Ganon/Other Appearances

This page details all appearances of outside the canon, main series games.

The Legend of Zelda TV Series
In, Ganon's design is loosely based upon his appearance from the first game, making him similar to a humanoid pig in a purple robe; however, when needed, he can raise a hood over his head to disguise himself, which he often does when in the surface. Len Carlson serves as the voice actor for Ganon.

Ganon makes his den in the Underworld and maintains an Evil Jar which allows him to summon his minions to attack at his command. He also keeps the Triforce of Power in his lair, giving him an endless supply of magic to aid him in his attempts to overthrow the kingdom of Hyrule by either capturing Princess Zelda, King Harkinian, Link, or stealing the Triforce of Wisdom from North Castle. However, his plans are often flawed by the ineptitude of his servants or by Link and Zelda, which sometimes results in Ganon being zapped into the Evil Jar instead.

Ganon is capable of teleporting to any location in the Underworld, an ability that he often uses to immediately find Link and Zelda whenever they are traveling around the Underworld. However, since his magic is limited in the Overworld, he is unable to use his powers outside the Underworld, which forces him to rely on his minions to perform tasks for him: as means of transportation while in the surface, Ganon often rides a Lowder or is carried by Stalfos to help him reach his destination.

This version of Ganon is more comical and bumbling than his appearance in the games, and he is seen to be short-tempered and intolerant of his servants' clumsiness. As such, he is often seen treating them harshly, which at one point they grow tired of and overthrow Ganon as their leader, as seen in  "The Moblins are Revolting." Other than using his minions to execute his plans, Ganon is also known to invent various items that will help him achieve his goal of stealing the Triforce of Wisdom, such as a Mirror that creates an evil clone of Zelda, a Wand of Power, and a Capture Staff.

Captain N: The Game Master
Ganon appears in the "Quest for the Potion of Power" episode of the Captain N: The Game Master show. Len Carlson reprises his role as the voice actor for Ganon.

After finding out about a Potion that can revive Ganon, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard find it in the Maze Island Palace and go to Death Mountain to make Ganon drink it. Before the evil wizard takes the potion, he is depicted as a small, innocent and defenseless pig. However, right after he swallows its contents, he transforms into a bigger, stronger and more grotesque-looking pig, slightly resembling his The Legend of Zelda TV series appearance. With Ganon now resurrected, he plans to take over Videoland, much to the dismay of Mother Brain, who Ganon is supposed to be working for. The Evil Wizard, however, exclaims that he works for no one, and sends out a shockwave that knocks Mother Brain on her side. Kevin tries to stop Ganon, but he increases his size and becomes a monster of epic proportions. Ganon then tries to defeat Link and Kevin by sending a fire geam in their direction, but Link's Magical Shield reflects it back to the giant wizard, instantly defeating him.

The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)
In the  published by Valiant Comics, Ganon is usually depicted as a man in a  heavy dark blue hooded cloak with no visible face for several issues,  although later on he would be sometimes portrayed as the familiar pig-faced monster. Since this comic takes place after the events of and, it is told that Ganon led his minions to attack Hyrule and thus allow him to steal the Triforce of Power. Ganon dwells in the Underworld, with his lair being in Death Mountain, just like in the original The Legend of Zelda. Using the might of the Triforce, Ganon strives to destroy Link and Zelda, steal the Triforce of Wisdom, and take over the kingdom of  Hyrule. Ganon goes to great lengths to accomplish his goals, such as manipulating the citizens of the Water Town of Saria into going against Link and Zelda, and disguising himself as Impa to defeat the young hero once and for all. Although his minions follow his every order and are loyal to him, Darknut Prime reveals that they hate their "pig-nosed master even more" than Zelda and Link do.

In The Power, Link manages to steal the Triforce of Power from Ganon and uses it to severely damage the Prince of Darkness with it. Knowing that he is powerless against the might of the Triforce, Ganon barely manages to escape back into the Underworld. However, after Link catches up with him, the young hero traps Ganon inside a cage hanging over a bottomless pit. Ganon then begs Link to let him have the Triforce of Power back so that the two of them can defeat Zelda together, but Link ignores him and says that the Triforce of Power is his forever. Once Link realizes what he has become and decides to throw away the Triforce of Power to keep his soul intact, the cage that was holding  Ganon disappears and sends him tumbling down after the Triforce.

