Ganondorf Dragmire
By: puncledorf Date: February 17, 2019, 10:27 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[font=times new roman]“Welcome to my castle.”
“Hero? …I’ve outlived more ‘heroes’ than you can possibly
imagine.”
“You dare raise the blade of evil’s bane to me? So be it.
Hyrule’s blood will be on your hands.”
“So you put all your faith in this hero and then worry he’ll get
hurt? How touching… and pitiful.”
“Is that all? I expected the hero to be something more than a
minor diversion.”
“I am Ganondorf, the Demon King. Don’t take that title lightly…”
“Come now… Stand before me.”
Name: Ganondorf Dragmire
Height: 9 foot 2 inches (2.8 meters)
Shoulder Width: 4 foot 3 inches (1.3 meters) (average man is
about 1'5″/0.43m)
Weight: 2100 lb (952.54 kilo) without the armor, mostly from his
size and muscle density with the amount of bone density required
to support that stature. (A general rule of nature is twice the
size usually means eight times the weight.)
Titles: The Dark Lord, Gerudo King, King of Darkness, Emperor of
the Dark Realm, Demon King, Holder of Power, Chosen of Din,
Cursed of Demise, Heir of Demise, Heir of Power, Desert King,
God, Demon of Legend, Master, Monster, Lord, King, Emperor, the
list goes on as to what he has been titled, what people have
called him throughout history, both his servants and his enemies
have given him countless names as anything from a horrid terror
of unimaginable and ultimate evil to the godly creator of life
and chosen leader of all.
Species: Human
Race: Gerudo
Age: 32 at the end of Ocarina of Time in the Adult Timeline, 56
during his execution in the Child Timeline, ranges by hundreds
to thousands of years across the time beyond that.
Family: Biological mother of unknown name deceased by age 5,
Koume and Kotake “Twinrova” as the surrogate mothers and twins
who trained him, considers most of the Gerudo to be distant
sisters or even something of a loose daughter’s relationship due
to the father-like role he has played previously in their
governance, some would worship him as something approaching a
god. He lost much of this in later lives, when the culture of
the Gerudo shifted away from when he ruled, he no longer
recognizes those he might have once called daughters, and in
some timelines the Gerudo have ceased to exist entirely, at
least to his knowledge.
Languages: Ganondorf’s knowledge extends to a wide range of
languages including the language of the Blin, Ancient Gerudo,
Gerudo, Ancient Hylian, Hylian, Shikah, Goddess Scripture
(oldest known text in Hyrule, perfected in reading, heavily
limited in the spoken language though), and the basics of Goron
and Zora.
MBTI: INTJ-Assertive, The Architect (Analyst, Confident
Independent)
“My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the
sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And
when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale
pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the
same thing… Death. But the winds that blew across the green
fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and
ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose.”
”Do you sleep still? Wait! Do not be so hasty, boy… I can see
this girl’s dreams… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans… Oceans as
far as the eye can see. They are vast seas… None can swim across
them… They yield no fish to catch… What did the King of Hyrule
say?… That the gods sealed Hyrule away? And they left behind
people who would one day awaken Hyrule?! How ridiculous… So many
pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands,
drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool…
What they can possibly hope to achieve? Don’t you see? All of
you… Your gods destroyed you! I have been waiting for you, boy.
For one like you… Yes… For the hero. Do not betray my
expectations.”
“Do not fear. I will not kill you… I merely have need of the
power that dwells within you.”

Basic Overview
Ganondorf is a man of extreme emotions with equally extreme self
control who sometimes tires of his own anger. He is the chosen
being to embody Din’s power, yet also chosen to embody Demise’s
hatred, combined with his own will fighting for his own agenda.
Ganondorf seeks control, control over himself, his surroundings,
his destiny, to be free of the influence of others and demand
that fate end its game, be free of the endless cycle and tear
apart those who intend to put their own power over his. Any who
attempt to wave authority over him will find themselves his
eventual enemy, and one does not lightly make enemies with those
who compare to gods.
Philosophy
The nature of this world is a cruel reality, one that most
are either too weak, too ignorant, or too unwilling to
understand; too comfortable in their own little cells with their
own little worlds bound and crafted by other tiny ideas and the
meaningless lines of those that surround them — shaped by every
other infantile mind. This world is one of chains, long, heavy,
thick iron links that lock around those who walk this earth.
