'''Calamity Ganon''' is one of the final bosses in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. [[Ganon]] has taken a grotesque form, appearing in a centipede-like figure, with a large head surrounded by Ganondorf's signature long flowing red hair. The beast fights with a combination of the attacks used by the blights he created long ago and puts up a considerable fight even against the [[Master Sword]]'s power. The fight takes place in the [[Astral Observatory (Breath of the Wild)|Astral Observatory]] under Hyrule Castle.

[[Ganon]] has taken a grotesque form, appearing in a centipede-like figure, with a large head surrounded by Ganondorf's signature long flowing red hair. The beast fights with a combination of the attacks used by the [[Blight Ganon]]s created for the [[Great Calamity]] and puts up a considerable fight even against the [[Master Sword]]'s power. The fight takes place in the [[Astral Observatory (Breath of the Wild)|Astral Observatory]] under Hyrule Castle.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The battle with Calamity Ganon will be substantially different depending on whether you've completed much of the game or not. If you have not defeated any of the four [[Divine Beast]]s, then whichever bosses you haven't fought will appear here in [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], so you might need to take on Waterblight, Windblight, Thunderblight, and Fireblight Ganon. Not only that, but they would be in a gauntlet, one after another, and once you beat them, you'd then take on Calamity Ganon. If you die at any of them, you start over.
The battle with Calamity Ganon will be substantially different depending on whether you've completed much of the game or not. If Link has not freed any of the four [[Divine Beast]]s, then whichever bosses he hasn't defeated will appear in the [[Sanctum]] on entry. As such, he might need to take on [[Waterblight Ganon]], [[Windblight Ganon]], [[Thunderblight Ganon]] and [[Fireblight Ganon]]. Not only that, but they would be in a gauntlet, one after another, and once he beats the [[Blight Ganon]]s, he'd then take on Calamity Ganon. If he dies at any of them, he must start over.

Stay close, but not too close to Calamity Ganon. We want to be just close enough so that he will trigger his melee attacks. Time it right and do a Perfect Dodge. Just keep at it with sword slashes until Calamity Ganon has been defeated.

*Calamity Ganon doesn't hold the [[Triforce of Power]] like previous iterations of him did.
*Calamity Ganon doesn't hold the [[Triforce of Power]] like previous iterations of him did.
*Having emerged from a cocoon at the [[Sanctum]], and due to Zelda's containment of him, Calamity Ganon is effectively at a larval form when [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] encounters it. This is why he's a hodgepodge of parts from the Blights and some Guardian parts as well, as he's incomplete. This is a rather ironic twist, as previous games have shown that Ganon may parasitize other powerful creatures to bend them to his will; in this case, Zelda may be parasitizing Ganon himself.

*Calamity Ganon is implied to be not strong enough to fend off Zelda's influence for the century she contained him, but is indeed strong enough for her to be unable to both contain him and destroy him. As such, is up to Link to deal enough damage to him so that Zelda can finish him off.
