Description Ganondorf, the self proclaimed Great King of Evil. I designed him here based mostly on how he looked in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Because I adore the Zelda series, and I think Ganon is one of the best villains in the world of video games, I wrote my own little bio of him to go along with my picture, because, why not. It covers the following:

- Powers and abilities
- Personality
- List of known major crimes

Note: I'm only writing this based on the time between Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past, which I think are the two best Zelda games (that's just my humble opinion). Let me know what your favourites are, if you have any!


Powers and abilities:

Prior to gaining the Triforce, Ganondorf was already a powerful sorcerer, able to cast death curses and offensive magic. He is also a skilled weapons master, his favourite weapon being his Trident, though he is also a swordmaster, able to match adult Link in swordplay.
After gaining the Triforce of Power, his powers as a sorcerer were greatly enhanced, as well as gaining godlike strength and invulnerability; only his own magic and a select few weapons wielded by Link are able to harm him. He also has some semblance of immortality, as he never seems to be permanently killed.
Using the Triforce, he can transform into the gargantuan warthog-like monster called Ganon. This form is somewhat piglike because the Triforce reflects Ganondorf's selfishness and insatiable greed.


Personality:
Every action Ganondorf takes serves only his own ambitions and hunger for more power. He is extremely cunning, working his way into the Royal family of Hyrule until he was close enough to betray and murder the king. Although he is unrepentantly evil and merciless when dealing with those who oppose him or servants who displease him, he surprisingly seems to follow a code of honour at times. When young boy Link stands up to Ganondorf while he was pursuing Zelda, he recognized his courage and blasted him aside with magic, rather than killing him (ironically, that act of mercy is a mistake he would regret forever).
He also is not without a sense of humor, though it's a dark one. He's a lover of irony. He creates a phantom version of himself to fight Link, and when Link defeats it, he laughingly reveals that not only was it not him, but it was nowhere near as powerful as the real him.


List of known crimes:
Betrayal and murder of the king of Hyrule
Murder of the Deku Tree
Brainwashing the soldiers of Hyrule into doing his bidding
Kidnap of princess Zelda
Transforming the Golden Land into the Dark World (when he acquired the Triforce)

I know you play tennis with him, also has bad-ass transformations. But he must have one of the most obvious weaknesses in video gamesΒ