Every single life on this planet is chained by anyone and
everyone who they allow to set their own boundaries for them,
many are given this power freely out of some bureaucratic
traditional nonsense like the nobles of Hyrule. How I loath that
culture, giving your chains to someone simply for their birth.
In my culture it is power that rules, whether that power come
from strength, courage, or wisdom, the will, the want, and the
ability to do what is necessary. If the king is weak he has no
right to rule, the kings are raised to be the best, groomed with
the intention of becoming leaders, but if they are weak they
forfeit all rights to the crown, it is a much better
representation of reality. All on this ball of dust are strung
like puppets to someone else in one way or another… except those
who hold their own bonds, the masters of their realms who refuse
to bow. Not to gods, not to kings, not to knights or princesses,
for they strive to be more. But why would someone strive to be
cast in irons? I’ve come to the conclusion they do so because it
is an easier life, a weaker life, a safer life, serving others.
Someone else takes care of you, makes decisions for you, sets
your path, dirties their hands in your stead, and breaking free
of this is an endless war fraught with agony and struggle. It’s
much easier to allow others their power over you and live in
blissful ignorance.
There is only one method of escaping these metal clasps —
power. Through my strength and knowledge I gain in power and
through power I gain control — through control my chains are
broken. Only this can set me free, and in the process I grab the
chains of others, not because that is the intent, but because
that is the only path to becoming free, to ending fate’s grip on
me. It is a burden as much as it is a blessing, especially when
paired with this knowledge of the world and its workings. Only
the greatest of masters is truly free. Until then, one is
enslaved by these shackles of fate and a tangled web of puppet
strings. Make no mistake, some are still greater than others,
some are more honorable, more wise or brave, some even
respectable, but all are still encased in iron of one form or
another, and even at the head of all these cast links the
responsibility one has gripped onto is a heavy weight, but if
one has enough power to rise above all the chains, to hold the
entire world of binding metal, and to not be pulled down by
them, then that person is truly free.
It is the ultimate responsibility of leaders to care for
those under their chains, and those that fight the shackles must
be put down by his power or he will no longer be a leader. The
burden of the master, to hold the chains of all those beneath
him, to provide for them, and make sure none replace him, making
impossible decisions that lead to terrible events so as to try
and protect his power, as well as protect those he’s climbed on
top of to reach this position. No matter how cruel or dark those
deeds may be they are necessary in such a world. Everyone else
has this iron dragging behind them, they surrender themselves to
some higher power, even the Hyrulean King surrenders to others
such as the supposed gods or some outdated traditions. I refuse
to allow any such foolishness to chain me, I refuse to be tamed,
to be put on a leash, and that is why I am a monster to those
who hide from reality in their safe little cells of iron, living
in their small, comfortable worlds.
~ Ganondorf Dragmire
Gerudo Warrior, Demon King, Master and Monster of Hyrule
”When the chosen ones appear… they are always born into this
world in perfect balance. That is the destiny of the chosen.
That is the fate decreed by the gods in which you believe, the
only path for those who bear their crests. When this world
brings forth another marked as you are… know too, that it shall
also be visited by one of my blood. Do not think this ends here.
The history of light and shadow will be written in blood!” ~
Script cut from Twilight Princess
Childhood (all main Zelda timelines)
In his extremely early youth Ganondorf was actually relatively
excitable and energetic, constantly filled with wonder at the
world guided by a gentle hand. However, the duty of the throne
comes very early in the Gerudo, and with his mother’s death in
his early days there was no gentle guiding hand to dullthe
strikes that prepared him for it. The lead elders of the ruling
council, Koume and Kotake, became his surrogate mothers within a
year, demanding his training and beating into him how much
relies on him and the importance of control and command. The boy
was hardened, focused, honed towards the warrior he would
become. From when he began training in his fifth year of life to
the end of his sixteenth most of his interpersonal contact had
been with the elite trainers, the elders, and sorcerers at least
thrice his own age. Few times was he allowed to leave behind his
training or interact with others, not that he even wanted to
consider anything else most of the time after the first few
years. The Gerudo Prince dedicated his life to learning the ways
of a leader; becoming an all-encompassing obsession in his life.
