This spelling appears in two Western releases: the original The Legend of Zelda, and the non-canonical Zelda's Adventure. In the Japanese versions of the first three games, his name is anglicized as "Gannon". Ganon is named inconsistently throughout the series. These names have not appeared in any of the games or other manuals, though the name "Ganondorf Dragmire" is used once on the official Zelda website. The character is given the surname "Dragmire" in the English version of the A Link to the Past instruction manual while his monster form's name was "Mandrag Ganon". Ganon was originally known as "Hakkai" during development of the original The Legend of Zelda, in reference to a humanoid pig character known as Zhu Bajie ( Cho Hakkai in Japanese) from the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West. In Breath of the Wild, Ganon has three forms: For most of the game he is visible from a distance as a serpentine cloud of Malice-a signature viscous, burning energy that is used to denote his heavy influence-that circles Hyrule Castle Calamity Ganon is a grotesque scorpion-like monster formed of Malice, Guardian parts, and desiccated human remains while Dark Beast Ganon is a giant boar-like monster made entirely of Malice, taken on when Ganon gives up on reincarnation and simply takes on the form of his pure rage. His Gerudo form reappears in The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Like all Gerudo, he possesses olive dark skin, amber eyes, and red hair. Ocarina of Time marks the first appearance of his humanoid form, the physically imposing and armor-clad Lord of the Gerudo people. In the original The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Four Swords Adventures, and A Link Between Worlds, he is depicted as a blue, porcine biped wielding either a large sword or a trident. Ganon has two basic forms that appear throughout the series: one that is his burly, boar-headed form, while the other is his humanoid Gerudo form. Ultimate (based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) Ganon in his Gerudo form, Ganondorf, in promotional artwork for Super Smash Bros. The character has been well received by critics, becoming one of the most popular and recognizable villains in gaming. In most games, he possesses the Triforce of Power, a third of the full Triforce that gives him godlike strength, boundless mystical power, and invulnerability to all but the most powerful sacred weapons, such as the Master Sword. He also appeared as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. To this end, he seeks the Triforce, an omnipotent artifact that grants any wish its bearer desires, and usually manipulates several other villains to realize his ambitions. His specific motives vary from game to game, but most often involve capturing Princess Zelda and planning to conquer Hyrule and the world at large. Ganon is the archenemy of the series' main protagonists, Link and Princess Zelda, and the leader of the Gerudo. In the games, the character alternates between two forms: "Ganon," a massive, demonic boar-like creature and "Ganondorf," a tall, heavily built member of the Gerudo, a race of humanoid desert nomads. Ganon, known as Ganondorf in his Gerudo (humanoid) form, is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, as well as the final boss in many Zelda titles.
