A new fan theory surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom suggests Ganondorf will be doing his best Thanos impression.
The theory, posited by the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit post just below, rightly points our Ganondorf has several unused slots in his obnoxiously large necklace. The post's author suggests Ganondorf will claim the titular Tears of the Kingdom from other characters in the new Zelda game, to Thanos Snap everyone out of existence (or just do some general evil).
Could it be? from r/tearsofthekingdom
We still don't know a lot about Ganondorf's motivations in Tears of the Kingdom - he was only finally revealed as the sequel's big bad earlier this month, after all - so it stands to reason he could be after the Magatama beads we've seen other characters holding.
If this is the case, we can expect Ganondorf to be gunning for Link, Sidon, Riju, Zelda, and other returning characters in Tears of the Kingdom. We've already seen artwork where several returning characters possess the mysterious Magatama beads, which some are taking to represent the literal Tears of the Kingdom, and grant new powers to whoever wields them.
There's a lot of unconfirmed speculation surrounding Tears of the Kingdom right now, including the possibility of old-school dungeons being back, as well as what appears to be Skyward Sword's Demise back in full force. All this rampant speculation only makes the new Zelda game all that more intriguing.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally launches on May 12.
