In ''The Legend of Zelda'', the character appears as a giant, humanoid pig-monster, Ganon. The intro of the game tells of how Ganon ''stole'' the Triforce of Power, and was rumored to be after the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] too. Before he could steal that one too, Zelda broke the Triforce of Wisdom into eight [[Triforce Shard|pieces]] and hide them inside underground labyrinths (dungeons). She then sent [[Impa]], her nursemaid, searching for a hero to collect all eight pieces and destroy Ganon. Impa comes across [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]], and asks him to take this quest. This begins the game. | In ''The Legend of Zelda'', the character appears as a giant, humanoid pig-monster, Ganon.

Once Link has obtained all eight pieces, he can travel to [[Level 9: Death Mountain|Death Mountain]] and confront Ganon. This battle is quite difficult, as for the most part, Ganon will be invisible while shooting fireballs at Link. Ganon can only be hurt if Link strikes his invisible form with his sword. Once Ganon has been hit, he will be visible for a moment, and then disappear again. Once Ganon has been hit enough times with the sword, he will turn a brownish color, which shows he is vulnerable. This is Link's opportunity to finish him off with a shot from the [[Bow]] using a [[Silver Arrow]]. This will defeat Ganon, leaving behind his ashes and the Triforce of Power. Link can now proceed into the door directly above and save Princess Zelda. If Link does not shoot him with the Silver Arrow in time, Ganon will flash before turning invisible again, returning to full strength. | Once Link has obtained all eight pieces, he can travel to [[Level 9: Death Mountain|Death Mountain]] and confront Ganon.

In order to open the [[Door of Time]] and obtain the Triforce, Ganondorf seeks to obtain the three Spiritual Stones, which act as keys to the Door of Time. In order to make the holders of the stones hand them over, Ganondorf curses the [[Great Deku Tree]], infests [[Dodongo's Cavern]] with monsters, and inflicts a parasite onto [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]]. | In order to open the [[Door of Time]] and obtain the Triforce, Ganondorf seeks to obtain the three Spiritual Stones, which act as keys to the Door of Time.

Link manages to undo all the curses and defeat all the monsters to retrieve the stones himself, but when he returns to Hyrule Castle Town he finds that Ganondorf has already laid siege to the town and drove Princess Zelda out. He allows Link to open the Door of Time, stepping in once the Master Sword pulls Link into a seven-year slumber. With Link unable to stop him, Ganondorf enters the [[Sacred Realm]] and claims the Triforce for himself; however, his unbalanced heart causes the Triforce to split into three pieces, Ganondorf keeping only the Triforce of Power for himself because his heart desired power most of all. With his newly obtained powers, Ganondorf spends the seven years of Link's slumber ruling over Hyrule with an iron fist and seeking the other two holders of the Triforce. | Link manages to undo all the curses and defeat all the monsters to retrieve the stones himself, but when he returns to Hyrule Castle Town he finds that Ganondorf has already laid siege to the town and drove Princess Zelda out.

After Link awakens from his slumber, he sets out to undo the evil Ganondorf has inflicted over the land and awaken the five Sages. After doing so, Princess Zelda comes out of disguise and presents Link with Ganondorf's weakness, the [[Light Arrow]]s. With Zelda's disguise removed, Ganondorf is able to find her and capture her, using her to lure Link up into his castle. He hopes to take the pieces of the Triforce from Link and Zelda and engages Link in battle. At first, Link seems to win and the castle collapses, but Ganondorf revives in his beast form, Ganon, and engages Link in battle again. In the end, Link comes out victorious, but as Ganondorf still holds the Triforce of Power he cannot be killed. The Sages are forced to seal Ganondorf away, though he claims that as long as he holds the Triforce of Power, he will return and take his revenge. | After Link awakens from his slumber, he sets out to undo the evil Ganondorf has inflicted over the land and awaken the five Sages.

After completing his adventures in both [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Onox]] and [[Veran]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; a plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon. The actions of Onox and Veran caused the [[Flame of Sorrow]] and the [[Flame of Destruction]] to be lit. In an attempt to light the third and final flame for their ritual, Twinrova kidnaps Princess Zelda herself to be used as a sacrifice. Although Link is able to defeat Twinrova and save Zelda from the ritual, he cannot stop the resurrection of Ganon, as Twinrova ends up sacrificing their own body as a vessel for the evil king. | After completing his adventures in both [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Onox]] and [[Veran]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; a plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon.

