Haha, I'm no reactionary either; though I do have a slight soft spot for (constitutional) monarchies, the reason I'm skeptical of Big G and his actions here are more having to do with hte fact I draw a clear line between what people say, and what they do - and perhaps a third line, how I perceive them. Putting it like this; let's say there are two factions. The old, corrupt faction that keeps the money flowing, and the new corrupt faction that wants to cut all the resources you need and divert them to yourself. Either way, you try to do your job to the fullest; but you know no matter which face gets control, your work as an administrator is going to be rough no matter what - and you have to keep going, also regardless of that.

The reason I'm skeptical of his coup is because the nature of the Kingdom was feudal and fractal in the beginning; clearly it would be better to let the monarchy die off entirely, and create a strong system amongst the Gerudo, right?.. I can't believe we're talking about this as is, but imagine a prosperous Gerudo, or possibly desert/mountain/cave coalition? It would not be unthinkable that the plains people would have their own state 'wither away' if the idea became a reality. I guess Ganon here is doomed by a recreation of his actions in game, heh.

And now I'll posit the idea of Ganondorf-as-Napoleon that I would read in a heartbeat. Maybe he could even be successful? Cripes, I'm pretty much suggesting fanfiction at this point; we better stop the train before it gets too crazy, wahahahah!

More seriously, getting back to the story - my gripes were personal, and not to do with your writing at all; I was glad to add my two cents, and hopefully did so in a helpful and amusing manner. I notice that elsewhere you attempted to guide the hand of a critic that spoke with more cruelty then desire to help others; I appreciate that kind of work, even if they didn't. Hopefully, my own feedback seems constructive and in good spirits, and not too nitpicky. : ) I think most people won't get it until the end, but it won't necessarily be a bad thing for those that do; sometimes a sense of doom only makes a story stronger, and in this case I think that goes double. It was my pleasure to read!