He grew incredibly capable through the brutal trials, often
thrown into pits of enemies and mauled to the brink of death
before being healed and attempting again, then again with
blindfold and other inhibitors once he succeeded the trial,
honing his every sense as he studied military doctrine,
diplomacy, deception, and subterfuge. He would be thrown to
packs of beasts until it was the beasts that fell. When he was
allowed to interact with those about his age he was entering
half way through his teen years and it was done so he would be
able to lead teams and function in combat, to get a more
practical understanding of his people, to to better practice his
socialization and diplomacy as more preparation for the crown.
There were only a handful of Gerudo he ever really interacted
with on a more personal level, as such while well studied and
extremely knowledgeable of interpersonal and diplomatic
relations in practice he was stiff, harsh, and cold, it took
time to ease him into such interactions and still he maintained
a level of detachment throughout his adulthood in most cases.
Adulthood (all main Zelda timelines)
When Ganondorf rose to power he understood his position. He was
the leader of a small nation in a barren desert that has been
raiding with minor skirmishes to full scale wars with against
the dominant powers long before coming to power himself with no
way to end the raids unless starving to death is an option.
There was little to offer and much to demand if he wanted to do
what he was raised for, he needed to gain complete control of
the negotiations. There were a few attempts made to see if a
less violent solution could be attained, to see if he could
perhaps use the other kingdoms to seize what he saw as
necessary, but any agreements he could find were at best
extortion. It was unacceptable. The Gerudo were being strangled
slowly and steadily by their empty lands, forcing them to either
capitulate and surrender their culture and way of life to gain
favors from other kingdoms or eventually go extinct if nothing
changes. Both options meant the death of the Gerudo, just one
was spiritual rather than physical. The Great Ganondorf, as many
Gerudo would come to call him, attempted first to gain more
leverage but found his needs denied. With no apparent better
solution and no method to avoid violence but the unthinkable
choice of surrender he decided to feign submission. For nearly a
decade Ganondorf carried on the deception that he was completely
under the command of Hyrule, acting as an attack dog for the
dirty work of the nobles, the fool of a king surrounded himself
with rats and flies in his ignorance, just as he praised the
predator preparing to feast upon the court as a loyal ally.
Ganondorf plotted carefully and slowly, Hyrule held the artifact
at its heart like a looming threat against any who oppose its
power, he would need to acquire this if he was to be victorious.
With the death of their king and their most holy relic stolen,
the symbolism alone should be enough to bring submission.
Reign of Ganondorf (Adult & Downfall timelines, Ocarina of Time)
The end of King Hyrule’s reign was swift, brutal, and efficient.
In one sweep the supports of the old regime were either weakened
to complete helplessness like the Zora and the Gorons or slain
like the life deity of the forest known as the Great Deku Tree.
The collapse of Hyrule gave rise to Ganondorf’s empire. However,
while all power structures against him were disabled, some
resistance still remained. Upon reaching into the Sacred Realm
only the Triforce of Power stayed with him as the remaining two
pieces escaped his grasp. Unforeseen complications damaged his
rule, requiring brutal responses and the harshest of
punishments. Lord Ganondorf despised the disorder, the failures
that kept arising, by all means nothing should have been able to
disrupt his rule. It should have been total conquest if it was
following any logical solution from all of his meticulous
planning — and yet, rebellions continued to form that favored
the pitiful, decaying fool that came before. Entire towns
required being beaten into submission, Castle Town, the Goron
stronghold, and the Zora specifically violently rejected him and
took drastic measures so as to attempt to isolate and restrain
the outbreak, he needed to kill the leaders, and so he used
threats of complete annihilation. He took to measures he would,
in the case of the Adult timeline, look back on with regret. No
matter, his actions were defeated under the sword of the chosen
hero. His empire crumbling in just seven years, he could not
comprehend how quickly all of his plans which had been so
successful in the immediate events, that had planned for every
available detail, collapsed before him from unknowable
variables. It strained on his sanity, the betrayal of his
closest ally further breaking apart not only his reign but his
state of mind. The Gerudo King steadily grew unstable, paranoid,
volatile, hurt further by the discovery another of his close
servants had been against him from the beginning and in
possession of the very thing he sought most, what could one do
but laugh at the cruel humor fate so enjoys? Still… if he could
gather the Triforce he would be victorious, not even that
annoying child, the wretched sages, and all their allies would
be able to stand against such immense force. So, after capturing
the princess who had hidden under his nose with the Triforce of
Wisdom, he waited for the boy carrying the Triforce of Courage
to come to him, to meet him on his terms. Even with the sages
suppressing his powers, the sword shimmering, and himself forced
to use his power to keep others at bay, he was confident in his
victory, he was a warrior since birth and the greatest sorcerer
of his time after all.
