The divine beasts didn't get rid of half of Calamity Ganon's health.
They just moved it somewhere else.
And made it twice as long as it was in the first place 💀🤣
*in Patrick Star's voice*
We should take Calamity Ganon's health bar and push it somewhere else!
@@trinityjohnson7954I'm so glad sombody said it.
No, Calamity Ganon was just Ganondorf's bad breath given life.
Okay what you just said gave me chills. I know its funny but man what a thing that would be
I will never forget the terror of watching as his health bar becomes off-centered
I KNOW. The bar increasing wasn't the terrifying thing. It was the fact that it was off center 😨
@@novaduck_iv Psychological warfare in action.
Not only that he starts dodging your furry rushes
@@HawaiiVenom392"Furry"
It was actually the best part of the fight, because of its terrifying nature. You know that you have to fight against him with everything you got, and that was pretty cool. You had to have to dodge his own flurry rushes by making a second flurry rush.
“You witness a king mid-suavamente” is a crazy line for a game like this
Turns off his music*
@@ShadowSkyX*Ganondorf fucking explodes
Okay, but actually, that line kinda goes hard if you apply it to the part where his health bar goes off-screen
@@raixira27And then becomes a weapon
We went from watching Calamity Ganon's health bar get cut in half like a bitch to watching Ganondorf's health bar extend to twice the normal length. Nintendo and Monolith knew not to slouch with Ganondorf.
Never thought about this parallel. Absolutely LOVED the UI-storytelling they did with that health bar. Phenomenal touch
@@dyltheisprod I haven't seen anyone else point it out yet, which honestly speaks to how forgettable Calamity Ganon was
Wait Monolith helped make TOTKmm
Wait nvm, different Monolith
@@twinzzlers MonolithSoft yeah but I just didn't feel like typing it all out
“Ok time for the second phase. Yep all is going as it should his healthbar is refilling. Wait. What. Why is it still going. WHY IS IT STILL GOING. OH NO ITS STILL GOING”
Mood
“WHY ARE THERE MORE OF THEM. WHY ARE THERE MORE OF THEM. WHY ARE THERE MORE OF THEM.”
Proceeds to scream in horror as it continued growing even off screen for another 30 seconds*
@@voltjoltex4953 *It went offscreen, the screaming continues.*
You think that's bad? Somebody modded it so it loops back around to the other side and acts as regeneration.
Love how Ganondorf looks all serious in the first phase, almost as if he's bored. In the second phase, he just won't wipe that menacing grin off his face... he's finally recognized you as something worth using his full might against, and he's enjoying it.
Ganondorf seems to share the same opinion of the fight as the player
He's been looking forward to this for *ages* and can't wait to defeat his opponent, because it's *so fun* and he hasn't had a good fight for a while.
Quickly, he realises that _wow_ this guy's good and begins to use all his resources to win this fight, because it is a _very_ real challenge
Pretty much just like us, except that if he dies, he dies for real. He doesn't consider that possibility until the end, though.
@that_nerdy_hylian you new to this, buddy? This is Ganon, he's never "dead for real."
@@sptflcrw8583 fair point
although he will stay dead for longer than Link
(unless it's plot convenient)
@@sptflcrw8583just like [insert fnaf character here]
In the first phase, Ganondorf isn't bored so much as feeling link out as a fellow warrior. Trying to a get a sense for how he moves, the way he swings his sword, his timings... actually a very realistic and intelligent way to approach a fight. Goes to show how dangerous Ganondorf truly is; he actually takes the time to understand his opponent, determining how much a threat they actually are.
"I will be taking far more than your arm this time" along with him flurry rushing suprised me so much
in this fight
King's a straight up menace
@@Gerolanfalan FOR REAL
Lol, my literal first reaction to Ganondorf saying that was 'Would like to see you try.' Long story short: he actually tried, but he failed.
Bruh flurry rushed my shield parry.
@@melaniescribblesMy reaction to that line was actually: “You already have…”
The idea that Calamity Ganon was only a FRACTION of this guy’s power is terrifying. This feels like the most threatening Ganondorf we’ve ever had.
Fraction? Try a leak.
I like to think that calamity was most of his power, but there was one thing it was missing... the the ability to master it, hence why Gannon was irratic, and the Demon king now having full control, he can do everything the beast did and then some.
