NOOOOOO please don't be true
I was just thinking about how Zelda is the one Nintendo franchise that could actually make for a good animated movie and how bad of an idea it would be to let Illumination make it.

Miyazaki: Ganondorf is the avatar of capital and environmental disaster, slay him Link, for the love of God slay him or we will continue to endure this Hell...
Skull Kid from Majora's Mask is the avatar of nihilism and environmental apocalypse. Ganondorf is more of an anti-christ religious figure than anything to do with capitalism. Hyrule is locked into a feudal system by recurring demons fucking up all accumulations of capital before any other social structures can develop. Ganon/The Demon King prevents capitalism and keeps the world in eternal feudal idiocy. Ganondorf is an avatar of evil, a prophetic male Gerudo of flesh that steals power and becomes the evil God he was destined to become. He never is killed, only sealed or banished or sent to another dimension or something similar - he will always come back in a couple generations.
If anything is a symbol for capital, it's the triforce - which is godly omnipotence objectified and commodified into a physical item. The kingdom and society of Hyrule is peculiar and distorted because it's entire purpose is to lock away, protect and hide this object and keep it out of the hands of demons. Its more of a curse than a blessing because it doesn't really seem to do anything to help anyone but if seized by the Demons it unleashes tons of destruction.
T H E P R O P H E C Y is about an inescapable recurring boom/bust cycle and it elevates the special chosen ones in the privileged class :capitalist-laugh:
the triforce can be used to bring good to the world, at the end of a link to the past it's used to reverse all the damage done by Ganon. However, hylians and other races usually fight for it when it isn't sealed away.
Yeah it can undo the damage the demons wrought with it. So best case scenario it undos some of its own damage. Wow awesome I love the triforce!
It can be used for basically anything, but most people with the power or influence to get it without violence can already do what they wanted to do with it. Like, Zelda has access in some games but she's already doing what she needs to do and is a princess, when the gorons are in trouble they either deal with it or someone fixes it so they don't need it, and so on. People outside these benevolent positions fight for it, which led to the shadow temple being full of bodies from civil war, and the triforce being sealed in the sacred realm and needing the ocarina of time and mastersword to be accessed. In skyward sword it was used to destroy demise, but then ghirahim timetraveled and Demise set his curse. So yeah basically it's only used for good reactively, as most positive things can be achieved in other ways and it's actively used for evil. On the brightside, the triforce of power is the only one that does anything useful, by magnifying your strength. And that's only sometimes.
Ganondorf is just a bomber airship spewing black smoke