Failure, War of Revival, the Great Flood (Adult timeline)
Ganondorf fell. The Gerudo King failed to hold against such
numerous and powerful forces and, in his desperation, awoke
something truly monstrous that lurked inside him. Demise’s curse
coursed through him as he clung onto life and the Triforce of
Power called out to his wrath, reviving the shattered bones and
ruptured heart, sealing his wounds and bringing him strength.
Even so, he was weak and steadily worn down after taking what
would usually be fatal wounds. in his damaged and tired state
the sages who channeled the gods were able to cast him out from
the realm of light. He was forced in the void for more than a
hundred years before cracking it open and reentering the world
with blade in hand, commanding an immense army and reuniting the
Gerudo once more under his banner. The war at his revival was
almost as swift as his first conquest had been. Simple,
overwhelming power ravaging the enemy armies and tearing through
the joint forces in his sudden strikes, he masterfully painted
the battlefields with the blood of soldiers. When Ganondorf was
at the cusp of victory, his armies marching and Gerudo following
him once more into the lands of Hyrule, his enemies retreating
into the mountains, it began to rain, it began to rain more than
it had ever before. Hyrule became an ocean, his armies drowned,
and his powers sealed as he became trapped beneath it with the
meager few remains of his troops were not swept away by the
torrential tide being sealed from use. He was alone again,
trapped yet again on the verge of victory.
Sinking of Hyrule (Adult timeline, Wind Waker)
The weight of death and sacrifice on Ganondorf’s shoulders had
become heavy, he stood with great power, yet his subjects died
in droves and every time he nears victory, every time the
kingdom is in his grasp, it slipped through at the last moment.
His maturity has grown, his self control near absolute, he
slowly salvaged what he could from the devastation, forcing
himself to focus on what he had available and ignore his
conscience. Surrounded by the bones of those who did not make it
to the mountains, of his sisters and servants as well as the
citizens who had not been alerted or were too weak or slow to
escape, a seal of the gods above, his powers waning under the
oppressive force of the Master Sword, he had very little to work
with. It took uncounted centuries for him to crack a hole in the
seal and begin to learn the status of the world. His wars fading
into legend, they called him evil, yet he never wrought such
destruction as the gods and King Hyrule. They praise the flood,
the fools, abandoned, destroyed, everything taken from them by
their gods and yet they praised it as they were scattered,
surrendering to fate and accepting destruction, how sad and
pathetic they all were, how blind and arrogant. Ganondorf rose
out from the ocean and conquered an old fortress, one over his
own home country which had long been abandoned and the pirates
that had acquired it were swiftly dealt with for their crimes.
