His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He and his minions seized the island of Koridai, leaving Link to save the island before it's too late.
- He had his minions turn several people turned into ravenous monsters.
- He kidnaps Zelda and holds her captive in his lair.
- In Faces of Evil, he lets one of his minions, Glutko, eat innocent Koridians.
- He kidnapped King Harkanian, Link and several other people.
- He tricked Lord Orduk into giving away all of Gamelon to him.
- He froze Fairy Mountain, which is the life force of the forest fairies, causing tons of people to freeze to death until Zelda thaws the mountain out.
- He then had the Three Witches attempt to cover the entire forest in darkness.
- He kidnapped the reincarnation of Link and then began exerting his influence over the lands of Hyrule and Tolemac.
- Although he's considered to be quite comedic, it's only unintentional as most of the comedy comes from the game's stilted animation and awkward voice acting. In-universe, he's played completely straight and is taken seriously as threat. Also, this is absent in Zelda's Adventure, in which he transforms into a beast and becomes much more evil.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He suffers from Offscreen Villainy as not much of the chaos he and his minions cause are shown, with only one fairy being frozen, three people being turned into monsters, and Glutko only eating 2 people at most.