@anthonytonythegeek5561 Still, the idea that Calamity Ganon was just the mindless leakage of Ganondorf's hatred pooling into a potentially world ending amalgamation of destruction while he's sealed completely in place is insane
@@hatti... ikr
I just want to experience this boss fight for the first time again
So that I can make the same face I first did when I watched that health bar:
😳
his health bar in phase 2 triggered my fight or flight response.
@@joypink5599I was wondering why my sister was looking at me when the cutscene played with his health bar, and it was then I made the realization and went “OH SH*T”
I’m gonna fight him tonight for the first time, I’m gonna take a shower, get comfy, have some nice ambient lighting and enjoy it
this fight for the first time was an absolute nightmare (because i didn't know how to prepare for the fight or how to bring the best sort of materials and weapons for it) and ended up dying so many times due to incompetence but at the same time it was an absolutely amazing time
The part of the battle where he gets rid of his demon clones and you see all of the sages knocked down on the floor and it’s only you and him was SO intense
This kept giving me chills for some reason
Especially when he beckons link, knowing that he has found a worthy opponent, and he wants to make sure he can savor each moment of the duel that decides the fate of the land
The moment when flurry rushes stops working, you know that you're screwed. The best part of this fight was when the battle theme from BOTW kicks and and now, all you know is thrown out the window and you have to learn, attempt after attempt how to beat that son of a bitch.
@@buihelgasonalso arrows simply don’t work in stunning him as he will deflect it with his BARE HANDS.
@@huifenyang8081 defect his gloom attacks, and you'll slowly chip away at his health.
The fact that they brought back the ocarina battle theme just for this, and he gets a comically large health bar all for a huge phase 2 really tickled me.
I love that as well, cause lorewise oot ganondorf was such a damn strong mage, even oot link himself was the strongest ever been and struggled fighting him, that's why they created a downfall timeline. So I loved the brought back of the song with the incrising health bar and also called demon king
@@yuri_lhr it wss especially fitting because of how much TotK's Dorf mirrors his original Ocarina version thematically and literally in the story
@@yuri_lhroot link was never stated to be the strongest 💀
Also the ganondorf in literally every other game besides totk and fsa is the same ganondorf from oot, so that doesn’t make sense lol
@@Someone86000TP Ganon is also not the same as OOT Ganon
@@Someone86000Ganondorf from Breath of the Wild ain't the same Ganon from Ocarina of Time. Breath of the Wild has no placement in any of the three official timelines, it's set in its own, separate timeline completely.
"STOP FLURRY RUSHING MY FLURRY RUSHES!!", is definitely not something I expected to yell when fighting this boss. So fun and challenging the way the game makes you time attacks and dodge at the right time.
“Aha! I’ll flurry rush your flurry rush! WAIT DID YOU JUST PARRY?!.
I love how final phase is like a good remix of calamity Ganons theme from botw
YES. When this kicked in, I leaned forward off the couch and gripped the controller tight, felt the goosebumps wash over me from memories of 2017.
@@dyltheisprodwhen the dark beast ganon theme kicked in in the 2nd phase I had an eargasm
@@brianv9242Is was just insane best ending 🔥

"You witness a kings revival" ✒️🔥
They knew what they were cooking with that.
"It's what a king must do."
The menace unleashed, *Demon King Ganondorf* ✍️🔥🔥
Especially with him turning his head to look the player in he eye
that line was such a banger that they felt the urge to put it in the hypest trailer
“I’ll be taking more than just your arm this time”…that was cold.
@@jonpierce3340 literally every word the man says is straight fire
You know you have a worthy opponent because:
His health wents off limits,
He can flurry rush you,
He can destroy your hylian shield,
He can destroy hearts of your health (not just shatter them)
Ironically, Ganondorf's attacks don't seem to deal enough damage to quickly shatter a Savage Lynel Shield (something that a Silver Lynel can easily accomplish). But I suppose that makes sense when you can only damage (and permanently destroy) one heart container (instead of multiple heart containers) with a single attack.
