My Ganondorf tribute video In order to fully understand my intentions with this video, one may need at least a passing familiarity with Norse mythology, specifically the events of Ragnarok, to see why they can correspond to Ganondorf. It also helps if you like Heavy Metal, as the song used is by Amon Amarth.
Explanation of the lyrics and why they fit with Ganon:
I rise up from Muspelheim
My fury is sublime
The sword I bring burns violently
With wild and lethal flames
(Ganon's original incarnation as Demise, arising from imprisonment and bearing a firey, evil sword.)
I march against the Asa gods
To bring the end of time
I am pure and endless pain
And Surtur is my name
(Defilement and rebellion against the rule and law of the Goddesses.)
See me rise, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and earth
See me rise, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and earth
(Ganondorf's attainment of demigod level power and transformation into the Demon King Ganon)
Swordless Frej with horn in hand
Rises to his final stand
He doesn't stand a single chance
I'll split his living corpse in half
(Link, disarmed, fighting a most-likely losing battle...)
And yet he stabbed me in the eye
He drove the horn in deep
The overwhelming, raging pain
Is driving me insane
(...but emerging victorious despite the odds!)
The waves of flames that I've unleashed
Will eat us all alive
The rage that burns within my hearth
Is uncontrolled and wild
And now everything shall die
(Ganondorf's rage, hate, and demigod-like power.)
Massive waves consume us all
The ocean is released
Our dying world quakes underneath
And sinks into the sea
(Hyrule, under the Great Sea, finally being truly flooded and allowed to die.)
And now nothing will survive
(Ganondorf's attempt to kill Link and Zelda and deny them the future Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule intended to give them.)
Extinction waits for everyone
For Gods and men alike
When all are gone of the old world
A new one will arise
(Ganondorf's ambition to remake the world in his image.)
See me rise, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and earth
See me rise, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and earth
See me die, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Drowning in waves that floods the earth
The beginning of a new rebirth
See me die, the mighty Surt
Destroyer of the universe
Drowning in waves that floods the earth
The beginning of a new rebirth
(Ganondorf's death in two seperate timelines, paving the way for a new incarnation as per Demise's unending curse.)
