Ganondorf Is Daddy and Other, Less Horny Takeaways from the Final ‘Tears of the Kingdom’ Trailer

The final “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” trailer dropped overnight. The almost-four-minute-long trailer confirmed Ganondorf’s return, debuted new looks for Link and Zelda, introduced new characters and signalled the return of old favourites, teased some of the contraptions Link can make with his new Fuse ability, and more. I could go on and on. But instead, I’ve rounded up the best reactions to the “Tears of the Kingdom” final trailer, because the internet has been going wild since it dropped, and the memes are fantastic.

Everyone Is Horny For Sexy Ganondorf

Along with the final trailer, Nintendo released official character art for the returning characters, including the “Tears of the Kingdom” villain Ganondorf.

How do I say this politely… Fans are horn dogs for the big boy.

Gamespot even did the maths and calculated sexy Ganondorf to be just shy of 10 foot tall. That’s more than three metres! For reference, Link stands at about five foot tall.

*walking around your house pushing things off shelves* of COURSE he's hot. ganondorf has ALWAYS been hot. be serious for once in your sorry life

Zelda Has New Hair (and I Want to Look Just Like Her)

There are a few signs in the final trailer that “Tears of the Kingdom” takes place some years after “BOTW”, and Zelda’s gotten the chop in that time.

There Are Lots of Little Details In the Final Trailer

Some of the details disprove certain theories, but overall we have lots more to work with. Of note is our first real sense of what the tears of the kingdom actually are and who the figures in the mystical carving are.

Zelda has a tear… so does Sidon… and Ganondorf…

These really are the Tears of the Kingdom. 👀💧🩸 pic.twitter.com/fpuClGv6p5

So far we see 6 of the "tears" of the kingdom…

1. Zelda holds
2. Ganon's forehead
3. Sidon's hand
4. Tulin's waist
5. Mystery lady …could be the same one Zelda has?
6. Riju's earring…?

7th tbd. Maybe Link has it.#totk #TearsoftheKingdom pic.twitter.com/UYCRc8l2Kq

I personally think Zelda and Ganondorf will undergo the same process throughout the game from what it seems: Zelda may reach the “Hylia” form, and Ganondorf will reach his “Demise-like” form. pic.twitter.com/mKnwajEQml