Nintendo Adventure Books
In the Nintendo Adventure Books, Ganon appears again as the main antagonist of both and. However, in these books, Ganon is described as a skeletal figure with "burning, white eyes" and "skull-like mask" for a face. Some of the magic used by Ganon in the book includes shooting fireballs from his hand and firing a bolt of light from his fingertips.

In, Link and Princess Zelda are running inside the Midoro Palace trying to escape from Ganon's grap. However, the evil wizard finds them and eventually encases Link in a Crystal. Ganon explains that since he cannot obtain the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom from Link and Zelda respectively, he used a Magic Scroll which cast a spell to encase both pieces of the Triforce, including the Triforce of Courage encased in Link's heart. Although the evil wizard had planned to kill Princess Zelda, he confesses that he prefers seeing her suffer over Link, and mocks her that she will be unable to obtain all three items necessary to save the young hero before he gets trapped in the crystal forever in 24 hours.

Eventually, however, Princess Zelda finds the three items as dictated by the Fairy's Scroll and frees the young hero. After the duo find the Spear, which is the only weapon that can destroy Ganon, the two are confronted by the evil wizard. Although Ganon tries to fight back, Zelda fires an arrow and pins his robe to a tree trunk, giving Link a chance to hurl the Spear. It pierces through Ganon's hand, injuring him gravely, but warns the young heroes that he will come back before disappearing into nothingness.

In, Ganon disguises himself as a knight from the land of Moria known as Charles, who has come to visit the kingdom of Hyrule to do good deeds and thus become the king of Moria. He meets Link and Zelda when they are about to be killed by a gang of Moblins, but Charles arrives and easily scares them off. Although Princess Zelda is impressed by his bravery after single-handedly defeating a Darknut, Link distrusts the Morian knight from the moment he meets him.

The King of Hyrule is also quick to trust Charles and shows him the Triforce of Wisdom, dubbing him a knight of the Triforce in the process. Later on in the book, the King of Hyrule, fearing the safety of the Triforce of Wisdom, decides to relocate the Triforce to the Fifth Castle of Ancient Hyrule and chooses Charles to do the task instead of Link. The young hero, furious at the king's decision and saying that Charles cannot be trusted, uses the Mirror of Truth to reveal the knight's true identity. However, Charles quickly takes the Triforce of Wisdom and escapes into the woods with it, where Link defeats him by slashing his necklace, the true source of Ganon's power.

(Ishinomori)
In the, Agahnim and Ganon are explicitly shown to be different beings, communicating between worlds in the fifth chapter. In this scene, Ganon, who appears as a mere shadow, warns the wizard that a "being with intense emotional energy", Link, is approaching Hyrule Castle, much to Agahnim's surprise.

Upon Link's arrival to the Dark World, a man transfigured into a tree tells of Ganon's history. Ganondorf is depicted in this tale as a burly, unkempt man transforming into a piglike beast.

Ganon himself does not appear until Link, Princess Zelda, and Roam arrive at Ganon's Tower, where he rises from the defeated body of an Agahnim specter. Link attacks Ganon but he is easily thrown back by Ganon's Trident. 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 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 an Enchanted 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.

(Maru)
In the, Ganon is revived when his alter-ego, the Magician, uses the current Zelda's blood in a ritual after she was killed in battle. However, as Zelda's blood was used in place of Link's, the revival is incomplete. After Ganon commands the Magician to obtain the Triforce, he bursts from the Magician's body. He faces Link outside of the North Castle, and is defeated as he is trapped beneath a boulder.

(Mishouzaki)
In the, the Ganon who was killed in The Legend of Zelda is revealed to have simply been one part of Ganon, and that his true body is sealed away alongside the first Zelda's in the Great Palace. When the first Zelda's phantom appears to Link and the current Zelda, she explains to them that 400 years ago, she fought against Ganon and managed to seal him away using the two pieces of the Triforce.