Technically the only attack that can destroy shields like the hylian shield is the bow attacks and others like it that ordinarily destroy your heart containers. His other attacks only do normal damage to shields
The health going off the limits feels like something in an indie game or a silly game thing, but it still fits in this epic boss battle somehow
@@timothypitcher7996He instantly shatters any shield but the Hylian shield with a specific attack.
@@revilno Felt like an undertale reference what with being deep underground and all
Two terrifying things happen with Ganondorf. He uses your moves against you, and his health bar extends beyond the normal limits.
A lesson on how to subvert expectations.
You forgot that his attacks don’t just do damage; they actively destroy your heart containers, reducing your max health. Ganondorf does NOT play nice.
Rian Johnson should take notes
nah the first time he flurry rushed me i just paused the game and had to take a deep breath, shit had me shook
Do not look away.
You witness a king's insanely charming swagger.
And the birth of an addictive boss fight.
Mid-suavemente
Ganondorf's character has two distinct sides, his disciplined warrior and king side, and his monstrous side. Imo the fight and music both show this perfectly, starting understated and conventional but still impressive. When Ganondorf starts to realize he can't win this fight, he becomes more and more beastly, and the music reflects to the more chaotic Calamity Ganon music to match. This guy no longer just wants to best you in one on one combat, he wants you annihilated. I hope he isn't gone forever, because a third game with him and Link dueling for the last time would feel great with this game building their relationship so well in the final act.
bro he literally gets nuked at the end i dont think hes coming back 💀
@@theman599 ganons been nuked a lot tbh and usually finds a way we'll see lol
@@theman599 To be fair, _that_ never stopped him before.😂 But granted, if they want to bring him back, they _better_ make it compelling. 'Cause he _did_ get nuked.
@@twaggytheatricks4960 maybe they pull a oracle game style where zelda is, you guessed it, kidnapped and in the beginning when that happens, the collect the blood of the hero. but when revived, it isn't just Gannon Dorf brought back
Maybe a different Zelda game would do to make it kinda possible (maybe a foreshadow to Demise pulling the strings since he made the curse happen)
I love the return of the OoT ganondorf battle motif!!! this whole movement is amazing
Technically, the track first showed up in the early nineties in A Link to the Past. It was titled "Agahnim" and was used in Oot as Ganondorf's theme and in the Final Boss Battle theme because of Agahnim and Ganon being the same person, and that arrangement of the original became the default everybody turned to. Just a technicality, but it is the same leitmotif used in those themes.
I know, 🤓 *Homer Simpson yelling nerd*, whatever. It's trivia about the motif in question, I just find it interesting.
The shuffle time signature is reminiscent of WW Phantom Ganon theme too
@@CBROrchestra I think OP was referring to the first phase of the ganondorf battle in OoT? The one you’re talking about is the main ganon motif I think
I think it’s not just oot ganondorf theme but ganondorf’s leitmotif as a whole
@@santabakure6264no there is distinctly the Ganondorf battle theme from OoT in there
They brought back all of the old Ganondorfs' fight styles in this one. Oot's Dead man volleys, Wind Waker's dodging and swiftness, Twilight Princess' 1v1 and swordsmanship, and Demise's sheer overwhelming power. Or am I just reaching? Idc loved the fight either way
I think I know where the Hearty Durians went. Ganondorf converted them all into his comically long health bar.
Ah theyre gone?
Probably cause they were broken!
@@Videospiel-Man5730yeah, now getting the rest of the hearty materials is super rare
@@DiaomBayet yeah but you can farm them! But slowly!
I presume that’s where all the hearty blueshell snails went too.
I do love how the entire orchestra and choir are devoted to this momentous battle to decide the fate of Hyrule...
And then you've got that one guy in the back just vibing as he plays _jazz anvil._
Outstanding combination work. Thanks for bringing it all together.
as he plays what?
Ah yes, the Kane. An ancient and imperative instrument in Japanese percussion. Or as its more commonly known: The 𝓙𝓪𝔃𝔃 𝓐𝓷𝓿𝓲𝓵
@@________John__________ Truly and sincerely, thank you for telling me the actual name of the instrument. I cannot guarantee I'll ever use it given the alternative.
@@FanOfMostEverything nah I was just fucking with you dude. it is now the jazz anvil and I will gladly fistfight any man woman or child who refuses to name it so.
It is quite jazzy.
