Who is the pig in Zelda?

The pig in The Legend of Zelda series is primarily Ganon (or Ganondorf) in his monstrous, boar-like beast form, a powerful demon lord who serves as the main antagonist and is often associated with greed and raw power, transforming from his human form when he wields the Triforce. However, there are also ordinary pigs (sometimes called "Wild Pigs") that appear as enemies or cute farm animals (like Link the Pig) in games like The Wind Waker, and a minion named Harlequin in The Face of Evil.

Why does Ganon become 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.

Do pigs engage in homosexuality?

Pigs exhibit same-sex mounting, especially young males (boars) who mount penmates before puberty, showing flexible sexual behavior (bipotentiality) that can include interest in mature boars, but this is often linked to dominance, social bonding, or hormonal factors rather than exclusive sexual orientation like in humans, as animals operate outside human concepts of "gay" or "straight". Male pigs may mount each other and females, and females might mount other females, often for social status or in response to hormones, but it doesn't equate to a fixed homosexual orientation.