While greatly limited, his powers still remained, they failed to
strip him entirely and with each day more and more began to slip
out from the Master Sword. Ganondorf began to search the lands
for the Triforce again. He would find the chosen hero and the
princess reborn once more. He chuckled at the nostalgia, he was
so much more than the child they fought before, and these two
were infants, hopeless of stopping him as they blundered into
his trap. There were some minor inconveniences along the way,
interruptions and unkowns which annoyed him but nothing
significant. Something was still sinking the land though… one of
his old enemies the Great Deku Tree shared his goals but blamed
him for the continued growth of the seas. Something was amiss…
another player? Still, all his plans came to fruition. The boy
defeated the meager puppet he had to test the child, but was
swept aside effortlessly on the tower, and the Triforce was in
the grasp of the Gerudo King. Finally, he could sweep away the
gods of old, the antiquated subservience to beings who left them
to rot. Ganondorf would gain command and nothing would be above
him again. Hyrule and all its riches would be saved, the people
would be brought back to the world they had left behind, he
would rule his kingdom and everything shall be restored. He
threw his hand for the Triforce and found a spirit had taken it
at the last possible moment, the spirit of the one who had asked
for Hyrule to drown. He had done everything right, he even
avoided killing, he had granted many mercies, yet, here, even
closer than before, everything was taken again, even his
Triforce piece and Hyrule itself had been stolen from his grasp
this time with the kingdom lost forever. Once more, all he could
do was laugh at the cruelty of fate as everything he had done,
all of his sacrifices, every death and every casualty, every
kill, every action he had ever taken was made for naught and all
he sought destroyed before him. How funny. Still, he would not
be consumed by the demon like he had been the first time. Even
in his wrath he kept control, he merely rendered the princess
unconscious, he prevented his demon from coming forth, and for
that he was slain. The Master Sword sealed him in stone and left
him at the bottom of the sea as what was left of Hyrule drowned
with him. How cruel the winds of change could be…
Downfall (Downfall timeline)
Ganondorf defeated the boy who sought his destruction in his
castle, taking up the Triforce to enforce his rule and end the
rebellions that plague him. However, without knowledge of the
demon lurking inside and completely unprepared the beast the
demonic side was able to use the Triforce to take total control
over the Gerudo King. Ganondorf was consumed under the sudden
raging ocean of power that flowed over him leaving the beast
known as Ganon. The hatred, the anger, the fears and sorrows,
rage, wrath, those remained while he was stripped of the depth
of his character and leaving the demon beast in possession. The
war continues to wage with rebirths and resurrections of the
demon, ever steadily reducing the mind that was once Ganondorf
further and further from its once capable, sharp, intellectual
being and falling to little more than the beast it is called,
given one of immeasurable sorcery and power.
The Dark Lord’s War (Child timeline)
When the hero went back in time to his childhood, splitting the
timelines, he warned of Ganondorf’s plot and used the Triforce
as divine proof to his witness. Before the Great Ganondorf had
placed his pieces the preemptive strike destroyed his plans.
However, it did not succeed in capturing, nor killing the king,
vastly underestimating his early infiltrations that informed him
of the coming strike and failing to realize the power Ganondorf
already possessed even without the Triforce. Ganondorf began his
war. With such numbers as Hyrule’ against him a direct
engagement would be foolish, so he brought his forces back into
the forests, started massive fortifications along the mountains
and within the canyon that opens to the Gerudo. He brought
skirmish forces out deep into the territory of his enemy and
started a raiding campaign, forces attempting to enter the
Gerudo Desert would find themselves bogged down and surrounded
as cavalry rides in from the outside forces while the mountains
protect Gerudo warriors. Hyrule Castle itself was eventually
burned to the ground through the careful tactics, the town
destroyed. However, the other nations began to funnel their
forces against Ganondorf as well. Slowly, steadily his forces
were worn down, hunted, and pushed back, until he himself was
captured. The war concluded after over three decades, most of
Hyrule’s fortresses and towns devoured in flames and the Gerudo
retreating. The desert was sealed, the Spirit Temple transformed
into a massive prison, and for a few years Ganondorf was left in
its depths, only the sounds of his kin in pain accompanying him.
His anger and wrath festered in the deepest cell in what was
once a great room dedicated to the studies of sorcery and the
spirits of fallen sisters. When it finally came time for his
sentence to be carried out he resisted, as he always had, and
called out in his rage. The goddess known as Din answered the
call of the warrior, the Triforce of Power coming to its
champion as the sword of the sages dove through his chest.
The Twilight Age (Child timeline, Twilight Princess)
After surviving impalement Ganondorf erupted forth, crushing a
sage effortlessly as he drew the blade from his chest. Before he
could destroy his enemies and commit to war once more, the King
of the Gerudo was pulled to a prison which he could not escape
so easily. Slowly he drew from the desires and failures of those
who inhabited the realm. He gained a strong understanding of
suffering as he drew from the anguish and learned of his own
demon, he grew to understand the nature of the world far greater
than he had in his failed conquest, he learned of himself and
the history, the legends that could not be unveiled in a single
lifetime. Steadily he formulated his new plans, he anchored
himself to one who was denied the throne of the Twilight Realm,
promising power in exchange for servitude and assistance in his
own conquests. Ganondorf used his power to merge the two worlds,
breaking across realms and pulling both into darkness. He sought
to take both into his own hands, he was destined for this, a man
who holds both light and darkness with such power, even after
his home country was drowned in sand and all his kin either dead
or driven out, the world could still be taken, rebuilt. He
studied, he developed, he began his plot and ordered his
servants to make preparations. Sweeping through the lands once
more he took captive of Castle Town and forced capitulation in a
single calculated blow. He enacted some of the same extreme
steps he had planned out for worst case scenarios in his rule
from his first attempts, Ganondorf froze the Zora realm and
erupted Mount Doom, securing against two armies that had heavily
contributed to his previous defeat. His enemies were swift to
react, steadily beating back his creations and servants.
