* TacticalSuicideBoss: It tries to peck at you, gets stuck, and then you can break its mask with your Hammer. Nice going, [[JustForPun bird brain]].

The Twilit Dragon from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' who originally served as the boss of the City in the Sky dungeon. In the main story of ''Hyrule Warriors'', he initially appears in the Palace of Twilight as a boss among Zant's forces.

The sealed malice of an ancient Demon King trapped under the Sealing Grounds in the Era of the Sky.

A giant bird that served Ganondorf in the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Era of the Great Sea]], tasked with kidnapping all young girls with pointed ears.

A spectral warrior created by Ganondorf, from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''. He fights using two swords and energy balls.

[[Characters/TheLegendOfZeldaGanonGanondorf Ganondorf]]'s iconic boar form, the ultimate embodiment of darkness and evil in the Zelda universe.

[[spoiler:In ''Legends'', he's the FinalBoss of the Wind Waker epilogue, a story that is unlocked after all the other stories are cleared.]]

[[Characters/TheLegendOfZeldaGanonGanondorf Ganondorf]]'s iconic boar form, the ultimate embodiment of darkness and evil in the Zelda universe. [[spoiler:This time, powered by the ''entire'' Triforce!]]

* Animalistic Abomination: Complete with a dose of BodyHorror, this Ganon perhaps more than any before it, plays up the "demon" aspect to its fullest. Fitting as he is evil, darkness and hatred made flesh.

* EldritchAbomination: A giant ArmlessBiped covered in spiney scales with a horrifying amount of teeth and cute little toes.

* AnimalisticAbomination: This Ganon seems to be a cross between a mammoth, a boar, and a gorilla.

* EldritchAbomination: Complete with a dose of BodyHorror, this Ganon perhaps more than any before it plays up the "demon" aspect to its fullest.

%%* LargeHam: But of course.

** Some of his attacks allow him to use a trident, which is Ganon's iconic WeaponOfChoice in almost all games where he wields a weapon. Specifically, it's the trident wielded by Yuga Ganon from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]''.

* ProngsOfPoseidon: As a playable character, he uses a trident in his Weak Point Smash against giant bosses, and his Focus Special.

* CompositeCharacter: Of five previous Ganons. This Ganon takes his BossSubtitles and most of his visual cues from his ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation, while still looking humanoid enough to resemble his ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation. The end result is an apelike stature that [[FridgeBrilliance actually ends up resembling his classic NES build more than a fair bit]]. He also has the [[spoiler:complete Triforce]] like his ''Link to the Past'' incarnation. The trident he wields as a playable character, meanwhile, is the same one that Yuga Ganon wields in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds''.

Ganondorf's iconic boar form, the ultimate embodiment of darkness and evil in the Zelda universe. [[spoiler:This time, powered by the ''entire'' Triforce!]]

* FinalBoss: In true Zelda tradition. Also serves as the final challenge in Adventure Mode for every single map. [[spoiler:In ''Legends'', He's merely the FinalBoss of the main story, with Phantom Ganon serving as the TrueFinalBoss.]]

* PerpetualMolt: Like in its home game, it's constantly shedding feathers. Only this time, it seems to have found a way to weaponize to as it can now fire FeatherFlechettes at you.

[[spoiler:In Legends, he's the FinalBoss of the Wind Waker epilogue, a story that is unlocked after all the other stories are cleared.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Previous Phantom Ganons were always servants of Ganondorf and always served as regular bosses. The ''Wind Waker'' version in particular was a mere mini-boss. This Phantom Ganon, however, [[spoiler:serves as both the BigBad of the ''Wind Waker'' epilogue and the TrueFinalBoss of the game.]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Quite possibly the only character in the Zelda series to go "Hmm, the Hero is good at [[TennisBoss Dead Man's Volley]]; [[TurnsRed let's stop playing]]."

* CompositeCharacter: When he pulls out his second sword, his fighting style takes cues from both the ''Hyrule Warriors'' Ganondorf and the ''Wind Waker'' Ganondorf. Like the ''Hyrule Warriors'' Ganondorf, he can fire a barrage of sword beams, his blocking animation is similar to the ''Wind Waker'' Ganondorf and he can also perform a jumping cross slash and spin attack.
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler: Normally, Ganondorf is fought well ''after'' you've fought Phantom Ganon. But due to his placement in an epilogue chapter, Phantom Ganon is the final boss of ''Legends'' and the ''Definitive Edition.'']]
