    After playing Tears of the Kingdom, not only was I blown away by the entire game, but I was inspired to write several different songs about it. One Ganondorf idea pushed above all the rest though, since I can't resist villain songs.... Besides, what's better than a villain who inevitably comes back over and over again, as a natural force instead of a misguided soul? This is the Demon King's confident song of immortality, despite a few frustrating, similarly eternal roadblocks.
    Lyrics:
    Bet you'd like to get the freak show started
    But my moves work slow
    There's a presence here that I've imparted
    Centuries ago
    When the chilling of the night first hits you
    Then you'll know I'm there
    You can try to have the legends fix you
    But you won't be spared
    Balance exists that calls through the abyss
    And in the chaos I create again
    Go ahead
    Bury Me
    I will not stay dead
    Hold me down
    Take my breath
    I will thrive instead
    Cheat the game
    Break my stride
    You'll see me again
    Like the plague
    I will spread
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    Flaunting danger like your head is empty
    But I've watched and learned
    You look like you never did expect me
    As if tides don't turn
    I've been known to win out with my patience
    There's no cure for fear
    You must think it's your imagination
    'Cause the devil's here
    Risen from bone as the spirits come home
    When I awake with a message to send
    Go ahead
    Bury Me
    I will not stay dead
    Hold me down
    Take my breath
    I will thrive instead
    Cheat the game
    Break my stride
    You'll see me again
    Like the plague
    I will spread
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    You recall
    To the past
    And ascend
    This crevasse
    Fused with power
    Strong of will
    Guided hands
    Fail you still
    All your might
    Gone to waste
    I will strike
    Leave no trace
    None can rise
    In my stead
    So why can't you just stay dead
    Just stay dead
    Stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    Stay dead
    I will not stay dead
    Go ahead
    Bury Me
    I will not stay dead
    Hold me down
    Take my breath
    I will thrive instead
    Cheat the game
    Break my stride
    You'll see me again
    Like the plague
    I will spread
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead
    'Cause I won't stay dead

    I love how this paints Ganon as a villain who KNOWS his place in the cycle. He knows that he's the balancing force that keeps order from overwhelming the scale of balance. And he KNOWS he'll win eventually, if he keeps playing the long game. He won't remain dead. Eventually Link or Zelda wil slip up. And when they do, he wins and chaos gets it's turn on top of the scale for once.

      Kinda makes me wish to one day get a spin-off LoZ game where we see what happens when it's the opposite, when Link or Zelda or both play the part of the villains and Ganon the part of the hero because Order overwhelmed the Scale. I know it would never happen but it would be interesting to see because with this whole "constant cycle" thing going on, surely there's at least ONE iteration where things didn't go as they normally do....

    "Balance exists that calls through the abyss, and in the chaos I create again"
    Is such a fantastic line. When we speak of balance we always think of restoring it, in manner positive. Set alight again flames that have waned. It's all the more despairing when you present something so linked to hope, to prosperity, and flip it upside down like this - remember that balance, a scale, has two sides. Remember that Ganon's continued influence over the world is an eternal struggle, Link's strife repetitive and his return a fact.

      His phylactery being, either the land of Hyrule, the Gerudo desert, or the big honking Triforce of power. Really depends on how one looks at it, now that I'm even thinking of it this way. Kind of like how Dracula's phylactery in the Castlevania Series (Yes, he's a vampire, but phylactery is a good enough word/understandable concept) is his castle. Tldr: Bunch of bullshit I ran with because it's a cool way of thinking of it.
      Edit: helps that ToK and BoW Gannon could be called a Lich King, what with his blood Moon sheniagians

      ​@@adrianstrider4960 The way I always pictured it, they're tied to each other - no part of the Triforce can exist without the others, which means no part of the Triforce can really get rid of any other part. So Link & Zelda will never have more than temporary peace, because Ganondorf will always come back.
      But whenever Ganondorf comes back, Link will be there to stop him. Even if Ganondorf manages to pull out a win, the cycle will come back around and a new Link will show up eventually.

