Sword of the Six Sages. View source. History Talk Sword of the Six Sages Model Sprite. Twilight Princess Breath of the Wild. Super Smash Bros. Brawl Super Smash Bros. Among them was a simple inquiry regarding Link's last name.
The Deku Tree Sprout informs Link that he was originally raised as a Kokiri , despite his Hylian heritage, based on a poignant move by his injured mother: she placed him in the care of the Great Deku Tree during the Hyrulean Civil War before her death in order to safeguard his life from the calamity beyond. Link is a hylian, which is a sort of a elf - human hybrid as far as looks go. Canonically, there are no humans , or elves in Hyrule where the games take place, so one could argue that the hylians are elves , but as far as the official canon goes, no, he is not an elf , but neither is he human.
No, Link is not mute. Link can and does talk but he never got any voice acting. Link is a Hylian. Hylians are not related to elves in any way, because elves are not in any Zelda game. The in-game answer is because he's a Hylian. Hylians are many times thought of as similar to elves in classical fantasy, since they're a very human-looking race with strong magical potential. TL;DR He is based off the mythical creatures ' Elves ' outside of the series, but the creators of the zelda series just named elves 'Hylians' instead to differentiate them.
The games may refer to Link as Human because that is his race, but he's a specific human called 'Hylian. When Link's stamina is depleted, he'll need to take a moment to catch his breath. Finally, having done the coolest thing he will do in his life, Link dies. Specifically, he gets struck by lightning attracted to his heavy metal armor.
Often they are teenagers, but in several cases they are much younger, maybe in the 10—11 year range. So in some games, but not all, Link is small simply because he is not fully grown. In other games, Link is 16—18 years old and is then generally depicted as a pretty average size compared to others of his race. The behind-the-scenes reason for Link's silence is that the character is supposed to be one that players can easily project themselves onto.
You're not just controlling Link , you are Link , so to speak. It shows that Mipha fell in love with Link over a short period of time, and how she was sad that Link was appointed as Zelda's bodyguard. Furthermore, Link has a flashback to him and Mipha sitting on top of a Divine Beast, talking about their future after the war was over.
According to Zelda, Link does not talk because with so much at stake, and so many eyes on him, he feels it necessary to stay strong and silently bear any burden.
Since Zelda and Link have an overtly romantic relationship in Skyward Sword, and Link's entire quest hinges on him rescuing Zelda while his dialogue points to his feelings for her, it's only natural one assumes they end up together. Before Ganondorf has the chance to take the Triforce fragment, Link and Zelda are rescued by Valoo , a great dragon whom Link befriended earlier.
Valoo sets Ganondorf's Lair on fire, but Ganondorf escapes, and retreats to his tower in the sunken land of Hyrule. Link leaves Zelda safe in the chamber beneath Hyrule Castle, awakens the descendants of the sages, and restores the Master Sword to its former glory.
However, Ganondorf, anticipating Link's actions and presumably deducing where Zelda was being hidden, proceeds to call all of his monsters back to his tower from the Forsaken Fortress.
The now abandoned fortress is noticed by the fishermen and later relayed to the King of Red Lions. To make his way back into sunken Hyrule, Link gathers the shards of the Triforce of Courage at the behest of the King of Red Lions, as the latter anticipates that Ganondorf was at his endgame.
However, Zelda is taken away by Ganondorf to his domain. Link destroys the barrier that Ganondorf placed around the entrance to Hyrule Castle, and defeats the evil monsters that lurked there. Inside his tower, Ganondorf reveals to Link part of his motives for conquering Hyrule. After the destruction of his puppet form, Ganondorf retreats to the top of his tower. When Link re-confronts him on the roof, Ganondorf fully explains the reasons for his ambition to conquer Hyrule: his homeland, the Gerudo Desert , was a harsh, barren place, with its winds often bringing nothing but misery and death to his people, either hot searing winds by the day or piercing cold gales at night.
When he learned of Hyrule's lush nature, Ganondorf coveted the friendlier winds that blew across Hyrule. Ganondorf's personal quest had been born of a desire to bring his people to lush Hyrule.