The part of Ganon who was defeated three years ago in The Legend of Zelda has managed to reconstruct himself, having taken on the form of Link's Shadow. Link eventually encounters and defeats his Shadow, who then heads to the Great Palace and regains his true form as Ganon, with Link's Shadow acting as Ganon's core. However, Link defeats the Demon King.

(Cagiva)
In the, Ganondorf is depicted in the prologue wishing upon the Triforce. He is depicted as a figure veiled entirely by shadow.

(Himekawa)
Both Agahnim and Ganon are shown as separate beings with alternate backstories in the. Sahasrahla tells Link the creation of Hyrule and the story of the Imprisoning War when he meets him at the Eastern Palace, describing Ganondorf as a member of a group of bandits who accidentally found the entrance to the Sacred Realm. It is said that they fought to the death over the Triforce, with only one man left standing, Ganondorf, also known as the evil bandit Ganon. The flashback depicts Ganondorf with a similar appearance to that in Ocarina of Time. Ganon is seen later in the manga speaking to Agahnim in the form of a giant horned silhouette that bears similarity to his demonic form in, appearing from a great flame in Hyrule Castle Tower and asking that he break the seventh lock and "open the glorious door of evil". Link arrives in time to attempt to rescue Princess Zelda from Agahnim, but is frozen on the spot by Agahnim's magic while the seal is broken, and drawn into the Dark World.

Later, once Link and his two companions reach Ganon's Tower, it is revealed that Agahnim made a pact with Ganon to break the seal in exchange for great power. He had originally intended to use this power to help Hyrule, before he was consumed by his obsession over the Triforce. Desperate and defeated, Agahnim appears before Ganon's shadow once more and begs for more power, but Ganon refuses, striking him down on the spot, stating he has no need for a mortal. Ganon finally reveals himself as a gigantic boar-like monster weilding a trident, and immediately attacks Link. Link manages to parry his first blow and strikes at his arm, causing blood to spray on the ground. Ganon's blood is like acid, and melts Agahnim's body to nothing. Weakened slightly, Ganon reaches out towards the Pyramid of Power as his sizzling body reforms, with the words "Give me more... Give me more power!". In shock at this horrific form, Link questions if this is what happens to people who get the Triforce. Zelda states he is a monster of ever growing greed, and they must stop him before he connects light and dark. Despite being injured, Link summons the strength to unleash one final blow on the monster, striking him in the head and stunning him. Ghanti, another descendant of the Knights of Hyrule and the wielder of the Silver Arrow, fires her bow, charged with Zelda's magic, and strikes Ganon. Ganon is finally destroyed, and his vast evil form melts away to nothing, desperately desiring "More... More... I wanted more..." to the very end.

(Himekawa)
Ganondorf's role was overall the same as in the game. However, his first appearance had him eavesdropping on Link and Zelda in the Hyrule Castle Courtyard, as well as, while he apologized for his eavesdropping, it implied that he may have sent the Gerudo after Zelda while the latter was disguised in Hyrule Castle Town. Ganondorf later appeared after Link got the Zora's Sapphire, where he attempted to corner Zelda and Impa at the burning castle while stating that Zelda "will experience eternal sleep with her father" in it, which implied that he had, by that point, murdered her father. He also ended up stealing Link's Fairy Ocarina, under the mistaken impression that it was the Ocarina of Time. Ganondorf did not realize that mistake until seven years had passed, upon which he crushed the ocarina in his hand.

Ganondorf also had Sheik serve him. When Ingo failed to ensure that Epona was supplied to him, Ganondorf initially intended to have him executed for his failure, although he relented after Koume and Kotake instead suggested that they brainwash him. Ganondorf eventually imprisoned Zelda inside a Crystal, and took her to his castle. During the inevitable fight with Link, Ganondorf used a sword with magical powers to overpower him, and sought to finish him off with his ultimate spell. Link was able to use the Spin Attack to deflect the spell back at Ganondorf, which stunned him long enough for Link to cut him down. A wounded Ganondorf then attempted to bring the castle down on Link and Zelda. When that failed, Ganondorf turned into Ganon. Ganon was able to knock the Master Sword out of Link's hand, but Zelda was able to throw it back to the hero. Link promptly cut off Ganon's Tail while declaring that he is Ganon's opponent with determination, brought him down to his knees with a vertical slash, and thrust his sword into the beast's face. Invoking the power of the Sages, Zelda was able to seal Ganondorf away.

