[[File:Ganon fsa.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ganon]] with the '''Trident''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'']]
==Location and Uses==
==={{ALttP|-}}===
[[File:ALttP Ganon.gif|left]]
The Trident makes its first appearance in {{ALttP}}, where Ganon uses it in the first stage of his boss battle. He will spin it and toss it at [[Link]] while sending [[Blazing Bat]]s after him. After a certain point, Ganon will abandon this tactic and use his secret technique of Darkness in lieu of the Trident.<ref>{{Cite|You are doing well, lad. But can you break through this secret technique of Darkness? En garde!|Ganon|ALttP}}</ref>


In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Trident is held in the Pyramid level, and has an inscription nearby. The inscription would mean that the trident is the exact opposite of the [[Master Sword]]. The Master sword being the ultimate light weapon while the trident is the ultimate dark weapon.<ref>{{cite|We grant you power to ruin the world. The power of darkness. Evil spirit of magic trident. You are the King of Darkness.|Inscription|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref>
==={{LA|-}}===
Although a Trident-wielding Ganon does not appear anywhere in {{LA}}, the {{Term|LANS|Shadow of Ganon|link}} form of the {{Plural|LANS|Shadow Nightmare|link}} attacks Link by throwing a Trident at him in a similar fashion to how Ganon attacked in {{ALttP|-}}.
 
==={{OoT|-}}===
The Trident reappears in {{OoT}}, wielded by [[Phantom Ganon]], who uses it to summon energy balls and throw them at Link.
 
==={{OoA|-}} and {{OoS|-}}===
When Ganon is revived in the [[Linked Game]] ending for either {{OoA}} or {{OoS}}, he uses a Trident to battle Link. He either attacks with a vicious direct swipe or a flurry of energy balls. Most of these attacks can be dodged using the [[Roc's Feather]] or [[Roc's Cape]].
 
==={{FSA|-}}===
[[File:FSA Ganon Sprite 2.png|130px|left]]
In {{FSA}}, Ganondorf found the Trident when he broke Gerudo law and entered the [[Pyramid]] across the [[Desert of Doubt]].<ref>{{Cite|Curse that Ganondorf! He broke our laws and left for the pyramid...I don't know what he plans, but I am worried...|Gerudo|FSA}}</ref> Inside, he found it underneath an inscription that promised its wielder the power to become the King of Darkness.<ref>{{Cite|We grant you power to ruin the world. The power of darkness. Evil spirit of magic trident. You are the King of Darkness.|Inscription|FSA}}</ref> Ganon uses this Trident during the final battle, where his attacks include throwing the Trident with a trail of blue fire, and shooting a flurry of lightning bolts that send the [[Links]] into the [[Dark World]].
 
Ganon believes that his Trident will grant him the power to destroy the Links, threatening to skewer them on it.<ref>{{Cite|Gwah haa haaaa! Weaklings! Incompetent fools! You so-called heroes do not stand even a gnat's chance of harming me! Even if you worms attack in a group, I will skewer the lot of you on my mighty trident!!|Ganon|FSA}}</ref> [[Princess Zelda]] recognizes the Trident and refers to Ganon as the "ancient demon reborn" because he wields it.<ref>{{Cite|King of Darkness, ancient demon reborn. The wielder of the trident!!|Princess Zelda|FSA}}</ref>
 
A [[Knights of Hyrule|Knight of Hyrule]] mentions that Ganon used the Trident to defeat the Knights and send them into the Dark World.<ref>{{Cite|Hear now the doom of the knights. We were bested by a foe with a mighty weapon. He cast us into the Dark World, where we and the jewels were lost in shadow.|Red Knight|FSA}}</ref>
 
==={{ALBW|-}}===
[[File:Yuga-Link Battle.png|130px|thumb|Yuga Ganon attacking Link with his Trident]]
When Ganon and [[Yuga]] join together, they wield a golden weapon that is a combination of Ganon's Trident, and Yuga's magical paintbrush staff. [[Yuga Ganon]] uses this Trident in order to combat Link at the end of the game until he absorbs the Triforce of Wisdom and begins using magic instead. The Trident is infused with dark power and is also used as a throwing weapon once more, but also retains Yuga's paintbrush staffs ability to transform other beings into paintings. After Yuga Ganon is defeated, the Trident is destroyed along with him.

