The possible connections between the Gerudo, Sheikah, and Twili.Basically, it's unknown what the Twili people looked like before they were banished to the Twilight Realm and why the other two races were largely absent in Twilight Princess, with theories usually arguing that the Gerudo or the Sheikah are actually the Twili. In the comic, Impa explains that they were all once the same people but split into three groups after the Sheikah allied with Hylians after they came down from Skyloft, with the Twili exiled by the Hylians while the Gerudo migrated into the desert.
The line between Demise the Demon King and Ganondorf the Gerudo King.While it's very strongly hinted that Ganondorf is the reincarnation of Demise and his hatred in canon, it doesn't quite line up with his genuine sympathy over the poor living conditions of the Gerudo in The Wind Waker. Here, Ganondorf and Demise are presented as completely different characters, where the former actively fights against his destiny to become Demise's human vessel. How the Kokiri and Koroks are connected.Unlike Laruto and Medli, who are biologically related, it's unexplained how Fado and Mekar are connected due to the obvious Never Grew Up problem of the Kokiri and plant-like nature of Koroks. The comic explains that Koroks are Kokiri but at a younger life stage, where they grow up from the ground like plants but become more humanoid over time. Adaptational Gender Identity: Zelda/Sheik.In the original game, the Sheik identity was merely a Sweet Polly Oliver disguise used by Zelda to prevent being discovered by Ganondorf, but in the comic, Zelda is transgender and chooses to call themselves "Sheik" as part of a Meaningful Rename and to honor the Sheikah tribe. As Sheik, they're referred to with masculine pronouns even by friends who know of their original name. The Helmaroc and Kargarok are Bond Creatures to the Gerudo, so naturally in a story that is from the Gerudo perspective, these birds are just as heroic as their respective masters and each Kargarok functions as an Instant Messenger Pigeon for the tribe.Īs a result, it's only actually used as a disguise to keep Link and Ganondorf out of danger during their heists on Hylian territory, and to reveal their true colors to their father before jumping in to help Link deal with a transformed Ganondorf.Iron Knuckles are no longer possessed Gerudo, but willing warriors with strength-enhancing armor that act as heavy-hitters in their forces.The armor is rarely used against other races, particularly Hylians, because it would be an unfair fight. Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Ganondorf and Nabooru.Ocarina of Time had them as king and second-in-command respectively, with Nabooru secretly rebelling against Ganondorf up until she was caught and brainwashed by Twinrova. Here, they barely start out as a couple and then husband and wife in later arcs.
In The Wind Waker, he was the spirit of a king who felt like he failed to protect Hyrule from Ganon and generally acted as a grandfatherly figure towards Link and Zelda. The comic has him as a very vengeful king who's out to kill Ganondorf and the rest of the Gerudo, and generally acts controlling and even antagonistic towards Link and Zelda. Alternate Universe: Of The Legend of Zelda games.
It resembles The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the most, but characters from other games in the series (e.g.