(Himekawa)
In the, Ganon appears only in Link's memories of the events of. After his visit to Osun's academy, Link remembers his last battle with Ganondorf in the future and his return to the past.

In, Ganon and his minions had seized control of the island of Koridai. Alongside his minions, Ganon had enslaved many of Koridai's citizens and constructed fortified lairs in their likenesses, eponymously called the "Faces of Evil". Word of their hostile take over eventually reaches Hyrule, and soon Link is dispatched to defeat him. While Link is away fighting his minions, Ganon captures Zelda and holds her captive under the influence of a sleeping spell. Link eventually reaches Ganon in his Lair, inside of Ganon's own Face of Evil on the island. Ganon offers him the choice of an alliance or death, but is defeated and imprisoned within the Book of Koridai. With Ganon imprisoned, Link wakes Zelda and peace is restored to Koridai.

In, Ganon and his minions had invaded the island of Gamelon and imprisoned many of its citizens. An urgent request for help is sent by the island's ruler, Duke Onkled, and reaches King Harkinian, who leaves to fight Ganon himself. However, when both the King and Link go missing (who was sent to investigate the King's disappearance), Zelda leaves for the island along with Impa to find them. They eventually learn that Ganon had captured King Harkinian, and that Duke Onkled is working with Ganon in an alliance. Zelda later confronts Ganon inside Reesong Palace with the light of the Fairy Lantern, causing Ganon to angrily blow her away with dark magic. Zelda uses the Wand of Gamelon to mystically summon chains that bind him, and he is inexplicably imprisoned in what appears to be the Book of Koridai. He claims that she has not seen the last of him, just before the book closes on him. With Ganon's defeat, Zelda rescues her father and Duke Onkled is arrested, bringing peace back to Gamelon.

In, Ganon (referred to as "Gannon") had captured Link and conquered the land of Tolemac. He had stolen the seven Celestial Signs and hidden them throughout the land's Shrines, guarded by the Shrine Keepers. The wizard Gaspra summons Zelda to undertake the quest to defeat him and rescue Link. Zelda manages to defeat Gannon's minions one by one and locate the Celestial Signs. However, just as she is about to collect the final Sign, Gannon stops her and sends her plummeting down the opened Vision Henge and into his realm. Inside, Zelda challenges the Shrine Keepers in a string of rematches, and a moving, horned device appears after each one is defeated and teleports her to the next room. This device later reveals itself to be Gannon in the final room.

Gannon attacks by releasing waves of electricity, before disappearing and reappearing in a flicker of static. As he has no real weakness, he can be attacked and defeated with merely the Wand. Upon his defeat, he disappears in a tornado and his realm shatters. His defeat brings peace back to Hyrule and Tolemac, and Link is freed from his captivity.

Ganondorf appears as a playable Warrior in, as well as the final Giant Boss of the main story in Legend Mode and in certain Adventure Mode battles as Ganon.

Ganondorf resembles his design with traits that resemble Demise. He has longer hair (resembling Demise's flaming mane), wears two golden gauntlets, and has a more vivid color palette on his armor. Ganondorf fights in a very destructive and brutal style that revolves around mixing quick and powerful attacks with dark magic. He wields dual Great Swords in battle as his primary Weapon. Additionally, Ganondorf has access to another Weapon in the form of the Trident, using a fast, hard-hitting style with quick one-handed strikes and charging attacks.

In his beast form, Ganon resembles Dark Beast Ganon from, incorporating elements of the previous Giant Bosses. Selected items must be used to disarm Ganon when he performs similar attacks to those of the other bosses; Bombs on his right claw when charging a fire ball (similar to King Dodongo), the Bow on his left claw when charging a laser blast (similar to Gohma), the Boomerang on his shoulder spikes after rapidly firing seeds (similar to Manhandla), and the Hookshot on his glowing tail (similar to Argorok). Each successful blow will break a respective part of his body. Once weakened, Ganon becomes vulnerable to Arrows when the gem on his forehead glows when he is about to charge. Striking this knocks Ganon down, revealing his Weak Point Gauge.

