{{Quote|Calamity Ganon's physical body is sealed away inside of Hyrule Castle. Princess Zelda's weakening powers and the hero's awakening have served as a catalyst for Ganon's revival. When Calamity Ganon finally breaks Zelda's seal, its form is incomplete. It resembles an enormous spider equipped with a variety of weapons. It has absorbed the ancient Sheikah relics used to attack it one hundred years ago, and utilizes a beam attack that is not unlike a Guardians laser.|[[Creating a Champion]], page 76}}

While Ganon seemingly disappears after its defeat, Princess Zelda indicates that Ganon is only 'gone for now'. Though Ganon can no longer take a physical form, it is still able to return in the future.

{{quote|A new incarnation of Ganon, born after absorbing Astor's power. He was revived to bring Hyrule to ruin and has now been sealed away by Link, Zelda, and the others.|In-game description}}
Calamity Ganon retroactively debuts during the second Great Calamity. In an attempt to ensure that its manifestation cannot be averted, it sends a piece of itself through the time warp used by [[Terrako]] to stop it from changing the future. Soon afterward, it tries to use a possessed Guardian to try and kill Zelda as she, Link, and Impa are on their way to the Ancient Tech Lab.
It eventually gained a more complete form after having its Harbinger Ganon form absorb Astor after the two were brought to a corner by the Champions of Hyrule, which resembled a gigantic, Malice and Sheikah technology-fused version of his human form, albeit with a slightly piggish snout. It was also invincible in this form, forcing the Champions to their knees until Terrako, reactivated after being forced to fight the Champions due to Calamity Ganon, proceeded to take Ganon's blast towards Zelda and self-destructed, weakening him enough to ultimately seal him away.
Calamity Ganon can also be unlocked as a playable Warrior by completing Challenge Missions pertaining to the Blight Ganons until a trio of three missions unlock where the player must challenge the three final bosses in one on one confrontations. Completing the Level 80+ mission Versus Calamity Ganon will unlock him. His weapon is the Malice-infested Ancient screws as part of his form is derived from Terrako.
The playable version of Calamity Ganon is slightly smaller than the boss version though he can still use many of the same attacks. His unique ability is to spread Malice when performing combos and certain Strong Attacks. Pressing ZR will have Ganon absorb the Malice back into his body, filling the Malice gauge. Filling it completely will have him enter his Calamity Form where he gains new powerful combos. Either string will not only stagger strong enemies and bosses but expose their Weak Point on hit. His Enhanced Ability allows him to spread even more Malice in his Calamity form with his normal combo.
