Phantom Ganon is the secondary antagonist and a miniboss and boss from Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom
Phantom Ganon can appear in various locations around Hyrule's surface, as well as in the Depths. It first appears as a Gloom Spawn - a mass of five hands with eyes surrounded by gloom. After defeating the five hands, Phantom Ganon may appear.
Phantom Ganon has a variety of attacks. It wields a Demon King's Bow with which he can shoot from afar, and he can attack and charge with his weapon. He can also instantly teleport to Link's location. It is surrounded by Gloom, which will damage Link if he stands on it for too long.
Defeating Phantom Ganon will provide Link with rare weapons and materials such as Dark Clumps, the Gloom Sword, Gloom Club, Gloom Spear, and the aforementioned Demon King's Bow.
A fixed Phantom Ganon encounter is set in the Sanctum of Hyrule Castle and can only be fought as part of the Crisis at Hyrule Castle main quest. This is composed of 3 Phantom Ganons in the first wave and 5 in the second. If this fixed encounter is not defeated, then Link will have to fight two waves of 5 Phantom Ganons each before being able to confront Ganondorf in the Depths of Hyrule. Another fixed Phantom Ganon must be defeated in Korok Grove at the bottom of the Deku Tree Chasm to free Korok Forest from being frozen by gloom.
