For some fans, the theme of age in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom has been somewhat confusing, as they are the oldest when they begin their responsibilities as princess and knight. Are. But after being absent from the screen, it was not so clear how much time passed between games.
It is mentioned in the game that both Link and Zelda are 17 years old, and they both remain in a suspended state for 100 years, but that time doesn’t really count, because they don’t grow up, they stay the same. And what’s really taken into account are the days when Cataclysm was defeated in the Breath of the Wild finale.
Now, with an NPC from Tears of the Kingdom, the current age of the protagonist can already be inferred, as a hint is given that seven years have passed since the events. So if calculated, these characters would be 24 years old, making them the oldest in the franchise due to them being older.
For his part, it is unknown whether this Ganondorf comes from an era in the past in which he saw the events of Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, though it could very well be a reincarnation of himself. However, it seems it may also be the first known subject of this name, a legacy that will live on forever.