Gotta be one of the craziest fight against Ganondorf
*the
...You know, when I think about it? I think this _is_ the craziest Ganondorf fight we've had in Zelda. I mean like in terms of gameplay, music, presentation and difficulty (and yet he's still accessible if you stay sharp).
I'm not saying the ones before were bad (the Wind Waker one is my favorite), but this is just... It's the culmination of som uch. I'm genuinely impressed!
It’s the best Ganondorf fight by far
Gotta be the worst ganondorf fight
@@kidplaysgame3590Please, elaborate.
The only thing that felt missing was the click-sound of the Secret Stone powering him up. I mean sure it's not part of the main score, but it just sounds so satisfying and anytime I remember these pieces of music it plays in my head.
real
ikr. its such a good little detail that I sorely missed here. the single note as the secret stone is activated is the calm before the storm, *the* "oh shit" moment before the demon king enters the scene. and then you're blasted with the second phase music immediately after. it's so good
Oh indeed, some sounds just stick. Like I can't hear the OoT Spirit Temple without hearing, the pots
whoever’s idea it was for the first phase to just be plain old Link vs Ganadorf with little to no music and just ambiance, you’re a genius and you deserve an award for this alone.
And giving him less health than a gibdo nest was so amazing, really made me feel the difficulty, it was so intense standing still the whole fight and flurry rushing.
@@thegamingbean953oh yeah, I forgot Gibdo nests have like, 9,999 health...
@@thegamingbean953 I do wish for once they just make ganon actually legit hard and not something everybody can do on their first try or to not even put your through your paces
@@SSlashdo you mean ganondorf or the big thematic end fight? Cause with ganondorf they did not slouch at all in totk.
@@Jenna_Taliafr, ganondorf took me a second try to learn his moves (and also cook some food bc i totally underestimated him after the final fight of BOTW)
This is definitely a contender for the best Ganondorf battle because he genuinely feels like Link's equal. He can do a lot of the things Link can, right down to doing a flurry rush of his own (sort of). And not only that, he can REALLY punish you for missed swings or blocks.
It took me two tries to beat Calamity Ganon in BOTW. After I went in with solid prep, I got a beat on him very quick.
Ganondorf himself, on the other hand, kicked my butt at least FOUR times before I got anywhere close to a beat on him.
I only beat Ganondorf on my second try because I heavily, and probably over prepared, I had silver lynel horns fused to the master sword, fully upgraded barbarian armor, savage lynel shield fused to the Hylian shield, and enough Gloom-Recovery foods to last probably 6 battles. The first time I went in I was just testing the waters to see what his attacks and damage would look like
I managed to beat him first try, for me he was a mix of wierdly easy and very fun to fight, best boss fight I've ever fought hands down
I don't know if my game nerfed him, but i beat him first try, with the help of three fairies, only two gloom recovery dishes because I forgot to cook those, and a savage lynel bow because i got sick of him flurry rushing me.
It was stressful, I was only on five hearts, and I thought for sure I was going to die. I was actually really shocked I beat him first try.
Ganondorf was kicking my ass for a while, mostly because my mom (It was my mom’s file, I helped her beat the game) left me completely unprepared. She didn’t expect me to beat the army on my first try, so I had to fight Ganondorf with almost no gloom food.
@@AngelCat748the Phantom Ganons have a defense stat that reduces all damage done to them by weapons being -10. So like if a weapon does 60 damage, Phantom Ganon takes 50 damage from it. Ganondorf for some reason has no such defense Stat, so you can cheese him by using powerful stuff to the Master Sword.
1:20 I find this part where the music suddenly becomes chaotic. It’s kinda signifying that Ganondorf is finally feeling the rush of battle again after thousands of years.
I can almost imagine this being the point where the fight really ramps up, and Link and Ganondorf start exchanging like a hundred clashes every minute, like the lightsaber duels in the SW prequels
@@bensdreamatorium8315 the way i played it it was a very slow, deliberate duel. two master swordsmen striking with purpose and strategy. it was pretty cool ngl.
And he’s not even beginning to near the limits of his power!
hears 3:46 and gets emotional over the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP 😭😭😭
Best power of friendship usage I’ve EVER seen.
Friendship vs End-ship
4:45 is probably the hardest build up i’ve heard in a Zelda game
No one talks about that under layer of strings! GAH I love them so much!
