| '''Ganondorf''' (also known as '''Ganon''') is a fictional character from the ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, where he is the central antagonist and archenemy of [[Link]] and [[Zelda]]. Originally a leader of the Gerudo, a race of desert brigands, he acquired the Triforce of Power in ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Since then, he has become the king of darkness and used his powers to obtain domination over [[wikipedia:Hyrule|Hyrule]] through a variety of means, particularly by obtaining the other two pieces of the Triforce.
| |
| | |
| Primarily through the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Ganondorf has crossed over with the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In each title, he was an unlockable playable character. In the first title, he was based off of his appearance in ''Ocarina of Time'' and in the second he was based off of his appearance in ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. Ganondorf also appeared alongside several ''Super Mario'' subjects in [[Toys#Nintendo_Monopoly|Nintendo Monopoly]], where he took the role of Pacific Avenue. He costs $300.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Ganondorf appeared as an unlockable playable character, unlocked by clearing Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering and then defeating him in a one-on-one stock match. In both the event and the following fight, the player uses Link. Like Link and Zelda, in this title Ganondorf's appearance was based off of his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. Like fellow secret characters [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Pichu]], Ganondorf makes a cameo appearance in the title's introduction. His hand can be seen along with Link's and Zelda's, the one of the three Triforces glowing on each their hands.
| |
| | |
| His special and standard moves are similar to [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's]], making Ganondorf the only character in ''Melee'' to share moves with a character from another series. Ganondorf's attacks are much slower than Falcon's, but they are much more powerful. Though his official artwork portrayed him with a sword, Ganondorf only uses the sword in a taunt when he wins a match in one of the Melee modes. He was voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]], who previously voiced [[Donkey Kong]] in the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]] series.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| |
| Ganondorf again appeared as an unlockable playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Players unlock him by clearing Classic Mode with [[Link]] or [[Zelda]] on hard difficulty, playing 200 Brawl matches, or having Ganondorf join the team in the Subspace Emissary. Additionally, his Final Smash, Beast Ganon, allows him to transform into his beast form from ''Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', Ganon.
| |
| | |
| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| {{spoiler}}
| |
| [[Image:Subspace_ganondorf.PNG|thumb|left|Ganondorf's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| In the Subspace Emissary storyline, Ganondorf is the true commander of the [[Subspace Army]], working for [[Master Hand]] to bring the world into Subspace, though he plots to betray him and seize his power. He gathers several other villains such as [[Wario]], [[Ridley]], and [[Porky Minch]]. [[Bowser]] acts as his second in command and does most of the dirty work, while Ganondorf works behind the scenes. Wario, however, chose to ignore his duties and do whatever he wanted (until he was turned into a trophy and sucked into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]]). When many of the heroes infiltrate [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]] on the [[Isle of Ancients]], he reveals himself to them and commands the [[Robotic Operating Buddy|R.O.B.]]s to set off multiple [[Subspace Bomb]]s. He even commands them to attack the [[Ancient Minister]], who then reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and assists the fighters. The island is absorbed into Subspace, shortly after the heroes escape. Ganondorf emerges from Subspace with Bowser on a massive [[Subspace Gunship]], and fires at the [[Battleship Halberd]], destroying it.
| |
| | |
| However, soon after that explosion, some of the game's heroes emerge from the explosion: [[Captain Olimar]], [[Samus]], and [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Fox]], all in their own ships. They all shoot at the Subspace Gunship; however, the gunship is too powerful for them to destroy. Ganondorf attempts to destroy all the ships; however, [[Kirby]] then arrives, riding on [[Dragoon]]. He flies straight through the gunship's cannon, causing it to explode. The rest of the heroes keep firing at the Subspace Gunship, causing it to burst into flames, several parts exploding as well. However, shortly before the gunship is completely destroyed, Bowser and Ganondorf travel back into subspace.
| |
| | |
| Afterward, the two travel to Master Hand. However, Ganondorf then betrays Bowser, using the only remaining [[Dark Cannon]] to reduce him to a trophy. Master Hand himself is seen to be controlled by [[Tabuu]], the embodiment of Subspace. Ganondorf, surprised at this revelation, 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 Tabuu. After every fighter is returned to normal, all of them, including Ganondorf, battle Tabuu, eventually defeating him. After Tabuu is destroyed, the world, save the island that held the subspace bomb factory, is returned from subspace.