Ganondorf forcibly reassembles the Triforce. However, as Ganondorf was about to make his wish, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule , the former King of Hyrule who had taken residence within the King of Red Lions, touches the Triforce before him, and wishs that Hyrule be flooded, preventing Ganondorf from ever attaining his true wish as well as bringing a future to Link and Zelda.
After a fit of hysterical laughter at his failure, Ganondorf attacks Link and Zelda as water begins to cover Hyrule. Zelda attempts to use the Light Arrows to attack Ganondorf, but is knocked out. Link defends himself against Ganondorf's attack until Zelda reawakens. Once Ganondorf is severely weakened, Link plunges the Master Sword deep into Ganondorf's forehead, turning the madman into stone. Immediately prior to his petrification, however, Ganondorf briefly references the wind that often plagued the Gerudo with some amusement.
Link and Zelda escape to the surface while Ganondorf and Hyrule are flooded once and for all. Oddly, even though the Triforce of Power was explicitly shown leaving Ganondorf to reform the Triforce, the final battle showed Ganondorf having the Triforce of Power mark on his hand.
This was later retained in Wind Waker HD. This hints each Triforce piece returned to its host after Daphnes stated his wish, which could explain why he was able to take blows from both the Master Sword and Light Arrows without immediately perishing. This also marks the first time Ganondorf is introduced as a different character from the one in Ocarina of Time. At first only mentioned by some characters, Ganondorf is eventually revealed to be the primary antagonist within the story.
More is revealed about Ganondorf in the next location, the Desert of Doubt. The Gerudo tells Link that as the sole male born to the tribe every hundred years, Ganondorf was to be the guardian of the Gerudo and the Desert. However, Ganondorf's heart grew twisted with each passing year, and he became obsessed with obtaining power at any cost.
The Gerudo shunned Ganondorf, because he disobeyed their laws, and fled to the sacred Pyramid. There, Ganondorf took the Trident and was transformed into Ganon by its dark magic. If Link is lost during the Desert of Doubt level, Ganondorf can be heard laughing in the background, implying that he may have caused the sandstorm.
After Link defeats Vaati in his palace , the Tower of Winds starts to crumble, with Link and Zelda traveling down the tower back to Hyrule. However, they are attacked by Ganon. When Link defeats him, Ganon is sealed within the Four Sword. According to Hyrule Historia , the resentment and evil thoughts of Ganondorf's past life in Twilight Princess also appeared in the game, and manifested through the Dark Mirror into the Shadow Link.
The same Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time , albeit in a different timeline from the Adult Timeline, is also the main antagonist in Twilight Princess. For unknown reasons, this Ganondorf seemingly wielded the Triforce of Power like his other counterparts, despite not gaining access to the Sacred Realm in this timeline, although the six sages indicated it was done via a "divine prank". It is explained in Hyrule Historia that when the Hero of Time was sent back into the Child Timeline, he immediately warned Zelda and her father about Ganondorf's plots, and thus stopped the Gerudo's actions in the Adult Timeline from ever occurring.
That instead led to the Gerudo to be charged for his crimes, and with the sentence being execution by the Ancient Sages of the Mirror of Twilight at Arbiter's Grounds. The Water Sage attempted to carry the execution out, and stabbed Ganondorf with the Sword of the Six Sages , which left a glowing, open wound in his chest.
However, Ganondorf remained alive, presumably because of the Triforce of Power, and killed the Water Sage with his bare hands. With their execution a failure, the Sages sealed Ganondorf away in the Twilight Realm.
Inside the Twilight Realm, he gained a servant through Zant , a member of the Twili Race who had been refused the throne of the Twilight Realm. Posing as a god, Ganondorf pretended to offer his powers to Zant, without specifically mentioning any requests outside of merging the Twilight Realm and the Light Realm to create eternal darkness. Zant took him up on his offer, and through him, Ganondorf was able to escape to Hyrule when Zant launched a military campaign to cover all of the land in Twilight.
Seeking to defeat Zant, Link and Midna make their way to the top of the Arbiter's Grounds, where the Ancient Sages explains to them what happened to Ganondorf.
Zant reveals how he came to meet his "god", and also makes clear he has just been reborn in the light realm, before Midna slays him. Link and Midna go to Hyrule Castle , where Midna uses the restored Fused Shadow to remove the Twilight barrier that is placed around the castle.
