Does he actually kill him though? I could easily be wrong, but I could swear they always went with "banishing" instead to get around that lol I know they talk about "banishing" him A LOT, and all the other enemies we're told we need to "defeat" but idk if they ever had the balls enough to just outright say "KILL HIM/THEM" and idk how well that goes over for the E rating(although let's be real, the ESRB is more fucked than the MPAA, so I can't really pretend anything is the same between two games when we all know politics between publishers plays the biggest part) And none of this is factoring in foreign languages and interprétations(which opens up a whole new realm of discussion idc enough about)

[@sensoryoverload6809]

@@nignamedmutt7270 They banish him in some games, but I don’t think that happens in twilight princess or wind waker. I could be wrong. Either way, since he’s the embodiment of the triforce of power he’ll always be reborn. Just like Link and Zelda.

[@sensoryoverload6809]

@chuckbuskee For real! But so many hero’s in fiction spare the lives of the most evil people. For example, in Dragon ball Frieza is the embodiment of evil and has destroyed worlds without hesitation, yet Goku still spares his life. Not trying to disrespect Goku, but finish the damn guy and put your morals behind you, someone that evil doesn’t deserve to be spared. But Link… Link doesn’t fuck around.

Well Ganondorf is a reincarnation of Demise The Demon King. So theres different villains that could change just like Dragon Ball Z Vegeta, Clash Of Titans or others.

Blaxe Frost In Breath of the Wild, everything has gone to shit. This is the warning of TP Ganondorf.

[@dekuswagg]

Problem is, BotW takes place in a different branch of the timeline than TP.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

Kamui The Botw is the result/successor of both Adult and Child Timelines. Because both of them are connected from the Time-split(Ocarina of Time).

[@dekuswagg]

CAUTION: HEAVY SPOILERS FOR BOTW AHEAD Actually, BotW could only possibly be in either the Downfall timeline or the Adult timeline for a variety of reasons. In a recent interview with Aonuma, he stated this - "Interviewer: And where does this Zelda fit on the series' timeline, in its chronology, split as that is into three separate yet connected branches? Aonuma: I wouldn't say that it obviously fits into any one part of the timeline, but if you play the game, you'll be able to work out where it fits. As you probably saw in the trailer, the most recent trailer, there's a woman's voice, and she says: "The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of the Calamity Ganon." And as you know, the Zelda series, up until now, is a history of repeated attacks by Ganon. So, there's food for thought there. I don't want to say anything more as I'd like players to work it out for themselves, to play the game and see what they think." source: waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/a-conversation-with-zelda-veteran-and-breath-of-the-wild-producer-eiji-aonuma That means that the game takes place in a branch of the timeline where Ganon attacks several times. In both the Child and Adult timelines, Ganon only attacks once, leaving only the Fallen Hero timeline. There's not very much evidence for the Child Timeline, actually, aside from the references in that one memory. (Even though those games are only referenced in the English version. In the Japanese version all of the titles referenced in that cutscene are from the Downfall timeline.) Breath of the Wild contains numerous major reference to the events of Ocarina of Time that didn't occur in the Child Timelime as well. For example, we learn that the Sages from OoT such as Ruto and Nabooru went down in history as the sages that fought against Ganondorf, whereas in the Child timeline, the sages from OoT were never awoken. Also the Hero of Time is directly referenced in-game. In the Child timeline, the Hero of Time was never celebrated as a hero, and faded into obscurity as we see with the Hero's Shade. Another big tell is that in the Downfall timeline, Hyrule is in a constant state of rising to a glorious golden age only to be demolished by the resurgence of Ganon. This fits exactly into what happens during the events of BotW. Lastly, only in the Fallen Hero timeline is the complete Triforce consistently held by the Royal Family (we see the complete Triforce used by Zelda at the climax of the storyline.)

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

DekuKid​ ALL of the timelines converge into one and the result was Breath of the Wild. As you can see now, the reference from the past games faded into a legend that is told time through time again.

[@renaehernandez8184]

This fight always makes me think back to the start of the game where Link was just a mere villager enjoying a peaceful life. Now here he is in a one on one sword fight with the Bearer of the Triforce Of Power. In this battle, Link is no longer the villager but rather the Hero that Hyrule(and Zelda) needed. He accepted the change of fate and didn't look back.

[@deivisony]

What are you on about? He is the Bearer of the Triforce of Courage, without courage there is no reason to have power nor wisdom.

[@silque_brigandess]

Ok

[@OfficialBulldozerStudios]

Well, there's that, and there's also the fact that this guy is literally the bloodline descendant of the Hero of Time. AKA Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. AKA the first Link in the series timeline to pull the Master Sword, claim the Triforce of Courage, and face Ganon in combat. And it's that same hero's spirit who teaches you the seven sword skills during this game, including the Finishing Blow used to deliver the final hit on Ganon and finish him off. This Link was always destined to follow in his ancestor's footsteps, and with the previous hero's help, Ganon never stood a chance.

