Gerudo Dragon is Ganondorf's forward B attack. It is almost identical to Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost, but it is much more powerful, and slower.

The Gerudo Dragon allows Ganondorf the ability to dodge most projectiles while the attack is propelling him forward, similarly to the Raptor Boost. The attack sends the opponent up into the air, and unlike the Raptor Boost, does not spike the opponent when used against someone who is airborne.

In the middle percentages the attack sets the opponent up for many juggling combos but due to it being easily punished if used under the wrong circumstances it is not often the optimal move to use. The attack is moderately laggy if missed; Ganondorf will fall to the ground and slugglishly get up, all the while vulnerable to attack.

In Brawl, this move is altered. When the attack connects, Ganondorf holds the enemy and attacks with a dark pulse, which does not launch the enemy, but instead knock them into the ground.

Also, the attack will render Ganondorf helpless when used in midair or when used such that Ganondorf falls off an edge due to the propulsion of the move.

According to the guide, this move is now known as Flame Choke.
