[@dragonstormx]

Interesting tidbit about Twilight Princess Ganondorf. The only reason Link and Midna can hurt him in his beast form is because of the wound left by the Sages, and if you do actually get close enough to hit on horseback before Zelda shoots him with a Light Arrow, then the Master Sword won't have any effect. It's fairly common for Link to need help against Ganondorf, in this game the fights with him would be outright unwinnable if weren't injured or if Link were on his own.

[@ls190v2]

The blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero unite to face the incarnation of Demise's hatred. Hylia, the divine guardian of the legendary Triforce wasn't strong enough to defeat Demise alone, which speaks to the power of the one true Demon King.

@@tuilleri It probably when they do battle and the player loses to Ganon or Ganondorf. What happens is that Ganondorf gets Link Triforce.. Ganon altered the Golden Land to Dark World with images but Ganon wanted to conquer Hyrule too. Zelda and the other seven Sages locked him into Dark World with full power of the Triforce. Ganon curses Hyrule. Years past Sages have descendant which are the maidens, Zelda (Oot) had a descendant herself which is Zelda (LTTP). Ganon creates Avatar of himself which his name is Agahnim. Agahnim goes to Hyrule.. kills Zelda (LTTP) father.. king of Hyrule and sent each maiden to Dark World. He about to sent Zelda (LTTP) to the Dark the World. Link to past starts. The reason why this timeline exist is because this basically how first Zelda games started in. The bad time line where Ganondorf had to defeat Link the hero of time to take Triforce of Courage away from him. That whole gimmick of OOT. So the player can defeat Ganondorf and prevent the bad timeline happening.

Kacper Lubiński the most powerful ganon ever maybe if he gets the triforce of power??? Maybe a game where he wins since it seems to have a dark tone

[@speedude0164]

Calamity Ganon was powerful enough in Breath of the Wild and was able to create enough malice to take control of the Guardians and Divine Beasts, granting him possibly the strongest army of any Ganon or Ganondorf. In the trailer, it seemed like all that malice was coming from Ganondorf's corpse. If his power was able to create Calamity Ganon, take control over the Guardians and have as much of an effect on Hyrule as it did, we can only imagine what he'll be capable of in the sequel. He must rank somewhere near the top.

[@Damariobros]

Nowadays, we can infer from the TotK trailer that Calamity Ganon is purely a construct of unimaginable amounts of malice, rather than Ganondorf himself, who is sealed underground with unknown magic, possibly magic of the Goddesses. Within his seal, if we assume the information we have been given in BotW's lore is consistent across Calamities, it takes him 10,000 years to build up enough malice to unleash one Calamity. It seems obvious that he can receive information from Calamity Ganon despite Calamity Ganon acting autonomously and with its own intelligence, seeing as he learned from the last, failed attempt which ended in Calamity Ganon getting completely obliterated, and came up with a plan to get the jump on Hyrule this time around. Despite being without the Triforce of Power, and despite merely being a product of malice produced by Ganondorf, and despite the fact that that product of malice had to act without any help from Ganondorf courtesy of the mysterious hand keeping him sealed tightly, it is still an absolute beast, and is extraordinarily powerful and certainly nothing to be trifled with. In addition, seeing as he is a construct of malice, it is clear now why he could not be destroyed without Zelda's powers: it was too much malice to be destroyed by the Bow of Light or the Master Sword alone, and so Zelda needed to use her powers to erase this colossal amount of malice from existence, as the malice can apparently act even with much of it destroyed, seeing as it can split apart and each part can act of its own accord. All of it needed to be destroyed, and Zelda's powers are the only thing that can erase that much malice from existence. Calamity Ganon is truly a powerful entity, potentially one of the most powerful in the series.

The way I see it, due to The Hero of Time's time travel shenanigans, he was sent back to the past with his Triforce of Courage. This caused an imbalance, making the Triforce of Courage from the past disappear, and the Wisdom and Power pieces going to Zelda and Ganondorf respectively. This'd explain how Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power during his banishment in Twilight Princess.

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

There's a bit of a hole in that theory. In Wind Waker, it's said that the departure of the Hero of Time cause the Triforce of Courage to break into pieces. The Hero of Winds has to Reassemble them before taking on Ganondorf.

Gonna need an updated list eventually. I reckon TotK is going to be the most powerful Ganon in canon 😁

[@everestjackson4421]

I’m thoroughly convinced that TotK Ganondorf is going to be a Lich or a Lich-equivalent being, meaning that his spirit would be unkillable unless his phylactery is found and destroyed. Ganondorf is clearly seen to be highly proficient in necromancy (blood moons in BotW are massive resurrection events and are the best example of his necromantic abilities), which is necessary for becoming a Lich. It would also explain the line in BotW saying Ganon gave up on reincarnation, implying he has at least searched for immortality. I think this also explains why in the TotK trailers Ganondorf is a mummified corpse. Liches are the highest form of undead, retaining all of their living memories and intelligence while taking the form of a skeletal or mummified body.

The opening scene of TotK kinda made it clear that the BotW/TotK Ganon is the strongest we’ve seen. Not even considering what he did during that intro cutscene, you need to acknowledge this: throughout BotW, Ganondorf’s human form is trapped underneath Hyrule Castle. But his evil magic is seeping out into the world still, manifesting as Calamity Ganon. Calamity Ganon took control of the divine beasts, beat Link and was held back for 100 years by Zelda so Link could revive and return to save a destroyed kingdom. Calamity Ganon nearly won and he was just a projection of a sealed Ganondorf. He didn’t even recognize Link in the opening cutscene despite his aspect having been banished by Link in the previous game. Your video didn’t cover that because we didn’t have the information yet, but I don’t think there’s any Ganon who can touch the sheer power of BotW/TotK Ganondorf who can nearly destroy Hyrule and only be narrowly defeated all accidentally while unconscious and imprisoned, unaware it’s even happening. TotK showed us the man behind the earthquake who’s very existence is a threat even when he’s “defeated”. Disclaimer: I haven’t beaten TotK yet so please no spoilers on the ending. I only mentioned the opening scene for a reason :)

Something important to remember is that the full Triforce grants ALTTP Ganon protection from the Master Sword, even when upgraded twice.

