Ganon

Sprite from Bikdip's Adventure and Bikdip's Adventure 2

**Ganon** was an evil mage and the bearer of the Triforce of Power, who sought to conquer Hyrule by force in the *Bikdip's Adventure* games.

## In the games

#### *Mitch*

Prior to the start of the game, Ganon kidnapped a boy named Mitch to send his younger brother Link, bearer of the Triforce of Courage, on a "pointless quest" to "distract" him. Though Link defeated Ganon in his lair in Southern Hyrule and found Mitch, the two went missing some time afterward, and Ganon continued his plot to take over Hyrule.

#### *Bikdip's Adventure*

At some point prior to the start of the game, Ganon kidnapped Princess Zelda and kept her captive in another lair of his in Northern Hyrule. Though Link was unavailable, the Triforce of Courage chose a new hero, Bargo, from another world, to be its bearer. Bargo then recovered the scattered pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda had separated, fought Ganon, defeating him with a Silver Arrow, and entered the room Zelda was being held in. However, Ganon managed to survive the battle, weakened, and used his magic to freeze Zelda in ice and incapacitate Bargo, stealing the items and equipment he had gathered.

#### *Bikdip's Adventure 2*

As Zelda never reassembled the Triforce of Wisdom, its pieces scattered themselves across Northern Hyrule again. While recovering from his injuries, Ganon sent his minions across Hyrule to search for the Triforce Pieces, ordering them to guard any they found, as well as to search for anything else that could help him gain strength and power. One group located a sparkly blue crystalline substance, vuuntergrist, in a place known as the Caves of Manikvraad, that could be used to grant magical strength, and Ganon sent teams and scientists to extract and research it. During this time, Ganon also created a supercomputer named BIGG\_HEADD, which he infected with a virus that caused a corrupted projection to form, guarding the Triforce Piece near to it, and an experimental robotic super-soldier named DRKNT-042, who resented working for Ganon and tried to quit, but was punished and ordered to search for Bargo.

Around this time, Ganon heard of Bargo's return and became stressed about his potential to thwart his plans again. Then, Bikdark, a mysterious person resembling Bargo, appeared before Ganon and pledged loyalty to him and his cause. Ganon took the opportunity to instruct Bikdark to try to collect the pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom before Bargo. However, he failed to beat Bargo to six of the eight pieces. To aid in his task, Ganon then provided Bikdark with the items and equipment he had stolen from Bargo, as well as copies of Bargo's new equipment he had made, and following this, Bikdark managed to recover two pieces for Ganon. Around this time, Ganon kidnapped Granpappy Bikdip, who had arrived in Hyrule to assist Bargo, and held him in a cell for interrogation.

Later, when Bargo arrived at Ganon's refurbished lair, Ganon sent Bikdark to fight Bargo, but he was defeated and fled further into the base. Eventually, Bargo reached the room Ganon was in. Confident in the power he could gain from an orb synthesized from the vuuntergrist he had been researching, Ganon prepared to fight Bargo. However, while Ganon was talking to Bargo, Bikdark seized the orb behind Ganon and used it to kill Ganon with lightning magic that disintegrated him into ashes, draining his power (including the Triforce of Power) and absorbing it into himself. After Bargo defeated Bikdark as a result of the latter inheriting Ganon's weakness to Silver Arrows along with his power, Bargo spread Ganon and Bikdark's ashes on Zelda's frozen form to break the spell on her, and used the Triforce of Power along with the other pieces to make a wish to return home with his grandfather.
