Ganon, The Demon King: Difference between revisions

Ganon is Ganondorf's original beast form, which debuted in the first ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' game (although misspelled as Gannon) and made several reappearances in later games. Ganon's appearance in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' is based on his ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'' version. In ''Twilight Princess'', Ganon's only attack involves trying to ram himself into Link. In order to stop Ganon, Link must shoot an arrow at Ganon to stun him. Ganon would fall to the ground where he leaves a glowing weak spot on his chest vulnerable to attacks. Link then must attack that weak point until Ganon gets back up, and continues with the cycle. The glowing weak spot on his chest is also retained, but it does not affect Ganon when attacked.

In ''Ultimate'', Ganon appears as he does in ''Ocarina of Time''. Here, he would attack Link by striking with twin swords. To defeat Ganon, Link must strike at the beast's glowing tail, Ganon's only weak spot. After enough strikes, Ganon would crumple to the ground, using his swords for support, which gives Link the opportunity to deal a finishing blow. The Final Smash's new name—Ganon, the Demon King—is a title given to Ganon throughout the [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''Zelda'' series]], particularly in ''Ocarina of Time''. Curiously, Ganon's glowing tails appears more green than in either its original debut or its remake, rather than a more bluish hue.
