There has to come a point in time where you don’t just get beat, you get really beat. I’m talking about the same ol’ scenario playing over and over again. Subject A (Usually the Hero) goes on a quest, and after X amount of time beats down Subject B (Usually the Villain) Such is the case with the Legend of Zelda series. Our good old Subject A (Link, for those of you who can’t figure it out) always manages to save Hyrule while putting the hurt on our friend Subject B (Ganon/Ganondorf). Of course this kind of thing has to wear down our villain. You can’t just keep losing every single time. Something will eventually break be it mentally or physically. Every time the poor Gerudo tries to take over Hyrule, Link arrives once again to deliver what I have decided to call, a Linkwhopin’ And thus, welcome to another Somewhat Serious Article. If you haven’t figured out what this edition is about, you deserve a LINKWHOPIN’ First off, I know this is going to be repeated somehow. So lets get it straight. Its pronounced “Link –whh(wh sound as in “wh”at) – pin” Linkwhopin’ is the term for when Link completely owns someone or something. This usually results in messing up Ganon’s plans, and winding up killing/locking away/banishing/rekilling etc etc Ganon in the end. Now we as fans have been conditioned to rejoice when Hyrule is safe once more. Overlooking the fact that it will only to be in peril again when the next game comes out. Nevertheless you can’t help but feel sorry for all the Linkwhopin’s Ganon has had to go through. Legend of Zelda Adventure of Link A Link to the Past Link’s Awakening Ocarina of Time Majora’s Mask Oracle Series Anyway, right after Ganon’s revived by Twinrova, he immediately receives a Linkwhopin’ and gets sent back to where he came from. Kind of sucks. Four Swords, Four Swords Adventure, The Minish Cap The Wind Waker Oh and for those of you who didn’t know about that, I suggest you immediately forget what you just read. Twilight Princess Now that’s quite a lot for one guy to take. Think how much it would blow to have some kid with the same name, foil your plans over and over while saving a princess that has the same name EVERY *NAVING* TIME YOU TRY AND TAKE OVER HYRULE! I don’t know about you, but if I wasn’t insane at that point, I would at least take up knitting or something just to break the monotony. Point? The poor guy has had so many Linkwhopin’s I think he deserves a break. He could write his whole autobiography around this. 
So the next time you’re playing through Ocarina of Time, don’t gloat when you lock Ganondorf away. Instead feel a little sorry for the guy. Apologize to the TV even. Just remember what you learned here today about Linkwhopin’s. Things that you learned, in A Somewhat Serious Article. Filed under Games, Humor, A.S.S.A.

Aside from rather liberal uses of mathematical formulas, I must say, a very valid point. But then again, I loved given Ganon the good old Linkwhopin’ with only three hearts in OoT. Good times all around.

Well I used physics in my other A.S.S.A. I might as well use algebra in this one.
December 16th, 2005 at 8:54 am [quote]
Therefore, without loss of generality, given that A = Link, B = Ganondorf, and X = Link’s objective, regardless of specificity, it must follow that the presumed equation is true for all X. Therefore and thusly, Ganon’s getting a Linkwhopin’ next game. Q.E.D.
And if you understand that, then you have a lot of imagination.
(See Darth, you should be pullin’ stuff like this, just to give you the proper faux-academic feng shui.

