'''Ganon''' ({{ja|ガノン|Ganon}}) is the main antagonist of ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' series. His first appearance was as the beast in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' game, although it was misspelled as Gannon in-game. The villain made his first humanoid appearance as '''[[Ganondorf]]''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Since then, the name "Ganondorf" has been used to refer to his Gerudo form while "Ganon" (alternatively Beast Ganon or Dark Beast Ganon) is used for his monster form.

Ganon appears as a boss in both {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} and in [[World of Light]]; in the latter, he is fought in the center of the [[Sacred Land]] sub-map. He is fought in an arena resembling the ruins of Ganon's Castle in ''Ocarina of Time'', with {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} standing amid the ruins before transforming into the Demon King. Like ''Ocarina of Time'', he can only be damaged by attacking his tail: if the tail is hit hard enough, Ganon will be stunned and allow the player to deal further damage, with his head becoming another weakness. Along with standard sword slashes and a charge attack similar to the Final Smash, Ganon uses several new attacks:

Ganon also appears as three different [[primary spirit]]s.
Ganon can be obtained by defeating the boss in the Sacred Land sub-dungeon in World of Light.
Beast Ganon can be obtained by [[Enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Ganondorf (Twilight Princess) spirit at level 99.
In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Calamity Ganon is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Calamity Ganon. Calamity Ganon's spirit is located in the [[Sacred Land]] sub-dungeon of [[The Dark Realm]].
Calamity Ganon uses a [[Giant]] Ganondorf puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Great Plateau Tower]] stage's Ω form. The player's fighter is fought along with a {{SSBU|Zelda}} puppet fighter representing her appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''. During the battle, the player's fighter and Zelda both receive sudden damage and the former must prevent the latter from being KO'd, referencing how Zelda's hold on Calamity Ganon is weakening in ''Breath of the Wild''.

**The stage makes an appearance in [[Kazuya]]'s reveal trailer, where he uses his Final Smash against [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]]. This is not possible in normal gameplay as the stage is only used for the boss battle and cannot be fought on against other players. The stage was also briefly seen in [[Sephiroth]]'s trailer, though in that case he was only shown standing by himself.