Zelda needs more dramatic choir like this. Especially in boss fights. Felt like I was playing a Souls game, especially with how much intimidation and how many surprises this guy pulls on you.
Since they used it in the trailer I thought the same. Feels so hyping
If this was a full-on anime, I bet it would be followed by a portion where ganondorf and link have a battle purely in bullet time where their swords are just blindingly fast dragon ball style
I'll never forget the way I yelled "WHERE ARE YOU GOING" when I saw his health bar go overboard 😅
Its not talked about much by people, but I think the most terrifying thing is hearing that awkward rhythm that you'd only know if you watched/played and beat ocarina of time. Those first couple of notes are unforgettable, I love that they incorporated OOT Ganon's theme as well as Calamity Ganon's theme into this.
Also that health bar was nuts. They went all in.
This game did such an incredible job at making me genuinely fear Ganondorf. The whole final boss lead up, him dodging my attacks and countering, his health bar GOING BEYOND THE NORMAL LIMIT? I was screaming during this entire fight 😭
This music summons so many emotions. The moment Ganondorf recalls all his gloom clones and knocks off the sages and when the Calamity Ganon music starts is the exact desperation moment when Link realizes how Calamity Ganon killed all the sages ~100 years ago and now the only way out is to kill him or surrender to the destruction of Hyrule. What an adrenaline shot man... this is pure gold.
“Oh shit he’s turning into Demise, now things are about to get seriou- why isn’t the health bar stopping.”
Honestly, knowing that Calamity Ganon was nothing more than the equivalent of an angry fart by Ganondorf really sets up the power scale here.
His 2nd form is almost literally Demise reincarnated and knowing that with each defeat he reincarnates stronger down the line, it wouldn't surprise me that Ghirahim (Demise's blade) might make a return alongside him.
An angry fart by an ancient fart. XD
Pure speculation but what if vaati is the reincarnation of girahim.
Hands down the best boss in Zelda history. No one can tell me otherwise. The progression, the music, the spectacle, the move set, it’s all there and more.
On par with Demise.
6:45 This is the most memorable part of the battle for me. Once again, the sages are gone, but this time it's multiple times harder to to beat Ganondorf. You have to respond to his fast movements with perfect timing to flurry rush him twice in a row, he has a wider move pool, and he can dodge your melee attacks. ANY OF THEM (unless he's charging a special attack or he just swapped weapons), not just the flurry rushes.
Meanwhile, this absolute menacing banger of a TotK boss style remix of the BotW boss themes just casually plays in the background.
the "Sages' Encouragement" IS SO POIGNANT RAHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH
This is such an awesome theme!!! Great work on the seamlessness
Thank you so much! Glad you like it :)
It's my favorite part! Starts out as BOTW's main theme which then leads in TOTK's main theme. It's beautifully done
Imagine his boss fight if they release a master mode for this game...
Oh hell no
They should make it go left to right if they do that
@@bruhmaster8272 I'd rather they add more attack animations that deal more damage than simply inflate his health
@@mercury2157 and also stop you from bow spamming
@@infernape716 Perhaps a move where he rips the bow from your hands and snaps it if you use it too much

When his health bar refilled, then kept going until it reached the end of the screen, was the biggest "OH SHIT" moment I've ever had while playing a game
When the Calamity theme starts playing... such a great moment
I had the biggest smile on my face the moment I heard the botw blight theme
Mummified Ganon:
How disappointing… This world should be shrouded in darkness, not bathed insufferable light. All these weak, peace-loving cowards running rampant… It would have been more…satisfying to overcome a worthy foe.
Phase 1 Ganon
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. Do not look away. You witness a king’s revival. And the birth of his new world!
Turning into phase 2 Ganon
Heh heh heh… What a feeling… I had almost forgotten the thrill of battle. That feeling as blood surges in my veins… And I am not even nearing the limits of my power!

My experience of this battle first time.
As I was fighting him in the first phase, my heart was beating so loud I could barely hear the music. This was one of the best feelings of dread I’ve ever had during a boss battle. Then, right at the 1:30 mark, Ganondorf flurry rushed me for the first time and I froze. Literally frozen in shock and awe.
