Favorite Antagonist

[firebunnies123]

what is your favorite antagonist in the zelda series. There are many throughout the game but the main one is ganon/ganondorf. His name just brings chills to ur spine. Ganon is the best at the job. Just look at all the games he is the antagonist: loz,lttp,la (if you count the nightmare),Oot, Oos,Ooa, windwaker, and tp. He is just beast. So there are others like vaati, bellum, Agahnim, zant, and dark link/ shadow link.

whos ur favorite?

[zeypherlink]

First of all...Ganon and Ganondorf are the same person. Secondly, you can't count Aghnaim as the main antagonist of ALttP, because Ganon(dorf) was. Same thing for Zant in TP...
Aside from Ganon(dorf), I'm gonna say Vaati. Bellum was pretty...dumb.

[Avenged]

LOL yeah Ganondorf is his human form while Ganon is his beast form...Aside from Ganon....I would say Thunderbird and Shadow Link from AoL.

[linkman8]

Ganondorf is a classic, love to hate him, kind of bad-guy. That's why he would get my vote.
Vaati was pretty cool too, but he only makes appearances in a couple of games. Agahnim wasn't that great of an antagonist.

[firebunnies123]

yeah i know ganon and ganondorf are the same person. Thats why I put it together. I never said ganon and ganondorf were different people. Also I never said Aghnaim was the main antagonist of alttp. I just said he was an antagonist. Same for zant.

Yeah, I know. Just pointing it out to future people who might post here and get confused...then we have to Gannon-Ban them ;)

I would say Thunderbird and Shadow Link from AoL.
Hmm forgot about them. I didn't really like Thunderbird, but Shadow Link was cool.

what about the skull kid in mm? i don't know why but i thoght he was cool, but gannon is my absolute favorite of course

the mask made skullkid evil

but ame here, ganondorf is my fave, i love his evil laughter

[Mehplep]

Even though the mask is the big antagonist in MM, I just need to pick Skull Kid. He just looks so pathetic to devastate Termina like that... well, he is pathetic. The Mask is the big thing... anywho, I like him as a antagonist. An unwilling antagonist, a puppet!

But mainly, it's because of his look. Without the Mask, he looks kind... but with the mask, oh gosh, teh evilness.

[Smitie]

Ganondorf is my favourite. His evil looks and countless attempts to rule/destroy the world makes him the best antagonist.

[zeypherlink]

Just so you know, its spelled Ganon <.< (http://gannon-banned.com)

I wouldn't consider Skull Kid an antagonist, but Majora's Mask certainly is.

1. Ganon/Ganondorf, always been a classic always will be. And completely and utterly fun to fight.

2. Vaati, haven't played many games with him, but still good from what I have.

3. Bellum, the most boring of them all. :(

[Fierce_Deity]

Let us not forget Veran and Onox from the Oracle games. Veran was mischievous and exceptionally malevolent and evil. She utilized her powers, exploited Nayru and Queen Ambi, and committed various bad deeds, unlike the cliche and lackluster Onox, who sat in his castle (which was, in my opinion, much easier and more dull than the black tower) throughout the entire game, not making any appearances besides Din's kidnapping and the final battle. I can honestly say I could not recall his name or really remember what he looked like during my first playthrough of Oracle of Seasons until confronting him in his castle.

[dark_link01]

Ganon as his pig/beast form. There are some drawings of Ganon fighting Link from the original games which make him just seam a lot more evil and demonic than him as a human. Aside from him, Dark Link is my favorite. His mysterious presence makes him a very memorable enemy.

[Jirrup]

1. Ganon - He's the main man. None of the other villains have such devious things going for them.
2. Vaati - Though he was a pathetic blob in the Four Swords games, he's almost as wicked as Ganondorf in The Minish Cap. I'd love to turn people into hats for the hell of it.
3. Veran - As Fierce_Deity rightly pointed out, she's one of the most impressive villains there is.
4. Majora - The others desired for power, it desired for destruction. It also had a moon. However, it's second form was ridiculous.
5. Zant - More of a clown than Majora's Incarnation. He would've been quite high up had it not been for his anticlimactic fight. He was also a weak pawn of Ganon.
6. Onox - He sat in a castle and happily did jack s*** while Link restored Holodrum.
7. Bellum - Oh please. He's a squid. He sucks. He didn't really have much influence. It's not like he caused a kingdom to flood, be infested with monsters, have its ruler brainwashed, get hit by the moon, turn into perpetual twilight or have seasons out of place. He turned a whale into an old man. Speaking of whales...
8. Dethl - He wanted to take over an imaginary island ruled by a whale in a pink spotted egg. Pathetic. He also kept people alive by existing.

I say, if we can say the Mask then I say...the Triforce. As shown in ALttP is that it turns a lot of peoples greed against them whether it be turning them into a tree or whatnot. If it wasnt for the Triforce, we wouldnt have Ganon. So in that case, the piece of Power is more so.

While the tree point is valid, the Triforce is a neutral object. It's a relic that knows no good from evil. If it were a villain, it wouldn't go reviving dead people such as Link's Uncle and the King of Hyrule.

[Avenged]

That was Links wish. I didnt say it was a villain, but it can be used for evil.

[Forlong]

Agahnim. He was the second major Zelda villan I was introduced to. No prize for guessing who the first is.

