'''Ganon''', also known as '''Ganondorf''', is the | '''Ganon''', also known as '''Ganondorf''', is the primary antagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He has been present or at least referred to in each of the first five games in the series, and has subsequently been in three more after. Throughout the series, Ganon has had several deaths, both confirmed, like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', and unconfirmed, as in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Ganon possesses the [[Triforce of Power]], which contains the essence of the Goddess, [[Din]]. This divine power makes Ganon unimaginably strong and grants him boundless power, making him the largest threat to [[Hyrule]] in all its history. As stated in the prophecy of Hyrule, the only one capable of defeating Ganon is the Hero chosen by the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]]. | ||

''Ocarina of Time'' is the first game in which Ganon's human form appears. Named Ganondorf, his image is shown to the right. He came from the Gerudo supposedly swearing allegiance to the [[King of Hyrule]]. Of course he had other intentions. Ganon stormed [[Hyrule Castle]] forcing Princess Zelda to flee. He then tried to take the [[Triforce]] for himself, but it split into three pieces leaving him with only the Triforce of Power, with which he could take over Hyrule but not completely fulfill his evil intentions. At the end of the game Link confronts Ganondorf defeating him, then defeating Ganon (Ganondorf's pig form). He was then banished to the [[Sacred Realm|Evil Realm]]. | ''Ocarina of Time'' is the first game in which Ganon's human form appears. Named Ganondorf, his image is shown to the right.

After completing his adventures in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Veran]] and [[Onox]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; a plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon. The actions of Veran and Onox caused the [[Flame of Sorrow]] and the [[Flame of Destruction]] to be lit. In an attempt to light the third and final flame for their ritual, Twinrova kidnaps Princess Zelda herself to be used as a sacrifice. Although Link is able to defeat Twinrova and save Zelda from the ritual, he cannot stop the resurrection of Ganon, as Twinrova ends up sacrificing their own body as a vessel for the evil king. | After completing his adventures in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Veran]] and [[Onox]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; a plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon.

Ganon is not mentioned directly in this game, but is implied of his coming by [[Demise]] right before his death. Demise states that hatred for the Gods and Goddesses like his is so strong that it can never be vanquished for good, and a reincarnation of himself will be born into the world again someday. | Ganon is not mentioned directly in this game, but is implied of his coming by [[Demise]] right before his death.