    This is excellent, both as a song on its own and as an interpretation of Ganondorf's existence.
    I've always found it fascinating, the implications of Zelda and Link continually reincarnating while the same Ganon just keeps coming back. How he must process it, having to keep being beaten by the same two who never remember who he is, taken down every time he does rule, or comes close to ruling, Hyrule, again and again...
    Aviators, though, goes with the idea of Ganondorf taking delight in knowing that he will be back again after each unfortunate demise. That as the bearer of part of the Triforce, no matter how he is defeated, or how many times... the embodiment of Power will always be back to conquer and dominate once again. He will not stay dead.

    I could imagine this song playing when the Tarnished of Elden Ring is fighting Malenia for the 20th time and he finally managed to get a hit in. She is annoyed he keeps coming back, she is starting to get tired, and she is starting to get sloppy.
    She kills the Tarnished, but here he comes again.

    Now I'm a big fan of the song, it sounds cool, is cool, but more importantly, it draws attention to the *horrifying* reality that the antagonist cannot be dispatched. One who does more damage every time they return, one who is *barely* defeated each time. What sort of psychological torture would that be applying to the people of Hyrule? Even worse, to Link and Zelda?
    I love how this repaints Ganon in an atrociously terrifying light, one inevitable, and unstoppable.

    • @setster007
      @setster007 3 месяца назад +5

      He is. To nearly all, Ganon, the incarnation of power itself, is an unconquerable force. That's why everyone is too scared to even dare face him most of the time. His terrible power is so frightening, people don't even try to beat him. That's why Link MUST be the one to beat Ganon. Link, the incarnation of courage, will never be too scared to face Ganon, where no other would dare. Yes, the Master Sword choosing Link is often what gives Link the power needed to win. But he wouldn't be able to fight Ganon at all if he weren't the incarnation of courage.
      It also helps explain why early timeline Zelda is always so much more helpful than late timeline Zelda. Though she may not recall her past lives where she faced Ganon, it is still the same person, with the same soul. Faced with his terrifying power so many times, her soul itself could be scarred by the trauma. It's getting harder and harder for her to face him as she does it over and over again, and is scarred each time. She is wisdom, not courage. And I may not be anywhere near the incarnation of wisdom, but I'm smart enough to know that being intelligent is already unbelievably stressful. Now add on the pressure of her duty, AND the scars from facing him so much. No wonder her entire character in the Hyrule Warriors prequel-ish is fear and anxiety! No wonder she can't bear to battle against him anymore without the inspiration from Link's courage! She can only find the guts to fight him herself at this point when Link fights too, and shows her that they can fight and win once more.
      Dear heavens, I am so sorry.

    Everyone is talking about how Ganon is bragging that he won't stay dead and will always rise to spread his chaos again, but in order for the cycle to be a cycle, Ganon's chaos has to end too.
    "None can rise, in my stead,
    So why don't you just... Stay dead..."
    And then he realizes. You can even hear a change of tone as he says "Stay dead." Just as Ganon keeps saying that he won't stay dead, neither will the forces that oppose him. The nature of the cycle is that Ganon will bring chaos, but there will be something that brings order to the chaos. As he brags about how he defeats great forces of order again and again and how he won't stay dead, he realizes the same can be said of the other side of the coin.
    "So why don't you just stay dead?..
    ...'Cause I won't stay dead."
    As long as Ganon persists, there will be someone to oppose him. He realizes that he's the reason his enemies won't stay dead.