| ==Special Moves==
| |
| ===Warlock Punch===
| |
| [[Image:Warlock_Punch_Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Warlock Punch''' in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| [[Image:Ganondorfbmove.jpg|thumb|right|''Melee'' '''Warlock Punch'''.]]
| |
| | |
| '''Warlock Punch''' is one of Ganondorf's attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is performed by pressing the B Button. Ganondorf will charge shadow energy, then punch forward, severely damaging anyone who gets in the way. However, the attack is very slow, and leaves Ganondorf vulnerable. The attack itself is similar to [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Falcon Punch]]; however, it is more powerful and slower. [[Kirby]] copies this attack when he uses [[Swallow]] on Ganondorf.
| |
| | |
| The attack's animation differs between ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; he punches with his right hand in ''Melee'', but uses his left hand in ''Brawl''.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ===Gerudo Dragon===
| |
| [[Image:Ganondorfbforwardmove.jpg|thumb|The '''Gerudo Dragon'''.]]
| |
| | |
| '''Gerudo Dragon''' is Ganondorf's side special move, only appearing in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It works similarly to [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's]] [[Raptor Boost]] attack. Ganondorf will then punch forward, with his hand filled with dark energy, dealing a large amount of damage to any player in its path. Unlike Raptor Boost, however, this move will send anyone that is hit straight forward, rather than straight up. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', this move is replaced with [[#Flame Choke|Flame Choke]], which, although similar, knocks the opponent to the ground instead of the air.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ===Flame Choke===
| |
| [[Image:FlameChoke.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The '''Flame Choke'''.]]
| |
| | |
| '''Flame Choke''' is Ganondorf's side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He grabs characters by the forehead, then thrusts their head to the ground. The attack works better in midair, as there is a greater distance to the ground; therefore, more damage is dealt. This move replaces the move [[#Gerudo Dragon|Gerudo Dragon]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ===Dark Dive===
| |
| [[Image:DarkDiveB.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Dark Dive''' in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| [[Image:Ganondorfbupmove.jpg|thumb|left|''Melee'' '''Dark Dive'''.]]
| |
| '''Dark Dive''' is Ganondorf's up special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Ganondorf will use a dark energy to jump high. If he hits someone on the way, he will grab them, and then release an explosion of dark matter, pushing the two in opposite directions. The attack is a much more powerful version of [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Falcon Dive]]. The attack can be used multiple times in one jump, as long as Ganondorf strikes an opponent with each repetition of the move.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| ===Wizard's Foot===
| |
| [[Image:Wizard's_Foot_Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Wizard's Foot''' in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| [[Image:Ganondorfbdownmove.jpg|thumb|right|''Melee'' '''Wizard's Foot'''.]]
| |
| '''Wizard's Foot''' is Ganondorf's down special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. If performed in the air, he will kick diagonally toward the ground in the direction he's facing. If used on the ground, he will slide across the ground, kicking anyone he collides with into the air. The ground move is, in most situations, the more effective of the two. The attack is similar to [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's]] [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Kick|Falcon Kick]].
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ===Beast Ganon===
| |
| [[Image:Beast_Ganon.jpg|thumb|200px|'''Beast Ganon''']]
| |
| '''Beast Ganon''' is Ganondorf's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When Ganondorf activates his Final Smash, he transforms into the Dark Beast Ganon, roaring after transforming. This roar paralyzes anyone on the ground on front of him, stopping them from moving out of the way. However, if a player is in the air, they will not be stunned. The transformation alone thrusts nearby players into the ground, as long as they are not in the air. After about a second after his transformation, Beast Ganon charges forward at a considerable speed, running in a straight path, and off the edge of the stage. However, after this, Beast Ganon transforms back into Ganondorf, and reappears where he was standing when he activated the Final Smash. The charge is high in power, launching even players with little damage off of the stage with ease. However, Ganon will only hit players in front of him.

| |''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.

| |''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.

| |''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.

| ====[[Solid 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.
