when Link destroyed the stone on Ganondorf's draconic forehead, I was like, "that's for Sonia ya bastard!".

1:34: The Game & Watch dragon looks like a hybrid of Charizard and Ridley.

The TotK final battle made me think.
At what point are sentient beings responsible for their actions and at what point aren't they? Ganondorf as a Gerudo is certainly so, given he was of sound mind and body, from what we know. He had the wherewithal to understand the world around him and act accordingly. The malice he built up was all his own.
However, we know that through draconification, they essentially lose what made themselves an individual being, or their memories, mind, self, etc. They are basically a biological robot set on the same singular purpose for eternity. Zelda and Ganondorf both preprogrammed themselves with their purposes right before transforming (to heal the Master Sword and protect anyone she can, and to destroy Link and the world, respectively). We aren't totally sure on the other three dragons that I've seen, though they are guardians of their springs, so that's likely their directive.
It's just interesting, because they're basically riding on that programming as a dragon, without the ability to make informed decisions of any kind at that point. The only decisions they seem to make stem from whatever their directive is. So...given that, and their seeming inability to interpret the world around them in any meaningful way (that's an assumption, not proven from what I've seen), are they truly responsible for their actions at that point? Ganondorf as a Gerudo surely is, for both the damage he did before he became a dragon, and the conditioning of himself as he went through draconification, but what about after? What if someone wanted to change? Do we know that they'd always stay the same crappy entity if given the chance to do better, throughout an eternity?
It's just such a simple bit of interaction that makes you wonder. Then you bring it to the real world and the scope of mental health and psychology versus crime/harm to others. Where is the line for where it is entirely one's own fault and when is their reality twisted enough to where they can't be expected to think through their daily lives on their own anymore? Where does the blame lie, and when? It's such a complex topic haha, admittedly a bit more simplified in LoZ, but still fascinating to me.
If anyone actually read this, thank you. 😂 I hope there are others out there that wonder about weird stuff like this, too.

I had a WAY harder time fighting the new Gleok than with any one of these other dragons. Anyone else feel this way?
@jacktheomnithere2127 3 years ago
favourite dragon in the Zelda series? Argorok.
which dragon should make a comeback in the next game? Aquamentus.
Gleeok came back, and it's one hell of a battle from what i saw. Aquamentus needs that overhaul, as a mini boss; it's the least they can do for him - and he better breathe fire like the Fire-Breath Lizalfos.
(and it'd bring the dragon type count to 3)

Against Naydra it wasn't a battle, it was more about freeing him from those damn eyes that were making him suffer.

Imagine if the new gleeok still did that floating decapitated head thing.
@joshuamorrison3536 3 years ago
Be funny if during the demin dragon fight you could get parts from him like demon horn or demon shard they could be more powerful than the regular dragon parts but cause you to take gloom damage would be neat

Everybody watching this video knows how the Gleeok's description in Phantom Hourglass said that it was a two headed dragon, right? If it's a two headed dragon, how is it that one head stays behind while the other one goes in for a bite attack without the other one moving?

Best drago fight in the Legend of Zelda series? I like Corrupted Naydra (Botw), Gleeok (TOTK mini boss), and the Demon Dragon (TOTK, final boss)

Gotta admit the dragon in twilight princess was so freakin hard for no reason the first time. Not to mention the temple….great fight tho! And design

RIP Aquamentus. Unlike its four headed cousin, it didn't appeared in ToTK
