He managed to posses the wielder of the triforce of wisdom, beat the ancient magic of the twilight realm, and still went 3 rounds with the hero of time. Imo, he is the strongest Ganon of the series by a mile. Then again I haven’t ever played link to the past so I can’t comment on the last one.

    Interesting tidbit about Twilight Princess Ganondorf. The only reason Link and Midna can hurt him in his beast form is because of the wound left by the Sages, and if you do actually get close enough to hit on horseback before Zelda shoots him with a Light Arrow, then the Master Sword won't have any effect.
    It's fairly common for Link to need help against Ganondorf, in this game the fights with him would be outright unwinnable if weren't injured or if Link were on his own.

    Power is not “the dark side.” There is no dark side when it comes to the triforce. It is quite literally beyond good and evil. Just because it is the part most commonly used by evil, that doesn’t make it evil itself. In fact ganon has possessed every piece of the triforce at some point in the timeline.

Ganon curses Hyrule. Years past Sages have descendant which are the maidens, Zelda (Oot) had a descendant herself which is Zelda (LTTP). Ganon creates Avatar of himself which his name is Agahnim.

      Majora is a weird case.
      It has absolute power in a very narrow spectrum. Dumped all of its stat points in one place, and got more by taking a bunch of flaws, so to speak. It has a very good trick, but I don't actually think it's all that strong in a well rounded sense.
      I mean, think about it. Its true form was killed by a kid with a pigsticker, and/or one of three more or less unremarkable members of the other races.
      No need for a special blade, a weapon forged by the gods, a titanic wrestling match, or a mighty, arcane seal of power. Just straight up prison shanked by a twelve year old, bish bash bosh, and the evil is gone forever.
      And then it gets worn as an accessory in BotW or used as a tasteful wall piece in Link Between Worlds. When was the last time anyone wore Ganondorf as an accessory, or pinned up Vaati on the wall? They wouldn't stand for that, but Majora can't stand at all. Dumped its leg stat for more attack.

      Calamity Ganon was powerful enough in Breath of the Wild and was able to create enough malice to take control of the Guardians and Divine Beasts, granting him possibly the strongest army of any Ganon or Ganondorf. In the trailer, it seemed like all that malice was coming from Ganondorf's corpse. If his power was able to create Calamity Ganon, take control over the Guardians and have as much of an effect on Hyrule as it did, we can only imagine what he'll be capable of in the sequel. He must rank somewhere near the top.

    Nowadays, we can infer from the TotK trailer that Calamity Ganon is purely a construct of unimaginable amounts of malice, rather than Ganondorf himself, who is sealed underground with unknown magic, possibly magic of the Goddesses.
    Within his seal, if we assume the information we have been given in BotW's lore is consistent across Calamities, it takes him 10,000 years to build up enough malice to unleash one Calamity.
    It seems obvious that he can receive information from Calamity Ganon despite Calamity Ganon acting autonomously and with its own intelligence, seeing as he learned from the last, failed attempt which ended in Calamity Ganon getting completely obliterated, and came up with a plan to get the jump on Hyrule this time around.
    Despite being without the Triforce of Power, and despite merely being a product of malice produced by Ganondorf, and despite the fact that that product of malice had to act without any help from Ganondorf courtesy of the mysterious hand keeping him sealed tightly, it is still an absolute beast, and is extraordinarily powerful and certainly nothing to be trifled with.
    In addition, seeing as he is a construct of malice, it is clear now why he could not be destroyed without Zelda's powers: it was too much malice to be destroyed by the Bow of Light or the Master Sword alone, and so Zelda needed to use her powers to erase this colossal amount of malice from existence, as the malice can apparently act even with much of it destroyed, seeing as it can split apart and each part can act of its own accord. All of it needed to be destroyed, and Zelda's powers are the only thing that can erase that much malice from existence.
    Calamity Ganon is truly a powerful entity, potentially one of the most powerful in the series.

      After fighting calamity Ganon in age of calamity, I’d say that is when Ganon was at his strongest, if you count calamity Ganon as a form of Ganon. It took link, Zelda, impa, the king, all the champions, and all the champions successors to defeat him. And that was only after terrako sacrificed itself to weaken calamity Ganon. If terrako hadn’t done that, they would have lost.

