In his first phase, {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}} takes on his original {{Term|TotK|Gerudo|link}} form. Similar to {{Term|TotK|Phantom Ganon|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}} masters most {{Term|TotK|Weapon}} types. He starts out the fight with a {{Term|TotK|Gloom Sword|link}}, but during the battle, he can switch his {{Term|TotK|Weapon}} to a {{Term|TotK|Gloom Spear|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Gloom Club|link}} or {{Term|TotK|Demon King's Bow|link}}. {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf|display=Ganondorf}} is capable of kicking {{Term|TotK|Link}} during this phase while he is wielding a {{Term|TotK|Gloom Club}}. If any of these {{Plural|TotK|Weapon}} hit {{Term|TotK|Link}}, then his {{Plural|TotK|Heart|link}} will be temporarily by {{Term|TotK|Gloom}}. In certain attacks, {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}}'s blasts of {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} can permanently reduce {{Term|TotK|Link}}'s maximum number of {{Plural|TotK|Heart}} if he is hit.{{Note|{{Term|TotK|Link}}'s {{Plural|TotK|Heart}} will be entirely restored for the battle against {{Term|TotK|Demon Dragon}}, though they are not automatically filled.}} If {{Term|TotK|Link}} has the {{Term|TotK|Master Sword|link}}, it can be used to deflect {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} projectiles. {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf|display=Ganondorf}} also has the ability to {{Term|TotK|Perfect Dodging|display=Perfect Dodge}} and {{Term|TotK|Flurry Rush|link}}. He is also capable of knocking {{Plural|TotK|Arrow|link}} away if {{Term|TotK|Link}} attempts to repeatedly shoot him. | |||
After his health is depleted, he comments on how he had forgotten the thrill of battle, revealing that he has not expended most of his power.<ref name="Boss"/> He then proceeds to use his {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} to transform into the more demonic form that he had during the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War}}, which increases his health to twice the amount he had previously. After the transformation, he threatens to take more than {{Term|TotK|Link}}'s arm from him.<ref name="Arm"/> | |||
Upon the defeat of his second form, {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}} will swallow his {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone|link}} and transform into the {{Term|TotK|Demon Dragon|link}}, carrying {{Term|TotK|Link}} into another, final battle in | ===Second Form=== | ||
{{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}}, also known as Demon King Ganondorf (2nd Form),<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|TotK Purah Pad|'''Demon King Ganondorf (2nd Form)'''}}|Hyrule Compendium|TotK}}</ref> is the second phase of the fight. In this phase, he is stronger and faster, and he is accompanied by four {{Plural|TotK|Phantom Ganon}}. If {{Term|TotK|Link}} has made a vow with a {{Term|TotK|Sage}}, they will join this part of the battle to fight alongside {{Term|TotK|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I'm with you, Link!|Tulin|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Show the Demon King who's boss, Link!|Yunobo|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Sorry I took so long, Link!|Sidon|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I'm taking you down, Demon King!|Riju|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|We settle this now, Ganondorf!|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> When his health is reduced by half, he will absorb the {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} of each {{Term|TotK|Phantom Ganon}} to increase his strength, before unleashing a wave of {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} that renders the {{Plural|TotK|Sage}} unconscious. His ability to {{Term|TotK|Perfect Dodging|display=Perfect Dodge}} and {{Term|TotK|Flurry Rush}} have intensified, and he will counter a {{Term|TotK|Perfect Dodging|display=Perfect Dodge}} followed by a {{Term|TotK|Flurry Rush}} with a {{Term|TotK|Perfect Dodging|display=Dodge}} of his own. Upon the defeat of his second form, {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}} will swallow his {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone|link}} and transform into the {{Term|TotK|Demon Dragon|link}}, carrying {{Term|TotK|Link}} into another, final battle in the {{Term|TotK|Sky|link}}.<ref name="Dragon"/> | |||
