      the most intimidating thing of all, is his hyrule compendium entry, saying he’s a “master of every known weapon”. In battle, he can switch between 4 weapons (single hand, 2-hand, spear, and even a bow). The closest you can get is lynels but only 2 weapons.

    I love how much of a duel TotK Ganondorf feels like. Most of the game feels like I'm hacking and slashing away at enemies, save Lynels. Ganondorf feels like a challenge because he can avoid attacks and answer back. Every attack has to be calculated and every parry has to be flawless. I found this fight fun and engaging, and while people may say it's not the best Ganondorf fight, until Wind Waker or Twilight Princess gets ported it's my best baseline.

    Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf is not only a vast improvement over Calamity Ganon as both an overarching villain of the game and final boss fight, but just might even be my new favorite final boss in any game ever:
    Like Phantom Ganon in the game, his moves are telegraphed through the four weapon types but he hits both harder and faster to where he can dodge Matrix-style just like Link. Just that from the boss tells you this is Link’s greatest foe and even his Dark Link. The Demon Dragon segment also is far more climactic than Dark Beast Ganon.

    Ganondorf's best quotes are most certainly from Tears of the Kingdom.
    "How disappointing... This world should be shrouded in darkness, not bathed in insufferable light. All these weak, peace-loving cowards running rampant... It would have been more...satisfying to overcome a worthy foe.
    Regardless... I will reshape this world as it was meant to be. I will crush any opposition. I will rule. That is what a king must do.
    Enjoy these final moments. I will be taking far more than your arm this time."
    These truly bring out his villainy. And display just how much of a wicked character he is. They're definitely worth remembering.

    My favorite has to be Totk because it feels the most like a fully fledged sword fight, and I really love the cutscenes in between, the music, and the weapon swaps. It all came together to make a very satisfying fight.
    Least favorite has to be Oot. It was good then, but as the Zelda series aged it was left in the dust.

    I would have been more impressed by the elongated health bar if I wasn't already aware a Gleeok has more health than that second phase. (6500 vs 8000) Also TotK shows that, with every incarnation of Ganondorf, more and more of Demise is overtaking him, from his personality (starting out with more noble or tragic traits and becoming more straightforward evil over time) to his appearance. His Demon King form may as well be Demise in all but name.

They were not only his attempts to break free but to learn of the fabled swordsman who was destined to defeat him.

    I've been a Zelda fan since the NES was new. My favorite iteration of the Ganon fight is still Twilight Princess. I still think that game is the best of the pre-BotW 3D formula, even if I think A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game.
