    The Ganondorf sword fight in Twilight Princess is not only my favorite Ganon battle, it’s one of my favorite boss fights in all of Zelda. Just something about facing Ganon alone and relying on the hidden sword skills, locking blades with him, or even using the fishing rod to distract him. And then stabbing him in the heart and seeing him perish while standing is one of the most epic moments I’ve ever seen in Zelda history.

    If you notice in BotW, each of the blights in the divine beasts had the header "Scourge of [location]". After TotK was announced and I replayed BotW, I noticed that Calamity Ganon had the same header:
    "Scourge of Hyrule Castle"
    So even the Calamity was still just another puppet of Ganondorf's, just like the blights.
    And I think that's neat.
    The eyeballs in all of the Malice that wouldn't open until Link was near them also match Mummydorf's eyes perfectly. So... like... I guess those Malice eyeballs were Mummydorf's creepy CCTV?

    • @Wolfboss7
      @Wolfboss7 2 дня назад

      I always saw the Scourge titles as representations that Ganondorf's become something akin to an infection, or a computer virus given the cyborg nature of the Scourges and Calamity Ganon himself. In that light, I guess ToTK Ganondorf is the "creator," right down to sitting around in his dark room. It'd be a hell of a funny idea if the Malice eyeballs really were like CCTV cameras with Ganondorf tracking Link's progress. Maybe that's an idea that could crop up in a future game.

    • @Chris-gx1ei
      @Chris-gx1ei День назад +1

      According to what we see in Japanese, Calamity Ganon is not actually a puppet but rather Ganondorf's Vengeful Spirit.
      The Reason he Switches from Gloom to Malice is also explained by that, Gloom/Miasma is his true Power of bringing Death with his unholy Darkness while Malice/Onnen represents his huge ammount of Wrath that drives his Spirit to Madness

    • @WindMageMaster
      @WindMageMaster День назад

      @Chris-gx1ei Yeah. Even in the English version of TotK, Impa says Calamity Ganon is a rebirth of the Demon King through hatred. Fans seem to keep saying “It’s a surge of power” or “a puppet” but that’s not the case. Calamity Ganon is a full rebirth and just like any other Ganon/Ganondorf- all are born via hatred manifest- except by the time of BotW, his rebirth cycle has spiraled into chaos, causing him to be reborn as a calamity instead of man or beast.

      It’s cool seeing how Ganondorf matured after his defeat in the adult time line to watch him completely crumble after everything he was working for fail in WW to seeing how he reacts after not reaching the heights he did in WW in TP. Both still master scheming in both games tho.

  • @Wolfboss7
    @Wolfboss7 2 дня назад +8

    Personally, I'd give it to TP Ganondorf over ToTK. The long sequential fight where it tests Link (and the player) in different ways ending in a straight up sword duel is still my favorite.

  • @iancomtois9832
    @iancomtois9832 2 часа назад

    The actual action of fighting Ganon in OoT isn't much to write home about. He can swing his swords horizontally, you hit him in the tail, lather rinse repeat. You don't even need Light Arrows if you dodge well enough. But the ambience, the darkness that prevents you from even really seeing his awful Koosalagoopagoop nose, losing the Master Sword for the first half, the ring of fire, having just gotten out of a harrowing escape sequence, Zelda's gasps of dismay whenever you take a hit, his monstrous screeches, and the cinematic final attack and sealing sequence, all push that fight to the pinnacle of a final boss battle...in every way except gameplay, which means I can't rate it higher than fifth. The graphics don't hold up that well either, but that's actually part of the charm with the aforementioned darkness throughout the fight.

  • @darkdragonmedeus705
    @darkdragonmedeus705 День назад +1

    Note: Calamity Ganon was simply a common Phantom Ganon, so technically that one shouldn't count via the video's rules. Though Demise should count since he was the OG Ganon/Ganondorf
    10) Original LoZ (Too easy)
    9) Wind Waker (Overrated tbh, and far too easy)
    8) Oracle of Ages/Seasons (Still an easy version of ALttP but still a huge improvement over the OG)
    7) YuGanon from ALBW (May be easy, but seeing the fusion was really creative and the final attack was quite the show)
    6) Ocarina of Time (So much build up visuals even if the actual fight is easy as crap)
    5) Twilight Princess (A cinematic spectacle and fun boss even if low difficulty)
    4) A Link to the Past (This was my real classic childhood favorite; and back when he was actually pretty damn hard)
    3) Four Swords Adventure (It was really fun to fight how massive he was and as a group)
    2) Demise (This was the true original Ganon/Ganondorf, and was a badass final boss fight)
    1) Tears of the Kingdom (No contest)

  • @WindMageMaster
    @WindMageMaster День назад +3

    I find myself mostly agreeing with this list. Especially with OoT, TWW, and TotK being the top 3. Not only are those his best battles overall, but those are his best 3 appearances in the series hands down. TP handled Ganondorf poorly in its story, but his Dark Beast & Sword fight were epic and deserve their spot at #4 as the runner up.
    Ganon (as a beast or calamity) has yet to be as interesting as Ganondorf, but regardless, BotW is the only time I felt let down by a final battle in a Zelda game. The first phase was a good start, but the Dark Beast fight was very underwhelming. I wouldn’t rank it the worst on a technical level, but I had far greater expectations.

    There are bosses in Zelda I've found harder or more frustrating. But none more thrilling than TOTK Ganondorf. The first phase isn't too tough, but that second phase! The doubled health bar. The repeated flurry rushes. The ability to completely remove hearts! Probably my favorite boss fight of any Zelda game.
    And while the Demon Dragon is super easy, it's still a great spectacle. You've sealed Ganondorf, stabbed him, and burned him away. But has he ever straight up EXPLODED like that before?

  • @kiekiefall2953
    @kiekiefall2953 День назад

    Twilight Princess should have been higher up. The only reason you had issues with beast ganon is because it was you’re supposed to do that fight as Wolf link.. when Ganon comes out of the portals midna is able to grab his head and throw him onto his side, revealing his weak spot. The twilight Princess Ganondorf boss fight offers 4 styles of battle you have learned along your journey so is really the perfect finale.

    TOTK’s Ganondorf is rather easy. All you have to do it Flurry Rush his first and second phases, and the final phase is just you diving from the Light Dragon to Ganondragon to take him out. A Link to the Past’s Ganon should actually be ranked in the top three, because that Ganon can summon fireballs before spinning his trident, and it can often occur after some tiles on the floor disappear. If you fall into the gap, you go to the first floor of the dungeon, which will reset the fight.

    Even as someone who enjoys Four Swords Adventures, Ganon should not be that high, at least not above the Link to the Past one. His fight is very substandard.
    TP, OoT, and LTTP are kinda the holy trinity of Ganon fights. High stakes, high pressure, great setup, and they each have multiple forms/stages.
    Wind Waker Ganondorf and Yuga Ganon are both also solid, but they're mostly carried by the atmosphere.
    Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf is a fun boss fight for a first time. Afterwards he gets easily cheesed because his patterns are usually the same and the fuse mechanic breaks the game to an obscene level.
    Honestly, I think TotK Ganondorf is usually so highly rated because it's just a step up from BotWs Ganon. Shock value aside, it's a pretty meh boss fight. If anything, the setup is great and that's it.