I will NEVER EVER feel sorry for old Ganon/dorf, he deserves every Linkwhopin’ he gets from Link (well he did sort of destroy Hyrule in Wind Waker… in a way) and I look forward to the day when I play TWP and meet up with old Ganon/dorf for his next deserved Linkwhopin’ oh boy am I gonna enjoy it XD
December 16th, 2005 at 10:09 am [quote]
BTW Tingle and his inbred family deserve a Linkwhopin’ too
December 16th, 2005 at 2:08 pm [quote]
Ganon and Tinlge deserve a Linkwhopin’, but what I read on some other site, that Ganondorf was possibly a good person.Acoording to OoT legend, Ganondorf’s Parents (possibly just his mother) were killed by the Gerudo Wicthes, and Ganondorf was used as a vessel for Mandrag Ganon.while secretly learning the dark arts, Ganondorf rose to be a good leader, until he was tempted by the Triforce, and became completely evil.Then was defeated when he became Ganon, and both became separate from each other, but still mentally Linked, that’s how he came up with the form for Puppet Ganon.Then (those that never played FSA, QUIT READING UNTIL I SAY SO) in FSA, Ganondorf was reborn and a gerudo, but he was naturally tainted, and using dark arts again to use his own body as a vessel for Ganon, he took the Dark Mirror, and the Ancient Gerudo Trident, and used these weapons to become Ganon, by using Shadow Link, and Vaati, he rose to power, but the Four Links defeated him, and this time, Ganondorf is dead for good.(ok, all people can read again)So, what do you guys think?
December 16th, 2005 at 4:01 pm [quote]
Ganondorf didn’t die in the fsa he just got the *navi* beaten out of him. And I think it’s about time that Link gets a Ganonwhopin.
If you aren’t happy about what I just said watch this fan made Zelda mock up movie www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/105053
December 16th, 2005 at 4:39 pm [quote]
Yea,that is true. I cant wait till the tp is released, so i can see how this VERY POOR man gets his “Navi” kicked again. Ganondorf is such a dork, he needs some help.Not a Linkwhopin’ from link (and us plus Zelda) but some mental help. Y do u think he has all those minions. He sadly has no friends.Poor man (ugly creature), too bad everyone else and i of course dont give.
December 16th, 2005 at 5:02 pm [quote]
There are times when I pity the guy. Sometimes I give Link a Ganonwhoping on SSBM. See Ganny? You’re not the most hated guy in the universe. Tingle is.
December 16th, 2005 at 5:17 pm [quote]
I love giving every one in ssbm a ganonwhopin including tingle in greatbay.
December 16th, 2005 at 5:24 pm [quote]
tp is gunna be awsome! mabey this time, gannondork wont get a linkwhpn. hell get a wolfwhpn along with his new partner. but personnaly, i like gannondorf better than any other villan such as bowser, ridley, or andross. he just seems more evil, and seriouse about his job of overthrowing hyrule. hang in there gannondorf… your still my favorite villan..
December 16th, 2005 at 5:52 pm [quote]
oh, ya, I team up with zelda in ssbm, and Give ganon a lv.9 and a handicap9, and I STILL beat him. Talk about a linkwhopping.
December 16th, 2005 at 7:06 pm [quote]
Dude, I totally agree that the greatest Linkwhopin’ had to be ALttP!
Now, I WOULD feel some remorse for the Gerudo if he weren’t a wicked Dark Lord, holding a piece of or (in one case) the entire Triforce, boasted with world-destroying magic. Being someone of that power yet getting crushed time and time again seems too pansyish for me to pity. Call me cold hearted, but you’d think, considering his strength, he’d score a win by now…but alas, no.
December 16th, 2005 at 8:41 pm [quote]
LOL, DC!!
And I just started playing OoT today, so when I beat Ganon i shall say, “now, THAT’S a Linkwhopin!!” and then i shall apologize… with my fingers crossed behind my back!!
December 17th, 2005 at 12:24 am [quote]
“I’m just a mask for Din’s Sake”!?!?! (If you’re confused see the Ganondorf autobiography cover,) Priceless… I never could quite get over that. All that work…to give a Linkwhopin’ to a mask. How terribly sad. On a slightly similar note, I loved the autobiography cover screen tip too.
December 17th, 2005 at 12:04 pm [quote]
Sad thing is that Citrus is right. Ganondorf is lame. :-p
Linkwhoopin’s are all too common. It’s not really fun to beat Ganon in any Zelda games that are around. You beat one Ganon, you beat ‘em all.
Though, that book cover is pretty funny. XD

Darth Citrus, I have to commend you. Your articles are always well thought-out and imaginative, and I have never read an article of yours that has not left me on the floor in hysterics. The best part about this article is the book cover at the end-I thought that was very clever and very well done, not to mention halarious!
Good job, Darth! You’ve done it again!

He had the best chance to wish for anything in the world, and still gets his *NAVI* kicked.

Or for the umtimate humiliation a Tinglewhopin’ lol

*has a Tinlge voodoo doll* In SSBM you can give Tingle a Linkwhopin’, and even ride his ballon.Now that’s entertainment.And off the subject, what happened to the last ASSA, its suddenly a dead subject?We nearly hit 100 posts.

Through out the Zelda series, Ganon has had many a Linkwhopin’. You must feel sorry for the poor chap. Anyway, you all said that LttP was the most embarrising defeat in the history of Zelda. I must disagree. TWW was, in my opinion, the most embarissing defeat. He had the whole triforce, right in front of him mind you, and before he even touched it, the King poofed out of nowhere and wished first. That would emotinaly scar anyone for the rest of their (short, in Ganondorf’s case) life. To make the situation worse, he got the *Navi* kicked out of him by two twelve year olds. This is my argument for this ‘Somewhat Serious Artical’.

Congrats to Punk Princess Tetra, for proving that is really embarrassing.His surrogant parents were also embarrassed when they were defeated, they were mentioning their ages and fought in front of millions of veiwers (the Minish, they weren’t really in the game, but its fun to imagine) but their screaming still echoes in my brain.

I did consider that too. Hence you can see why I choose the title I did for the autobiography. However the reason I choose LTTP was that Ganon ALREADY had the whole triforce. So you’d think he’d wish to be the perminent ruler of Hyrule or something. Instead he never truely takes over Hyrule and he lost the Triforce. Thats where I come from on that.
But yes, TWW is indeed a Linkwhopin’ to remember.

