Hey guy's and Welcome to Charnock Industries. It's another Nintendo Villain OC ship fanfiction but for short it's NVOSF, it's a word now. Anyway, you know Legend of Zelda? I'm gonna pick Ganondof, and why not he's tall, dark, and handsome. Anyway it'll take place in Gerudo Village from Ocarina Of Time and I'll use the Ganondorf from Hyrule Warrior's. it's not going to be easy for me, but it won't hurt to try.
