| '''Ganon''', also referred to as '''Beast Ganon''' or '''Ganon, The Demon King''', is the beast form of [[Ganondorf]] and the primary antagonist of the [[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. He first debuted in the original NES ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]''. Ganon is the archenemy of [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Link]], and is the king of darkness. Ganon's beast form has seen many visual changes throughout the series, but is always resembling some kind of boar or warthog. The beast form of Ganondorf has appeared in more installments of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series than his Gerudo form, and is frequently fought as the final boss.

He is also called "[[Ganondorf#Ganon, The Demon King|Ganon, The Demon King]]" in this installment, and functions slightly differently from Ganondorf's previous Final Smash. In addition, Ganon appears as a boss in both Classic Mode and in the Adventure Mode: World of Light. For Classic Mode, he is fought as the final boss for [[Link]], [[Young Link]], [[Toon Link]], and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]].

| |''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.''

| |''For Ganondorf's Final Smash, he morphs into a beast and attacks. As soon as he's transformed, he buries nearby fighters in the ground and then stuns them with his roar. Finally, he charges forward, dealing heavy damage and launching anyone in his way. Any foes buried by the first strike are doomed to be hit by the rest.''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Coincidentally, both Ganon and Bowser had their designs partially derived from the Chinese folk tale ''Journey to the West'' (with Ganon being based on Zhu Bajie, the humanoid pig character, while Bowser was partly based on the Ox King Gyū-Maō).
