Ganon begins by throwing around his [[Trident]] while teleporting around the room. Link must evade the flying Trident and, when Link has a chance, must hit him with his sword. However, in order to hurt Ganon with the [[Master Sword]] or [[Tempered Sword]], Link must hit him with a [[Spin Attack]]. Eventually, Ganon will begin to emit fireballs from himself which will expand and then turn into [[Blazing Bat]]s after they contract, which will come charging towards the young hero. | Ganon begins by throwing around his [[Trident]] while teleporting around the room.

During this attack phase, Ganon will send out a Blazing Bat in a spiral motion which leaves a trail of fire behind. When the lights go out and Ganon begins his Technique of Darkness, Link must light both [[torch]]es with the [[Fire Rod]] or [[Lantern]] to make Ganon vulnerable, and strike Ganon with the sword. Ganon will become stunned and turn blue, at which point Link must shoot him with a [[Silver Arrow]]. After four arrows, Ganon will succumb. | ||

After beckoning Link into battle, the Evil King's throne room metamorphoses into a spacious, open room. Ganondorf drives [[Navi]] away with strong, dark waves and then creates a shock wave that will damage Link if he is too close. This wave knocks much of the floor blocks away, creating an open square cavity around the main pillar. If Link falls into this pit, he can climb back up or use the Longshot to reach the top again. | After beckoning Link into battle, the Evil King's throne room metamorphoses into a spacious, open room.

After Link defeats Ganondorf, the castle will start falling apart and he will have to escape with Princess Zelda. When he reaches the bottom, the tower will completely collapse. The young hero will then approach the pile of rubble, and Ganondorf will erupt from it and use the Triforce of Power to become Ganon, knocking the Master Sword away from Link's hands. The [[Megaton Hammer]] or [[Biggoron's Sword]] must be used to damage Ganon. In this battle, Ganon's only vulnerable spot is his tail, but he guards it well, so the only way to get to it is for Link to stun him with a Light Arrow to the face, or have the young hero roll between his legs while Ganon raises his swords to attack. If Link gets low on health, magic, or arrows, he can lure Ganon into destroying a nearby pile of rubble to reveal a few refills. | After Link defeats Ganondorf, the castle will start falling apart and he will have to escape with Princess Zelda.

After Link causes enough damage to him, Ganon will kneel down, stunned, and the wall of flames separating Link from the Master Sword will temporarily disappear. Link must use this opportunity to grab it and then repeat the earlier attack pattern to get Zelda to pin Ganon down so Link can finish him off. Only the Master Sword can deliver the final blow to Ganon; the Biggoron's Sword or Megaton Hammer can deplete Ganon's health, but even when his health is gone Ganon will keep fighting until his tail is struck with the Master Sword. | After Link causes enough damage to him, Ganon will kneel down, stunned, and the wall of flames separating Link from the Master Sword will temporarily disappear.

Just when the battle begins, Princess Zelda will talk to Link, telling him she will use the bow and Light Arrows to cover him. Immediately, Ganondorf will approach Link with his two blades. The young hero must target him, dodge or shield his blows and wait for the [[Parry]] attack to numb Ganon so Link can slash him. Link can also get away from him at a safe distance, making Ganon follow him until Zelda shoots an arrow to numb Ganon, allowing Link to freely strike Ganondorf with the [[Master Sword]]. | Just when the battle begins, Princess Zelda will talk to Link, telling him she will use the bow and Light Arrows to cover him.

If Link maintains his Shield to block Ganondorf's sword strikes, Ganondorf will turn to kick Link beneath the Shield, sending him flying backwards with one heart damage. | ||
After Ganondorf takes enough damage, a cinema display will be shown where Ganondorf will knock down Zelda, leaving her unconscious for some time. Meanwhile, Link will have to attack Ganondorf with the Parry strategy. The more damage Link does to Ganon, the more difficult it will be to Parry, until it will be just impossible to do so. When that happens, Zelda will wake up. While using the [[Mirror Shield]], Link must target Ganondorf and keep a distance from him, staying aligned with Zelda until she fires an arrow. Ganondorf will dodge it, but if Link was using the shield, the magic will be reflected unto Ganondorf.

If Link is not aligned with Zelda, the arrow will be lost. Once Ganondorf is hit, Link must quickly get near him until he can Parry him for the last blow. Thus, the battle will come to an end. | ||

Once Puppet Zelda is defeated, Ganon transforms into his beast form. One of his first attacks is that he will try to ram into Link. As soon as Ganon warps away, he will either fall down onto Link from above (given away by the beast's shadow that forms around the young hero) or come through one of the Twilight portals that appear and reappear around the room. With the latter, Ganon will surface via the portal that stays blue after it appears, and when he does, Link must immediately shoot him with an arrow. He'll slide on the floor, and Link will get a chance to attack his weak spot, which is the glowing spot on his chest. After taking enough hits this way, when Link tries to hit him with an arrow as Ganon appears from a portal, the beast will disappear. Link now has to turn into [[Wolf Link|a wolf]] and stop him with Midna's hand as Ganon approaches, tripping him over. When the Dark Beast is tipped over, Link must attack as quickly as he can, repeating this until Ganon is defeated. | Once Puppet Zelda is defeated, Ganon transforms into his beast form.

Calamity Ganon takes the appearance of ancient technology covered in [[Malice]]. Its face bears a minor resemblance to Ganondorf. If any [[Divine Beast]]s are freed before the starting the battle, the spirits of the four [[Champion]]s use their Divine Beasts to fire their beams into [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]], which damages Calamity Ganon for up to half of its health. Calamity Ganon will often use its multiple weapons to attack Link. Ganon will also use its tracking beam to shoot at Link, which will create fire upon impact and allow Link to use the fire's gusts to glide upwards. Using [[Urbosa's Fury]] will knock Calamity Ganon over and stun it temporarily, allowing Link to attack Ganon unopposed. | Calamity Ganon takes the appearance of ancient technology covered in [[Malice]].
