About
The runaway Gerudo prince, both terrified of and influenced by the power of the Triforce. He spends his days traveling under cover, often dressed in typical Hylian garb he stole from his dad and altered to fit. Nobody yet knows if he intends to bringe malice and destruction, and he's dodged with ease every attempt at being hunted down by the Gerudo, Sheikah, and Hylian guards. Zain is incredibly skilled, mastering the arts of fire and electric magic, and primarily fights with two electric-loaded blades he crafted himself while growing up.
Zain doesn't know, exactly, what he's intending to do. He just knows he desperately wants to end the cycle of the Triforce for good.
Overall, Zain is a fairly intimidating man. He gets angry and aggressive often, euphoric for every deed he does that brings about chaos and strengthens his will. Underneath it all, and even more so at one point in his life, he is quite caring of his friends and family. He wants those he loves to be safe, and doesn't want to be evil, always actively fighting against the Triforce itself. Quiet, domestic moments with him are rare. He's often fighting the will of the Triforce, but it doesn't always work.

Summary
(work in progress) Zain, also known as Ganondorf, is one of two twins born to the Gerudo chief and an former, close guard of the Hylian queen. He is the younger of the two, but far more outgoing and energetic than his brother Tivar. Growing up, he liked to go outside and spar with the young guard trainees and play with the sand seals at any available opportunity. He rarely paid his studies any mind. This allowed him to become skilled in nearly every weapon available to him, but at the expense of learning to use magic. As a gift, his parents helped him craft two lightning-infused daggers.
Very recently, Zain's Triforce awoke. He was overwhelmed with memories of times long past and in a fit of sudden extreme power, a large chunk of the palace crumbled. Zain made a run for it in the chaos, trying to get as far away from town as he could. He cut his hair, settled on changing his name to Zain for good, swapped his Gerudo clothing for something more Hylian, and made his way to the canyon entrance into Hyrule. His goal was to find Zelda, then find Link, and figure out a way to break the cycle of the Triforce forever.
Along the way he meets a mercinary Zora archer named Pyrus, a young Rito named Caldi that they saved from a Lynel, and a misplaced Twili trying to find her way back home.
Design
• Zain does not wear a shirt if he can help it and does only in rare instances or in modern AUs.
• Gold wrist-piece was made by himself to cover the triforce mark.
• Earrings are not specific and you can just draw what you want.
• Zain enjoys wearing teal make up and experimenting with his hair when it's longer so feel free to draw whatever.
• Dark eyes + gold pupils = awakened triforce. Regular blue eyes is prior to this.
Trivia
• Zain is about 7 foot 2.
• Zain was originally created around 2009-2010 and brought back after I played BOTW.
• Initially, Zain had taken after WW Ganondorf.
Links
Tivar
Zain's older twin brother and best friend. They tend to argue and bicker a lot, their viewpoints and ideas for the town starkly different, but they'd basically die for each other. Zain would do anything for Tivar. Tivar is one of the few people in the entire world who can get away with calling him Ganondorf.
Zelda
Very close childhood friends. It's well known that Zain has had a crush on her for a few years, though they both agreed long before then that they would stay friends and figure out the crazy Triforce stuff together. Before Zain went awol, the two of them made frequent plans to visit each other. Zain often provides Zelda with materials for magic casting while Zelda provides books and information.
Pyrus
Zain's boyfriend. The two of them met on Zain's way out of the Gerudo Desert, in which they bumped into each other at a small river. Pyrus, a fan of Gerudo fight tactics, began following him around, and eventually the two of them got used to each other enough to work things out. With Pyrus being a mercenary and one of the most skilled archers this side of Hebra, the two of them make a horrifying and powerful duo that has dodged the capture efforts of even the Sheikah.
Link
Zain doesn't know what he needs Link for, but he's on the warpath to find him and by GODDESSES he will.
