Ganondorf first appears in his [[Gerudo]] form in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', after brief mentions in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''. He initially appears in a prophetic nightmare Link has in the opening, where [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Impa]] are fleeing him on horseback, followed by him attacking Link with magic. Acting on his plan to conquer Hyrule, Ganondorf, while evading suspicion from all of the royal family except for Zelda, attempts to gain access to the [[Sacred Realm]], where the Triforce is kept. To do this, he attempt to attain the [[Ocarina of Time]] and the three [[Spiritual Stone]]s from the [[Great Deku Tree]], the [[Goron]]s, and the [[Zora]], but each refuse. As such, he punishes each, by infecting the Deku Tree with a parasitic [[Gohma]], re-filling [[Dodongo's Cavern]] with hostile [[Dodongo]]s, and infecting [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] with a parasitic [[Barinade]]. Zelda comes up with a plan to deal with Ganondorf alongside Link, involving using the keys to the Sacred Realm themselves. After Link deals with the problems Ganondorf caused and attains the Stones, Ganondorf attacks the castle, leading to the events of Link's nightmare. During her escape, Zelda throws the Ocarina in the moat, and Link recovers it and opens the Sacred Realm. However, when he does so, he unwittingly allows Ganondorf access while he gets trapped for seven years, allowing him to gain the Triforce. However, due to his lust for power outweighing his courage or wisdom by a significant amount, the [[Triforce of Courage]] and the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] disappear, leaving him with solely the Triforce of Power. | Ganondorf first appears in his [[Gerudo]] form in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', after brief mentions in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''.

Ganondorf appears again as the main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. In the future of the time where Ganondorf's takeover still happened and he was defeated, Ganondorf eventually breaks free and terrorizes Hyrule once again. This time, no hero emerged, and the gods flooded Hyrule to seal him away. Eventually, Ganondorf makes his way to the surface, and sets up his base in the [[Forsaken Fortress]], having the [[Helmaroc King]] kidnap girls to try and find Zelda's descendant. He additionally has [[Laruto]] and [[Fado (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker)|Fado]], the [[sage]]s of the [[Earth Temple]] and [[Wind Temple]] killed. However, the current Link's sister [[Aryll]] is kidnapped while he attempts to grab [[Tetra]] (the real Zelda), leading Link to begin his quest. Once Link initially finds Aryll, the Helmaroc King grabs him and takes him to Ganondorf, who wordlessly orders him to throw him across the ocean. After this, he attempts to attain the [[pearl]]s from the three holders of them. He sends a Gohma to injure [[Valoo]], infests the [[Forbidden Woods]] with various evil creatures, and destroys [[Greatfish Isle]]. After Link finds the Master Sword in Hyrule's remains, Ganondorf's minions under the surface become active again, having been immobilized. | Ganondorf appears again as the main antagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''.

Ganondorf is not seen again until Link frees the girls from Forsaken Fortress and destroys the Helmaroc King, at which point Link attempts to confront him with the Master Sword. However, due to the deaths of Laruto and Fado, the sword is powerless. Ganondorf also reveals that in pulling the sword, Link broke the seal keeping his evil magical abilities in check. Tetra then attempts to attack him to save Link, but Ganondorf effortlessly overpowerss her. He then realizes his Triforce of Power is resonating and deduces Tetra is really Zelda. Tetra is not aware of this, and he assumes her confused protests are lies, beiginning to choke her. However, the pair then gets rescued by [[Quill]] and [[Komali]], with Valoo burning away Ganondorf's hideout while he simply stands, smirking. | Ganondorf is not seen again until Link frees the girls from Forsaken Fortress and destroys the Helmaroc King, at which point Link attempts to confront him with the Master Sword.

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.

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 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. | ||
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. 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." 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. | |||