    Now that TOTK is out there can be no denying this Ganondorf is the strongest. The Secret Stone seems to have fully restored the dark power he held as Demise. Even when shriveled up, he transformed the world when he caused the Upheaval. He destroyed the Master Sword with a single shot. It took 10k years for it to recover and be at the level where it can match Ol’ Dorf.

      As we know, this Ganondorf is the closest to his original Demise form, which means his power is overwhelming, he had the entire kingdom at the bottom of his heel. He had everything in the world in a tight chokehold. It’s not even fair. The only disadvantage is I don’t think he has the Triforce of Power.

    The way I see it, due to The Hero of Time's time travel shenanigans, he was sent back to the past with his Triforce of Courage. This caused an imbalance, making the Triforce of Courage from the past disappear, and the Wisdom and Power pieces going to Zelda and Ganondorf respectively. This'd explain how Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power during his banishment in Twilight Princess.

      I’m thoroughly convinced that TotK Ganondorf is going to be a Lich or a Lich-equivalent being, meaning that his spirit would be unkillable unless his phylactery is found and destroyed. Ganondorf is clearly seen to be highly proficient in necromancy (blood moons in BotW are massive resurrection events and are the best example of his necromantic abilities), which is necessary for becoming a Lich. It would also explain the line in BotW saying Ganon gave up on reincarnation, implying he has at least searched for immortality. I think this also explains why in the TotK trailers Ganondorf is a mummified corpse. Liches are the highest form of undead, retaining all of their living memories and intelligence while taking the form of a skeletal or mummified body.

    @EvenanSieirim Год назад +12

    The opening scene of TotK kinda made it clear that the BotW/TotK Ganon is the strongest we’ve seen. Not even considering what he did during that intro cutscene, you need to acknowledge this: throughout BotW, Ganondorf’s human form is trapped underneath Hyrule Castle. But his evil magic is seeping out into the world still, manifesting as Calamity Ganon. Calamity Ganon took control of the divine beasts, beat Link and was held back for 100 years by Zelda so Link could revive and return to save a destroyed kingdom. Calamity Ganon nearly won and he was just a projection of a sealed Ganondorf. He didn’t even recognize Link in the opening cutscene despite his aspect having been banished by Link in the previous game. Your video didn’t cover that because we didn’t have the information yet, but I don’t think there’s any Ganon who can touch the sheer power of BotW/TotK Ganondorf who can nearly destroy Hyrule and only be narrowly defeated all accidentally while unconscious and imprisoned, unaware it’s even happening. TotK showed us the man behind the earthquake who’s very existence is a threat even when he’s “defeated”.

Well it all depends how he will be in the Game. For all we know they could go fully for creepy. That Ganandorf stays a Mummie but will, overtime enhance his Bodey with Shieka Technologie until he is a Cybernetic abomination of flesh, malice and cybernetics. Kinda like his Spider form in the first Game but even MORE terrefying and unsettling.

    Something important to remember is that the full Triforce grants ALTTP Ganon protection from the Master Sword, even when upgraded twice. All other instances of Ganon(dorf) who faced the Master Sword were finished by the Blade of Evil's Bane itself. Not so with ALTTP Ganon. The blade merely stuns him for a few seconds, forcing the Hero of Legend to use 5 Silver Arrows to send Ganon to his grave. Protection from the Master Sword is an ability all other instances of the Demon King only wish they could have.

That is, unless the lights are turned back on. Shrouded in darkness he is completely impervious to any damage. A bit more than just turning off the lights I'd say.

  • @thestellarvoid9529
    @thestellarvoid9529 2 года назад +9

    I can 200% agree that Link to the Past Ganon is the most powerful Ganon. Few Ganons ever came close to the sheer power shown in LTTP's Ganon and those guys were terrifying in their own right. LTTP Ganon was literally 1 step away from legit total victory. He was powerful enough to nearly bring the end times with just the triforce of power years before he even reshaped the sacred realm and kidnapped the descendants of the sages. Imagine being so powerful that even the guardians of the sacred realm and the literal people destined to wield and safeguard the triforce can't beat you. This guy beat Hyrule twice, once as Ganondorf and a second time as Agahnim, and he had complete control over the sacred realm too. He had complete dominion over Hyrule and its forces while being imprisoned, had complete control over the triforce, corrupted the sacred realm to the point he was pretty much god, and banished/killed every single one of the sages descendants with the exception of Zelda. No lie this dude was 99/100. He was the closest any Ganon got to a flawless victory. And what's even more terrifying is this is the same Ganon seen in Ocarina of Time which means this is the SECOND time he faces Link. I can't actually think of a logical reason why Ganon in LTTP lost, tbh. Like outside of the plot demanding Link wins I don't see how Ganon could have lost. He had literally everything. Only reason why he was 99/100 wasn't because of his power but because he just didn't manage to get Zelda banished in time. I mean, Ganon even says he's in disbelief Link manages to beat him.

