'''Ganon''', also known as '''Ganondorf''', is the main antagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He has been present or at least referred to in each of the first five games in the series, and has subsequently been in three more after. Throughout the series, Ganon has had several deaths, both confirmed, like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', and unconfirmed, as in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Ganon possesses the [[Triforce of Power]], which contains the essence of the Goddess, [[Din]]. This divine power makes Ganon unimaginably strong and grants him boundless power, making him the largest threat to [[Hyrule]] in all its history. As stated in the prophecy of Hyrule, the only one capable of defeating Ganon is the Hero chosen by the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]]. | '''Ganon''', also known as '''Ganondorf''', is the main antagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

Ganon is not mentioned directly in this game, but is implied of his coming by [[Demise]] right before his death. Demise states that hatred for the Gods and Goddesses like his is so strong that it can never be vanquished for good, and a reincarnation of himself will be born into the world again someday. | Ganon is not mentioned directly in this game, but is implied of his coming by [[Demise]] right before his death.

In [[Zelda: Wand of Gamelon]], Ganon has taken over the far away land of Gamelon. He sent his servant Duke Onkled the cousin of King Harkinian to convince both the King and Link to travel to Gamelon to aid in defeating Ganon. They were both captured which prompted Zelda to travel there herself to rescue them and save the land of Gamelon from Ganon and his servants. In the end Zelda used the magic lantern to expose Ganon to the light weakening him and then Wand of Gamelon on Ganon to bind him in chains and reseal him into the Book of Koridai. | In [[Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon]], Ganon has taken over the far away land of Gamelon.

In [[Zelda's Adventure]], Ganon has kidnapped Link and stolen the seven celestial signs taking over the kingdom of Tolemac. Zelda goes on a quest to collect the signs and rescue Link. In this game Ganon bears no resemblance to any previous design and appears as a large demon with bull horns and wearing a dark cape with a red interior but still wields a trident as seen from other games. He teleports around the room firing several magical balls of energy downward. After several hits he transforms into a small dark whirlwind and flies apart. | In [[Zelda's Adventure]], Ganon has kidnapped Link and stolen the seven celestial signs taking over the kingdom of Tolemac.

Ganon made an appearance as the main antagonist of the 1989 Zelda Animated series from DIC Entertainment voiced by Len Carlson. In this series he was loosely based on his design from the original Legend of Zelda as an anthropomorphized boar in a purple robe. His portrayal is much more comical than any of the game appearances. He is often quick to anger and yells at the bumbling of his minions or waves his fist after losing to the heroes. | Ganon made an appearance as the main antagonist of the 1989 Zelda Animated series from DIC Entertainment voiced by Len Carlson.
