Yuga Ganon is the joint form of Ganon and Yuga that resulted seconds after the latter resurrected Ganon. The beast takes on the combined appearances and abilities of the two and serves as the primary antagonist and final boss of.

Biography
In Lorule, Yuga uses the descendants of the Seven Sages along with Princess Zelda to resurrect the Demon King and holder of the Triforce of Power, Ganon, who Yuga claims will help him attain true beauty. After releasing Ganon from his seal in darkness, Yuga proceeds to fuse with Ganon's form and the Triforce of Power,, transforming into a being that takes on the physical attributes of both Yuga and Ganon. Now possessing the Triforce of Power, Yuga Ganon attacks Link, but his attack is restrained by the magic of a mysterious princess named Hilda, who informs Link that she can only hold Yuga Ganon at bay for so long and welcomes the young hero to her kingdom, Lorule. She informs the young hero that she knew of Yuga's plot to abduct Hyrule's Sages and Zelda, but had failed to stop him, allowing Yuga to use them to siphon Ganon's power in order to gain enough power to destroy both Hyrule and Lorule. Hilda asks Link to awaken his full potential in order to defeat Yuga by stealing back the paintings of the Seven Sages, which have been sent to different locations throughout Lorule as a backlash from Yuga's transformation.

After rescuing the Seven Sages and attaining the Triforce of Courage, Impa reveals to Link that Ganon is returning and that he must travel to Lorule Castle to stop the Demon King. After reaching Lorule Castle's top, Link finds Hilda, who tells him the legend of how Lorule fell into its current state. Upon finishing the tale, Hilda steals the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda and summons Yuga Ganon, ordering the beast to steal the Triforce of Courage from Link, but Yuga Ganon is defeated in battle. Princess Hilda, still believing that her court wizard is loyal to her, orders him to give his Triforce of Power to her. However, Yuga Ganon reveals that he has no concern for Lorule's fate, and merely planned to remake Lorule in his own image, using Ganon in his plans. Yuga Ganon promptly turns Hilda into a painting and absorbs her along with the Triforce of Wisdom, transforming into an even stronger beast. Stating that he will soon take his rightful place among the gods, Yuga Ganon engages Link in a final battle for the Triforce of Courage, but he is defeated and finally destroyed, releasing Hilda and the Triforce pieces.

First Phase
In the first phase of the fight, Yuga Ganon attacks in a similar way to how Ganon does in. Yuga Ganon frequently warps around the arena, and does so more often as he takes damage. In the first stages of the fight, Yuga Ganon mainly attacks by thrusting his trident at Link, or slashing the young hero with it, much like a Sword. Both attacks can be avoided by running out of the way fast enough, but extra caution should be taken when attempting to attack Yuga Ganon with the Sword, as it will make Link more vulnerable to Yuga Ganon's slash attack. The safest way of hitting Yuga Ganon without getting hit is to dodge his trident attacks, then quickly attack him from behind to avoid being struck should Yuga Ganon attack soon thereafter. Eventually, Yuga Ganon will start throwing his trident at Link, and occasionally warp out of the arena to launch energy balls from the sky. These energy balls appear immediately above Link, so the young hero must keep running to avoid them all. Eventually, the fight will end, and the second phase will begin.

Hilda casts a ring of dark magic around the room prior to the fight, preventing Wall Merging.

Second phase
In the second phase of the fight, Yuga Ganon transforms Hilda into a painting to absorb her power and that of the Triforce of Wisdom. Yuga Ganon will initiate the fight by throwing a blue ball of energy at Link, which he must reflect back at him in a game of Dead Man's Volley, in which the Bug Net can also be used as in earlier games. After several exhanges between them, Yuga Ganon will be struck by his own magic and get stunned, then merging into the wall as a painting. Princess Zelda, speaking from her painting on the wall, will then give Link the Bow of Light, so he can attack Yuga Ganon while inside the wall. Link must merge into the wall and shoot Yuga Ganon directly with the Bow of Light. The evil beast will block the Arrow and try to stop it in its track, exposing his back. Link must take this chance to merge out of the wall, get behind Yuga Ganon and shoot him in the back, forcing him out of the wall and rendering him vulnerable to his Sword slashes. Yuga Ganon will then warp out of the arena, and cause numerous fireballs to shoot out of the walls. These fireballs will turn into bats, which Link must avoid. This strategy must be repeated twice more during the fight, but with key differences: Yuga Ganon will respond to the second Arrow fired at him by charging violently and rapidly at him. Link must quickly merge out of the wall and back in to shoot him before he ends the charge. The third time around, Yuga Ganon will instantly block any Arrows fired at him, and turns around too fast for Link to quickly merge behind his back. Link must then shoot away from him so the Arrow will fly all the way across the wall and hit Yuga Ganon. This will force him out of the wall one last time and render him vulnerable to the finishing move, which can be dealt with any weapon that inflicts damage.