Ganondorf occasionally drops his Gauntlet as a silver Material when defeated, and rarely his Jewel as a gold Material. Ganon drops his Mane as a silver Material, and rarely his Fang as a gold Material.

Legend Mode
Prior to the game's events, Ganondorf was split into four pieces and sealed away long ago within different eras and dimensions; the Water Temple of, the Palace of Twilight of , the Sealed Grounds of SS undefined, and one guarded by the Master Sword in the Temple of the Sacred Sword. Although without a body, his influence manages to corrupt Cia, a sorceress tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce, into a crazed witch with a strong desire for Link. His influence persuades her into opening the Gate of Souls, with which she uses to summon monsters and wages a war over Hyrule. After stealing the two Triforce pieces from Link and Sheik, thereby reuniting all three Triforce pieces, she uses the gate to retrieve three of Ganondorf's dark fragments. Although his body is still yet to be complete, Ganondorf grows impatient and manifests his body's form in an attempt to steal Cia's stolen Triforce pieces. She subdues him however after returning the two pieces back to Link and Zelda. He appears again in the Temple of Souls, commanding Rogue Forces as he attempts to take the Triforce pieces from their owners. He is defeated by Link before he can capture Zelda.

Ganondorf does not return until Cia is defeated, when the seal in the Master Sword's chamber finally breaks as a result of the sword being removed, thus freeing his last fragment and reviving him again. For three Scenarios, Ganondorf becomes playable as he creates and leads an army to take the Triforce pieces. He summons Zant and Ghirahim to lead under his command, threatening to return them to their imprisonment unless they serve him, and takes over the monster stronghold in Gerudo Desert. He invades the Valley of Seers, where he manages to defeat Lana and take the Triforce of Power that had been bestowed to her by Cia. He then takes Link's and Zelda's Triforce pieces in Hyrule Field, and takes over the castle. After the Hyrulean Forces defeat the stronghold at the desert, they return to Ganon's Tower to defeat Ganondorf. He is defeated by Link, but uses the Triforce to transform into Ganon. He is however again defeated with the Light Arrows that Zelda bestows to Link, which returns the Triforce pieces to Link, Zelda and Lana. They use the Triforce pieces to imprison Ganon's spirit again.

Ganon's Fury
In the Boss Pack DLC exclusive to the Wii U version of, Ganon in his beast form becomes a playable character in the extra Challenge Mode, Ganon's Fury. He shares many attributes to the normal playable Warriors, but handles differently as he is much larger in size.

Ganon starts out with maxed out Special Attack Gauges and can level up normally, although he has no Weapons to gain nor can he be upgraded at the HW:. He attacks mainly using his claws by swinging and smacking them against the ground, but lacks combo strings for Strong Attacks. His Strong Attack, however, has him slash at the ground, creating red energy beams that linger and knock away enemies. A second button press has him swipe with his other hand to create more. Ganon also has a ram attack mapped to the ZL button, as well as a spin attack performed by pressing up on the D-Pad. Due to his enormous size, Ganon does not flinch to most enemy attacks. Instead of traditional items, Ganon uses four Boss Attacks, which he gains from defeating Giant Bosses. Each one is effective against a certain Giant Boss and will expose the Weak Point Guage of that Boss when used on it. The four attacks are Fireballs, based on King Dodongo and effective against Argorok, Ganon Bombs, based on Gohma and effective against King Dodongo, the Fury Horn, based on Manhandla and effective against Gohma, and Burning Breath, based on Argorok and effective against Manhandla. Additionally, because of his massive size and strength, Ganon is able to normally combat bosses and cause them to flinch. In his Focus Spirit Attack and Weak Point Smash for bosses, he employs the use of his Trident. Like his original form, Ganon is of the Darkness HWDE:.

Like Ocarina of Time, he can only be damaged by attacking his tail: if the tail is hit hard enough, Ganon will be stunned and allow the player to deal further damage. Along with standard sword slashes and a charge attack similar to the Final Smash, Ganon uses several new attacks such as his own spin attack, leaping in the air before perform a ground pound attack and shooting a disc of lightning from his swords, a reference to Demise from SS undefined.