Nintendo absolutely nailed this fight. 10/10
Yes! And the health bar moment had me freaking out! Nintendo went all out and its amazing!
Overdramatic ASF 😭
@@kidplaysgame3590That’s Ganondorf’s MO 😂
Best joy of the music of the final bosses. This is probably the best! :D
I love the part that starts at 4:44. It sounds so cool!
2nd phase in a nutshell:
"You may have flurry rushed my flurry rush, but I will outflurry rush your flurry rushing!"
His health bar growing didn’t surprise me tbh what DID SURPRISE me is that there was no checkpoint before the boss fight which is extremely unforgiving in reality , even Elden ring let’s you restock before the final boss
They really did say " too easy huh?"
Yeah the ending is a major skill check. If I didn't have time to practice with Phantom Ganon I would have died a lot more.
I literally can't get over the music when he goes into phase 2 shi is so fire
3:08 to the end of this video might just be the most incredible piece of music written for this game. It's nuts.
The part at 3:44 when the sages come in to help is so beautiful. Wow.
One of my favorite parts of Ganondorf’s theme is probably 3:46. It just gives you a sense of how long this fight against the darkness has been going on, the friends and people we’ve lost along the way, and now how, one way or another, it *will* end with this final battle.
Ganondorf, the Demon King, Great Calamity Ganon, has devolved into a cannibal. The gloom that bursts from his body grants him life by sapping it out of others. After getting the Triforce of Power, he returns endlessly, and with the Secret Stone, he has ascended practically to become a god. Like Demise said, Hyrule is doomed to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time.
The triforce of power isn’t what causes ganondorf to keep coming back, it’s demise’s curse. I’m pretty sure this ganondorf doesn’t have the triforce of power. Besides, the only slight indication of the triforce’s location is at the end of botw where it is suggested zelda holds all three pieces.
Link's honest reaction (he killed ganondorf with a stick and meat on it):
I love all the musical references to past Ganondorfs, the sages, and even that one little part of Maz Koshia’s theme
Holy crap!! I just realized that at 3:08 the theme is a remix of the ocarina of time Ganondorf fight! Nice
4:44 I REALLY feel this part of the music the most. It's like "Oh s*ht... he's getting real! Oh no! my shields! 😂😅"
6:45 This part! 10/10 "TURN THE VOLUME UP TO MAX"
7:10 - 7:43 The stress, the horror, the rush...PURE EPICNESS! "Stop your flurry rushing me, Satan"

@@atanii4513"Ganondorf Miasma L"
@@atanii4513It’s the blights and Calamity ganon’s theme from the previous game, Breath of the Wild
I really love the percussion in this theme. The bass drum and that one off-beat perc especially. It’s almost tribal, selling the feeling we are fighting an unstoppable, ancient evil.
Nintendo was like "OH YOU THOUGHT CALAMITY GANON WAS EASY HUH? FUCK YOU *Maximizes your Ganon*"
They really said "Ok they don't want half the bar removed" and thought "Ok how about we increase the health bar by 50% instead"
I will never forget the time when I first dropped into the fight, palms already sweaty. It was eerie with little music and just ganons cold footsteps on the gloom covered ground. Still sends chills down my spine.
“Do not look away”
“You witness a kings revival”
“AND THE BIRTH OF ITS NEW WORLD
Amazing job as always, I’d love if you managed to combine Rauru’s theme from different parts of the game and the demon dragon fight!
Demon Dragon fight is next! Rauru’s music is mostly locked within cutscenes, but will consider working on those once all the raw music is processed
“Enjoy these final moments, I’ll be taking far more than your arm this time “
No one aside from my roomate will ever again witness the dog whistle pitch of scream I did when he flurry dodged me.
I love how the different phases of this song reflects how Ganondorf fights in the game. The first phase of this boss fight the music is low and subdued all the while he taunts Link calling him "Weak," and "Pathetic" but once the second phase starts the Music goes all out in a bombastic way and Ganondorf's entire demeanor has changed. He is no longer taunting Link but like the soundtrack, is going all out. Unleashing furious attacks boosted with gloom that destroy Links vitality
Perfect music for the next smash game and I hope they use Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf
I’ve already been saying to my friends that if we get TOTK Ganon in smash 6 i WILL main him.
