Why did Ganondorf betray the Gerudo?

Ganondorf betrayed the Gerudo not out of malice for his own people, but because his overwhelming ambition, greed, and hatred for Hyrule's Hylian rulers consumed him, leading him to pursue the Triforce and conquer Hyrule, actions that ultimately endangered and punished the Gerudo themselves. He used his leadership to gain power, lying to his people about helping them while serving his own goals, which caused a schism, leading many Gerudo to disavow him and join forces with Hyrule.

Why did Ganondorf turn evil?

Ganondorf becomes evil due to a mix of inherent demonic influence (reincarnation of Demise's hatred), deep-seated envy and resentment towards Hyrule's fertile lands compared to the harsh Gerudo Desert, and a lust for ultimate power from the Triforce, believing he is destined to rule and reshape the world in his image, a path he chooses through cruelty and ambition. While some interpretations suggest he was born a normal Gerudo man corrupted by power and circumstance, others see him as the embodiment of pure evil, driven by a desire to conquer and crush opposition.

Why is Ganondorf the only male Gerudo?

Ganondorf is the only male Gerudo seen because, by their lore, only one male is born every 100 years, and he's destined to be king, but his existence (or the curse tied to him) seems to prevent other males from being born or recognized, meaning most of the time, there just isn't another male around to meet. Theories suggest this rare male birth might be a consequence of a pact or curse, perhaps linked to Demise's hatred, making Ganondorf the recurring villain and preventing other men from emerging or surviving, effectively making him the only significant male Gerudo in the timeline.