The resulting incarnation of Ganon lacks much intelligent thought, though he does show knowledge of who he is. Still, Ganon proves to be the toughest obstacle that Link will have to overcome if he is to restore peace to the world and take his destined place in history as the Legendary Hero. | The resulting incarnation of Ganon lacks much intelligent thought, though he does show knowledge of who he is.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' Ganon is originally a desert nomad named Ganondorf. Prior to the events of the game, Ganon breaks the taboo of the [[Gerudo Tribe|Gerudo]] and explores the [[Desert Pyramid]], eventually stealing the [[Trident]] and the [[Dark Mirror]]. He uses the Trident's power to transform into Ganon, along with using the power of the Dark Mirror to create [[Shadow Link]]. Ganon uses [[Vaati]] to distract Link while he slowly gains power from the [[Shrine Maidens]] captured by Shadow Link. At the end of the game, Ganon appears as the final boss fought beneath the [[Tower of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Tower of Winds]].

A century before the present day, a prophecy was made foretelling the imminent return of Calamity Ganon. Hoping to defeat Ganon in the same fashion as their ancestors, the [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King]] and the Hylian people began working to locate and excavate the Guardians and Divine Beasts. A [[Champion]] was chosen from each of Hyrule's four races to pilot the Divine Beasts. Princess Zelda also worked to awaken the power to seal Ganon that rested within her, alongside the protection afforded by her knight and the chosen hero, Link. | A century before the present day, a prophecy was made foretelling the imminent return of Calamity Ganon.

Despite their efforts, Ganon broke free of its prison before Zelda awakened her true power. Unexpectedly, the beast was cunning, and used its power to take control of the Guardians and turn them against Hyrule and its citizens. Ganon also created four blights in his image to infect the Divine Beasts, taking control of the constructs and killing each of the Champions. Waterblight Ganon, Windblight Ganon, Fireblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon. With most of [[Central Hyrule]] destroyed, [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] and [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Princess Zelda]] fought against the Guardians in a deserted field. While defending Link, Zelda awakened the power to seal Ganon away and defeat the Guardians. Link, however, died soon after, and was taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] where he would revive after a long slumber. Until this day arrived, Zelda used her power to contain Ganon within Hyrule Castle. Ganon thinks he can be undefeated. | Despite their efforts, Ganon broke free of its prison before Zelda awakened her true power.

After Link's awakening in the shrine one hundred years later, Calamity Ganon can be seen circling the top of Hyrule Castle, unable to escape. During Link's absence, Zelda's power to contain Ganon has been weakening, allowing the beast to create more of a presence as the days continue. Many characters in the nearby vicinity acknowledge Ganon's existence, often referring to Ganon as an 'it', while the Monks still refer to him as 'Ganon'. Once Link completes his journey and returns to Hyrule Castle, he encounters Ganon in a large room below the [[Sanctum]]. Ganon takes a grotesque form, appearing in a centipede-like figure, with a large head surrounded by Ganondorf's signature long flowing red hair. The beast fights with a combination of the attacks used by the blights he created long ago, and puts up a considerable fight even against the Master Sword's power. | After Link's awakening in the shrine one hundred years later, Calamity Ganon can be seen circling the top of Hyrule Castle, unable to escape.

Once Link destroys this incarnation, Ganon's spirit escapes to Hyrule Field and manifests into its true form: Dark Beast Ganon. A pure embodiment of Malice and Hatred, it is a gigantic boar similar to Ganon's appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. Princess Zelda reveals that Ganon has given up on reincarnation to create this form, intending to release the full force of its wrath upon the world. Now that it is free from the prison of Hyrule Castle, Ganon will do exactly that unless stopped. | Once Link destroys this incarnation, Ganon's spirit escapes to Hyrule Field and manifests into its true form: Dark Beast Ganon.

While riding on his horse around the Beast's massive figure, Link uses the Bow to pierce several weak points on Ganon's body. He then fires one last shot into the core of beast, which releases Zelda from her century-long imprisonment.

This memory details an early Hyrule, when the Sages and [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rauru]] fought against Ganondorf during the [[Imprisoning War]]. The Sages were not able to overcome Ganondorf's power, and Rauru used his last efforts to seal Ganondorf away beneath Hyrule Castle at the cost of his own life. | ||

As he almost reaches her each time, she is replaced with enemies.

He reveals that the Princess Zelda seen so far has only been a puppet created by Ganondorf, meant to keep Link occupied.

After Link helps the fifth Sage, [[Mineru]], find her Secret Stone, she will explain the murals found below Hyrule Castle. The [[Zonai]] came from the heavens to the surface, using the power of the Secret Stones to make the kingdom of Hyrule, with Rauru and [[Sonia]] as the first King and Queen.
