Both Agahnim and Ganon are shown as separate beings with alternate backstories in the {{ALttP|Himekawa}}. [[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]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=But one day, a group of bandits accidentally found the door to the Sacred Realm... ...and it opened not just to a different realm, but another world... ...where the Triforce shines golden in the eternal twilight.|book= ALttP (Himekawa)|publisher= |page=70}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=The bandits fought over this prize until only one man remained.

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.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=The Triforce is giving shape to Ganon's desire.

[[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. | ||

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 [[Items in Zelda's Adventure#Wand|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. | Gannon attacks by releasing waves of electricity, before disappearing and reappearing in a flicker of static.

In {{BSTLoZ}}, Ganon uses a variation of his {{ALttP|-}} look. He wears a red coat, skull necklace, and wields the [[Trident]], although appears with grey skin, rather than blue. He laughs when he first appears, and fights using the same method that he used in the original version of the game. | |||
==={{AST|-}}=== | |||
Six years after the events of {{ALttP|-}}, Ganon returns in {{AST}}. After monsters attack Hyrule and a mysterious [[Hero of Light]] appears from the sky, a quest to obtain eight ancient [[Hylian]] stone tablets eventually reveals that Ganon, the Demon King, had managed to keep his lingering spirit alive despite his body's destruction at the hands of [[Link]]. His evil power had slowly been growing in a rebuilt [[Ganon's Tower]], with his ultimate aim to obtain the power of the [[Hero of Light]] so he could be fully reborn. Ganon himself had drawn the Hero of Light into Hyrule, but he meets his hubris when he is destroyed again due to a combination of the [[Golden Sword]] and the [[Silver Arrow]]s, both wielded by the Hero of Light. | |||

Prior to the game's events, Ganondorf was split into four pieces and sealed away long ago within different eras and dimensions; the [[Lake Hylia (Hyrule Warriors)|Water Temple]] of {{OoT}}, the [[Palace of Twilight (Hyrule Warriors)|Palace of Twilight]] of {{TP}}, the [[Sealed Grounds (Hyrule Warriors)|Sealed Grounds]] of {{SS}}, 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 [[Ganondorf's Forces|Rogue Forces]] as he attempts to take the Triforce pieces from their owners.

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 (Hyrule Warriors)|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.

After the Hyrulean Forces defeat the stronghold at the desert, they return to [[Ganon's Tower]] to defeat Ganondorf. During this time, he was engaging in an unspeakable ritual to unlock his full power, and due to the advance of the Hyrulean forces, has two Argoroks delay their progress. He ultimately managed to awaken his full strength, which according to him was such that neither the Hero nor even the Goddess could surpass him, and proceeded to personally enter the fray afterwards. However, his power was drained after the Hyrulean Forces managed to capture Hyrule Castle while he was out fighting. He is defeated by Link, but uses the Triforce to transform into Ganon. He is however again defeated with the [[Light Arrow]]s 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 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 {{Term|HW|Bazaar|link}}. He attacks mainly using his claws by swinging and smacking them against the ground, but lacks combo strings for Strong Attacks.

In {{Term|CoH|Symphony of the Mask|link}}, his role is the same and the only civilizations that were spared from his wrath were the Gerudo and the Deku. When {{Term|CoH|Skull Kid|link}} reaches him, the [[Skull Mask]] betrays the imp and gives Ganon more power, turning him into Skull Ganon. Despite the power boost, he is defeated the same way as in the main game with Link, Zelda, and Cadence using the Triforce to destroy the Skull Mask. | In {{Term|CoH|Symphony of the Mask|link}}, his role is the same and the only civilizations that were spared from his wrath were the Gerudo and the Deku.

{{Term|HWAoC|Ganon}} appears in {{HWAoC}}. His {{Term|HWAoC|Malice|link}} pass through the portal opened by | {{Term|HWAoC|Ganon}} appears in {{HWAoC}}. His {{Term|HWAoC|Malice|link}} pass through the portal opened by {{Term|HWAoC|Terrako|link}} to stop it from changing history, and tries to prematurely recruit a {{Term|HWAoC|Guardian Stalker|link}} to assassinate {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda|link}} before she can awaken her power. Ganon later possesses the Terrako of this timeline, turning it into {{Term|HWAoC|Harbinger Ganon|link}}, and watches Link, Zelda, and Impa travel to the {{Term|HWAoC|Royal Ancient Lab|link}} to analyze Terrako. Ganon later has his army attack {{Term|HWAoC|Rito Village|link}}, thus making {{Term|HWAoC|Revali|link}} paranoid, while he shows {{Term|HWAoC|Astor|link}}, {{Term|HWAoC|Master Kohga|link}}, and {{Term|HWAoC|Sooga|link}} his eventual victory and what they must do to ensure it is left unchanged. Despite the Divine Beasts and the Sheikah Towers being ready much earlier than in {{BotW|-}}'s timeline, Ganon still awakens on Zelda's 17th birthday and sends the Blight Ganons to kill the Champions while he recruits the Guardians to his army once more and shuts down the Sheikah Towers. When the Blight Ganons are killed too early, Astor sacrifices Yiga Clan members to revive them, thus alienating the rival Sheikah clan from his forces. Ganon is later fought at Hyrule Castle in his Harbinger form and retreats after half of his health is depleted. When Astor commands the Demon King to eliminate Link and Zelda, Ganon consumes his body for failing him one too many and driving the Yiga Clan away from him, assuming this body as his final form. Despite the new body, Ganon is sealed again by Zelda's power, thus restoring peace to Hyrule. | ||