Inside the castle's Throne Room , Link and Ganondorf meet each other. Ganondorf possesses Princess Zelda 's lifeless body and attacks Link, but Midna manages to purge Ganondorf's soul from Zelda's body, restoring her life as well.
A short while later, a huge explosion is heard in direction of the castle. The mist clearing away, Ganondorf ominously reappears holding Midna's Fused Shadow Helmet, crushing it in his hand. Riding his Mount and summoning ghost riders, Ganondorf fights the heroes on a horseback duel. Impressed with Link, Ganondorf challenges him on a one-on-one duel, using the very sword that was meant for his execution. Proving himself superior to Ganondorf in strength and swordsmanship skills, Link triumphs in their battle and lands a fatal blow on his foe.
Bellowing a blood-curdling scream, Ganondorf bitterly remarks that regardless of his loss, this was not the end, as the history of light and shadow "will be written in blood", the Triforce symbol on his hand fading away before, in a vision, Zant appears and cracks his own neck in a mocking way, while standing in place. His final words showcasing his insanity, Ganondorf finally meets his demise. According to Hyrule Historia , after his death, the resentment and the evil thoughts of Ganondorf traveled through time and space, and manifested through the Dark Mirror into the Shadow Links in Four Swords Adventures.
He is instead voiced by Hironori Miyata, who gave him noticeably higher-pitched and raspy, though still menacing vocals. While Ganondorf never directly appears in the game, he is mentioned by Niko. When Niko gives the synopsis of The Wind Waker , Ganondorf is shown in two slides, one when he kidnaps Tetra, and in another battling Link.
When Niko describes Ganondorf, his theme could be heard. Ganondorf does not appear in Skyward Sword , but Eiji Aonuma stated that the game still touches on why he was present in Ocarina of Time. After Link defeated Demise , the latter threatened that he would rise again and placed a curse on the bloodlines of Link and Zelda, in which his hatred and the curse of the Demon Tribe in the original Japanese version would be reborn and attack their descendants in an endless cycle.
Especially in light of Aonuma's statement, this likely means that Ganondorf, and by extension, Ganon, is the personification of Demise's hatred. This is further evidenced by the fact that the form that Demise took when he was encountered by Link bore a striking resemblance to Ganondorf himself. Although Ganondorf makes no appearance, Calamity Ganon's facial appearance strikes heavy resemblance to the former, with large amounts of facial hair matching the color of Ganondorf from The Wind Waker and the gem found on his forehead.
It is possible Calamity Ganon may have been trying to reincarnate himself into Ganondorf but was interrupted by Link before he could finish. However Calamity Ganon retains Ganondorf's evil cunning and ability to turn the tables against his adversaries as shown by his corruption of ancient Sheikah technology that had defeated him previously even creating artificial phantoms of himself in the form of the four Scourges of the Divine Beasts.
Additionally like Ganondorf's ability to resurrect Zant, Calamity Ganon can resurrect slain enemies when his power reaches its peak during a Blood Moon. This effectively gives Calamity Ganon an immortal army though he is unable to revive his Scourges and doesn't revive Master Kohga though similar to Phantom Ganon this may have been punishment for failure as Kohga was extremely lazy and only confronted Link when he successfully infiltrated the Yiga Clan Hideout.
Additionally the Yiga Clan became far more aggressive and determined to avenge Kohga's death thus Ganon may have elected simply not to waste his power on resurrecting him as he was more useful to Ganon as a Yiga Clan martyr than when he was alive.
While Ganon's Gerudo origins seem to have been long forgotten he is referenced as a historical figure in the Zora Stone Monument that speaks of the Sage Princess Ruto though Ganondorf is not mentioned by name he is referred to as " an evil man with designs on ruling the world appeared, bring disaster upon Zora's Domain.
Additionally the Sword of the Six Sages wielded by Ganondorf in Twilight Princess appears as an unlockable weapon via use of the Ganondorf amiibo. Its in-game description reveals it was a holy sword created by the Ancient Sages to seal a demon king indicating it was apparently originally intended to execute and seal Ganondorf whom the sages presumably had discovered was the current Demon King around the time of his capture and failed execution.
