1''Ganny the Daddy'' is a WhatIf ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' fancomic made by Tropers/NeoYi.
2
3In a future time, the current incarnation of Ganondorf successfully killed the Link he was pitted against...and ruled Hyrule as a ''good king.'' Decades passed without incident, and it seemed the cycle had been broken.
4But then his daughter, the princess, is named Zelda. And she later befriends a [[GenderFlip girl]] named Link, and Demise is returning to power.
5The three of these incarnations find their own stories and struggles intertwining; Link is fearful of living up to the legacy expected of her and doesn't fully understand just what the goddesses need her to ''do;'' Zelda is trying to be a princess capable of leading her people and tries to uncover just what is going on in Hyrule; and Ganandorf tries not to listen to that nasty voice telling him to murder his daughter and her friend.

7Unfortunately, it is now a DeadFic, though the author has said she plans on making a journal post talking about how the comic would have gone/ended.

11----
12!!This comic provides examples of:
13
14* ActionGirl: Link, natch. Zelda gets some too, but off-screen.
15* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: After an intense afternoon of [[spoiler: fighting an extension of Demise, rescuing Zelda, and getting a vision of one of the past Links]], Link sits on the roof to contemplate her next move and watch the sunset. Zelda joins her a moment later for a heart-to-heart.
16* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: When Zelda first goes to school, none of the other kids (save for Link) want anything to do with her. As we see after a time-skip, this apparently never changes.
17* AllThereInTheManual: The artist's comments, both in the descriptions and answering reader comments, provide some more insight on the world; like what exactly kind of technology there is, the names/backstories of Link's parents, etc.
18** This also extends to [[http://neoyi.deviantart.com/art/Zelda-Female-Link-149629448 some]] [[http://neoyi.tumblr.com/post/83111190614/hastily-scanned-rough-sketches-of-a-legend-of sketch-pages.]]
19* AlternateUniverse: Ganondorf is a good guy, Zelda is his daughter, and Link is a girl. And that's just the beginning.
20* AnachronismStew: Radios, blimps, old-fashioned telephones, and even a ''DJ booth'' are all alongside oil lamps, torches, and swords. However, they're blended together quite well, and the fact that the time period is set further in the future than the canon games helps with that.
21* AuthorAppeal: Top hats and steampunk-ish technology.
22%%* CatapultNightmare:
23%%* DeathByChildbirth: How Zelda's mom dies.
24* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Zelda's friend Komali is subjected to this, courtesy of Demise. Even after he's freed initially, he has nightmares about it for years, and it turns out Demise ''still'' won't leave him alone...not until he dies, anyway.]]
25* DismantledMacGuffin: [[spoiler: The Master Sword becomes this.]]
26* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Ganondorf seems to dream about this, as a nightmare of his features Link attacking him with the Master Sword.
27%%* EnemyWithin: Demise kinda flipflops between this and EnemyWithout.
28%%* FetchQuest: Mentioned by name.
29%%-->'''Link:''' ''You're sending me on a FETCH QUEST?''
30* GenderFlip: Part of the premise is that this time, The Hero has been reborn as a girl.
31* GoodHurtsEvil: While he ''himself'' isn't evil, Ganondorf cannot touch the Master Sword without burning his hands.
32* HearingVoices: Ganondorf suffered this from the day his daughter was born.
33* HeroKiller: Ganondorf. Hey, in the comic's backstory he ''did'' kill one of the Links.
34* IJustWantToBeNormal: Link shows shades of this after learning of her destiny, and that she's The Hero. She doesn't know what it is she's supposed to be doing, if she can handle it, she's scared, and oh yes, she's only ''eleven'' when she learns of this.
35* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Link swears Linebeck is this. [[MamaBear Her mother]] is ''not'' convinced.
36* LoveTriangle: Subverted. Ganondorf does find 21-year-old Link attractive, Linebeck has an obvious thing for her, Link is clueless to both...but WordOfGod promised that no, there would not ''actually'' be a LoveTriangle plot. Partly because Ganondorf still remembers Link as his daughter's best friend.
37* MamaBear: Link's mother has no problem telling a ''pirate'' to keep away from her daughter.
38* MoodWhiplash: Sometimes you can expect to see a dramatic or heartfelt moment followed by comedy immediately after; one example being 21-year-old Link tearfully reuniting with her family, only for Ganondorf to grin and ask how her quest went two panels later.
39-->'''Zelda:''' ''[[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents "Dad!"]]''
40* PapaWolf: Ganondorf. Do ''not'' kidnap his daughter if you know what's good for you. You probably shouldn't be a friend who's a boy, either.
41%%* PluckyGirl: Link.
42%%* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Komali.]]
43* SadisticChoice: Demise offers one to Ganondorf: [[spoiler: kill the 16-year-old he's possessing so the boy can't spread the truth about Ganondorf's origin, or spare him and risk losing everything he fought for. He ends up taking the first option.]]
44* SheCleansUpNicely: One of the [[AllThereInTheManual artist's sketch pages]] suggests this would happen; it's backed up by the last page of the comic mentioning a celebratory ball for Link's return, with Zelda insisting she wear a dress.
45* SheIsAllGrownUp: Ganondorf has this reaction to seeing the 21-year-old Link kick ass.
46* ShoutOut: Several to other Creator/{{Nintendo}} games. Perhaps one of the best is Zelda's pet, a [[Franchise/{{Mario}} Chain Chomp]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening named Bowwow]].
47* SkyPirates: A group of them shows up so post!time-skip Link can show off her stuff. Linebeck doesn't like the idea of them in on principle.
48-->'''Linebeck:''' ''"They are the tackiest, stealing our shtick with their... sky... ness. Seriously, more like 'sky-fakers,' am I right, Link?"''
49* TearsOfRemorse: Ganondorf can be seen shedding these [[spoiler: just before killing Komali.]]
50* UglyGuysHotDaughter: While Gaondorf isn't ''certainly isn't ugly'' in this comic, his daughter doesn't share ''any'' of his Gerudo features.
51* VisionsOfAnotherSelf: Link receives visions of the past Links - one appears after she uses the Master Sword the first time, she mentions meeting two more after getting two of the PlotCoupon.