[El Bagu]

I really like Shadow Link, I think he is one of the main reasons I love Zelda so much! Dark Link would also be a favorite of mine if he had not been that easy to defeat, I succedded the first time (which maybe is normal?).

[Twili123prince]

Vaati is one of my favorites but also zant.

[Y2K3]

Seeing as how I've only faced 3 (Ganon(dorf), Majora, and Zant), it's not too hard a pick.
Ganon(dorf) wins, hands down. Though, the battles with Majora and Zant were fun, I have to say.

[EponaOwns]

Skull kid!(He is a good dancer when you battle him)

[Inflexus]

Skull Kid: Technically invincible in Ocarina of Time.

I wish the Zelda series had a Tonberry-esk character, because that would be better than any villain so far.

[Avenged]

You never fought Skull Kid in OoT idiot.

[Inflexus]

You never fought Skull Kid in OoT idiot.

Try when you walk in to where you learned Saria's song as an adult after the cucco guy has left. He'll either fight or run, depending on if you hit him or not. And his attack penetrates armor, I believe. He uses his flute for blow darts.

[blackice_cc]

Ganondorf is the best, by far. He has the evil laugh, the insane evil power, the immortality, the ruthlessness of any up to par antagonist, etc. He's just the best, and the most classic.

[Glided Sword]

Vaati is my favorite (if you couldn't tell).

[Hylian Hobbit]

I gotta go with Ganondorf. You can't beat the classics.

[Ace_Strife]

Ganondorf seemed so one dimensional, so I go with Vaati. His shallowness can be attributed to mind controlling of the cap whereas Ganondorf's got no excuse.

But then, vaati's a new age cliche... he's not this muscular, short-haired, upper class figure we saw in all the old games (such as ganondorf, the original bowser, bosses from fighting games and old rpgs such as the demon king from Dragon Warrior), but a silver haired, skinny, rather young and orphaned-as-a-kid figure who seeks power due to resentment...

I guess I like my cliches...

[Stella3000]

I'd have to say Dark Link. I think Ganon is a bit overdone, and I don't really care for every one else. This is not to say I don't enjoy killing Ganon.

[blackice_cc]

Well, that's not completely true, he has the Triforce of power. I also did like Vaati, but only because it was something different. From your description, he sounds kind of like a Zelda Voldamort though, lol, which I suppose he kind of is. Anyways, I still like Ganondorf more.

[Skull_Kid]

Vaati is cool:P
even though he looks a bit emo-ish in MC.
Bellum's not that bad..like his first form with all those squirming tentacles

[LoZfan]

I thinhk a perfect group of antagonists would be Gannondorf and Vatti. with gannon's insane powers and vatti's shallowness, Hyrule would be in HELL

[Inflexus]

I think they all play the same role, really. They exist to get triforce power and to use said power to dominate a population by force.

With that being said, Vaati of TMC was probably the best developed as a villain because he actually had motivation and a past, wheras Ganondorf, and Aganimh(sp?) did not.

[Arkwright]

All the antogonists make things too hard for themselves, they make little bosses and dungeons that even some 10 year old kid can get through. They make themselves too predictable in terms of their weaknesses and what not.

I don't try to generally favor MM, but I think that Majora's Mask was the best because of it's un-predictability. I don't think it created the dungeons, followed Link on his quest, or anything like that. It just cursed the lands which in turn unleashed massive monsters, beasts, and allowed temples to unfold themselves into dungeons. The Majora's Mask then topped it off with controlling the moon to become homicidal.

At the end of the game, you enter an acid trip of a game by going inside of the moon and finding out it's all heavenly, and that the ginger kids running around a tree are figments of the skull kid's insecurities and anger. (Or something like that :P)

You then talk to this lonely kid wearing the Majora's Mask, who gives you the ability to turn into a demonic warrior and fight the Majora's Mask in 3 different forms.

So, I think I'll go with the Majora's Mask being my favorite Antagonist.

[mastersword18]

def shadow link and ganon from oot was awesome but otha then that i luved zant i thought he was cool (until he took his mask off and started dancing)

[Chris]

Athough I would agree that ganon is my favorite, I would say Vaati. Vaati was really cool and he was a hard boss. So I would say Vatti.

[HylianPrincess]

Kay................................ Well il have to say Majoras Mask because in my opinion trying to crash the moon into Termina is more evil then anything Ganondorf or Vatti could have cooked up. Also he doesnt want power or to be a tyrant he just wants to destroy everything and take the lives of innocent people....... I like his style:evil: But really Zant was sad. It was like fighting a politicaly inccorect yoshimitsu. He really thought Ganondorf would give him ultimate power.:shake: Tsk Tsk Tsk

[octorok74]

My favorite antagonist would be Vaati, because he seems kind of misled and he is pretty hard to.

[Zeanith]

Majora. She's so pretty. And evil. Me loves her. MUA TO MAJORA!

[Kitsu]

I'd have to say Majora. Majora was quite a unique, and even more sinister character than most other characters. I found it interesting how as you progressed in the battle, Majora would metamorphisise, in a way.

[Kybyrian]

Majora, just like Kitsu said, Majora was quite unique and a good change to some of the other usuals. Plus, the different stages of the battle were pretty good. Probably the most mysterious, as well.
