Ganon, The Demon King: Difference between revisions

Ganondorf turns into Ganon, a gigantic beast resembling a fearsome boar, then stomps. If caught in the transformation [[hitbox]], the opponent receives 10% [[damage]] and is [[buried]]. The stomp does 10% damage and [[paralyze]]s the opponent, even if they are in midair, with deceptively large horizontal reach in front of him. Beast Ganon then does a dash across the stage that does 47% damage. The move, if the dash hits, is extremely powerful, even strong enough to [[OHKO]] in some situations. If the dash misses, but the stomp hits the enemy in the air, they are very powerfully [[meteor smash]]ed once the move completes, enough to OHKO if they are off-stage. Throughout the transformation, Ganon cannot be attacked. Soon after transforming, Ganondorf returns to his normal form, and appears back at the spot in which he used it. The player will not [[self-destruct]] with this move, as Ganondorf will still be in exactly the same position he was in before using it. It is generally ideal for a player to use this Final Smash at the boundary line of the screen, as otherwise opponents can get behind the player, thus avoiding the move.

Ganon's appearance in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' is based on the version of him from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''. In ''Twilight Princess'', Ganon's only attack involves trying to ram himself into Link. There are two ways to stop Ganon's charge: in his human form, Link must shoot an arrow at Ganon to stun him; in his wolf form, he must have {{s|zeldawiki|Midna}} grab Ganon's head with her hair and shove him aside. In both cases, Ganon falls to the ground and his weak point, a glowing wound on his chest, is exposed; Link must attack that weak point until Ganon gets back up, and continue with the cycle. The glowing wound is retained in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', but it does not affect Ganon when attacked.

In ''Ultimate'', Ganon appears as he does in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: 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 tail appears more green than in either its original debut or its remake, rather than a more bluish hue.
