Halley’s Comet (character)



Halley’s Comet is the secondary antagonist from the titular movie Halley’s Comet. It sustains Ganondorf’s spirit and nearly ended Hyrule.

history/origin
Halley’s Comet was founded by Edmond Halley in Our Universe. Since each universe’s time zone was different, Our Universe was in 1758 and the Zelda Universe was in 1440s. Ganondorf somehow managed to enter Our Universe and steal it. He relied on the comet to sustain his spirit and took it to the Zelda Universe.

It was kept deep in the corners of Hyrule until Ganon manifested enough to fight Link and Midna. He sent the comet off from the borders of the universe and it hit Hyrule during Link and Midna’s excursion across the land. It caused a massive explosion and sent a shockwave across the world. Midna was doubtful that Ganondorf was defeated though as Link fought him in which she sacrifices herself by throwing herself into the explosion. Link managed to reverse the comet’s effects on Hyrule and destroyed it in a heated eruption, purging Ganon’s spirit and diminishing the comet.

trivia
It’s implied that Ganon refers to Hell as Halley’s Comet because when the comet explodes, Ganondorf dies instantly.
 * The Director had the time zones different each universe because the Zelda franchise took place in 1400s and the comet was discovered in 1758.
 * Halley’s Comet is a real-life comet that is set to pass by Earth in 2061.
