Every villain proves they're evil in many different ways: Bowser relentlessly invades the Mushroom Kingdom time after time without learning his lesson; In Ocarina of Time, Ganondorf inflicted terrible suffering on Hyrule in the 7 years he ruled; Ridley was directly responsible for the murder of Samus' parents.

Nintendo has a knack for making really good villains.
