It doesn`t say it.If The villian`s motivation is explained only by "Well, he`s just evil" or "He wants power/money, that`s why he does it" he is not a very interesting villian. Nobody says that desiring more power or money is bad.

Whitmore then mentions that while he was being attacked, he saw the alien's thoughts; what its species was planning to do. They are like locusts; their entire species travel from planet to planet, destroying all life and harvesting the natural resources.

>Shit tier villian

Literally every other race in Hyrule has a fuck-awesome place to live and he and his people are dying in a desert. When he does get power shit gets wrecked because his motivation was pure resentment and he just wanted to fuck shit up, not help his people. This is basically the psychology of most criminals. But go on thinking one of the most realistic fantasy villians ever is shit tier.

Well that is the problem with most /v/ villains. Usually the plot is "save the world from being blowed up by X bad" which is a stupid fucking motivation for a villain anyway, at least any rational actor villain. Only an absolute madman would blow up the world.

This makes Kefka the most believable /v/ villain, as he is certified insane and has no qualms depleting the world of most life in order to rule it as a god-king.

Ganon doesn't want to blow up the world though, he wants to have power over it so he can make it a miserable place out of spite. That's what he does/tries to do in every game he's in. It's like if you're not invited to a party and everyone else is, you are going to want to fuck up that party right? That's Ganons motivation and it is more believable than the mega IQ master plan guy from Watchmen or an insane genius like The Joker.

No it isnt. Any villain with a motivation that pointless would more likely be too lazy or stupid to actually get enough power to do anything about it. Someone witha master plan and an actual purpose beyond the plan's execution is way more likely to actually follow through

>Any villain with a motivation that pointless would more likely be too lazy or stupid to actually get enough power to do anything about it

Ganon was given power from birth in his society so that isn't an issue. Also, wanting to fuck shit up because you are angry might be pointles but that doesn't stop people from doing it all the time IRL. On the other hand, how many genius manipulators on the level of The Joker do you see in the real world?

>Someone witha master plan and an actual purpose beyond the plan's execution is way more likely to actually follow through

That's the thing though, Ganondorf lucked out/was opportunistic. All he did was feign loyalty to Hyrule and then wait until Link opened the door of time. A power-hungry thug seizing the moment is far more believable than the nerd fantasy ubermensch bullshit you see in comics and Hannibal Lecter types.
