Ganon
1998 – Ocarina of Time
The first appearance of Ganondorf, the original form of Ganon. This is where the image of a red haired demon thief used in later instalments was established.
2001 – Oracles
This design is reminiscent of that of the first Zelda. Is the spear he holds in his hand the same as the one used in A Link to the Past?
2002 – The Wind Waker
This is the very same Ganondorf as the one from Ocarina of Time, but his appearance has changed considerably to a dignified figure like that of a king.
2006 – Twilight Princess
Rugged and clad in armor, this incarnation gave the impression of a strong warrior. Through his transformation he became even closer to a beast.