==Other Appearances==
==={{BSTLoZ|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{BSTLoZ}}, Ganon fights similarly to how he fought in the original {{TLoZ}}, by turning invisible and shooting fireballs. As such, the Trident is merely cosmetic and not actually used in combat.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==={{AST|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In {{AST}}, he uses it just as he does in {{ALttP|-}}.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==={{ALttP|-}} (Ishinomori)===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, Ganon is seen wielding his Trident in the final battle. At first, Ganon's trident easily overpowers [[Link]], and the young hero even gets stuck in between it, rendering him incapable of moving. After Link and Zelda defeat Ganon, Link is seen holding the Trident in his hand as the [[Triforce]] asks him to make his wish.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==={{ZA|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
Gannon wields a Trident in {{ZA}}. Using this Trident, he is able to summon shock waves of {{Term|ZA|Electricity|link}} to fight Princess Zelda.
{{Noncanon|End}}
 
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
{{Frameless|[[File:HWL Ganondorf Thief's Trident Artwork.png|200px|right|thumb|Ganondorf wielding the Thief's Trident from {{HWL|-}}]]}}
Ganon wields the Trident in [[Ganon's Fury]] in {{HW}}. Ganon uses his Trident when activating his [[Focus Spirit]] to expose enemies' [[Weak Point]] Gauges, as well as when performing a Weak Point Smash.
 
[[Yuga]] can also summon the King of Evil Trident to attack enemies as part of the moveset for his [[Picture Frame]] Weapon.
 
The Trident is also a class of Weapon used by Ganondorf. It is associated with {{Term|HWDE|Element|link|display=Lightning}}. As with the five Warriors from the base game of {{HWL|-}}, it can be transferred to {{HW|-}} via a code, or purchased through the ''Legends'' Character DLC Pack. In {{HW|L|-}} and {{HW|DE}}, the Trident is unlocked in [[Adventure Mode]] as the Reward for an A-Rank Victory in either Battle B-8 on the [[Adventure Map]] or Battle A-1 on the [[Great Sea Map]].
 
====Variations====
The default form of the Trident is the '''Thief's Trident'''. The second from of the Trident is the '''King of Evil Trident''', which is identical to the Trident that Ganon uses in Ganon's Fury. The third form is the '''Trident of Demise'''.

=====Special Attack=====
{{Main|Special Attack}}
Ganondorf throws his Trident forward, striking the group of enemies directly in front of him and dragging them along. He then hovers, taking altitude while charging a ball of lightning in his hand, which he then throws into the Trident, causing a huge explosion. This attack hits enemies immediately in front of Ganondorf, and also those caught in the explosion.

==Trivia==
*According to the English translation of the Trident inscription in {{FSA|-}}, the Trident houses an "evil spirit." This quote seems to be mistranslated, however, instead simply being known as a "malicious trident of demons" in Japanese.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=The Trident: An evil weapon born of darkness that slumbers within the pyramid. It is said that no one who enters the pyramid returns alive. [...] "Does your soul cry for destruction and conquest? We grant you the power to ruin the world."|book=HH|page=119}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Evil spirit of magic trident.|N/A|FSA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|{{Romanize|アンコク　カラ　ウミオトサレシ マ　ノ　ジャキ　トライデント||Born from darkness, the malicious trident of demons.|2}}|N/A|FSA|[http://forums.legendsalliance.com/topic/14202-translation-of-japanese-game-texts/page__st__1230#entry429253 Japanese version]}}</ref>
*Because of Ganon's basis on development from Zhu Bajie from ''Journey to the West'',<ref>https://archive.today/20120629063241/http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_zelda_handheld_history_15603_15604.html</ref> his usage of the {{Term|Series|Trident}} is most likely a reference to Zhu's war rake.


Upon his revival in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' or ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons| Oracle of Seasons]]'', Ganon will be wielding his trident once again, using it to attack in vicious swipes. He also uses this trident to summon energy balls, not unlike characters such as [[Phantom Ganon]]. However, these attacks cannot be deflected.
