'''Ganondorf''' (Japanese: {{ja|ガノンドロフ}}, ''Ganondorofu'') returns from ''[[Melee]]'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a playable character. His design is based upon his appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'' (although he isn't as tall as he was in ''Twilight Princess''). He retains his hand-to-hand combat style, and does not use his sword outside of taunts. The Smash Bros. Dojo states that Ganondorf is the heaviest humanoid character in the game, though this is false as in-game data shows that Snake is heavier. He is the only [[clone|semi-clone]] to be based on a [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|character]] from another series.

Ganondorf holds the distinction of being the last character on the tier list, at the H level and at 38th place. Ganondorf by himself has an above average range, and has very powerful attacks, some of which can act as gimps, most notably his down air. Ganondorf's high weight allows him to survive at high percentages. Ganondorf's grab game, especially when combined with his side special [[Flame Choke]], is also decent. However, Ganondorf is one of the slowest characters in the game, making him very easy to punish, and the removal of [[L-canceling]] makes Ganondorf's aerial approach considerably worse; his lack of a projectile and his sluggishness also limits his ground approach. The addition of a slow, predictable recovery and a bad defensive game brings Ganondorf down even further, allowing many characters to easily outmanouevre him. All of this give Ganondorf the worst matchups in the game; Ganondorf holds the distinction of being the only character in all of the Smash series to have absolutely no advantageous or even matchups.
