Link is destined to be with Ganon and no one can change my head canon

Every man must slay his own demons. What if Ganon is just a stand in for Link's latent homosexuality and the whole story is him finally accepting himself for who he is rather than fight it.

Link's Awakening.

Makes more sense this way

Ironically one of the games without Ganon. Although iirc the nightmare does take the form of Ganon at one point? So maybe

Counterpoint: "A Tale of Two Rulers" by FigmentForms, a webcomic in which Zelda marries Ganon.

What is the tri-force if not a metaphor for their thruple?

A physical representation of the three goddesses' magical power of creation in Hyrule.

The only thing Ganon deserves is a sword through the head, stop shipping dictators, if you really must that's what Furry Hitler is for.

In an alternative universe where Nintendo wants to be seen as progressive, they make Link blatantly gay, have him give up Zelda at the steps, and he powerbottom rules Hyrule with Ganondorf with absolute power, compassion, and a heart of gold; ushering in a new feudalist empire that reaches for the stars.

That would be fucking awesome. Alas.
