Smertios, I'm almost positive that at the end of OoT Navi calls him Daimaou. He was a Maou throughout the whole game, and then at the end he is called Daimaou.
Atleast I'm pretty sure Erimgard said that lol
Oh, ok, didn't know Navi called him daimaou in the end...
It wasn't a recurring topic that was discussed, it was accepted and not discussed like the SW.
It was accepted until I came back and started saying you were all wrong Not that Ollathir wasn't doing that already lol
Or it's just whatever the **** he wants to call himself lol.
I believe there is a quote in FSA that implies Yami no Maou is a title only granted to the bearer of the trident of power...
I mean people thought that Vaati was the King of Darkness.
Because they didn't know what it takes to be an YnM, and they definitely didn't know Ganon existed...
And, yeah, Great Demon King is very generic. But how is it any more generic than King of Darkness, lol?
Because of that quote from FSA...
Except Daimaou ALWAYS refers to a specific person in Zelda because there is always only ONE Daimaou at a time.
Proof?
Daimaou refers to Ganon JUST THE SAME as Yami no Maou refers to Ganon. How does that make Daimaou unimportant? The Daimaou and the Yami no Maou are the same person. Iif England was the only country in the world and the King of England was the only king that "King/Great King/Awesome King/etc" could refer to then wouldn't that make it essentially the same as "King of England"? Thus giving either both significance, or both being generic and unimportant?
What I meant was: there can easily be two Maous that are considered "big", the same way there can be two kings that are considered "high", but there can't be two "Kings of Engand", the same way there cannot be two "Maous of Darkness"... Unless, of course, there are two tridents...
They're the same damn thing.
If you ignore FSA completely...
He has the trident in LoZ, and he's called BOTH the Daimaou and Yami no Maou in OoX.
He doesn't have the trident in LoZ.
As for OoX, the only thing that you have to understand is that Ganon is a Maou, a big Maou... But he is also the Maou of Darkness...
You're saying that LoZ doesn't have the trident (even though artwork and the ONLY remake EVER made for the game (rerelease is the same thing as the original and they changed absolutely nothing). Even if that remake doesn't deserve a spot in the timeline, it shows clear intent that the developers invision LoZ Ganon as using the trident), and... I'm unsure about your views on OoX Ganon...
Artwork released with LoZ in 1986 showed Ganon with no trident.
Artwork released with LttP in 1991 showed Ganon with a trident.
Artwork released with LA in 1993 showed Ganon with no trident.
So, if you are going for most recent intent shown in artwork, Ganon has no trident...
As for BSLoZ, you might have a point. But I still don't think the trident was ever important to the storyline as a whole before OoX and FSA: imo, they added the trident to OoX to imply a connection to LttP (Ganon died with the trident in LttP, was ressurected with the trident in OoX); and added it in FSA just so they could give LttP's Ganon a new backstory.
I guess you don't find what happens in BS LoZ, the only remake ever of the original LoZ made by the Zelda team, important at all?
It is not a remake. It's a new game, with new characters, a new map and a new storyline, loosely based on the stories of LoZ and LttP...
