As you can see above, a new artwork of Ganondorf from the game has surfaced. I don't know where exactly, everyone's just posting it without giving a source, so I will do just the same... It matters not much, but what matters is the difference to the previous artwork.
There Ganondorf had a red tear on his crown, now it's grey green one. And this could mean a number of things, of course, where we can only speculate. In the trailer we saw a surge of energy coming from the tear on his forehead:
Maybe he used this tear up, so to say, in order to create the big Blood Moon and probably also the "Upheaval". But do already have an idea what these tears are for in the game, where they seemingly will give you additional abilities. For example, Zelda's tear is what gives you "Recall", and Link puts it into his new bracelet to use the ability. Presumably each tear will give him a different skill in the end.
But what if Ganondorf can use the tears in the same way? He puts them into his crown to harvest their power and do evil stuff with it. We can also see other characters wearing the tears as jewelry, like an earring for Riju.
The tears could be a bit like the Emblem Rings in Fire Emblem Engage, where different characters can use them for evil or good. And if that's the case, you will probably have to fight Ganondorf throughout the game in order to get any missing tears back.
Well, I'm just running wild with theories here, but it should be very clear that the titular "Tears of the Kingdom" will be a central aspect of the conflict and also more functional than your typical rewards for clearing a dungeon / freeing a sage.
