Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)

, also known as the Tower of Ganon, and Ganon's Dark Tower, is the final ALttP: in.

Themes and Navigation
ALttP: is located in the ALttP:. The seal on it can be only broken by the descendants of the NaN Sages, and as such, ALttP: must free the NaN Maidens to break the barrier and reveal the staircase leading to the inside of the tower.

ALttP: consists of a large basement where the ALttP:, ALttP: and ALttP: are located; however, all of these items are optional and are not required to complete the ALttP:. ALttP: will, however, have to negotiate this floor in order to reach the sub-basement where the ALttP: is located. In order to obtain the ALttP: and thus the ALttP:, ALttP: must fight the NaN Armos Knights from ALttP:. Above the ground floor are four floors leading to a balcony where ALttP: waits. Each of the floors are infested with enemies that will try to impede ALttP:'s progress, but the young hero is not required to defeat most of the enemies to scale up the tower. He is, however, required to fight the other two ALttP: NaN Bosss again as he ascends, making it necessary to fight all three ALttP: NaN Bosss to complete the ALttP:. Most rooms are also filled with deadly obstacles like spikes and conveyor belts, and even the former NaN Bosss appearing as ALttP: have hazards added to their rooms. Once ALttP: reaches the balcony, he must fight ALttP: yet again where, upon the wizard's defeat, ALttP: abandons ALttP:'s body and escapes to the inside of the ALttP:.

(Ishinomori)
Ganon's Tower is also featured in the. After Zelda is rescued from ALttP:, she asks for the Maiden's help to allow Link, Roam, and her to enter the pitch-dark tower. Inside, The group is attacked by illusions of Link's past foes, and when Roam attacks a specter of Agahnim that was dangerously approaching Zelda, he is killed, with Ganon afterwards rising from the defeated illusion.

Link attacks Ganon but he is easily thrown back by Ganon's Trident. With Ganon distracted fighting Link, Zelda takes up Roam's Crossbow as Link is trapped in between the trident. While Ganon mocks Zelda, Link uses the opportunity to slash the evil thief's trident in half and, as he is falling down, the young hero slashes over Ganon's chest, leaving him paralyzed. Zelda begins to ask for the aid of the maidens and fires an ordinary arrow from the crossbow, but as it approaches Ganon, the power of the maidens, Zelda, Link, and Roam, turn the arrow into the Silver Arrow, destroying Ganon. The Triforce rises from his body, and the Essence of the Triforce tells Link that the Triforce is waiting for a new master now that Ganon has been defeated, asking that the young hero touch it with a wish in his heart. As Link touches the Triforce, Epheremelda sadly bids him goodbye, and Link and Zelda are transported back to Hyrule.