However, it mattered not to Ganondorf, the time it took was
enough as he drew the two worlds together. He could not entirely
heal, the wound through his chest still open, but he had been
able to grow in power and return to the world. His own eyes now
stared out over all of Hyrule, and he prepared for the boy that
was approaching. The Dark Lord had learned so much since his
previous life, so much about true power and the Triforce. He
wondered how much of a workout that little toy Midna had was
going to give him, she claimed it defied gods, well, he would
have to put that claim to rest.
Ganondorf did not survive the battle. He destroyed crushed the
relic, he survived a sling of arrows blessed by gods and
empowered by spirits, he took countless blows of the blade
forged in the heavens. Despite all he had survived, all he had
taken, even his power was not infinite, and it finally gave out
on the Master Sword that laid embedded in his chest. He died on
that blade.
Resurrection (Child timeline, Fourswords Adventure)
The Gerudo returned as traders and barters centuries after their
banishment, their history lost to the sands of time, ages more
passed before the birth of a new prince. They had settled in the
desert beside Hyrule, near a pyramid which housed an ancient
weapon of great power and darkness. It was a forbidden place,
but it called to the boy, screamed to him, like part of his soul
was sealed beneath its sandstone. When he found what he sought
he was not prepared, not grown enough to endure the memories and
pain, a mere infant to the pain and rage stored there. The boy
was swallowed by the storm, what was left was not the man he had
once been, nor the boy who could not ignore his own voice, but
the beast.
Dark Millennium (Breath of the Wild)
With the constant death and reincarnation Ganondorf’s mind is
fractured, broken. The damage to his very soul is severe and
threatening his existence, leaving him a beast of destruction
with little thought to speak of. Still, the desire to return to
as it once was pulls the demon known as Calamity Ganon. Seeking
rebirth it finds the resurrection chamber in Hyrule Castle and
takes it for itself, slaughtering all that would dare challenge
it as it does so. For the next hundred years it waits, sealed
within, suppressed by Zelda and attempting to return to the King
that came before. The beast is rage incarnate, while Ganondorf
is simply tired, exhausted from the struggle, though never
willing to stop his infinite war against the strings of fate.
Realm Beyond Time (Hyrule Warriors)
Ganondorf is a truly ancient being by the time he is sealed
here, his soul split across times, realities, dimensions to keep
it from reforming. Slowly, over millennia the pieces of his soul
manipulated events, dug into the minds of the very guards who
kept them sealed, and found their way out. He has manipulated
events to ensure his release and twist many to his cause. Using
the gates of time to gather his allies and build his armies
further than before. His conquest continues on again. Perhaps
this time fate will fall to him. Regardless of the outcome, he
has endless patience. Still, that doesn’t mean he’s going to
fight for it any less.
=Weapons=
“These toys are too much for you.”
Standing as the king of a race of warriors, a god of monsters,
and the ultimate Lord of Darkness, Ganondorf has a large
arrangement of weapons to bring to battle and summon to his
hand. Which of these are available to him depends on the time
period, timeline, age of the incarnation, etc.
Gerudo Greatsword — The sword used in his first incarnation, a
broad blade made of folded steel, a simple weapon but capable
against normal man in war. It was largely left to a ceremonial
role after he progressed with using the Triforce of Power.
Gerudo Dagger — The curved blade designed to dig around past
armor and pierce under the plate which he was armed with during
his first rise to power, though rarely used and more decorative.
Gerudo Cavalry Swords — A pair of slightly curved cavalry
swords, long and thin blades with ceremonial symbols and long,
distracting ribbons. Made after the flooding of Hyrule for both
combat and as a tribute to the lost past. “True/Genuine Gerudo”
is written on the base of its blade.
