1 2 3 4 5 6 7 “ I am Ganondorf, the Demon King. Don't take that title lightly. „ ~ Ganondorf “ Shadow has been moved by light it seems… How amusing… „ ~ Ganondorf “ Join me Link, and I will make your face the greatest in Koradai, or else you will die! „ ~ Ganon “ No! Not into the pit! It burns! „ ~ Ganon “ The wind.... It is blowing... „ ~ Ganon “ Foolish child. While that sword is indeed the blade of evil's bane, at the same time, it has long played another role... You see, it is also a sort of key... a most wretched little key that has kept that seal on me and my magic intact! By withdrawing the blade, you have broken that seal... „ ~ Ganondorf to Link in The Wind Waker “ You cannot defeat me with a blade that does not sparkle with the power to repel evil, what you hold is useless. „ ~ Ganondorf to Link in The Wind Waker

Ganondorf Dragmire is Link's arch-nemesis and the main antagonist of the Legend of Zelda franchise. He starred in the 59th episode of DEATH BATTLE!, Bowser VS Ganon, where he fought against Bowser of the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

History

Long ago, on the verge of defeat, the demon king Demise foretold the coming of an incarnation of his wrath who would continuously plague the descendants of the mortal incarnation of Hylia and her champion for all time. This would come to pass when a boy is born among the women of the Amazonian tribe known as the Gerudo: Ganondorf. Having been taught in the ways of Gerudo thievery and magic, Ganondorf became the Gerudo king and attempted to claim the Triforce from the Hyrulian Royal family, whose first-born princesses are named after their family's founding mother Zelda, Hylia's mortal form. As a result, he came to be known as many titles that include "Demon King" or "Ganon". But in all three timelines that diverge from his initial attempt, Ganondorf faced opposition from generations of heroes named after the first Zelda's champion: Link.