      While I completely agree and this is a great analysis, The lines "So why don't you just stay dead?" Are likely from Rauru/Zelda.
      That section of the songs seems to reflect Rauru's feelings when Sonia is killed by Ganondorf.
      The line "Non can rise, in my stead," is pure red and is interrupted by "So why don't you just stay dead? Just stay dead. Stay dead" which is golden. And so Ganondorf responds to the question "'Cause I won't stay dead."
      The lyrics all seem color coded. You can see a lot of them are also a pinkish. Almost like an in between of Gold and Red. Those lines fit both Rauru and Ganondorf perfectly.
      Pink lyrics:
      - Go ahead, bury me, I will not stay dead. Hold me down, take my breath, I will not stay dead.
      Gold lines:
      - Cheat the game, break my stride,
      Pink lines:
      - You'll see me again
      When Ganondorf is kneeling to Rauru his lines are white. Probably showing that it's unclear whether he is good or bad. And the final "'Cause I won't stay dead" is green.

      @@LittleAl016 What I mean is that Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom got very little screentime and we didn't get any insight into his motivations beyond jealousy of the Zonai. This song adds a lot to Ganondorf's personality as the singer is obviously the man himself. This song portrays Ganondorf as a schemer, an arrogant warrior poised to fight fate itself, and a man desperately driven to achieve his goals. In Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf is a perfectly functional villain but is nothing more than a big bad. Suffice it to say when I think of the best Ganondorf moments the Wind Waker monologues, execution scene, and many others will come to mind before anything from Tears of the Kingdom.

    • @skycastrum5803
      @skycastrum5803 9 месяцев назад +30

      Ehh, your description of the characterization the song gives is pretty much what TotK gives. Schemer, arrogant warrior, driven towards goals. Ganondorf doesn’t get much screen time, but what he does get is impactful, whether it’s his personality or his menacing presence.
      It’s kind of funny really, because I’m finding myself just slightly off with pretty much every opinion you had. Like, Windwaker was alright, and I appreciated Ganondorf’s characterization a lot in it, but his reasoning made little sense. If he did it all for his people, where are they? Why is there no extra part of the story explaining what they thought of his actions?
      As for this song, the music is solid, the theme is solid, but there’s something that just feels off about the whole thing. It doesn’t come across as “Ganondorf.” Like, he is the underdog due to fate and all, but he’s only able to do what he does because he’s got massive power. The song is more what I’d expect from a story where the baddie coming back is a surprise, and perhaps the good guys were a bit arrogant about the whole deal. In TotK though, it’s a last desperate effort and it’s really the good guys who are the underdogs, since in that instance it’s essentially fate that Ganondorf comes back and everyone knows it thanks to Zelda. But I’m no lyric writer, and outside of this I like the song considerably.

      He believed that the world should be filled with the strong and that the Zonai took the god like powers gifted to them for granted while he actually used them to their fullest abilities and recognized how powerful the Secret Stones were. They were molding a weak world of cowards and light in his eyes. You're kissing Wind Waker's ass for its portrayal of Ganondorf waaaay too much. It was good ofc don't get me wrong, but it's on the same level as his portrayal in TotK with the only exception being he has a tad more depth in Wind Waker. It is baffling that any of Ganondorf's moments in Wind Waker come to your mind before the many awesome monologues, flashbacks, and fight scenes against Ganondorf in TotK.

    Such a fresh change of pace and style for Aviators. They're usually more on the soft / hard rock or R&B kind of style, so I vastly appreciate this turn to hip-hop / synth trap-esque vibe. Definitely one of my favorite songs from them, it's a bonus that it's about one of my fave game franchises :)

    3:01 I’ve never actually realised how this part of the song refers to all the basic Zonai abilities in the game
    “You recall to the past” obviously refers to the recall ability which lets you rewind certain objects in time.
    “And ascend this crevasse” is talking about the ascend ability that allows you to dive through ceilings.
    “Fused with power, strong of will” is yet another obvious reference to the fuse which acts as the main source of (physical) power in the game.
    “Guided hands fail you still” most likely refers to both the ultrahand AND autobuild abilities, considering the use of plural “hands”.
    Even with all those powers, Ganondorf still won’t stay dead, and the cycle will simply continue over and over again ‘til the end of time.
