Phantom Ganon

Phantom Ganon is Ganondorf's mysterious puppet and appears in Ocarina of Time.

Phantom Ganon guards the Forest Temple. As Link enters the boss's room, he sees many identical paintings on the wall of a road leading to a dark castle; Phantom Ganon jumps into one of them with his horse. After disappearing, two Phantom Ganons ride to the front of the painting, and a purple hole appears in one of them, which is the one the real Phantom Ganon will jump out of. As he jumps out, Link shoots him with an arrow from the Fairy Bow. After taking sufficient damage, he will leave his horse.

He now starts to attack by shooting an energy ball at Link. Link hits the ball back with the Master Sword. Repeated enough times, Phantom Ganon will eventually be hit and fall to the ground paralyzed. He is then hit multiple times with the Master Sword, and after enough hits, he will be defeated. Link then gains a Heart Container and the Forest Medallion. As for Phantom Ganon, Ganondorf banishes him to the area between dimensions.
