To have a believable threat and danger in Zelda games they need to have a good Villain. Now there are a number of different aspects that make a good Villain and each Villain is unique in their own way. The Zelda series has really developed over the years and so has the main Villain, we have went from barely knowing Ganon in the original LoZ to having the likes of Ghirahim who acted as a rival.
On the one hand getting to know the Villain more will give us better a view on the narrative in the game, it will give us a better insight personally on to who actually is that specific Villain. One of the main pluses I think of Ghirahim is that he acted as Links rival throughout the events of Skyward Sword. We got to know him pretty well and we seen his character devolop as we progressed. At the start he taunted Link and never seen him as a notable threat however he got more and more annoyed with Link, to the point that he got very angry. This sort of character development really had an impact on the game and in a way it made us feel as we were getting stronger.
So what I want to know is that would you like to see this trend continuing in future Zelda games? Maybe we could get to know the origins and generally more about the Villain, even giving them more dialogue. Or would you like the main Villain to stay pretty much anonymous?
