Ganon: Difference between revisions

Link must be careful of Ganon's flying [[Trident]] and his fire bats. When Link have a chance, he must hit Ganon with his sword. After some time, the borders of the floor will disappear, and if he falls, he will have to start the fight again. When the lights go out, Link must light the torches with the [[Fire Rod]] or [[Lantern]] and strike Ganon with the sword. When he becomes blue, Link must shoot him with a [[Silver Arrow]]. After four arrows, he will succumb.

Once Link reflect Ganondorf's magic upon him, he will be stunned. Shoot him with a Light Arrow, and he will fall to the ground. Now Link can target him and attack with the Master Sword.

After Link defeats Ganondorf, the castle will start falling apart and he will have to escape with Princess Zelda. Link will have to fight a few enemies, and he will need to stay close to Zelda, but when he reaches the bottom the tower will completely collapse. Approach the pile of rubble, and Ganondorf will erupt from it and use the Triforce of Power to become Ganon, and knock the Master Sword away. His only vulnerable spot is his tail, but he guards it well, so the only way to get to it is to stun him with a Light Arrow to the face, or roll between his legs while he raises his swords to attack. If you get low on health, magic, or arrows, lure Ganon into destroying a pile of rubble to reveal a few refills.

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. Grab it and then repeat the earlier attack pattern to get Zelda to pin Ganon down so Link can finish him off.

Note:If Link is using the Biggoron's sword it is impossible to kill Ganon's final form.

Just when the battle begins Zelda will talk to Link, telling him she will take care of the Arrows of Light to cover you. Immediately, Ganondorf will approach Link with his two blades. Target him, dodge or shield his blows and wait for the [[Parry]] attack (Link can't Parry if he is using the shield) to numb him so he can slash him. Link can also get away from him at a safe distance, making him follow you until Zelda shoots an arrow to numb him and freely strike him with the [[Master Sword]]. After some blows from the Light Arrows, a cinema display will be shown where Ganondorf will knock down Zelda, leaving her unconscious for some time. Meanwhile 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. Link must get near her at this point and use the [[shield]] and get away from Ganondorf while targeting him and being 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. Otherwise, Zelda will hit you, taking away life from you. 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 game will come to an end.

[[Image:PuppetZelda_TP.jpg|thumb|left|Zelda possessed by Ganon]]Because Ganondorf takes over Zelda's body, Link must fight her first. He attacks similarly to [[Phantom Ganon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. His first attack will likely be the electricity ball. When he throws it at Link with his sword, try to hit it back at him, taking both Link and Zelda into a volley. In a humourous easter egg, Link is capable of using an empty bottle instead of his sword in this sequence. As soon Zelda gets hit by the energy ball, Ganon will try a new attack. He'll try to charge Link with Zelda's sword, forcing Link out of the way or he will make a glowing Triforce under Link's feet, which Link must step out of to avoid damage. Following this, Ganon will eventually revert to tossing his signature energy ball at Link.

[[Image:DarkBeastGanon_TP.jpg|thumb|right|Ganon's "true form" in Twilight Princess]] Ganon has only one attack here; he will ram into Link and stomp on him. It does a lot of damage, but he is easy to get away from. As soon as Ganon teleports, Link must wait until he reappears, then immediately shoot him with an arrow. He'll slide on the floor, and Link will get a chance to attack. His weak spot is the glowing spot on his chest. Now, when Link tries to hit him with an arrow he'll disappear. So, Link will have to turn into wolf form and stop him with Midna's huge hand, tripping him over. When he's tipped over, Link must attack as quickly as you can, repeating this until Ganon is defeated.

After the [[Princess_Zelda#Twilight_Princess|cut-scene]], Link will be fighting Ganondorf on horseback. When Ganondorf is hit by a Light Arrow, Link mustgo up and attack him. If Link is too slow, Ganon will knock Link off of Epona. To do this easier, Ganon will also summon ghostly henchmen to charge Link.

[[Image:DLGanon_TP.jpg|left|thumb| Now Link is face to face with the Dark Lord himself. Although his attacks aren't as strong as Ganon's, it's much harder to avoid them. His first often used attack is a stab. Once again, this can not be avoided with Link's sword. The best way for Link to avoid this attack is to do a back flip. His second most used attack is a slash. This attack has the same amount of strength as the previous one, but it has a larger range. His strongest attack is one that is taken from his favorite arch-rival, Link! He'll bash you, and then he'll do a spin attack, if Link gets hit by the bash, the spin attack is almost impossible to avoid. But, he'll delay the spin attack if he hits Link into the electricity wall with the bash. Unlike previous forms, Ganondorf will block almost all of Link's sword attacks

Most of Link's attacks will have no effect on Ganondorf (with the exception of the Back Slice, which gives you an opening after the ending sword-strike), either because he'll avoid them with his sword, or his armor will protect him. Link will have a chance to hit him when he finishes an attack, and he is behind him. He must hit him with a jump attack, and then attack the glowing crack on his chest. If Ganondorf misses Link with his attack, he can jump behind Link and try again.  

Eventually, Ganondorf will jump away from all of Link's attacks, so he must have perfect timing. Or, as an alternative, Link can pull out his fishing rod. Ganondorf will follow the hook with his eyes, thereby dropping his guard, and allowing Link to attack. When he knocks him down after numerous hits, Link will have to stab him.  

Another easier and more preferable way to defeat him is back away, and when he charges at Link the "chance" icon will appear at the bottom of the screen. Pressing A will cause Link to lock swords with him, and he can be stunned by rapidly tapping A. When stunned, he can be attacked with the Master Sword until he falls to the ground. Perform the [[Ending Blow]] to stab him after he collapses to finally put an end to the Dark Lord.
