==Summary==
Ganondorf is the main antagonist in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the unseen source of Calamity Ganon from Breath of the Wild. Much like his previous incarnation, Ganondorf was born as the only man to the Gerudo tribe and was crowned the tribe's chief as per tradition. He was unsatisfied with simply ruling over the Gerudo Desert and sought to conquer the newly found kingdom of Hyrule, often attempting indirect attacks until he noticed that brute force wouldn't be enough to achieve his goals, and pledged false fealty to king Rauru with the hopes of eventually taking one of the secret stones handed down by the Zonai. He eventually murdered Raurus wife, Queen Sonia, and stole her secret stone to use it to become the Demon King. With his newfound power, he created an army of monsters to attack Hyrule in an event known as 'The Imprisoning War', almost bringing the kingdom to ruin until Rauru sacrificed himself to seal him away for thousands of years. While his true body remained imprisoned in the depths below Hyrule castle, his evil would seep out and form an entity known as Calamity Ganon, who would repeatedly attack the kingdom throughout the rest of recorded history.
Several years after the events of Breath of the Wild, the seal containing Ganondorf was broken, and he was confronted by Link and Zelda. He effortlessly shattered the Master Sword and left Link in a critical condition before heading underground to begin restoring his strength to continue his conquest of Hyrule. He created a false copy of Zelda to mislead Link and the citizens of Hyrule and deployed monsters to prevent the new Sages from taking up the Secret Stones held by their predecessors, although ultimately, his plans to prevent this fails, and he is forced to confront a newly powered up Link and his allies when they storm his underground lair. After an intense battle, he is soundly defeated by Link, and in desperation, he swallows his secret stone to transform into a powerful dragon in one last bid to claim victory and cast the world into darkness, but is completely destroyed by the combined efforts of Zelda and Link.

*Gloom Sword: . Even among all the other swords in Hyrule this sword is especially noted to be capable of ending the life of anyone who it touches.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Hyrule Compendium; Gloom Sword The weapon is made and infused with Ganondorf's Gloom and, as such, it can inflict it with every strike it lands on his foe, and if anyone else besides Ganondorf or his creations wield the blade then simply swinging it will inflict Gloom upon them.
*Gloom Club: .The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Hyrule Compendium; Gloom Club The weapon is made and infused with Ganondorf's Gloom and, as such, it can inflict it with every strike it lands on his foe, and if anyone else besides Ganondorf or his creations wield the blade then simply swinging it will inflict Gloom upon them.
*Gloom Spear: . The weapon is made and infused with Ganondorf's Gloom and, as such, it can inflict it with every strike it lands on his foe, and if anyone else besides Ganondorf or his creations wield the blade then simply swinging it will inflict Gloom upon them. The spear also reaps the souls of its targets with a single strike.
*Demon King's Bow: , increasing in strength with its user's life force.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Hyrule Compendium; Demon King's Bow Unlike his other weapons, the bow doesn't inflict Gloom upon its targeting by itself, nor does it inflict Gloom upon anyone else who wields it.
*Secret Stone of Darkness: A powerful artifact that is part of a set of mystical stones that came from the Gods that the Zonai descended from, that greatly amplify the powers of their users. Originally the Secret Stone of Time that belonged to Queen Sonia, Ganondorf took it for himself after murdering her, corrupting it with his Gloom to turn its elemental affinity to darkness. While the stone itself doesn't possess many noteworthy abilities on its own, its ability to boost its users abilities allowed Ganondorf to transform into the Demon King and enhanced his Gloom to the point he could create an entire army of monsters within seconds. Ganondorf can also swallow the stone to to transform into a Dragon, which, while it lets him , comes at the cost of losing his mind and sense of self.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Mineru's Counsel
Intelligence: Genius (During his initial attempts at conquering Hyrule he attacked using methods that couldn't be traced back to him or his followers, made frequent use of Phantom Ganon disguised as a Zelda doppelgänger and used it as a proxy,The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Messages from an ancient era and used said doppelgänger as a distraction to have Sonia lower her guard so he could obtain her Secret Stone.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Sonia Is Caught By Treachery Upon his revival millennia later, he continued to use his false Zelda and had her travel across Hyrule in order to mislead and distract Link, using it to also gain the trust and deceive the general population of Hyrule, such as using it to misguide Yunobo and cause him to mine for Marbled Rock Roast so that the Gorons would more easily be corrupted by Gloom,The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Yunobo of Goron City and using it to prevent anyone from investigating the Ring Ruins which contained knowledge of the Sages.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Secret of the Ring Ruins Was stated to be a master of every known weapon)
Weaknesses: Due to becoming a demon, he is highly susceptibleThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; Sacred Flame of Din to holy light,The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; Link reunites with Zelda with even a small shard of weapons such as the Master Sword being capable of cutting and burning him despite his vast superiority to the blade, with Zelda later reaffirming vulnerability to the sword's holy power.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; Critical Decisions He is prideful to the point that that he left himself open to Rauru's sealing magic.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom; The Imprisoning War Holds back against foes he doesn't deem worthy, opting to not enter his more powerful form second until he felt more excited, and still continued to hold back when the Sages arrived and didn't go all out until he had taken a large amount of damage. If he feels truly pressured and on the losing end of a battle he will become desperate enough to swallow his Secret Stone and transform into a dragon, which while giving him greater power causes him to lose his mind and sense of self. Natural light or anything with similar properties naturally cures Gloom Affliction, although for most victims of the affliction it still takes a while to recover. However, direct corruption from Ganondorf himself cannot be negated by natural light as Link needed the aid of Hylia to gradually purge the Gloom from his body and Mineru eventually succumbed to direct affliction from Ganondorf.
