The '''Failed Execution of Ganondorf'''{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]|pg.11''}} is an event that takes place as part of the [[Child Timeline]].
'''Ganondorf's Execution''' takes place many years following the [[Link|Link's]] return to the past at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.{{Ref|pg. 113|Many years later, Ganondorf, the infamous demon thief who wielded the power of magic, was finally to be executed.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} The following events are explained to Link by the [[Ancient Sages|Sages]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' once Link has completed the [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. The Demon Thief, [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], was sent to the Arbiter's Grounds to be executed by the Sages.{{Ref|pg. 113|The Ancient Sages performed the execution of Ganondorf in the Arbiter's Grounds.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} However, by what one of the Sages calls a "divine prank",{{Ref|name=DV|TP|1715|[[Ancient Sages]]}} Ganondorf survived because he had been chosen by the gods to wield the [[Triforce of Power]].{{Ref|name=survive|pg. 113|However, Ganondorf, who had been chosen by the Triforce of Power, did not perish, and managed to kill one of the sages.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}


==Overview==
==The Hero of Time's Return==
The failed execution takes place prior to the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and is showcased during the game. The sages attempt to execute Ganondorf as a traitor of [[Hyrule]] for his role that he played in the Child Timeline of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. However, since Ganondorf is blessed with the [[Triforce of Power]], it is impossible to execute him. Instead, Ganondorf is banished to the [[Twilight Realm]].
After the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Link was sent back into the past to relive his childhood by [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]].{{Ref|OoT|1924\1926|Princess Zelda}}{{Ref|pg. 91|In order to right her wrongs, she played the ocarina, returning Link to his original era and allowing him to regain the seven years that had passed while he remained sealed.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} With the knowledge of future events and the proof of the [[Triforce of Courage]], Link told the young Princess Zelda of what would happen in the future.{{Ref|pg. 113|In Hyrule, Princess Zelda was informed of what would happen in the future by Link, the Hero of Time.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} The Princess then passed the information onto the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] and Ganondorf was captured and sent to be executed.

Several years after he had been caught, the time for the execution of the Demon Thief dawns. Ganondorf is chained to a giant stone slap atop the Arbiter's Grounds, within the [[Mirror Chamber]]. One of the Sages then draws the [[Sword of the Six Sages]] and thrusts it into the abdomen of Ganondorf. However, by a "divine prank",{{Ref|name=DV}} the Triforce of Power shines bright on the hand of Ganondorf and he avoids death, killing one of the Sages as he breaks free of his shackles.{{Ref|name=survive}} In a rush of panic, the remaining Sages seal him within the [[Twilight Realm]] via the [[Mirror of Twilight]].{{Ref|pg. 113|Thrown into a panic, the remainder of the sages used the Mirror of Twilight to banish Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}}
