Ganon/dorf's Namesake?

[TheDrunkZora]

I feel like Ganon itself existed first. Then like the dalai lama, ganondorf could be the reincarnation. The Gerudo are increasingly middle eastern anyway, and rupees are an actual middle eastern currency. I feel that being the reincarnation of ganon, ganondorf has spiritual memory of ganon's avarice. Along with the unknown full abilities of the triforce of power, ganon could regain form through ganondorf, and does so. Which could also explain why ganon is ganondorf's shadow beast in TP.

I think they are one in the same. Which would explain why the ganondorf is commonly called ganon, because it's ganon's spirit/soul hosted within a gerudo's body.

I've always thought Ganondorf transforms into a beast, and the boss name text before the battle says "Ganon", which does not mean the transformed Ganondorf is a different thing from the beast form. It's the same thing, there is no "reincarnation" or "being possessed" to do with Ganondorf.

Gannon = Gannondorf

Why would he be named after himself?

As a kid at the age of five, I have always believed that Ganondorf was Ganon hence why both of them have close to the same names. For example Ganon is short for Ganondorf. Not only that but Ganondorf turns into Ganon, so really is it not logical to say that they both are the same being? (But of coarse I came across a lot of people that believe they are separate beings.) :huh:
