Potential name origin
Something occurred to me: In Star Fox, Andross's name was originally transliterated (and likely intended to be) "Andolf," but it was changed since that's clearly a play on "Adolf." Anyways, I was thinking perhaps similarly, Ganondorf's name was intended to be "Ganondolf," a possible corruption of "Gandalf." Being a sorcerer, this makes some amount of sense, though it is marred by Gandalf being an unambiguously good character in his own franchise. Either way, it makes more sense than appending the German word/suffix for "village." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk)
