Still in writing! It's my opinion on a part of the Legend of Zelda series. PLEASE comment on it, I want to make it acceptable!

The Various Villains of the Legend of Zelda Series
If you have ever played a Zelda game, you know that often the player feels a strong urge to kill the villain and therefore beat the game. The Legend of Zelda series has a detailed history of villains.Villains often have a purpose that drives the player to defeat them, to save Hyrule. In nearly every Zelda game, the villain waits for Link to defeat them.However, throughout Link’s adventure, Link sees influence of their power.

The Enemy
Monsters roam Hyrule, attacking Link, dirtying the land and destroying peaceful towns and villages. The main villain, who often goal is often to destroy Hyrule, controls them. They aren’t always the same antagonist, however. The ‘’Legend of Zelda’’series has a total of 13 final bosses, who are almost always the main villain.In 7 games, Ganondorf is the antagonist, and in 11 games the villain is only in that one game or only is a main villain in that game. In ‘’The Minish Cap’’ and‘’Four Swords’’, Vaati is the enemy, and he also acts as the antagonist for most of ‘’Four Swords Adventures’’. Ganondorf is the stereotypical villain, the Prince of Darkness, the King of Evil. He represents darkness and shadow, and was popular enough to appear in 7 different games. His goals and actions are often one dimensional, though-his goal is often just obtaining power, conquering Hyrule for no real reason, and kidnapping Zelda, though it is not always given a clear reason why. Sometimes he just wants revenge, though, and sometimes his objectives are given a clear reason.

The only other recurring main antagonist, Vaati, appears in much less games though his goals are often just as unclear. In Four Swords, he kidnaps Zelda, just as Ganon does in many of the games he appears. In the Minish Cap, he is simply on a quest for power in the form of the Light Force. The 13 other villains motives are also unclear, however some are given reasons. However,often their motives are one-dimensional, though unique. One of the advantages of having anon-reoccurring Final Boss is that they are often unique and different from Ganon, and also less empty and boring. The disadvantage is that they are given less time to show who they really are, and both their objectives and history. For example, Nightmare, the final boss[es] of ‘’Link’s Awakening’’, has both disadvantages and advantages to it’s plan. However, to beat the game, Link doesn’t have a choice between living in a dream and theoretically “saving the world”, but letting the dream word be invaded by evil spirits or destroying the dream island Kohoklint and doing what it seemed was right, waking up the Wind Fish and destroying the friends Link had met on his journey,  yet they were never real in the first place.

The best villain is not always the most famous, or the one that appears the most often.Majora is a villain that is given nearly nothing, except that it thinks Termina, and life in general, is a game. From the small amount of information the player learns about Majora, it is easy to craft a hatred of it. Majora is also notable for being the only villain who does not wait for Link to kill them, and instead thinks him small and powerless and carries out their plans without him making a move to stop it. Majora is the one of the only villains tohave a purpose, and also it is notable that, during Link’s adventure in Termina, Link can lose. He can watch Termina being destroyed before his eyes and watch as everyone, including himself, that he met during his adventure dies. The Legend of Zelda series needs more villains like Majora, beings who we can hate, and alsoa villain that we may know nothing about, but can fill in the blanks with chaos, darkness, and death rather than beings who’s motives are unclear and the emptiness in what we know about them is instead filled in with uncaring. Thereis no purpose playing a game in which the purpose is unclear, or seems stupid.Every game in the series may be fun to play and detailed, but if the villain is boring, then why play the game?
