"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose"
Wind Waker remains my favorite LoZ for many reasons and chief among them is giving Ganondorf even the barest amount of characterization and motivation beyond "evil man bad conquer hyrule, stop him destiny child"
