—Ganondorf to Link

King Ganondorf Dragmire, also known as Ganon, is the main antagonist of the 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. He returned for the 116th episode, Ganondorf VS Dracula, where he fought against Dracula Vlad Ţepeş from the Castlevania series.

History

Long ago, on the verge of defeat, the demon king Demise foretold the coming of an incarnation of his wrath which 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 desert 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 became known for many titles, including "Demon King" or "Ganon". But in all timelines that diverge from his initial attempt, Ganondorf faces opposition from generations of heroes named after the first Zelda's champion: Link.