The blade merely stuns him for a few seconds, forcing the Hero of Legend to use 5 Silver Arrows to send Ganon to his grave.

Not just one like the Triforce of Wisdom. We also know that Ganon doesn't have his triforce so it's a hypothesis I suppose. You could say if she had the full triforce she would of been able to defeat Ganon without having to seal him, which is probably true. And that also calls into regard of the triforce of courage. Though understanding where or what sealing magic is or comes from besides just from the triforce of wisdom is confusing. As if the triforce of wisdom possessed all the power to seal a being like Ganon away, wouldn't she of been able to do it by herself in Ocarina of Time? Instead of having to use the sages to assist?

[@thestellarvoid9529]

I can 200% agree that Link to the Past Ganon is the most powerful Ganon. Few Ganons ever came close to the sheer power shown in LTTP's Ganon and those guys were terrifying in their own right. LTTP Ganon was literally 1 step away from legit total victory. He was powerful enough to nearly bring the end times with just the triforce of power years before he even reshaped the sacred realm and kidnapped the descendants of the sages. Imagine being so powerful that even the guardians of the sacred realm and the literal people destined to wield and safeguard the triforce can't beat you. This guy beat Hyrule twice, once as Ganondorf and a second time as Agahnim, and he had complete control over the sacred realm too. He had complete dominion over Hyrule and its forces while being imprisoned, had complete control over the triforce, corrupted the sacred realm to the point he was pretty much god, and banished/killed every single one of the sages descendants with the exception of Zelda. No lie this dude was 99/100. He was the closest any Ganon got to a flawless victory. And what's even more terrifying is this is the same Ganon seen in Ocarina of Time which means this is the SECOND time he faces Link. I can't actually think of a logical reason why Ganon in LTTP lost, tbh. Like outside of the plot demanding Link wins I don't see how Ganon could have lost. He had literally everything. Only reason why he was 99/100 wasn't because of his power but because he just didn't manage to get Zelda banished in time. I mean, Ganon even says he's in disbelief Link manages to beat him.

Never really noticed it but there's so many Post-Apocalyptic Zelda games. It's kinda scarry. I sure wouldn't wanna live in Hyrule. I also feel kind of bad for Ganon for how often he is defeated by having a sword or arrow stuck into his head. But in my opinion, BotW Calamity Ganon is probably the most powerfull Ganon. Even without the Triforce of Power, he was basically immortal, he had titanic powers that i'm sure would easily overpower any of the other ganons, and while he definitely wasn't as intelligent as other ganons... he won. He flatout won. Yeah Link was ressurrected. But he was fataly injured, the king was dead, the champions dead, the land laid to waste, not only the Hylians but all of the sentient beeings in Hyrule were nearly eradicated, and even Zelda was only able to slow him down by putting him and herself in stasis, WHILE WIELDING THE COMPLETE TRIFORCE NONTHELESS. And again, he basically killed Link once. He is also the only Ganon who could not be defeated by traditional means. All the others, including the King Ganon from A Link to the Past who owned all of the Tri-Force were defeated with a magic item, be it Silver or Light Arrows or the Master Sword. But Calamity Ganon? He wasn't. In his Half-Ressurected Form the Master Sword still damaged him, but when he became Malice Incarnated even the Master Sword, even the Light Arrows were useless. The only way to defeat him was to basically wish him dead via Tri-Force. That means all mortals and all they had to offer was powerless against this beeing. Only by using the most omni-potent, almighty tool of the goddesses were they able to finally destroy him. I don't know about you but in my book, if you face a foe who is so powerfull that you can only turn to the gods, to send you a magic device that grants any wish, so you can wish that foe dead because there literally doesn't exist any way to beat him in your world, then that is the most powerfull enemy you can possibly face. My personal favorite is probably the Windwaker one. But there's no question that Calamity Ganon is the most dangerous and strongest one.

Kinda like a Kim Jun Un, who makes it appear things are great and people are happy, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll find some really bad stuff. That way, even though we are the good guy, many of the regular people in the story will see us as the bad guy. Then you have to expose the evil underneath the surface, which will only get some of the people on your side while the rest stay brainwashed or choose to stay because it benefited them personally, even if it's been bad for some. You'll have to start sneaky, then build a resistance movement once you get some support. I think it would be a cool and nuanced story.

Now these statements are obviously hyperbolic so we should in turn analyse from where these powers came from. The Light Force is part of Zelda, and Zelda is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia, a deity that is inferior to the Golden Goddesses for evident reasons; in the past Hylia couldn't use the Triforce to erradicate Demise and his demons as deities can't use the Triforce, this fact instantaneously puts the top gods above everything that have been seen in Minish Cap, just as the Triforce itself. It's even worse for Vaati as he didn't even acquired the Light Force (which is inferior to the Triforce) he just got a portion of it, which means the Four Sword is not at the level of the Master Sword. And Vaati would in turn not be at the level of A Link to the Past Ganon, possibly neither Yuganon with two chunks of the Triforce.

@@briannedechateaudbs5011 I'd like it if they acknowledged that they aren't even dealing with Ganon anymore, they're dealing with pure hatred manifest into a physical entity. That hatred has become a supernatural being of its own. Because that's effectively what's happening in BotW.
