====Backstory====

Ganon appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', and is referred to in-game as the [[Calamity Ganon]]. Calamity Ganon is known as a primal evil that has appeared throughout the history of [[Hyrule]]. Ten thousand years before the story's events it appeared and attempted to destroy the world. To deal with this threat, the ancient [[Sheikah]] race built an army of mechanical constructs called [[Guardian|Guardians]] to aid the chosen [[Link|Hero]] and [[Zelda|Princess]]. These protectors were aided by four massive creatures known as the [[Divine Beasts]] that were used to weaken Ganon. With this army, the Sheikah and [[Hylian|Hylians]] sealed Ganon beneath [[Hyrule Castle]], where it lay dormant for a millennium.  

After Link's awakening in the shrine one hundred years later, Calamity Ganon can be seen circling the top of Hyrule Castle, unable to escape. During Link's absence, Zelda's power to contain Ganon has been weakening, allowing the beast to create more of a presence as the days continue. Many characters in the nearby vicinity acknowledge Ganon's existence, often referring to Ganon as an 'it', while the Monks still refer to him as 'Ganon'. Once Link completes his journey and returns to Hyrule Castle, he encounters Ganon in a large room below the [[Sanctum]]. Ganon takes 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.  

Granting Link with the [[Bow of Light]], Zelda entrusted this task to Link. While riding on his horse around the Beast's massive figure, Link uses the Bow to pierces several weak points on Ganon's body. He then fires one last shot into the core of beast, which releases Zelda from her century long imprisonment. As Ganon makes one last attempt to attack, Zelda uses the power of the [[Triforce]] to finish it off for good.