I understand that “power” doesn’t only equate to physical strength but the fact Ganondorf gets into a test of strength and loses while he has the the triforce of power is one of the coolest moments in Zelda. As well as his dying standing up. That’s crazy.

[@cdsatcher]

Well, no, he IS physically strong. It's just that the Hero of Twilight is ALSO physically strong too, having the strength to wrestle bulls(and Gorons via use of the Iron Boots to prevent them from yeeting his ass out of the arena) and throw them to the ground without any assistance, being able to lift up large and presumably heavy doors with ease, and being able to use the Wrecking Ball & Chain(which is a heavy, massive ball and chain that can destroy massive chunks of ice). So yes, Ganondorf is absolutely physically strong. It's just that... so is Link.

It sometimes actually irritates me to see all those players out there only playing flawlessly and braggy like it's so easy. At least you showed us a bit of a challenge. Great fight!

[@Zeik188]

I have a feeling the player was doing that on purpose because this fight, while super epic and cinematic is REALLY easy. He also had double damage enabled, which is why he lost like 8 hearts when he failed the QTE. In order to actually lose that QTE you have to practically do nothing and just let it happen. I would enjoy this fight more if you didn't have to sandbag to make it last any length of time like this player here did. You can end this fight in less then a minute if you really wanted too.

[@trivialdeer]

Man I LOVE the animation of Link twirling the sword around in his hand. I wish they included little details like that more with the other links 😔

[@InvaderGIR98]

I think it was Aonuma who said he wanted this Link to be a bit of a brat, the sword twirling is an aspect of that lol. Also him posing on the bridge

[@ssbbbest]

What makes this fight even more epic is the fact Ganondorf is severely handicapped by his wound from the Ancient Sages and is still confidently fighting on par with the incarnation of the Hero 1 on 1.

[@BuildItCreations1]

I love the angle of the whole fight. Slightly lower than normal which really sells the effect that Ganondorf is actually quite tall and menacing

[@klizdagoat]

I watch this video at least once a day for heroic inspiration. Thanks for making this fight a gem.

[@adrianusboogey8045]

I love the way how Ganon dodges to the side and gains distance and then puts his hand up and tells link to come at him, it really does put the cherry on top of this epic duel

[@pantheman2842]

If Ganondorf hit like THIS in normal mode, it would be the most epic fight in history of video games.

[@chadpeterson5698]

Yep and having him do 8 hearts of damage and the clash is an instant deathin the position that the player is in with this video.

[@jonforbes9869]

This dude was so frickin' powerful, the sages ran him through with the sword of the six sages, got battered with light arrows, stabbed AGAIN with the master sword and then lost the Triforce of power that was keeping him alive. He only finally died when Zant used his own power to end him, but even then he stayed standing. Damn.

[@ls190v2]

Don't forget that he took blow after blow after blow from the Master Sword, and he fell from his horse and tumbled across the ground. Honestly, he's the absolute strongest Ganondorf in the series, bar none. I doubt the Demon King Ganondorf from TotK could penetrate his almighty guard.

[@Harbringer443]

​@ls190v2 When he fell from his horse, I was like that's it, the fight is finished. But nope. He stood again like a G.

[@DanielGonzalez-qq7gh]

1:36 wow the syncing on those attacks witch the music! Edit: also I love the way the music adapts during the chance duel

[@themusic6808]

The secret to this battle actually lies in the FISHING ROD, the first item you obtain in the game. I’m dead serious cast your line and Ganondorf will temporarily be confused and look away at it allowing you to land a strike. I’m not sure if the creators meant it to be this way but how ironic is it that the first, least used and least deadly item you get helps you win the final battle.

[@chadpeterson5698]

I hate that Nintendo put that in

[@reverie5760]

@@chadpeterson5698 no. that was okay to use. ONCE. after that, its pure stupid. they should have programmed it so it worked once, but if link uses it a second time, he immediately gets backhanded by ganon's sword.

i feel like ganon is a victim of demise just like link and zelda.

[@poseidonrox95]

Agreed. I feel that Demise's hatred and anger sought a vessel in the era of Time, and the King of Thieves was the perfect conduit for his resurrection. Had demise never made his curse, Ganondorf might not have been evil at all and might have actually allied the Gerudo with Hyrule in OOT.

[@Boogeyyyman]

Ganondorf had good intentions for his people but because of being the reincarnation of Demises hatred he is doomed to become corrupted, insane and to power hungry and will cause destruction

[@Boogeyyyman]

In Windwaker after his defeat through hero of Time, banishment in the dark world for centuries, after his return to hyrule, banishment in hyrule under the ocean and his 2nd return, he became more peaceful and tried to distance himself from his demonic side. He still was obsessed with getting triforce but he wasn't as violent and insane as before.

"It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber." - Count Dooku This stage of the boss fight was up close and personal. First Ganon hid in Zelda's body, then they both used animal avatars to attack each other, then they used their horsemanship skills, before deciding to duel each other face-to-face like two gentleman.
