Ganon's Incarnations

Gerudo king, boar-demon, disembodied malice — the same hatred wearing different bodies, exactly as Demise's curse promised.

  1. Skyward SwordShared Trunk (Before the Split)

    Demise's dying curse is the origin: an undying hatred bound to reincarnate against the hero and the goddess-blood forever.

  2. Ocarina of TimeShared Trunk (Before the Split)

    Ganondorf at his most human — a schemer whose theft of the Triforce of Power creates every later Ganon.

  3. The Wind WakerAdult Timeline

    The most sympathetic Ganondorf: weary, articulate, coveting Hyrule for the wind that blew on his desert.

  4. Twilight PrincessChild Timeline

    Executed by sages, sealed in the Twilight Realm, and puppeteering Zant from exile.

  5. Four Swords AdventuresChild Timeline

    A reborn Gerudo Ganondorf, distinct from the Hero of Time's nemesis — proof the curse recycles.

  6. A Link to the PastDownfall Timeline

    Pure beast-Ganon, ruling the Dark World the Triforce built from his wish.

  7. The Legend of ZeldaDownfall Timeline

    The original pig-demon in his mountain lair, holding the Triforce of Power.

  8. Breath of the WildDistant Future (BOTW / TOTK)

    Calamity Ganon: hatred so old it has abandoned form entirely — a storm of malice wearing machinery.

    The Demon King restored to a body: the mummified Ganondorf sealed since the Imprisoning War.
