Phantom Ganon

is a recurring Series: in.

In, Phantom Ganon is the boss of the OoT3D:. Once the battle starts, Phantom Ganon jumps into one of the six paintings around the room. Afterwards, it and two replicas will ride to the front of three paintings. The real one can be spotted by its lighter color. A purple vortex then appears revealing the real Phantom Ganon. As Phantom Ganon jumps out of the painting, Link can shoot it with the Fairy Bow. If the Arrow misses or is delayed, it summons an electric ball on the ground that scatters across the platform. This can be avoided by standing on one of the Triforce images on each corner of the platform. After three shots, Phantom Ganon leaves its horse, starting the second part of the battle.

Phantom Ganon now attacks by shooting an energy ball from its staff at Link while hovering over the ground. Link can hit the ball back with the Master Sword or a Bottle. After enough hits, Phantom Ganon falls to the ground paralyzed, where it can be hit multiple times with the Master Sword. When its health is halved, Phantom Ganon can also attack by twirling his staff a few times and then charging at Link, dealing three hearts of damage. Once defeated, he is banished to the gap between dimensions by Ganondorf and Link receives a Heart Container as well as the Forest Medallion.

In, Phantom Ganon appears in the Forsaken Fortress and in TWWHD:. It must be defeated by reflecting its blue orbs with the Sword or an empty Bottle. Once hit by a reflected attack, Link can attack Phantom Ganon with his Sword. He can also attack it by intercepting its Sword attacks. After defeating Phantom Ganon in the Forsaken Fortress, Link receives the TWWHD:.

During its fight in Ganon's Castle, Phantom Ganon is accompanied by four illusions of itself. It now also attacks by throwing dark energy balls, which splits into a group of small bursts of energy flying towards Link. These can be sent back at it with a Spin Attack. After just one hit, Phantom Ganon disappears, leaving its Sword behind with the handle pointing at the door Link must open to advance. Once the Light Arrows are found, they must be shot at Phantom Ganon once stunned in order to finally defeat it.

Link can grab Phantom Ganon's Sword to attack; however, it must be hold with both hands, leaving Link unable to use his Shield. After defeating Phantom Ganon in Ganon's Castle's labyrinth, Link must throw its Sword at the brick wall to gain access to the top of the Tower.

In, Phantom Ganon first appears as the boss of Hyrule Castle. In order to defeat it, the Links must hit its energy balls back and forth with the Sword. Once stunned, it is vulnerable to slashes from the Sword. Phantom Ganon appears once again as the boss of the Temple of Darkness; however, it now summons clones to its aid. The real Phantom Ganon will throw green orbs that can be hit back, while the clones throw white balls that break when hit with the Sword.

In, BotW:, BotW:, BotW:, and BotW: are all collectively known as NaN Phantom Ganons. They are BotW: creations that he sent out to the NaN Divine Beasts, resulting in the death of the NaN Championss. When BotW: tries to activate the BotW: of a BotW:, these NaN Phantom Ganons will appear, and they must be defeated in order to continue. When BotW: is victorious, a BotW: will drop, and he will have access to the BotW:.

BotW: can also dress up as the Series: himself with the BotW: after completing the "BotW:" BotW:, which is exclusive to DLC Pack. The BotW: is comprised of the BotW:, BotW:, and BotW:. It is rumored that some believe this BotW: is possessed by a dark entity resembling the BotW:. Each piece of the set grants Stealth Up and its has the same set bonus as the BotW: increasing the attack power of the BotW:, BotW:, and BotW: bone NaN Weapons. The BotW: also disguises BotW: from all Stal enemies, save for BotW: and BotW: NaN Enemies.

TotK: utilizes NaN Phantom Ganons disguised as TotK: to sow confusion across TotK:. Two waves of NaN Phantom Ganons (a set of three followed by a set of five) are fought inside the TotK: at TotK: during the TotK: as a TotK:. A TotK: also appears when entering the insides of the TotK: in the TotK:. If a TotK: is defeated, a TotK: will appear where the last arm is slain immediately afterwards. In the distant past, TotK: used a TotK: disguised as TotK: to distract TotK: so that he could sneak up on her and kill her.

NaN Phantom Ganons can be equipped with a TotK:, TotK:, or TotK:, as well as a TotK:; at low health, they will begin spreading Gloom around them to drain Link's maximum health and reduce his room to maneuver. When defeated, they will drop their NaN Weapons and NaN Dark Clumps. If they spot TotK: in a location they cannot reach, they will equip NaN Demon King's Bows to attack from a distance. Attacks from a TotK:'s melee TotK: or the TotK: will destroy any NaN Zonai Devices they come into contact with.

The Phantom Ganons that appear from the Gloom Spawn is slightly tweaked however:
 * Only one Phantom Ganon appears, not as a group.
 * They lack phases due to being an overworld miniboss.
 * If Phantom Ganon loses sight of Link for a certain amount of time, they'll perform a gloom spread attack.
 * They cannot hear Link's noises (dashing, whistling, swinging a melee weapon, etc.). Same applies to the Gloom spawn.

Strangely, if Link shoots 2 arrows consecutively without using the bow airborne or using multishot of the Lynel bow and while Phantom ganon isn't attacking, the second arrow will not deal damage to Phantom Ganon.

(Himekawa)
Phantom Ganon appears in the Ocarina of Time Manga first appearing in Chapter 2: "The Sage of the Forest: Saria", answering Ganondorf's call to guard the Forest Temple and strike down the Hero of Time. When Link and Mido walk by a painting of Ganondorf, Phantom Ganon attacks. Despite a good fight, Phantom Ganon is defeated when Mido throws Link the Bow, defeating the specter of the King of Evil and releasing Saria from the painting.

In, Phantom Ganon appears as a Sticker.

Sticker Information

In, Phantom Ganon appears as a Giant Boss, and as the main villain of the Wind Waker series of Scenarios in Legend Mode. He had stolen Cia's dark magic and the Triforce of Power from Lana, creating a new dimensional rift that summons the world from the Era of the Great Sea. He is eventually defeated by Link, Lana, Tetra, King Daphnes, and Cia.

In battle, Phantom Ganon wields his sword, which he uses for various spin attacks. He is able to vanish and reappear closer to enemy Warriors for a surprise spin attack, or alternately to create copies of himself to surround and attack the Warrior. His projectile attacks consist of raising both of his arms to create many homing energy balls, or to simply create a single white energy ball. The latter can be used to expose his Weak Point Gauge if bounced back at him by striking it. Phantom Ganon has no specific weakness to any item, and the only way to damage him is by reflecting his own attacks at him.

After his health has been reduced to about half, he summons a second sword and switches his battle style to melee, using the two blades to violently hack at the enemy Warrior. He also lowers his hovering altitude, making himself reachable to attack, but will always shield himself similarly to wind waker Ganondorf if attacked at the front or the sides. His backside, however, will become vulnerable to attack. After striking his back enough times, he will fall to the ground, exposing his Weak Point Gauge.

When defeated, Phantom Ganon will occasionally drop his Cape as a silver Material, and rarely, his Sword as a gold Material.