Demonic Great Swords — Three pairs of massive swords made from
the souls of demons, each of great power.
Ghirahim the Demon Sword — Inherited from the first Demon King,
the sword is one of the most powerful weapons, crafted to fight
gods from the soul of a demon lord able to transform from
servant to sword, he is absolutely loyal to the one title Demon
King.
The King’s Trident — Forged for Ganondorf with his powers laid
in its foundation, connected to the Triforce of Power, this
weapon is of compare to even Ghirahim and the Master Sword,
flowing with the brightest lightning and darkest flames, it
embodies the very soul of its master and the power that he
carries.
Sword of the Seven Sages — Stolen from the sages who failed to
execute him, it is a blade of strong mystic power, though
despite its great strength it can be found lacking when compared
to some of the other weapons in his arsenal.
Triforce of Power — Not exclusively a weapon but it can be used
as such. The piece crafted by Din as an integral part of the
very fabric of reality always flows to Ganondorf’s grasp,
whether it be by the will of the Goddess or some manipulation of
how the Triforce acts it has repeatedly answered his call. The
Triforce of Power enhances its wielder with even greater magic
and durability.
=Powers & Skills=
As with weapons not every power is available to every Ganondorf
at all times. This depends on period, timeline, state of well
being, etc. This is also not an absolute complete list but it
provides for the most part.
Natural Physical Traits
“Behold the power of a Gerudo warrior!”
Agility — Gerudo are especially agile compared to other humans.
Though Ruto still largely exceed them in an open field, the
Gerudo are superior in much closer quarters. Most Gerudo are
capable of incredible leaps and bounds up to three times their
own heights and the strength to take the impact from a fall.
Ganondorf is no exception and enhances his own natural
capabilities with magic to provide more control as his powerful
legs pounce through the air at great distances.
Scent — In addition, Gerudo of his time generally possessed a
greatly heightened sense of smell and could easily track a query
if the winds are calm. Similar to a wolf the could pick out
scents with ease and track most targets, though they lack the
acute sense of hearing of a Hylian.
Strength — With heavier, denser bones and muscles to keep his
massive, heavy figure upright which have been trained shortly
after his earliest memories, Ganondorf’s raw physical power is
something to behold. Even without magical enhancement he is a
frightening display of might, able to bare down two thousand
pounds into his strikes with deadly accuracy, skill from the
harshest of training and hundreds of years of battle behind him,
he makes a frightening opponent.
Mystical Capabilities
“You cannot defeat me with a blade that does not sparkle with
the power to repel evil! What you hold is useless.”
Durability — The King of Darkness cannot be harmed by
conventional means. Between the Triforce, the inheritance of
Demise, and his own natural powers Ganondorf is not easily
wounded, it takes great power to even begin to restrain his
actions as normal blades will not so much as shave his beard. It
takes weapons that pierce souls and banish sorcery to cause the
smallest of scratches upon his skin, his defeats have required
the combined efforts of sages and warriors with great ability to
seal him, ancient artifacts of extreme power and the directed
energy of the gods. To come against the Emperor of the Dark
Realm, the one who was chose by both Din and Demise being
unprepared is to exercise a creative form of suicide, or at
least an utterly embarrassing defeat.
“So you’re the entertainment? I think I’ll rather enjoy this.”
Power — Ganondorf stands an immense foe, even without the
assistance of his sorcery he is ferocious, with it, his strength
can walk through castle walls with a shrug and easily cleave
through mountains when applied properly.
Flight — The ability to fly and levitate, lifted by the powers
he commands with ease as he carries himself through the air.
Fire and Ice — Inheriting the knowledge from his surrogate
mothers, Ganondorf is capable of going as far as to freeze the
entire Zora Domain and erupt dead mountains into rivers of
magma, however he tends to neglect these abilities in combat,
preferring other methods of attack.
Unending Darkness — Control of weather, to plunge continents
into terrifying storms of constant lightning and blinding rains,
freezing blizzards, tornadoes, or other forms of bending nature
to his will.
Lightning Arc — Summoning the electricity of the skies Ganondorf
is able to command strikes down from the heavens and summon
their power to his blade to launch out at the target.
