the future of zelda

[Kriven]

Since there's so much time between Ganondorf's appearances, it's impossible to determine whether it's the same body or not. I've always been under the impression that even if OoT Ganondorf was imprisoned in the Twilight Realm that the body itself perished while the demon spirit inhabited the realm until it located or created a new host body. Ganon's reincarnations seem to be a lot like Link's and Zelda's with the benefit of a traveling memory... I mean, the Ganon entity is not distinct from its body the way Link is (as evidenced by the Hero's Shade)... With the Hero there appears to be two spirits which inhabit one body, but with Ganon this isn't true. So when it can be said that "This Ganon was sealed away" that is accurate in the sense that Ganon is the same spiritual entity. But not necessarily the same body.
