ganondorf and tirek have similiar personalities- like wanting to have power over a kingdom- tirek tries to steal the ponies magic and ganondorf tries to get the triforce! isn't that a bit of a coincedence? and i do see a bit of the zelda reference when tirek went on a search for twilight sparkle in the season 4 finale- much like how ganondorf tried to find zelda in wind waker and some other zelda games.
