The potency of the Sages' seal and Ganon's relatively weakened state reverts him back to the humanoid Ganondorf. This action leads to the Ganondorf in Wind Waker. Link warns Zelda and the King of Hyrule of Ganondorf's true intentions, and Ganondorf is imprisoned before any of the events of Ocarina of Time can take place. Ganondorf obtains the Triforce of Power regardless in the de-facto sequel Twilight Princess , but he is properly killed by Link before he can turn into Ganon. Eventually, a reincarnated Ganondorf is born to the Gerudo tribe, leading to the events of Four Swords Adventures.
All these details lead to the speculation around Breath of the Wild and its sequel. Breath of the Wild introduces a new completely form, Calamity Ganon, which Impa refers to as a "primal evil. This speculation gained ground in the first teaser for BOTW2 , when some version of the humanoid Ganondorf was revealed under Hyrule Castle.
Despite this, Yuga and Ganon are defeated and destroyed. Ten thousand years before the events of the story, Ganon transformed into a monstrous creature of pure Malice known as Calamity Ganon. He ravaged Hyrule before being sealed away by the Hero wielding the blade that seals darkness, and by the princess with divine powers, with the help of Sheikah clan technology: an army of autonomous Guardians and four Divine Beasts that are commanded by four Champions.
However after Ganon was sealed, the people began to fear the potential misuse of Sheikah technology and the Sheikah became outcasts for a time. Some Sheikah, angered by their people's mistreatment, broke away and formed the Yiga Clan who swore to serve Calamity Ganon. However the rest of the Sheikah heeded the people's fears and buried their technology to be used only in the event of Ganon's return. However as a result much information was lost over time to the point ancient technology researchers were needed to study the technology in order to utilize it.
Around one hundred years prior to the events of Breath of the Wild , it was foretold that the return of Calamity Ganon was inevitable. King Rhoam decided to re-enact their ancestors' plan and excavate the Guardians and Divine Beasts. Though the current Link was already an accomplished knight and could even wield the Master Sword, Zelda struggled to awaken her sealing powers which strained her relationship with her father.
Zelda devoted most of her free time to assisting the Sheikah researchers believing the ancient technology had an important purpose to fulfil in combating Ganon's return, though her father initially dismissed her research and insisted she focus on her awakening sealing powers which would be needed to seal Ganon. Meanwhile the Yiga Clan seeing the Princess as a threat to Ganon, attempted to assassinate Zelda, though it was foiled by Link whom King Rhoam had appointed Captain of her Royal Guard detail to act as her personal bodyguard.
Calamity Ganon's origins as Ganondorf were known to the Gerudo Champion Urbosa whom possessed a deep seeded hatred of Ganon as she deeply resented Ganon's deep connections to the Gerudo due to all the tragedy and destruction the villain had caused over the ages and that Ganondorf once used the Gerudo people to commit many crimes on his behalf until an uprising led by Nabooru , another Gerudo legend, whom Urbosa deeply respected and where the inspiration for Van Naboris' name originated from.
Due to this, the champion felt a sense of responsibility owed to her people to destroy the Calamity and show the world that the Gerudo no longer have any allegiance or tolerance for such an evil considering Ganon's relation to the Gerudo a stain on the honor of her people. The Gerudo even reject thievery becoming a mostly law abiding people and had switched to an economy based on trade with other races. Princess Zelda briefly mentions Ganon's origins as well when speaking to her fellow Champions about Ganon's history.
However, as the Champions were making preparations for battle, Ganon reappeared and created four phantom embodiments of himself representing the elements of fire , water , thunder , and wind. These phantoms killed the four Champions and took control of the Divine Beasts, and Calamity Ganon took control of the Guardians. In the aftermath, Link was mortally wounded and placed in the Shrine of Resurrection to recover, while Zelda used her power to partially seal Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle.
Additionally Hyrule Castle was safe enough for people like Misko and Parcy to actually enter and explore the abandoned Hyrule Castle looking for treasure and other value objects though doing so was still potentially dangerous and most people avoided the castle, with Misko and Parcy being the few brave souls that managed to do so and survive.
Misko would even steal an entire collection of historical Armor from the castle. However according to Parcy, the castle eventually became too dangerous to approach. Robbie's Memoirs reveals that Zelda's seal eventually weakened over time allowing Ganon's influence to spread causing much of Central Hyrule around the castle to become a no man's land patrolled by corrupted Guardians. Additionally Ganon's corrupted Guardians continued to prowl throughout Hyrule even annihilating what remained of Hyrule's armed forces at the Akkala Citadel leaving Link the only surviving Knight of Hyrule.
One even threatened Zora's Domain only to be defeated by King Dorephan who threw it down a ravine. The corrupted Divine Beasts remain dormant until Link awakens, as Ganon's influence causes them to cause disasters throughout the land, including Vah Ruta creating endless storms over and around Zora's Domain to destroy the East Reservoir Lake and cause a massive flood to destroy the area and drown significant portions of the land, Vah Rudania rampaging Death Mountain and causing volcanic eruptions that threatened Goron City and the entire region, Vah Naboris initiating sand and lightening storms within the Gerudo desert and threatening Gerudo Town, and Veh Medoh patrolling the skies and threatening Rito village.
