EH_STEVE Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The official usage in 25 years, since someone decided to just throw it into the English Instruction manual for Link to the Past, it seems that Ganondorf's official name is "Ganondorf Dragmire" Unless of course you don't want to consider the official Zelda website canon, but here it is: http://zelda.com/online-guide/ I've always kind of liked it, so I don't have qualms with this. But I can see some that might. Sheri and Gold 2 Quote Link to comment

JanusDS Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ok, now I'm going to associate Ganondorf with Quagmire from Family Guy because the last names rhyme....thanks! purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 To be honest, I always thought his name was Ganondorf Dragmire. For as long as I can remember that's what it his full name was, had no idea it was even up for debate. Quote Link to comment

So it wasn't considered official because they believe the writer just sort of threw it in there randomly. Kezay and Gravitas 2 Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Had no idea, the name is awesome enough that I just assumed it was always official. Quote Link to comment
L'Arachel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I told my husband about this and he's pretty sure it also appeared in Smash Bros (Melee?) somewhere? As such, he'd always just assumed it was canon and didn't think it was any kind of news. Quote Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 What sort of bothers me is that the Gerudo all have exotic Middle-Eastern-sounding names, but "Ganondorf Dragmire" just sounds like a standard medieval European fantasy name. Doesn't sound like a Gerudo name at all. Marxforever 1 Quote Link to comment
luigitornado Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 That's all sorts of awful. Shame on the intern who thought it up all those years ago, and shame on the intern who brought it into the spotlight again. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Nah, it's not canon until it's referenced in a game, or at least Hyrule Historia. Hell, if they wanted to confirm the Dragmire name, Hyrule Historia is where they would have done it, not a website that no one reads. I have no idea why they used the Dragmire name on the English site. I don't know who at Nintendo of America develops or maintains it. For all I know they have nothing to do with the games and just did some weak Google search and stumbled upon the name. tbh I would consider the website to be LESS trustworthy of a source than the ALLTP manual, so I'm not really sure how it being on the website confirms anything. The proper reaction to this being on the website should be "Huh, weird." not "Guys look Dragmire is canon now." That people would uncritically assume such is silliness.

Carl321 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This is actually my first time hearing about it Quote Link to comment
Marxforever Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Dragmire... I should've named my Giant Horse in BotW that. It sounds a hell of a lot better than just Dragon which I took from the (Gerudo) Dragon Smash move from Melee, since I was having trouble thinking of something related to Ganondorf. Crap... I suppose Phantom could've worked. Quote Link to comment
