====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:GanondorfMelee.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of Ganondorf from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Ganondorf appeared as an unlockable playable character, unlocked by either clearing Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering or by playing 600 Melee matches, and then defeating him in a one-on-one stock match. Like Link and Zelda, Ganondorf's appearance is based on his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', though he uses his "past" design instead of his "future" design. Ganondorf was not initially planned to appear in the game, but was later included since his body build was similar to that of Captain Falcon's. Like fellow secret characters [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Pichu]], Ganondorf makes a cameo appearance in the title's introduction. His hand can be seen, along with Link's and Zelda's, one of the three Triforce pieces glowing on each of their hands.
Ganondorf's moveset is mostly copied from [[Captain Falcon]]'s, the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to share moves with a character from another series. Compared to Falcon, Ganondorf is slower, stronger, larger, and heavier, meaning he is less mobile and attacks more slowly, but makes up for that with his greater attacking power and weight, making him harder to KO horizontally (though Falcon's faster fall speed makes him harder to KO vertically), and his added size, while making him easier to hit, also gives his attacks greater range. His standard special move is the [[#Warlock Punch|Warlock Punch]], his side special is the [[#Gerudo Dragon|Gerudo Dragon]], his up special is the [[#Dark Dive|Dark Dive]], and his down special is the [[#Wizard's Foot|Wizard's Foot]]. Ganondorf also possesses the strongest [[meteor smash]] move (his down aerial attack), and his up strong attack, despite being slow in execution, is stronger than most smash attacks. Ganondorf's attacks also deal dark damage, as opposed to the fire of Captain Falcon's attacks.
Though his official artwork portrays him with a sword, Ganondorf only uses the sword in a victory pose when he wins a match in one of the Melee modes. He is voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]], his voice actor in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' and ''[[

Ganondorf again appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He can be unlocked by clearing Classic mode with [[Link]] or [[Zelda]] on hard difficulty, playing 200 Brawl matches, or having Ganondorf join the party in The Subspace Emissary, which can be done by finding Link and Zelda during the stage "Subspace (Part II)"; using the former two methods, he must be defeated on [[Final Destination]] afterward to be unlocked. His appearance in this game is based on his appearance in ''[[
▲Ganondorf again appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He can be unlocked by clearing Classic mode with [[Link]] or [[Zelda]] on hard difficulty, playing 200 Brawl matches, or having Ganondorf join the party in The Subspace Emissary, which can be done by finding Link and Zelda during the stage "Subspace (Part II)"; using the former two methods, he must be defeated on [[Final Destination]] afterward to be unlocked. His appearance in this game is based on his appearance in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. He is also voiced by his voice actor from ''Twilight Princess'', [[Wikipedia:Hironori Miyata|Hironori Miyata]], using voice clips from said game. In The Subspace Emissary, not counting the [[False Character]]s, Ganondorf is the only playable villain character who is never fought.
Ganondorf, along with [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], is one of the only "clone" characters from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to return as playable characters in this game. Ganondorf is still a hard-hitting character in this game, but he is much more sluggish in movement. Also, some of his attacks are weaker than they were in ''Melee''. In addition, some of his moves have been altered or completely changed to make him a more unique character. His side special move has been replaced with the [[#Flame Choke|Flame Choke]], in which Ganondorf charges forward, grabs the opponent and chokes them, slamming them into the ground. His [[Final Smash]], [[#Beast Ganon|Beast Ganon]], involves him transforming into his [[Ganon]] form from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' and charging at enemies.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:GanondorfSSB4.png|thumb|Ganondorf's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
Ganondorf returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and as a default character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In the Nintendo 3DS version, players can unlock him by completing Classic mode with Link or Zelda on 5.0 intensity or higher or by playing 80 Smash matches, and they must defeat him in the subsequent match, taking place in [[Gerudo Valley]], to unlock him.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Ganondorf is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In this game, his design is based off of his "future" design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', albeit with white eyes instead of glowing yellow. He also uses the sword seen in the [[
▲Ganondorf is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In this game, his design is based off of his "future" design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', albeit with white eyes instead of glowing yellow. He also uses the sword seen in the [[zeldawiki:SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube Tech Demo|SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube tech demo]] and his artwork and victory pose in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' in all of his smash attacks. Also, his Final Smash has been altered, with Ganon taking his appearance from ''Ocarina of Time''. Ganon, powered up in this state, appears as a boss in Classic Mode, appearing in Link's, Young Link's, Toon Link's, and Zelda's routes. Ganondorf's up tilt is nicknamed the Volcano Kick, while his down tilt is Leg Sweep. He is now voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]], his voice actor from ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' again, receiving new voice clips. As with the other ''The Legend of Zelda'' fighters, Ganondorf's victory theme is now the different arrangement of the main theme from the series.
