Once Link helps [[Medli]] and [[Makar]] awaken as sages and recovers all of the [[Triforce Shard]]s, Zelda is kidnapped and taken to Ganondorf's castle. With the sword re-powered and the Triforce of Courage restored, Link is able to get to Ganondorf's castle. Initially, Ganondorf appears watching Zelda sleep, and notes she is simply dreaming of endless oceans. He tells Link that the reason Hyrule was sunk was the people being abandoned by the Gods, then seemingly turns into [[Puppet Ganon]]. After Puppet Ganon is defeated, Ganondorf reveals he is perfectly fine, telling Link to confront him on the roof. Once he does so, Ganondorf wistfully regales the story of how he resented his tribe's home and the deathly wind it carried growing up, leading him to conquer the neighboring Hyrule and its wind full of life for himself. He then forcefully takes the Triforce of Courage from Link and assembles the full Triforce, preparing to wish for Hyrule to be restored for him. Before he can make his wish on the Triforce, however, [[King Daphnes]] appears and wishes on the Triforce himself to give Link and Zelda a better future and wash away the old kingdom, causing the still-intact areas beneath the Great Sea to start flooding fully. At this, Ganondorf goes insane and laughs maniacally for several moments, gleefully telling Link and the now-awake Zelda he will show them their "future" as he draws his swords. | Once Link helps [[Medli]] and [[Makar]] awaken as sages and recovers all of the [[Triforce Shard]]s, Zelda is kidnapped and taken to Ganondorf's castle.

He engages Link in a swordfight, with Zelda using the Light Arrows. Link must distract Ganondorf by attacking him and parrying his own blows so Zelda can shoot him. Otherwise, he leaps away. When he is shot, he becomes paralyzed for a few moments, allowing repeat attacks. After a few shots, Ganondorf backhands Zelda over, and Link must continue to stall him while she recovers. Once she does, they continue, though Ganondorf is now much more wary about her shots and will even use his swords to counter parries to his back | He engages Link in a swordfight, with Zelda using the Light Arrows.

After enough of this, Zelda calls to Link that she will shoot into his [[Mirror Shield]]. Link reflects the arrow into Ganondorf, paralyzing him one last time, then leaps up and plunges the Master Sword through his forehead gem. Ganondorf stays alive a few more moments and states that he can feel "the wind" blowing before turning to stone. He is them buried under the Great Sea's water along with the King, ensuring neither will ever return, while Link and Zelda are returned to the surface. | ||

Ganondorf is the true main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. In the future of the time where Ganondorf was not allowed to take over in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''{{'}}s epilogue, Ganondorf was to be executed by the seven [[sage]]s for his crimes. However, when Link was sent back in time, the Triforce pieces went to their owners' past counterparts, leading Ganondorf to have the Triforce of Power, which the sages considered darkly to be some manner of "divine prank."

In the future of the time where Ganondorf was not allowed to take over in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''{{'}}s epilogue, Ganondorf was to be executed by the seven [[sage]]s for his crimes. However, when Link was sent back in time, the Triforce pieces went to their owners' past counterparts, leading Ganondorf to have the Triforce of Power, which the sages considered darkly to be some manner of "divine prank." He survives getting impaled by them, and uses the sword to kill the Sage of Water, leading them to activate the long-dormant [[Mirror of Twilight]] to seal him away. However, this leads to him discovering the resentful [[Twili]] [[Zant]], whom he manipulates into helping him take over Hyrule. Ganondorf is absent for the first half of the game, initially only appearing in the sages' recounting of his failed execution midway through. He finally appears in person in the conquered Hyrule Castle, where he initially [[Puppet Zelda|possesses Zelda's lifeless body]]. After he is defeated, [[Midna]] uses the [[Fused Shadows]] to extract Ganondorf's soul, after which he becomes a giant, fiery version of his head to speak briefly, and then becomes Ganon. After he is defeated again, Zelda's life is restored, and she uses the power of the four [[Spirits of Light]] to create the Light Arrows, which she shoots at him in a horseback battle in [[Hyrule Field]]. Once he is defeated here, he conjures up a force field and fights Link directly in sword combat, able to use many techniques. As part of the same running gag as in ''Ocarina of Time'', Ganondorf will be distracted by Link's [[Fishing Line]] if he withdraws it. Once Ganondorf is defeated for the fourth and final time, Link impales him with the Master Sword. After this happens, a brief cinematic of Zant cracking his neck occurs, signifying Ganondorf's death. | ||
