A new fan theory surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom suggests Ganondorf will be doing his best Thanos impression.

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).

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.
