Ganondorf Dragmire, also known as Ganon in his demonic form, is the main antagonist of the 2014 hack and slash game Hyrule Warriors.
The Great King of Evil, he is wielder of the Triforce of Power and the eternal archenemy of Link and Princess Zelda. Originally sealed away, he manipulates Cia into unleashing darkness upon not just Hyrule, but across several timelines and realities of it. After he becomes free, he takes his rightful place as leader of the army of monsters and sets out to rule Hyrule once and for all, or see it burned to ashes.
He was voiced by Taiten Kusunoki, who also voiced Rokuro in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, M. Bison in Street Fighter 6, Heihachi Mishima in Tekken 8, Zommari Rureaux in Bleach and Burning Spice Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
Personality[]
This incarnation of Ganondorf is one of his most aggressive and violent. By his actions, death and destruction is unleashed on several timelines, not caring how many realities are potentially ruined or destroyed so long as it means he can achieve victory in his own. Exceptionally cruel and cunning, he manipulated Cia to his own ends and casually discarded her once her usefulness ran out, and expected absolute loyalty from both Ghirahim and Zant less he murders them for their failure, showing that every one of his minions was expendable. Obsessed with gaining the Triforce and taking its power for himself, when he succeeds his evil increased dramatically, and when his back is to the wall, he demonstrates how far he's willing to go; After the forces of Hyrule force him into his last stand, he no longer cares about ruling Hyrule, and would rather see it reduced to nothingness by his own hand.
Trivia[]
- This is the first playable version of Ganondorf within the Zelda universe.
- He is the first and only incarnation of Ganondorf so far to have threatened multiple different timelines simultaneously.
- He is possibly the inspiration for the design of Calamity Ganon, as he summons a manifestation of Ganon that looks nearly identical to it despite Hyrule Warriors being released 3 years before Breath of the Wild.