Lightning of Power — Summoned through the Triforce of Power, the
devastating golden arcs of lightning spark across it as it is
launched from hand or blade and explodes in a stunning attack
that burns through the nervous system and fries enemies from the
inside.
Draining Fire — Dark, purple flames that pull the life force
from those gripped by them as the blazing fire licks the air,
tasting it, seeking out its next meal.
Dimensional Tearing — By ripping a hole in the fabric of
reality, Ganondorf creates a portal between locations or realms
to travel from one to another, often using this to travel great
distances or to escape prison realms attempting to imprison him.
Dimensional Shift — In a similar way, Ganondorf can briefly
shift through dimensions, it is a much swifter but shorter
ranged variant of dimensional tears, easier to control and not
requiring a full split between dimensions but rather slipping
beneath the veil so to speak, like holding one's breath under
water rather than building a tunnel through it.
Land Manipulation — The ability to tear into the terrain and
transform it to fit his battlefield in destruction, tearing into
it and bathing it in fire or freezing it solid, to bring ruin or
creation as needed.
Beast Creation — Able to bring forth the demons of the Dark
Realm and create new beasts, even resurrecting monsters of old
to fight under his banner.
Possession & Mind Manipulation — Ganondorf rarely uses such
methods, preferring to rely on a sharp tongue and careful words
which are usually much less detectable and more reliable, plans
with more substance and a more encompassing trap. Still, it is
in his arsenal to take the minds of men and control the bodies
of even the most significant of sages given some time and the
right opportunity.
Telepathy — Ganondorf is able to converse with who he needs from
great distances. He may also use this to speak across language
barriers and adopt the language of others.
Eyes of Shadow — The Dark Lord watches through his servants and
shadows, observing entire battlefields and watching without
detection.
Lightning Reflexes — Ganondorf is able to deflect even arrows of
light with extreme skill and precision through flick of a blade,
a combination of his own honed abilities and the enhancements
his powers have afforded him.
King of Darkness — The Emperor of the Dark Realm controls
darkness itself, the very shadows come alive. Formless, yet able
to solidify into spears, claws, fangs, a sea of his dark powers
manifests itself from the demonic inheritance as he calls on the
powers of ruin tearing into the realm of light.
Presence of the King — When in the presence of Ganondorf at his
full power and intent on destruction, the mere proximity to him
can be of risk as the air seems to grow thin and try to strangle
anyone that dares oppose him. It has a heavy weight of dread and
panic that flows into the hearts of lesser beings and breaks
resistance before him.
“This resistance was pitiful. Oh well. Not every battle can be
worth retelling.”
===The Dark Beast Ganon===
“I… am… GANON!”
“Seek you the world? Seek you power? Does your soul despise
peace and thirst for more? Does your soul cry for destruction
and conquest? We grant you power to ruin the world. The power of
darkness. Evil spirit of magic trident. You are the King of
Darkness.” ~ Inscription upon the pyramid which had hidden away
the Trident of Power
Name: Ganon
Height: 38′ (11.6 meters) when standing, around 26′
(7.9 meters) when on all four of his limbs
Titles: Dark Beast, Demon King, King of Evil, King of Darkness,
King of Beasts, Hatred Incarnate, Blight of Hyrule, The Great
Calamity, Beast of Beasts, Demise’s Heir. Known by most as a
destroyer, though some monsters title him their god and worship
his return.
Species: Demon
=Personality=
While Ganon is not entirely different from Ganondorf, he is not
entirely the same either. Ganon is a combination of all of the
worst parts of Ganondorf, his pain, hatred, malice given
physical form. Often his intellect, his grand strategic mind is
blinded in this state. It is still capable of plotting unless
the resurrection is broken, but far more relentless and
reckless. Unlike Ganondorf the beast cares not for preserving
its conquest, it does not care if what it rules is naught but
ruin and destruction. Where Ganondorf seeks control the demon
craves chaos and despair, to slaughter its enemies abandoning
all other factors.
“What?! That raw patch of darkness, deeper than the blackest
night… Is… Is that Vaati? No, it’s not the wind sorcerer… No
matter, I must use my power to seal it away! Can’t breathe… My
strength is failing me… The very air around me is growing
thin…dying… I only need a bit… more power… MORE!!” ~ Zelda, as
Ganon appears before her.[/size][/font]
