This contains some spoilers to the ending of the Wind Waker
A thought donned on me today while I was playing the Wind Waker. In the end of the final battle, Link deals a blow to Ganondorf’s head, shattering the gem on his forehead, and sealing him in stone. Being the odd self I am, I had to put more thought into it—perhaps so I can prove that Ganondorf may or may not be dead in this “Adult” Timeline.
He states above that the wind of the Gerudo Desert was the cause of his people’s suffering and demise. And analyzing what he says after the final blow, it can be taken two different ways:
Ganondorf could be referring to the same wind that wiped out the Gerudo, or perhaps he is acknowledging the fact that Link is the Hero of the Winds. Link is also referred to as the Waker of the Winds… Link, in a sense, awoke the wind of Gerudo Desert by defeating Ganondorf.
During the final battle, I believe I have already pointed this out, but, you can still see the Crest of Power on Ganondorf’s hand even after the Triforce once again separates into three directions. Somehow, he still possesses the Triforce of Power. Any normal mortal being would not get petrified or sealed in stone. The Triforce had to have reacted to the Master Sword’s blessed power. Again, I think I had a thread about this part, saying that since Ganondorf reformed the Triforce, he is able to keep that fragment of it.
Some say he was turned to stone, whereas others think he was just sealed in it. Either way, it is still stone. But, getting a bit scientific on this, I have to ask: “What kind of stone was it?” You may not think this is of much significance, but… at first, I thought it was a type of sedimentary rock, perhaps limestone or shale. But if Hyrule became flooded with the Great Sea, sedimentary can be soluble in water. The only possible metamorphic rock I could come up with that is reasonable would be marble, but I do not think Michelangelo would want to make a sculpture of Ganondorf… The only other thing I can point out, is that not only Ganondorf was petrified—his swords were too.
Just some observations… even though I don’t want it to be exactly true, I do believe he is done for… (I have been doing a terrible job at keeping him off of my mind -.-)

Ganondorf said:When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death.
