Hero!Ganon AU

[goodguyganny]

I don't understand you.

Bringing me somewhere to 'talk' to people, but not letting my partner come with me...

Almost like you want this to end badly.

[Another Ganon. But one with a partner?]

...when did you start calling your minions partners?

[goodguyganny]

[Another Link. But...so young?]

I said partner; I mean partner.

[timezone]

...when did you start having partners?

[goodguyganny]

[This is certainly a warm welcome.]

Why are you so surprised I'd have one?

I follow his canon on Tumblr, btw. Nice to see him show up. :)

[timezone]

[It's not the coldest he's given. That probably didn't help though.]

You're Ganondorf. You seek absolute power for yourself and no one else. Having a partner would mean sharing and you don't share.

oh gosh DO YOU REALLY

[goodguyganny]

[Link gets a long stare before the King crosses his arms.]

You're confusing me with someone else.

I do! I love the AU stuff.

[timezone]

You're not Ganondorf Dragmire, King of the Gerudo?

SMALL INTERNET

[goodguyganny]

I'm Ganon, King of the Gerudo.

This 'Ganondorf' person sounds like he'd disgrace his sisters.

Are you the writer of it or a fan?

[timezone]

Ganon is what he was called when he became the giant pig monster after he abused Power and let it transform his body because he lost the fight. I won't say if he was a disgrace or not, that's not my place.

[A beat.]

I'm glad you aren't him though, even if you look a lot like him.

[This Link was pretty used to meeting people who were parallel universe twins of other people but definitely weren't the same people and could easily accept this declaration of not being Ganondorf.]

The writer 8>b

[goodguyganny]

[He scratches at his goatee.]

Me, too.

You fought this Ganondorf?

Oh gosh, that's awesome!

[timezone]

Yeah. I didn't kill him, though, even though I did put the Master Sword through his forehead. He was too powerful to kill and Zelda and the sages could only seal him away.

...I've learned that it's not the first time that's happened to him since coming to this place.

heeee glad you think so

[goodguyganny]

[Ganon huffs--The thought of that happening to him is the stuff of nightmares.

Time for a subject change.]

How long have you been 'here'?

He's been bumming around in my head, but demanded to talk to you... so new journal!

[curse_of_power]

[Have an amused looking Ganondorf crossing his arms and just chuckling for a bit.]

And tell me, just who is this so called 'partner.'

YES GOOD

[goodguyganny]

[Oh Din, this is unsettling. Ganon frowns, top lip curling.]

Who's asking?

[For the love of everything covered in sand, just be a king from the past or something.]

[timezone]

[He gives that some thought.]

I first got pulled into here about two, maybe three years ago? I was shoved away for a year or so and then I got brought back last year in the summer and have been allowed to run around since. It's nice to get to stretch my legs so much.

Mwahahahaha~!

[curse_of_power]

[Ganondorf just plain laughs as he raises one fist, the Triforce of Power shining on the back of his hand.]

I am Ganondorf Dagmire, King of the Gerudo, Conqueror of Hyrule, and King of the Demons.

[goodguyganny]

[Okay, we're taking a step back...

And then we're raising our own hand. On the back is the full triforce.]

Ganon, King of Gerudo, Hero of Might and slayer of the Queen.

I've heard of you.

[curse_of_power]

[Smirk. Wisdom and Courage are overrated anyway. He's got all the magic he needs without the Triforce of Wisdom, and doesn't need Courage when he's got all the power he could want.]

Glad to see my reputation precedes me. I answered your question, however, so I feel it only fair you answer mine. Who is this Partner you spoke of? On a more amusing note, what is the name of this Queen you slayed?

[goodguyganny]

Mm.

Suppose it would.

My...

[He frowns, at a loss for words. C'mon, Link, help a guy out.]

My--my--ah. What do you call the scribe for you?

[goodguyganny]

The Queen was Hylian--named Zelda; its their tradition.

My partner is Link.

[timezone]

Scribe is a good word. I call her my Lady Goddess or the Hand guiding my fate now that my destiny has been fulfilled. It's up to you and her to figure out what works best for you. Others have called theirs 'mundanes' or 'mun', though.

[goodguyganny]

Mundane. That's the word I was trying to remember...

My Scribe, Mundane, whatever, they. This is their first time bringing me here. They are...they say they're 'rusty', when it comes to this place. I'm not sure what that means.

[timezone]

It means they've been here before, or a place like it, but it's been long enough that they aren't sure of themselves. It's like... taking up the sword after a decade of not using it. They need practice and worry they won't be good enough.

[curse_of_power]

[That gets Ganondorf laughing like it was the funniest joke in the universe. This was just too rich.]

Oh, the Goddesses have a sense of humor after all... in my version of Hyrule, Zelda is traditionally the leader of the Seven Sages and bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom. Link is her eternal errand-boy, attempting to put out the fires she allowed to start.

[goodguyganny]

[He nods, smiling at Link's analogy.]

I understand.

It's good, though. 'Stretching my legs', as you put it.
