Ganondorf

"I am Ganondorf, the Demon King. Don't take that title lightly."

- Ganondorf

Ganondorf Dragmire is the main antagonist of the Legend of Zelda series. He appeared in the 59th episode of Death Battle, Bowser VS Ganon, where he fought against Bowser from the Super Mario series.

History
Long ago, on the verge of defeat, the demon king Demise foretold the coming of an incarnation of his wrath who would continuously plague the descendants of the mortal incarnation of Hylia and her champion for all time. This would come to pass when a boy is born among the women of the Amazonian tribe known as the Gerudo: Ganondorf. Having been taught in the ways of Gerudo thievery and magic, Ganondorf became the Gerudo king and attempted to claim the Triforce from the Hyrulian Royal family, whose first-born princesses are named after their family's founding mother Zelda, Hylia's mortal form. As a result, he came to be known as many titles that include "Demon King" or "Ganon". But in all three timelines that diverge from his initial attempt, Ganondorf faced opposition from generations of heroes named after the first Zelda's champion: Link.
