Upon consuming his secret stone, [[Demon King Ganondorf]]'s eyes turn into those of a dragon's as he lets out a final laugh and is changed by the effects of [[draconification]]. He explodes into a furious gloom-filled dragon that snaps Link in its unseen jaws and rockets upward towards the surface. Now transformed into the Demon Dragon, he exits from the top of [[Hyrule Castle]] in a manner very similar to the circular ascent of [[Calamity Ganon]] in ''Breath of the Wild'', with Link trapped in between its jaws. The [[Light Dragon]] then appears, causing the Demon Dragon to open its jaws to attack, which allows Link to break free. The Light Dragon intercepts his freefall, and the final phase of the fight against Ganondorf begins.

Link is unable to return to the ground from this point onward; if Link falls a certain distance, a cutscene will play of the Light Dragon automatically intercepting him and carrying him back up to the altitude of the Demon Dragon. The Light Dragon will also manually attempt to catch Link while falling even before reaching this point.

The fight against the Demon Dragon functions similarly to the first encounter with [[Naydra]] in ''Breath of the Wild'', in which Link must shoot and destroy the eyes along that dragon's body. As such, Link needs to skydive onto them and attack them up close, though it is possible to destroy them with arrows or even the elemental explosions from rare gemstones. If the Gloom fire makes contact with Link he will permanently lose a heart, though the setting of the battle, being exposed to sunlight, will cause such damage to heal over time, and the only true way to get Link killed is to take a large number of hits in rapid succession. However, the Demon Dragon moves and attacks slowly enough for the fire to not be a serious threat. Additionally, Link will not take fall damage if he lands on the Demon Dragon, even if he fails to equip the [[Paraglider]], ensuring he has a way to reach and damage the weakpoints in the event he enters the fight without getting the Paraglider ''at all''.

Link can land and walk directly upon the Demon Dragon's body, where he will take gloom damage if he stays on for too long, and attack the eye clusters with the [[Master Sword]] until they explode, dealing the Demon Dragon approximately 1/5th of his health. Each of the 5 weak points (4 Eyes and the Secret Stone) have 1200 HP each. The [[Master Sword]] will deal 10x the usual damage to them, 4HKO'ing them at base power, and lowering to a 3HKO or even a 2HKO with a good enough fusion and ATK+ food.
