Ganondorf has gone from a cold, heartless individual to a sad individual and back again. In older games he seems to be bent only on controlling [[Hyrule]], but in Wind Waker players saw a different side of Ganondorf Dragmire, where he was yearning for Hyrule back. Mostly, though, he seems only bent on evil things. | |||

Ocarina of Time is the first game in which Ganon's human form appears. Named Ganondorf, his picture is shown below. He came from the [[Gerudo]] supposedly swearing allegiance to the King of Hyrule. Of course he had other intentions. Ganondorf stormed [[Hyrule Castle]] forcing [[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 [[Evil Realm]]. | |||