Dude imagine a ToTK Ganondorf smash where he uses the same/similar animation as he does when he shifts to second phase
@@jsc1jake512 if ganondorf was like that, he would be kinda like pyra and mythra where they could switch characters, plus ganondorfs move set would probably be hugely revamped, bc rn hes just a clone of captain falcon
Only if he’s *PROPERLY* decloned. Either we get the proper Ganondorf, or he shouldn’t be in Smash 6 at all.
@@CharlesRBLX nah it would be more like sephiroth and his one winged form where if he takes too much damage, he would shift to his Master of the Secret Stone form and do more damage and other bs the smash team can come up with
Don't see a lot of talk about this, but Ganondorf just saying "Link..." in battle as he changes weapons is a really good touch.
The composers did one hell of a job with this one. Really makes you feel like you’re fighting the Devil himself.
I sobbed when the sages came back. I didnt think I'd see them again
I like how the third phase is a remix of the calamity boss theme with some Japanese influences thrown in. I also like how you can hear this “shiny” noise in the first phase, it’s almost like a glimmer of light despite the dark and fearful tone.
You’re seriously doing gods work with all these edits. Thank you
this is the first time i've truly seen a final boss as menacing, and impending doom incarnate
I like how at 4:22 you can hear the Wind Waker attack sound. This game really is all of them combined.
The transition of the 2 different Ganondorf arts did not go unnoticed. Nice work.
As the two stared each other down in the heart of evil itself, both seemed to think the same thing…
Everything they had worked towards was leading up to this moment.
When The Demon King would crush his worthy adversary after passing him off as nothing, and finally crush the peaceful kingdom of Hyrule…
…Or when the legendary champion would strike down the source of the great calamity, and end the scourge of Hyrule once and for all…
No matter what happened, this all felt so familiar…like fate itself had deemed the two to clash before they had even met…which made it feel all the more personal between the two warriors.
Thank you for getting those transition & transformation parts in there!!
3:08 omg yo i love how you kinda hear Ganondorfs Phase 1 battle theme from Ocarina of Time here
just finished the game and oh my god the last 2 hours were just continuous chills
Bruh idc how fat his healthbar gets. Nothing made me shit my pants more than the boss breaking my unbreakable shield in like 3 hits.
3:08 TELL ME I am not the only one who died of nostalgia when the motif from his fight in Ocarina of Time hit. It had me tearing up, you have no idea.
This is such an underrated sequence. What an absolute fucking masterpiece of a score this was during the game!
Godzilla Minus One gave me ganondorf's battle intro vibes
This soundtrack is so expressive, especially on the first part. You can feel the danger under an oriental style of music like the Zonai may have endure thousands of years before you. Then the transformation in his powerfull form show how much power he can uses off. So great !
whenever you like the game and how he turn out to be or not, i think we can all agree, that this is one, if not, the best ganondorf's fight in the entire series
What I really like in the “hero duel” part is the remix of the blights and calamity ganon fight
This is truly a masterpiece and a seamless transision indeed. Thx for your work!
He's the best game part of the game he should've had more screen time
Ganondorf’s music was the one I was waiting to hear it even though, I was battling at the same time it’s so good!
Bro them bringing the OOT and BOTW themes had me dead.
The first phase is also a remix of the very first Ganon theme, back from the NES game.
Can you timestamp the oot part?
Having to do 2 flurry rushes in order to even damage Ganondorf on the final phase is insane.
3:02 The hardest moment in Zelda music history.
Especially with the sound of the secret stone activating
😙👌
Lie again 😂
@@kidplaysgame3590 an opinion from a dude with an among us pfp is automatically invalid
I wish they kept that sound in, it just makes the difference
I love how they used a bit of botw boss music. 7:00
I dearly hope the next Smash will let me play THIS version of Ganondorf. Instant main.
‘Ganondorf, no, bad! Put it away!’
‘I mean your non center aligned health bar. Either make it a normal length health bar, or at least have the decency to adhere to symmetry and center align it in the middle of the screen.’
thanks for the seamless transitions into the next phases. really cool. tysm.
7:39 shamisen go brrrrrrrr
👌
After beating his first phase: Finally, the hp bar should fill up,
Later: WAIT WHAT THE HE-
