There's no mention in BoT of any flood, nor of the Heroes of Time ever failing to Ganon (no tragedy of zelda). | |

I believe the WW Ganon has a different backstory (as in, he apparently starts out good, then is corrupted or something to that effect), so he's a reincarnation. | |

He's also completely changed his bodily form/identity several times. Whether he is still around by reincarnation or resurrection, he's still far more than just human. But, good point still. :) | |
| May 3, 2012 at 0:52 | comment | added | Izkata | Most of the Links are reincarnations, same as the Zeldas. Some games have continuity with the same Links/Zeldas from other games (both Oracle games and Link's Awakening are one set, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask is another common example). It's the Ganons/Ganondorfs that are all the same guy, because he keeps getting resurrected, not reincarnated. | |
