'''Puppet Ganon''' is a giant puppet controlled by [[Ganon]] in {{TWW}}. The three-stage battle is a precursor to the finale with Ganondorf atop [[Ganon's Tower]].

==Strategy==

===First Form: Puppet===

[[File:Puppet Ganon Pig.png|left|thumb|210px|Puppet Ganon's first phase]]

Puppet Ganon's puppet form is marionette-like, and reminiscent of Ganon's boar-like beast form from {{ALttP}} and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. Puppet Ganon's movement is restricted; his appendages hang from the ceiling by cords. Puppet Ganon damages Link by spinning his tail and flailing his arms. He releases [[Keese]] during the battle as a distraction. Link cuts the cords with the [[Boomerang]], similar to the battle with [[Kalle Demos]] in the [[Forest Haven]]. After Link cuts all blue cords attached to Puppet Ganon, he hangs, suspended, on the central red cord, dragging the ground. Link shoots a [[Light Arrows|Light Arrow]] at the blue ball at the end of Puppet Ganon's tail to damage him. After three hits, Puppet Ganon changes form.

===Second Form: Spider===

Puppet Ganon transforms into a large spider; he flies up to the top of the room periodically, spinning rapidly before crashing back down above Link's last position. Similar to the battle with [[Blizzeta]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Link uses the reflecting pool in the room to see where Puppet Ganon's spider form will fall. Link shoots a Light Arrow at the blue ball on Puppet Ganon's body to damage him. After three hits, Ganon changes form.

===Third Form: Moldorm===

The final form of Puppet Ganon is reminiscent of the many iterations of [[Moldorm]] throughout the series. Puppet Ganon moves erratically around the room, gaining speed each time Link strikes the blue ball at the end of his tail with a Light Arrow. Puppet Ganon is stunned whenever Link attacks his face with the [[Master Sword]], [[Bombs]], or the [[Skull Hammer]], and distracted at the sight of [[All-Purpose Bait]]. When the bait is thrown, Puppet Ganon quickly moves towards it, damaging Link if he is in the way. Link may best Puppet Ganon if he uses the [[Hookshot]] to reach high platforms in the room. In this way, Link may snipe Puppet Ganon without fear of damage.

After defeating the final form of Puppet Ganon, Link climbs the room's central cord to the tower's rooftop; it is here where he faces his final fight with Ganondorf.
