Am I the only one who sees a juxtaposition between Asgore and Ganon? And it goes beyond the fact that he's a beastly endboss with a trident. Much of my theories come from Link to the Past, specifically.

Like Ganon, the only way he will be able to fulfill his wishes is to defeat his adversary, which is the player character. For Asgore, he has to kill Frisk to get the final soul and shatter the barrier, while Ganon wants to kill Link so that nothing stands in the way of his claiming the Triforce for himself. Other parallels include the number Seven (The Six claimed souls and the Frisk's seventh, Six imprisoned maidens and Princess Zelda), and the breaking out of one world to enter the other (Asgore trying to get to the human world and Ganon to Hyrule from the Sacred Realm).

The thing however I appreciate the most is the contrast. While we all know Ganon is obsessed with trying to do it, Asgore is fearful and reluctant, because he doesn't want to actually hurt the human, but is forced to try and save his kingdom, and avenge the death of his children.

Now as of this writing, I have only completed the Neutral and True Pacifist endings-that being said I really loved the way Asgore was written, and how this all came about even if its just a coincidence!
