The hype surrounding ''Ultimate'' Ganondorf was plentiful right from the E3 showcase which saw him use a sword for the first time in the series, and when players got to play him in the E3 demo build, excitement for the character continued to grow, with many Ganondorf mains from ''[[Ganondorf (SSB4)|Smash 4]]'', such as {{Sm|Vermanubis}}, expressing optimism for the character in the coming game.

Several comparisons were even made to his [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Melee self]]. Sure enough, when ''Ultimate'' came out, Ganondorf was a force to be reckoned with and was typically regarded as one of the game's best heavyweights early on the game's life. | ||
Ganondorf's standing in the metagame has taken a noticeable descent since Ultimate's release, as issues regarding his gameplay, such as blindspots on his smash attacks and [[Dark Dive]] have been highlighted, while some matchups have been stated by Ganondorf mains as very difficult to overcome (especially [[Pikachu (SSBU)|Pikachu]] and [[Greninja (SSBU)|Greninja]]). As a result, opinions on Ganondorf have taken a toll as the matchup has been learned. While he has seen success in local tournaments, his representation in regionals and majors have been fairly poor due to his flaws still being prominent. In addition, his matchups, while better than his previous two incarnations, are still subpar due to a majority of the cast still having the tools to defeat him. In spite of this, his viability is still debatable. | Ganondorf's standing in the metagame has taken a noticeable descent since Ultimate's release, as issues regarding his gameplay, such as blindspots on his smash attacks and [[Dark Dive]] have been highlighted, while some matchups have been stated by Ganondorf mains as very difficult to overcome (especially [[Pikachu (SSBU)|Pikachu]] and [[Greninja (SSBU)|Greninja]]).
