[Putnam]

The trailer features Ganondorf's corpse already...

[Madman198237]

It may or may not be Ganondorf, the consensus seems to be. I recall another possibility being mentioned in an analysis video somewhere.

Anyway, very excited as I enjoyed Breath of the Wild immensely. Definitely one of my favorite videogames of all time.

It would have to be, like, another male gerudo? Which seems like a real stretch, all things considered

[Telgin]

The skeletal figure that Link and Zelda see in the trailer?  I actually didn't realize that was supposed to be Ganondorf at all and thought it was just one of the shrine monks for some reason.

I'm going to avoid trying to speculate too much on the story.  I've read everything from Demise to Zant showing up in the game being speculated.

[MorleyDev]

Could also be a Link Between Worlds scenario where somebody Hijacks Ganon instead. Though that they've simply announced "It's in development" makes me think they haven't finalized the basic story yet anyway, so everything could be subject to change and speculation based on what we have is a little pointless

I think that the thing on its forehead would be a dead giveaway.
I mean, Ganondorf had it ever since OoT.

Fierce Deity Ganon, accept no substitutes. Someone has to stand up for the monsters we murder in an unending cycle of harvest and torment.

So by 'killing' calamity ganon did we just set Ganondorf's spirit free to return to his body?

I missed that detail, but that does make sense.

While I'd like for there to be some variety, Ganondorf will be okay.  I'm mostly happy that it looks like he won't be some weird amalgamation of a giant spider, deathbot and man face this time.

On a different note, I'm wondering how they plan to handle things like the shrines in the sequel.  Will there be a return to more conventional pieces of heart, or are they going to find some excuse for there to be 100+ shrines scattered around / reset for Link to dig through?

Why not? I mean, no male Gerudoes in the series yet not named Ganondorf, but that doesn't mean that has to always be the case.
I wonder if we will finally find out who is supposed to have the Triforce of Power. Probably not, but a person can dream, can't they?

[Egan_BW]

Male gerudo are supposed to happen once every 10,000 years or something absurd like that. Give or take an order of magnitude, I don't really remember. Point is, it's kinda logical statistically that Ganondorf is the only one we've seen.

[pikachu17]

It is canonically 100 years, not 10,000. Every game with living Gerudo, or is a sequel to such, should have a male Gerudo, even if he's not shown considering 100 years is the minimum amount of time between games that don't have the same Link.

Wasn't it explicitly stated to be Ganondorf in Twilight Princess?

[Iduno]

It may or may not be ...consensus.

[forsaken1111]

It may or may not be ...consensus.

The consensus can be that it's uncertain...
