Phantom Ganon
Phantom Ganon is Ganondorf's mysterious puppet, and appears in three games: Ocarina of Time, Four Swords Adventures and The Windwaker.
OoT Appearance
Phantom Ganon here guards the mysterious Forest Temple. In the room where you fight him, there are many paintings of the same thing on the wall; Phantom Ganon will jump into one of them with his horse. Quickly pull out your bow and check the paintings; it will appear he is galloping towards you in one - possibly two - of them. The painting with the purple ripple is the one he will jump out of. When he's coming out(when he turns white), shoot at him with your bow; he will return and the whole routine starts again, until he takes sufficient damage to be knocked off his horse. However, if you pick the wrong painting, get out of your aiming mode and rush to the edge of the room; Phantom Ganon will throw down a ball of electricity which shouldn't hurt you if you're on the edge.
When he's off his horse, he will shoot a ball of electricity at you. Hit it back with the Master Sword or a Bottle. He might hit it back several times, but when he goes down rush at him and attack with all your might (jump attacks or rapid Spin Attacks will do fine). Then he'll start flying again... you know what to do. If you've depleted about half of his health, it will sometimes do another attack: He will twirl his staff a few times, letting of small magic sparks to show he's about to attack. Then he will charge at you, doing three hearts of damage. If you defeat him, you will gain a Heart Container and the Forest Medallion.
TWW Appearance
You have encountered Phantom Ganon before in the Forsaken Fortress, but now he is stronger and more agile than before. If he emits a singular blue orb at you, bounce it back and fourth with your Master Sword until it collides with him and causes him to fall. At this time, run up and give him a final blow to destroy him. When he sends a giant red orb that splits up, do a spin attack to send it back to him. But beware, if he makes shadow appearances of himself slash them all quickly to reveal the true Phantom. The last time you encounter this foe, you must use your Light Arrows to finish him once and for all.
FSA Appearance
First Time
One of Ganon's most feared minions is back, and he is as strong as ever, though he hasn't got any new tricks up his sleave this time. The only "secret" to beating him is to patiently wait for him to fire his energy-balls at you, and then play a little ball with him, knocking it back and forward between you, with you using your sword. Once he is stunned, run up to him and slash away all you can before he gets his act together again. Repeat until he's down.
Second Time
He is back again, and this time he is really starting to get on our nerves as he even brought his clones! Defeating him isn't much of a trick this time around either, as you will only need to use the same tactic as you did on your first encounter with him. Focus your main attention on the green orbs, as the balls from his clones will simply break once they hit your sword. Using the Horizontal Line-Up might be a good idea, as it will help improve your aim drastically.
