**please ignore any typos or grammar this is early production stuff****

So this was also a beast of a scene...

The first clip is just early posing before I commit to animating it. Lots of small changes we made.

Generally, the rest of the clips are just some different build-ups we had up to Link's ultimate revelation. we felt they were standing too much:

Ganon being too nice

Link being weak

Ganon smashing Link's face and showing Link's face we felt was overkill and had a bad look, so we went with a more hidden approach for the final.

Removed visuals of demise cause they come off as goofy and have no impact.

We had this mini-story beat at the end where Ganon slows Demise down as he's about to curse the Sprout but we felt that was corny and just never sat right with me

We wanted a more Windwaker Ganon but didn't want to make him too soft and cringe at the same time we didn't want to make him too evil so people wouldn't believe him. So early on we had Ganon attack link instead of Link being the only one attacking him (after Ganon realizes who it is)