His artificial phantom Phantom Ganon has a armor set based on his Ocarina of Time incarnation and the Phantom Ganon Armor and Phantom Ganon Greaves are identical to the clothing Ganondorf himself wore in Ocarina of Time which is not surprising as Phantom Ganon's clothing is essentially a replica of his master's and Ganondorf himself is referenced by his title the Great King of Evil in the set's description.
The title Great King of Evil is also referenced in Calamity Ganon's Hyrule Compendium description as one of the many titles Ganon has been known by over the centuries.
In Urbosa's Diary , Urbosa shows awareness of Ganon's Gerudo origins and as a result holds Calamity Ganon with utter hatred and contempt considering the Gerudo's kinship with an evil that has brought so much suffering and calamity to Hyrule as a stain on Gerudo honor even feeling it as her duty as Gerudo Chieftain to oppose him as Gerudo Champion despite her own people being against her fighting Calamity Ganon rightly fearing for her safety. Urbosa also seems to hold Nabooru in high regard for opposing Ganondorf's rule with the Gerudo people having since long given up thievery and engaging in trade with other races though laws prohibiting males in Gerudo Town are strictly enforced though females of all races are welcome with both the Queen and Princess of Hyrule having often visited their before the Great Calamity showing that the Royal Family of Hyrule has built strong diplomatic ties with the Gerudo showing that Ganondorf's actions against the Royal Family of Hyrule has not caused them to discriminate against the Gerudo people though this may have been helped by Ganon's relation to the Gerudo being largely forgotten.
Urbosa seems to be the only Gerudo aware of the ancient Gerudo King and his connection to the infinite evil that is Calamity Ganon. Princess Zelda possesses awareness of Ganondorf and Ganon's origins as well though it is unclear if this is common knowledge among the Royal Family of Hyrule or if she acquired it through her friendship with Urbosa.
Rhondson notes currently no Gerudo "Voe" men like Ganondorf himself exist thus it is unclear if they still become King or if Ganondorf's actions have caused the Gerudo to put a end to that tradition however the law forbidding men from Gerudo Town is stated to apply to all Voe which would include Gerudo voe whom presumably would be forced to live in Kara Kara Bazaar or with Hylian relatives.
It is also confirmed that without Gerudo males, Gerudo females reproduce with Hylian men indicating Ganondorf's father was likely a Hylian as he was the first male born to the tribe in a century according to Ocarina of Time. This along with him being destined to become King due to being male could have also have influenced Ganondorf's coveting of the fertile homeland of his Hylian father as Ganondorf despite being a special individual worshipped like a god among his tribe was relegated to living with them in the harsh desert land of Hyrule.
In the E3 teaser for the game, Zelda and Link discover a mummified Gerudo corpse with an ethereal green arm touching his chest, with Malice being attracted to it. The corpse then revives itself and turns to Zelda as beastly eyes emerge from its sockets. It is heavily implied that this corpse was the remains of Ganondorf. Ganondorf himself could also be seen in a bas relief briefly, depicting him as a violent warlord. Subseries warning : This article or section contains information on a subseries within the Legend of Zelda series and should be considered part of its own separate canon.
Ganondorf appears as a playable character in the spinoff game Hyrule Warriors. His appearances from Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess are available as alternate costumes via downloadable content. His primary appearance in the game is a mixture between his appearance in Twilight Princess and Demise, and he shares Demise's title, "The Demon King"; Ganondorf's 3rd-level weapons are the Swords of Demise , further displaying the connection.
Ganondorf wields a pair of massive Great Swords in conjunction with his dark magic. In Hyrule Warriors , Ganondorf is revealed to be the one responsible for Cia 's corruption, and thus acts as the true main antagonist of the game. In the backstory, his soul had been split into four fragments and sealed across time and space by a previous incarnation of the legendary hero.
By corrupting Cia and removing the light from her heart, Ganondorf influences Cia to collect the Triforce and open the Gate of Souls , linking it to the dimensions where three of his soul fragments are sealed. This releases the soul fragments from their prisons, restoring the Demon King's physical body. Ganondorf also appears in Hyrule Warriors Legends.
