Can Ganon be defeated permanently?

No, Ganon (or Ganondorf) cannot be permanently defeated in most Legend of Zelda games due to the series' cyclical nature, Demise's curse, and the mechanics of games like Breath of the Wild, but some timelines suggest permanent endings are possible by addressing his power source (the Triforce) and spirit, like in Wind Waker. In-game, defeating him usually just resets the save to before the final battle, leaving the quest unfinished but adding post-game features.

Is a lynel harder than Ganon?

Yes, for most players in Breath of the Wild, Lynels are significantly harder than Ganon, especially early in the game, because they are aggressive, fast, deal massive damage, and require precise combat skills (parrying, flurry rushes) that Ganon doesn't demand as much, though a fully prepared Calamity Ganon with all Blights is a tougher final challenge than a single Lynel. Ganon's difficulty scales with Divine Beasts, making him easier if you've freed them, while Lynels remain consistently tough mini-bosses, with Silver Lynels being the hardest enemies in the game.

Why does Ganondorf turn into a pig?

Ganon is a pig (or boar) because it's his true, beastly form, reflecting his greed and lust for power, a transformation triggered by claiming the Triforce in A Link to the Past, while creators also drew inspiration from a childhood fear of a boar and the symbolism of pigs as unclean or gluttonous in some cultures, linking the monstrous pig to raw, destructive power.

Why are the Yiga obsessed with bananas?

The Yiga Clan loves bananas because it's a deeply ingrained tradition from their ancient Sheikah ancestors, who relied on Mighty Bananas as a vital, calorie-rich food source during times of hardship, with real-world inspiration likely coming from Japan's Iga region where bananas were introduced and became culturally significant. This love for bananas became a defining cultural trait, evolving into a humorous obsession and a key gameplay element (a distraction tool) for the clan.

How did Zelda not age in BOTW?

Zelda didn't age in Breath of the Wild because she used her sacred sealing power to trap herself and Calamity Ganon in a timeless state within Hyrule Castle for 100 years, effectively putting her in a form of magical stasis or suspended animation that halted her aging, much like Link's slumber in the Shrine of Resurrection. This divine magic preserved her at the age she was when the Calamity struck.