    I would like to see a bad guy kinda like Gannon in OOT, but a bit different as well. I wanna see a bad guy take over and actually use his power to make things better, (like many baddies usually claim to want) at least on the surface. Kinda like a Kim Jun Un, who makes it appear things are great and people are happy, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll find some really bad stuff.
    That way, even though we are the good guy, many of the regular people in the story will see us as the bad guy. Then you have to expose the evil underneath the surface, which will only get some of the people on your side while the rest stay brainwashed or choose to stay because it benefited them personally, even if it's been bad for some. You'll have to start sneaky, then build a resistance movement once you get some support.
    I think it would be a cool and nuanced story. And obviously, it doesn't have to be a LOZ game, I'm just using Ganon as an example, because he takes over Hyrule multiple times.but

We also know that Ganon doesn't have his triforce so it's a hypothesis I suppose. You could say if she had the full triforce she would of been able to defeat Ganon without having to seal him, which is probably true. And that also calls into regard of the triforce of courage. Though understanding where or what sealing magic is or comes from besides just from the triforce of wisdom is confusing. As if the triforce of wisdom possessed all the power to seal a being like Ganon away, wouldn't she of been able to do it by herself in Ocarina of Time? Instead of having to use the sages to assist?

    Never really noticed it but there's so many Post-Apocalyptic Zelda games. It's kinda scarry. I sure wouldn't wanna live in Hyrule. I also feel kind of bad for Ganon for how often he is defeated by having a sword or arrow stuck into his head.
    But in my opinion, BotW Calamity Ganon is probably the most powerfull Ganon. Even without the Triforce of Power, he was basically immortal, he had titanic powers that i'm sure would easily overpower any of the other ganons, and while he definitely wasn't as intelligent as other ganons... he won. He flatout won. Yeah Link was ressurrected. But he was fataly injured, the king was dead, the champions dead, the land laid to waste, not only the Hylians but all of the sentient beeings in Hyrule were nearly eradicated, and even Zelda was only able to slow him down by putting him and herself in stasis, WHILE WIELDING THE COMPLETE TRIFORCE NONTHELESS. And again, he basically killed Link once.
    He is also the only Ganon who could not be defeated by traditional means. All the others, including the King Ganon from A Link to the Past who owned all of the Tri-Force were defeated with a magic item, be it Silver or Light Arrows or the Master Sword. But Calamity Ganon? He wasn't. In his Half-Ressurected Form the Master Sword still damaged him, but when he became Malice Incarnated even the Master Sword, even the Light Arrows were useless. The only way to defeat him was to basically wish him dead via Tri-Force. That means all mortals and all they had to offer was powerless against this beeing. Only by using the most omni-potent, almighty tool of the goddesses were they able to finally destroy him.
    I don't know about you but in my book, if you face a foe who is so powerfull that you can only turn to the gods, to send you a magic device that grants any wish, so you can wish that foe dead because there literally doesn't exist any way to beat him in your world, then that is the most powerfull enemy you can possibly face.
    My personal favorite is probably the Windwaker one. But there's no question that Calamity Ganon is the most dangerous and strongest one.

    I think Tears of the Kingdom Ganon might be the strongest Ganondorf we fought

    Which Ganon do you think is the strongest?
    Also, I didn't rank Demise - though he's sort of the father of all Ganons, he's not a Ganon if we're being strict :P

      Demise is technically the original, no? He's the one that brings the cycle of reincarnation to begin with.

      @@Zeltik Is it explained that each incarnation afterwards is only the embodiment of his hatred? I'm pretty sure it's Demise himself seeing as each Ganon has a Demon King form reminiscent of Demis' demon form with their human forms obviously being the same as his humanoid form that he fights SS Link in.