In addition to his Great Swords, he gains a Trident as his new alternative weapon moveset. The game also features a new alternate costume based on the clothes he wore in The Wind Waker , which is fitting, given the appearance of various The Wind Waker characters Tetra , Toon Link , Medli , and Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule appearing as playable characters in Hyrule Warriors Legends. In addition, though he himself does not appear in the new The Wind Waker storyline due to his defeat beforehand, his phantom from The Wind Waker era acts as the central antagonist for the storyline.
Subseries warning : Subseries information ends here. Non-canon warning : This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of the Legend of Zelda series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline.
Ganondorf's role was overall the same as in the game. However, his first appearance had him eavesdropping on Link and Zelda in the Hyrule Castle Courtyard, as well as, while he apologized for his eavesdropping, it implied that he may have sent the Gerudo after Zelda while the latter was disguised in Hyrule Castle Town.
Ganondorf later appeared after Link got the Zora's Sapphire, where he attempted to corner Zelda and Impa at the burning castle while stating that Zelda "will experience eternal sleep with her father" in it, which implied that he had, by that point, murdered her father. He also ended up stealing Link's Fairy Ocarina, under the mistaken impression that it was the Ocarina of Time. Ganondorf did not realize that mistake until seven years had passed, upon which he crushed the ocarina in his hand.
Ganondorf also had Sheik serve him. When Ingo failed to ensure that Epona was supplied to him, Ganondorf initially intended to have him executed for his failure, although he relented after Koume and Kotake instead suggested that they brainwash him. Ganondorf eventually imprisoned Zelda inside a Crystal , and took her to his castle.
During the inevitable fight with Link, Ganondorf used a sword with magical powers to overpower him, and sought to finish him off with his ultimate spell. Link was able to use the Spin Attack to deflect the spell back at Ganondorf, which stunned him long enough for Link to cut him down. A wounded Ganondorf then attempted to bring the castle down on Link and Zelda.
When that failed, Ganondorf turned into Ganon. Ganon was able to knock the Master Sword out of Link's hand, but Zelda was able to throw it back to the hero. Link promptly cut off Ganon's Tail while declaring that he is Ganon's opponent with determination, brought him down to his knees with a vertical slash, and thrust his sword into the beast's face.
Invoking the power of the Sages, Zelda was able to seal Ganondorf away. Ganondorf was one of the candidates for the best villain in the Nintendo franchises, and won the category.
In a letter to Nintendo Power about the choice, the editors jokingly stated that the other Nintendo villains are planning to arrange a "going away party" for him involving "cement shoes and a really deep lake. Ganondorf largely has the same role as in the game, although his being banished into the Twilight Realm by the Ancient Sages is depicted in a significantly more graphic manner, where it shows his skin and flesh being violently ripped off his bones as he is sealed away.
His influence on Zant was also indirectly alluded to in the prologue. For unknown reasons, an unfinished model of Ganondorf exists in the game's coding, along with unfinished models of Impa and Sheik. The name of the files indicates that they may have been planned to appear in the Swamp Fishing Hole and Ocean Fishing Hole , but were scrapped. It is possible that he would have been a Terminan counterpart of Ganondorf.
Concept Art included in Hyrule Historia contained Concept Artwork of Ganondorf in the section for Oracle of Ages and Seasons , which implied that Ganon was originally intended to appear in his human form for part of the game. No mention of Ganondorf as a human remained in the final version of the game. Ganondorf's design was largely similar to his appearance in Ocarina of Time , only he instead wore black-and-red robes with a raised collar, a belt depicting a fanged skull, as well as wearing a vest similar to his outfit from Ocarina of Time, as well as pointed shoes.
It was possible that he was intended to be the main villain for the cancelled The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Seed of Courage , which was intended to be a sequel to both Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Ganondorf was a playable character for the first time in Super Smash Bros. To unlock him, the player must beat Event Match 29 or play VS.
Mode matches. His moves are almost exactly the same as Captain Falcon's, but he is slower and more powerful. His Fair and Up Tilt are some of the few moves that are different. His physical appearance is based on the design used in the Space World Demo , and wields the same sword used in the demo in one of his victory poses, even though he does not use it in battle.
