i think its more that he would like for that to happen. these events would allow his ego to stay so inflated that he never need fear dislodging his own head from his ass. he could just stalk the game for threads mentioning the things he said happened and rest assured of ganons significant lasting effect on the world.

masas not a bad writer and he can craft some interesting plots, but he fails to realize his characters arent the be all end all of irreplaceable importance. especially here where shardbearers have been coming and going in npc natives lives for thousands of years. sudden political chaos because of a dude vanishing from a castle seems questionable.
