==Story==
When [[Link]] first enters the boss chamber, it appears as if he is confronted by Ganondorf himself. However, the man pulls off his mask, revealing himself to be a creation of Ganondorf, Phantom Ganon.
After Link defeats Phantom Ganon, Ganondorf will acknowledge the impressive feat, but also comment that Phantom Ganon is just a shadow of Ganondorf's true power, stating that the real battle will be much more challenging. Ganondorf then banishes Phantom Ganon to the gap between dimensions.{{Ref|OoT|895|Ganondorf}}

Phantom Ganon serves as [[Link]]'s first major challenge as a boss as his attacks do considerably more damage than any boss Link has encountered at this point. There are six paintings around the room and it will appear as if two phantoms are galloping out of the paintings. At the last moment, one of these becomes an illusion and will turn around, while the actual Phantom Ganon will jump into the battlefield and zap lightning around the room, which will deal two whole hearts of damage. It's a good idea to stay against one of the corners, as the lightening attack won't quite reach Link from there.

The goal here is to use your [[Bow]] or [[Hookshot]] and hit Phantom Ganon, right when he is coming out of the painting. Doing so will deal damage, causing him to run back into the painting. Never standing in the center of the room, and instead, stand against one of the sides, allowing you to see more paintings at one time. If possible, you want to stand so that you can see both paintings with Phantom Ganon at once, so you can see which is the real one and quickly react to it. After three successful hits with your Bow, Phantom Ganon will lose his horse and come out into the main room.