Ganondorf benefits from universal changes: his mobility is faster, his short hop timing is reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, his recovery is extended by the reintroduction of directional air dodging, and he has the abilities to use any ground attack out of a run and use any of his aerial attacks on ladders. Ganondorf also receives direct buffs: his [[Double Jump (airborne)|double jump]] grants more height, many of his attacks deal more damage and knockback, and some of his moves are also faster.
Line 119 ⟶ 117:
=====Warlock Punch=====
[[File:Ganondorf Warlock Punch Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Warlock Punch in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''Warlock Punch''' is Ganondorf's standard special move. The move is similar to [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Punch|Falcon Punch]], with Ganondorf charging up dark energy and unleashing it as a punch. Compared to the Falcon Punch, the Warlock Punch is more powerful, dealing more damage and knockback, but takes longer to execute. Also, like the Falcon Punch, the move is more powerful when used in the air.
Line 147 ⟶ 144:
=====Gerudo Dragon=====
[[File:Melee-GerudoDragon.png|thumb|Gerudo Dragon]]
'''Gerudo Dragon''' is Ganondorf's side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' only. Similar to Captain Falcon's [[Captain Falcon#Raptor Boost|Raptor Boost]], Ganondorf charges forward and deals an uppercut to any opponents in his path, dealing more power and knockback, though it is slower. The move is capable of deflecting projectiles, but does not have the Raptor Boost's [[meteor smash]] property when used in the air.
=====Flame Choke=====
[[File:Ganondorf Flame Choke Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Flame Choke in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''Flame Choke''' is Ganondorf's side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing Gerudo Dragon from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Although it retains some properties from the Gerudo Dragon, and by extension Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost, the move instead has Ganondorf charging forward, grabbing any nearby opponents, choking them with dark energy, and slamming them to the ground. The aerial version of the move does leave Ganondorf helpless when it ends, however. Likewise, Ganondorf enters a helpless state if he falls off a ledge while using the move. The attack's knockback is set, regardless of damage, so it's not able to KO anyone by itself, but Ganondorf can potentially make suicide KOs while using it.
Line 179 ⟶ 174:
=====Dark Dive=====
[[File:Ganondorf Dark Dive Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Dark Dive in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''Dark Dive''' is Ganondorf's up special move. When used, Ganondorf leaps up into the air, similar to Captain Falcon's [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Dive|Falcon Dive]]. If the move hits an opponent, he grabs them and deals multiple hits with electric damage, which can also damage other opponents, before knocking them away with an explosion, and like the Falcon Dive, the player can use the move again after an opponent is hit. Although the Dark Dive does not have as much jump height as the Falcon Dive, it is more powerful in that its knockback is stronger.
Line 207 ⟶ 201:
=====Wizard's Foot=====
[[File:Ganondorf Wizard's Foot Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Wizard's Foot in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''Wizard's Foot''' is Ganondorf's down special move, and is similar to Captain Falcon's [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Kick|Falcon Kick]]. When used, Ganondorf slides across the ground, kicking any opponents in his path. Opponents who are damaged by the attack get sent flying forward at a sideways angle. Although the move is more powerful, Ganondorf slows down when it hits. When it is used in the air, Ganondorf kicks down diagonally, instead of straight forward. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the aerial move has a meteor smash effect throughout, though in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', this is limited only to the start of the move. In addition, Ganondorf creates a small shockwave when he lands, which can knock opponents into the air.
Line 233 ⟶ 226:
====Final Smash====
=====Beast Ganon=====
[[File:BeastGanon-Smash4WiiU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Beast Ganon in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''Beast Ganon''' is Ganondorf's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', based on his [[Ganon|beast form]] from ''[[

'''Ganon, The Demon King''' is Ganondorf's new Final Smash for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where he takes on his final form from ''[[
