Ganon is not a Gerudo

[Daku Rinku]

Urbosa mentions in Botw that "It is written that Calamity Ganon once adopted the form of a Gerudo.." which proves my theory that Ganon is not a Gerudo, but a Demon King or Sorcerer Shape Shifter like Sauron who took on the form a Gerudo to achieve his ends in The Ocarina of Time and other legends. That the Boar/Pig faced Blue Form is Ganon's true form.

We know Botw is after Ocarina because Urbosa says Nabooris is named after Her of memory, Nabooru who fought Ganondorf.

For some reason Ganon keeps using the Gerudo form, which is intriguing, does he fear if a Gerudo Male is born? And does 100 year cycle even acknowledge Ganon since he is not a true Gerudo? If that is the case, where is the Male Heir? Perhaps Link is that Gerudo, he may not have red hair (though Gerudo hair now vaires from brunette to red and even pink, blond could be possible), but his parentage is always in question, it would make sense if his mother was a Gerudo, and he was put in hiding because of Ganon because it would disturb the Gerudo that there is Ganon who looks like Gerudo and Link who would be the true heir.

Umm, is it possible that OOT Ganon is not the same as BOTW Calamity Ganon? OOT Ganondorf dies in TP. But according to the alleged Urbosa quote, she is talking about BOTW Calamity Ganon. So if you are trying to say that OOT Ganondorf/Ganon is the same as BOTW Ganon then I beg to differ.

Except Botw and Totk introduce the reincarnation explanation, so its possible OoT/TP Ganon is Calamity Ganon, since I am arguing he is Demon Being who takes forms, then unlike Link and Zelda he technically is only having the body reborn, his spirit like Sauron with The One Ring endures, oppose to each Link and Zelda being different even in spirit.

This actually kinda builds on something I posted earlier. I kinda like it.

Oh? Do tell!

It basically said Ganon was a physical incarnation of the triforce of power, before merging with Null to create calamity Gabon.

Oooh that is an interesting hypothesis. Nintendo seems to be tying all of it together, so I can see this being the case.

 

[Commander_Has]

Who then manipulated history during the break between fallen hero and calamity so that the triforce was all but forgotten.

If you want to read it I tagged it as timeline theory.

I shall give it a look!

I'm kinda digging this. I have purposed that the entity we see as Ganon is something more primal.

Perhaps the male every 100 years, and the becoming king, are the doing of his followers, spreading lies, so that he could take over.

Alternatively there is a male every 100 years, and that male does become king, so Ganon simply replaces the rightful king as Ganondorf.

His surrogate mothers, Koume and Kotake, are likely instrumental in either case.

I like this! Has Dune vibes, that Twinrova is like The Bene Gisseret witches helping Ganon become the dark messiah to fulfill the prophecies of the desert dwellers, the Fremen or Gerudo in this case!

Now that you mention it, yea.

I think Ganon chooses a Gerudo form to reincarnate into because that is the strongest and most versatile humanoid vessel he could pick. I would say his true form is actually a Demon King and closest to what is seen in Skyward Sword and ToTK with the flaming hair and grey skin, however due to needing to manipulate other humans and humanoids and fit in with Hyrules society that sort of thing doesn't fly.
