The Legend of Zelda series has become so closely associated with its main villain, Ganon, that the concept of each are practically inseparable. That's just a fancy way of saying that Ganon is the best villain The Legend of Zelda has ever or will ever have. Ganon is to The Legend of Zelda as Darth Vader is to Star Wars. He is the big bad of the Zelda universe, and we would all be disappointed if we were playing as Link and we didn't get to face off against Ganon in a game. (You know which game I'm talk𒐪ing about.)
To any outside observer, it should be completely understandable why we all prefer Ganon as our main villain. He's got the villain shtick down. He's large and imposing when compared to Link. He's got different forms that he can turn into when he's in an especially bad mood. Plus, he also has this snobbish attitude that is so pretentious, you would dislike him even if he wasn't trying to steal all the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pieces of the Triforce and take over Hyrule.
Part of what makes Ganon so formidable is his body and the skills he has honed while in it. The character design for Ganon is phenomenal. But even the most hardcore of Zelda fans may have forgotten a thing or too about good ole Ganon over the years. It doesn't mean you're not a fan if you've forgotten all these little factoids. It just means you spent so much time with Breath of the Wild learning its mechanic🔯s and story that your brain had to shove out some of those Ganon tidbits. Read on if you want to help your brain recuperate and gain those Ganon facts back.
25 Used To Fee൩l Bl🐠ue
These days, we are all used to seeing Ganon as this green-skinned behemoth who lumbers around the world and causes trouble. Tha🤪t wasn't always the case.
Ganon used to be a blue-skinned behemoth who lumbered around the world and caused trouble. I don't mean to discriminate against colors, but don't you think that green is a much more v♔illainous color than blue? The switch to green was definitely a better choi🎉ce. Ganon is way more threatening with that kind of appearance.
24 What'💛s In A ꦓName?
Ganon can go by a name other than "Ganon." Whenever he is in a humanoid form, it is widely accepted that Ganon should be known as "Ganondorf." This all started in Ocarina of Time, and while I like the id🐠ea of Ganon having more than one name, I think ꩲGanondorf sounds a little...dorky. That's not just me who thinks so, right?
I've asked a couple of people who haven't played the Zelda games what they think of "Ganondorf," as a name, and they all seem to th♑ink it denotes a person🅺 with below-average intelligence, which is definitely not Ganon.
23 🐓 Loosely Shaped
More than once, Ganon has shown off his shape-shifting abilities in a game. Despite havin🍒g a humanoid form that he can rely on, Ganon has enjoyed the privilege of turning into different things in order to serve his purpose.
His purpose is u𝔉sually defeating Link in battle, so you can bet that he shape-shifts into forms that will deal the most damage to little Link. I occasionally think Ganon overꦑextends himself too much when he turns into a towering beast in order to defeat a single Hylian.
22 In The Blink Of An ꩵEye
When in possession of the Triforce of Power, Ganon's powers, which are already consid♏erable, are enhanced. With his piece, Ganon gains theꦬ ability to teleport.
With just a thought, Ganon can disappear and reappear wherever he wants.
This makes for a pretty unfair fight. How are you supposed to battle someone who keeps p💮opping up in places you least expect? Ganon's teleportation is not his most celebrated power, but it is one of his most useful.
21 The End Of D🔜emise ꦐ
Ganon's origins were revealed to us in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. As it turns out, Ganon is a reincarnation of the Demon King Demise. All of 🌠Demise's fury coalesced after he was destroyed and was reborn into Ganon. (That's why Ganon is constantly so angry.)
So take a good look at Demise the next time you play Skyward Sword. He is Ganon's past. It is honestly a🍌 toss-up whether or not Ganon's looks improved after he was reborn.
20 Earth-Altering 🎃Powers ꦡ
I love it in fantasy series when a villain is so villainous that his ill intent shapes the land around him. Just by existing, the villain warps the natural world. Ganon is one of those villains. Whenever he's around, the world around him darkens and becomes twisted and corru🐼pted.
He alters the environment with his hatred.
He also uses magic to physically alter the land when he's trying to mess with Link. Either way, I think it's clear that Ganon is an Earth-bende�𝔍�r.
19 Master Organ Player ꧑
Ganon isn't only a villain who wrecks the land, steals away princesses, and dresses in fashionable villain-wear. He is also an extremely skilled organ player. He can p🍬lay his own theme while Lin⛎k is struggling to make his way through his fortress. (That was such a Ganon move.)
Well-rounded villains are one 𝓰of the true joys you can find in video games. It's comforting to know that even while plotting for darkness to take over Hyrule, Ganon still had time to practice on t♍he organ.
18 A Sword To Fear 𝔉
Ganon is nearly all-poওwerful. There are very few items that can do him harm, and one of them is the Mas🌸ter Sword. You could attack Ganon six ways from Sunday, but unless you had that Master Sword in your possession, you wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Ganon is vulnerable to the Master Sword.
It is a holy sword, forged by the Goddess Hylia, and in nearly every Zelda game that it appears in, it is tꦑhe only thing that can bring Ganon to his knees.
17 The Immortal Ganon ꧅
Ganon's fight with Link and Zelda appears to have lasted ages. Even though the games are chronologically out of order, it is clear that the fight between good ﷽and bad has been going on for years. This is due in large part because of the fact that Ganon iꩵs immortal.
With the Triforce of Power in his possession, Ganon can live forever.
This is great for us gamers because that means we get to have him as a villain for♓ a long time. This is not so great for the citizens of Hyr🦩ule.
16 A Gerudo Of Trouble ♐
It is hard to reconcile the images we see of the Gerudo in Gerudo Town with Ganondorf, but Ganon was indeed originally a Gerudo. Though he abandoned the Gerudo ways of life in order to become a major villain, Ganon used to be one of them.
The Gerud♔o are a race of mostly females. A male is born about once every one hundred years. It must have been pure bad luck that one of the rare males of the race ended up becoming the worst villain ever to threaten Hyrule.