He controls the Guardians and Divine Beasts, which causes the seal to weaken, and he has spread deadly Malice throughout Hyrule. Additionally some of his malice pools grow mouths that produce Cursed Bokoblins , Cursed Moblin , and Cursed Lizalfos giving the monsters a pitiful form of life after death. During an celestial event called a Blood Moon , Calamity Ganon's power reaches its peak at midnight allowing him to resurrect slain monsters, Guardians, and Yiga Clansmen thus giving him essentially an army that can be revived every Blood Moon though he cannot revive the Scourges of the Divine Beasts and does not bother reviving Master Kohga as the Yiga Clan becomes more determined to kill Link in order to avenge his death.
Upon sensing Link's awakening, Calamity Ganon cocoons himself in Malice and attempts to reincarnate summoning the Scourges of the Divine Beasts to protect him from Link. Though Link is initially weakened and amnesiac, King Rhoam's spirit takes the form of the Old Man and guides him to Shrines which contain Sheikah Monks that serve the goddess Hylia whom have been enshrined to test Hylia's Hero Chosen by the Master Sword to prepare him to confront Calamity Ganon and fulfill his destiny.
King Rhoam eventually reveals his true form and gives Link the task to " Destroy Ganon " though directs him to " Seek Out Impa " first.
Link reunites with Impa who explains Calamity Ganon's history and informs him of Zelda's request that he " Free the Divine Beasts " before confronting Ganon. In addition to Impa, Link is aided by her elder sister Purah and the male Sheikah Robbie whom have been working to develop technology to help Link combat Calamity Ganon.
Purah upgrades his Runes while Robbie provides Link with Ancient Soldier Gear designed to combat Guardians as freeing them from Ganon's control is next to impossible. Purah and Impa also help Link find a way to restore his lost memories using pictures taken by Zelda using the Camera Rune. Purah's assistant Symin describes Ganon as " the infinite evil that has plagued Hyrule throughout time ".
Meanwhile, Ganon continues to try and reincarnate himself, Link defeats Kogha and Ganon's Scourges, freeing the spirits of his fellow Champions Mipha , Urbosa , Daruk , and Revali whom take control of their respective Divine Beast.
Link also manages to recover the Master Sword which has been under the protection of the Great Deku Tree and Koroks since Zelda entrusted it to them before sealing herself and Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle. However the sword tests Link to ensure he is strong enough to wield it and the Great Deku Tree warns Link not to over rely on its sacred power. When in the presence of corrupted Guardians, the Scourges of the Divine Beasts, or within Hyrule Castle which Ganon's power permeates throughout, the Master Sword true power glows, representing the True Master Sword which increases it power and durability making it an effective weapon against them.
Link journeys through Hyrule Castle and confronts Calamity Ganon within the Castle's Sanctum and interrupts him before he can reincarnate. After Link interrupts and defeats Calamity Ganon, Ganon's spirit is unwilling to accept defeat and reconstitutes into Dark Beast Ganon , only to be defeated once more when Link uses the Bow of Light. Zelda then uses the power of the complete Triforce to destroy Ganon. Spoiler warning : Spoilers end here. Subseries warning : This article or section contains information on a subseries within the Legend of Zelda series and should be considered part of its own separate canon.
Being a remake of the original The Legend of Zelda , Ganon naturally appears as the final boss of the game that the Hero of Light can fight in Week Four. Unlike in the original game, Ganon's sprite features a trident however, he does not actively use it in battle. As a direct sequel to A Link to the Past , Ganon initially appears to be dead in this game.
However, the hero eventually learns that Ganon's evil lingers in Ganon's Tower. Upon confronting him, Ganon reveals that he was the one that brought the hero to Hyrule in order to steal the mysterious power that lies within the hero and use it to resurrect himself.
After a long and difficult battle, the hero is successfully able to seal away the remains of Ganon using the Silver Arrows. In Legend Mode, he is the final boss of the game, appearing after the Hyrulean Forces defeats Ganondorf in the final chapter.
In Adventure Mode, he appears in the final scenario as the Dark Ruler , summoned by Cia as a last-ditch effort to overcome her enemies. In both cases, the heroes must defeat Ganon to reclaim the Triforce and undo the evil brought upon their world. In battle, Ganon initially wields powers of other giant bosses, which can be disabled with the same weapons used against their inspirations:.
Each time one of these attacks is negated, part of Ganon's body will show damage - his tail and right tusk will break off, his bracers will be damaged, and his shoulder spikes will be reduced to stumps. He will no longer use the corresponding attack when each part is destroyed. After losing all of his "boss" attacks, Ganon will begin using new moves, including beams and waves of dark energy and brutal physical attacks.
Zelda or Ruto if the player is using Zelda or Sheik as their character will provide Light Arrows to use against the Demon Beast - fire them when his forehead glows purple to stun him and expose his weak spot Note: it is possible to do this with the standard Bow before receiving the Light Arrows and when fighting Ganon outside of the main story. While stunned, pummel Ganon as much as possible until he gets back up - the length of his stun time depends on how many allied commanders are still on the battlefield - and repeat the process until he finally falls.
Defeating other Bosses allows Ganon to obtain Boss Attack Items that act as Ganon's own set of unique items that allow him to use the attacks of the bosses he defeats. Like most playable characters can perform combos, a special attack, Focus Spirit, and a powerful Focus Spirit Attack.
He uses his Trident during his weak point attacks and as part of his Focus Spirit Attack. However unlike other playable characters he is larger and capable of making Bosses flinch when he attacks them due to being of similar size. Ganondorf can also summon a shadow of Ganon to attack during certain attacks in his Great Swords moveset and can also partially transform his arms into shadowy version of his Ganon form's claws.
