*Originally, Ganondorf when defeated in ''Twilight Princess'' gave a speech where he indicated Zelda and Link, and any who bore the marks of the Triforce of Wisdom and Courage, respectively, are inevitably going to enter conflict with anyone with Ganondorf's bloodline due to it being pre-ordained by the Gods.<ref name="Cut dialogue">https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess/Unused_Text#Ganondorf<br />選ばれし力を持つ者が現れる時<br />必ず、その対極を成す者が生まれ出ん<br />それが、お前達が信じる神が与えた<br />紋章を持つ者の運命だ<br />この世に紋章を持つ者が現れる限り<br />何度でも、流血の時代が訪れる (Translation: When the chosen ones appear...
