Ganondorf

Ganondorf (also known as Ganon) is the main antagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, and is the archenemy to Link and Zelda. He also appears in the Super Smash Bros. Series.

Super Smash Bros. Series
In the crossover game Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ganondorf was an unlockable fighter. He was unlocked by beating Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering, and then beating Ganondorf in the next match. In both matches, the player uses Link. Ganondorf is a clone of Captain Falcon, and has all of his attacks, with the exception of his A Button attacks. However, Ganondorf's attacks are much slower than Falcon's, but they are much more powerful. Ganondorf is also slower, and heavier than Captain Falcon, but is more durable. Added up, Ganondorf's B Button attacks are easy to use, but his A Button moves act as a trouble maker. In Melee, he was voiced by Takashi Nagasako, who also voices Donkey Kong in most of the Mario games

Ganondorf returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with his Twilight Princess design. He still appears as a Captain Falcon clone however with his moveset slightly changed. His Final Smash is turning into the beast, Ganon.

Snake Codec conversation

 * Snake: This guy is giving off a murderous vibe! Even getting close to him makes my skin crawl...
 * Otacon: Snake! Ganondorf is dangerous! His ambition is to rule the world, and he's got the power to do it. It's no wonder they call him "King of Evil."
 * Snake: Do modern weapons even work against him? Do I even have a chance?
 * Otacon: Take a look around you. There are plenty of people fighting with swords or even their bare hands. At least you've got firepower! Count yourself lucky! It's not like you to whine, Snake.
 * Snake: I was just asking, sheesh. Well, it's back to the mission for me.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary storyline, he is the true commander of the Subspace Army, working for Master Hand to bring the world into Subspace. He gathers several other Nintendo villains, with Bowser acting as his second in command and doing most of the dirty work while he works behind the scenes. When many of the heroes infiltrate the Subspace Army base on a floating island, he reveals himself to them and commands the R.O.B.s to set up more Subspace Bombs and even has them attack the Ancient Minister (who turns out to be a R.O.B. as well) who then ends up assisting the fighters. The island is absorbed into Subspace, though not before the heroes escape. He emerges from Subspace with Bowser on a massive Doomship, and with that Doomship, he destroys Battleship Halberd and blows it up to bits.

However, soon after that explosion, some of the game's heroes emerge from the explosion: Captain Olimar, Samus, Captain Falcon all in their ships and Fox in his Arwing. They all shoot at the Doomship, however the Doomship is too powerful for them to destroy. The Doomship tries to destroy all the ships however soon Kirby arrvies. Riding on Dragoon, he flies right straight into the Doomship's cannon. Ganondorf and Bowser look surprised as the cannon explodes. The rest of the heroes keep firing at the Doomship until soon it is covered in fire. Before it blows up though, Bowser and Ganondorf manage to leave the ship. The Doomship then explodes into pieces just like the Halberd.

The two go see Master Hand, though Ganondorf betrays Bowser, using the last working Dark Cannon to turn him into a trophy. Master Hand himself is seen to be controlled by Taboo. Ganondorf leaps to attack the dark being, only to be turned into a trophy himself. When Bowser is revived by King Dedede, he furiously attacks Ganondorf's trophy in an act of vengeance. Link and Zelda come across the trophy and revive him, forming a temporary alliance as all the characters prepare for the final battle against Taboo.

Classic
''Said to be the sole man born to the Gerudo tribe in a hundred years, Ganondorf aspired to conquer the world. He plundered a piece of the sacred Triforce from the Temple of Time when Link pulled the Master Sword from its pedestal. With the Triforce of Power in Ganondorf's possession, Hyrule was plunged into darkness until Link and Zelda defeated the fiend.''

Adventure
''Since he's slow and can't jump very high, Ganondorf relies mainly on his immense physical strength to overwhelm his enemies. His great weight also makes him a difficult foe to send offscreen. Ganondorf's Warlock Punch is slow but absurdly powerful, and when he strikes with his Gerudo Dragon, enemies rise skyward enveloped in dark flames.''

All-Star
''Ganondorf's slow speed works against him in single combat, but in melees, his crazy power lets him earn his keep with innumerable KOs. Ganondorf can't strike quickly, but each blow he lands adds up. Ganondorf is at his quickest when he uses the Wizard's Foot, and his Dark Dive blasts foes in a burst of dark energy.''

Ganondorf
''A man who wants to use the power of the Triforce to conquer the world. In Twilight Princess, he gives strength to the Twilight King, Zant, and tries to change the land into a world of darkness. He possesses Zelda, transforms into a magical beast, and attacks Link. In the end, however, Link deals him a finishing blow and defeats him.''

Beast Ganon
''Ganondorf's Final Smash. When he grabs a Smash Ball, he transforms into a repulsive, evil beast. He'll vanish momentarily from the screen, then rampage from one side to the other in a straight, headlong rush. When he begins the move, any character before his eyes will flinch, so try to start the move near other characters.''

Ganondorf (Wind Waker)
''The king of evil. Ganondorf aims to collect the Triforce pieces and rule the world. Already in possession of the Triforce of Power, he secures Zelda and her Triforce of Wisdom, thus luring Link to his castle. However, he is ultimately defeated by Zelda's Light Arrows and Link's Master Sword.''

Trivia

 * In Nintendo Monopoly, Ganondorf takes the role of Pacific Avenue, and costs $300.
 * In Melee, Though Ganondorf is depicted holding a sword in his official artwork, he only uses this sword in one of his victory poses, but never actually in battle. A trick with Action Replay allows players to fight with a sword, but not does nothing in gameplay.
 * Ganondorf's hand can be seen in the intro of Super Smash Bros. Melee, though he is a secret character, just as Pichu and Jigglypuff, who are also seen in it.
 * Ganondorf is the only clone character whose is not based off of a character from his or her own series.