How ironic… This is so true, so sad, and so freakin’ hilarious!
December 19th, 2005 at 11:47 am [quote]
Next time they lock old Ganon/dorf in the Evil Realm they should throw Tingle and his freakey family in as well… oh and Knuckel too.
December 19th, 2005 at 4:48 pm [quote]
It is sad when you stop to think of just how lame Ganondorf is in battle.
If it isn’t blasphemy, I would like to mention that Sephiroth would kick Ganondorf’s *navi*
Makes you wonder why this guy has so much staying power. He’s a good character, but heck, there’s only so much good character can do for you in battle.
Great job, DC, that was hilarious.
December 20th, 2005 at 11:26 am [quote]
Yeah they need to make Ganondorf REALLY evil again, in OOT and FF7 I really fealt motivated to defeat both Sephiroth & old Ganon/dorf because part of me wanted revenge on Sephiroth for Aeris death (to this day it is the only game that made me cry, lol) and revenge on old Ganon/dorf for what he had done to Hyrule and the Deku Tree.
December 20th, 2005 at 12:00 pm [quote]
REVENGE FOR DEKU TREE!!!Sorry, but I have to manage the power of boomerangs into something that can be carried in our pockets (since the Destroyer of Worlds ASSA, the airports in Hyrule are banning boomerangs) Then we can go against Ganon and Sephiroth (I never played FF7, but I have Kingdom Hearts) then we can deliver more *insert-name-here*whopin’s.
December 20th, 2005 at 12:07 pm [quote]
On a side note:Ganondorf, Veran, and General Onox were innocent pawns in Ganon’s battles, And Vaati deserves Linkwhopin’ because he tried to suck the lifeforce outta Zelda.Majora also deserves a Linkwhopin’ because he tried to smash one of Hylia’s (the planet that Link supposedly lives on) Moons into the planet.I’d watch the cucco’s if I were you, and Tingle too, who knows what he wants with all that money and force gems.

That is true, but he had the whole freakin’ Triforce right there in front of him! He was in shock the whole time the king was talking! One of his biggest, if not THE biggest blunder in the whole series, besids letting Link live when they ‘fought’ in the Forsaken Fortress. So I think I’ll stand behind my argument.

Who is more powerful Old Ganon/dorf of Majora?
December 21st, 2005 at 3:18 pm [quote]
Gano was just the typical arrogant evil corrupted idiot that every single other game features. I never had any kind of sympathy for him until Wind Waker. Not even then until the very end, when he’s being decadent. I mean, who wants to be the King of a dirty, tiny, desert kingdom where sand gets into everything and you’re always sweating or freezing your hind off and no one appreciates you? It’s not until he’s really old that he even starts looking back at his past. At that point I sense that Ganon regrets having been born evil. To go along with this, he’s getting soft. He initially doesn’t even want to kill Zelda and the Hero. I think he’s going senile, the man at least. He didn’t transform into the pig in Wind Waker. I think there is some grounds for seperating Ganon/dorf the Man from Ganon/dorf the Beast, and that the latter is pure evil while the former is simply corrupted.
December 21st, 2005 at 7:50 pm [quote]
Like I said earlier, Ganondorf was used to bring Mandrag Ganon back, and these two became separate upon Ganon’s first defeat by Link.The Human (Ganondorf Dragmire) was stuck in the void between dimensions, while the Beast (Mandrag Ganon) was completely locked in the Golden Land, but with only the residue of the ToP lleft in him, allowing him to taint the Golden Lands, turning it into the Dark World.Ganondorf still had the ToP, and used it to escape, and was finally taken down in WW, where he had the Master Sword lodged in his stone skull (talk about body piercing) until the sword was taken out (the remain are now scattered in the winds) and given a better place to rest once Hyrule was drained of its fresh water ocean, and stayed there until ALttP Link came to defeat Ganon and his alter ego (Aghanim, I think I spelt that wrong) with it.Am I clear or what?

Right here, the Castle is one of the coolest places, AND IT AIN’T FAIR!!!*sobs**becomes normal again* sorry.But then again, we go in 6 other ancient castles infested with monsters.

yeah we want to go inside the castle…..walk on that red carpet and…..sit down on the king’s throne…….and play keep away with the guards helmets and……go into Zelda’s room, jump on her bed, look into that giant oval mirror she keeps in there and….go through her stuff to see where she keeps her diary….where she writes about Link every day….and walk through the kitchen and dinning rooms…..walk through the dungeon where they keep prisoners…..Yeah that’s what we’ve all wanted to do that….at one time or another.

get inside the castle in OoT
Get smaller wallets (and less rare ruppees)
banks
