"I never imagined a boy like you could give me so much trouble."
Ganondorf was originally planned to be the World Boss for Avenue of Memories in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. He is also the main antagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, and would had been a high ranking commander of the Forces of Legion in MKF.
History[]
The eventual creation of the hatred of the demon king Demise, Ganondorf was the leader of the Gerudos, a race of humans who lived in the desert to the west of Hyrule. He later became the King's right-hand man.
When Link opened the door in the Temple of Time and pulled the Master Sword from its pedestal, he was put to sleep within the sacred realm until he became old enough to become the Hero of Time. While this was happening, Ganondorf entered the Temple of Time and stole the Triforce of Power, taking over Hyrule and ruling over it with an iron fist. Seven years later, he was defeated by an adult Link. However, he did not give up, and used his last breath to transform himself into the monstrosity known as Ganon. He was again defeated by Link, and sealed within the Sacred Realm by Zelda, taking the Triforce of Power with him.
Since then, Ganondorf's fate has varied across the Hyrule timelines. In some, he retains the form on Ganondorf; in others, the Triforce of Power has mutated him into a monstrous being simply called Ganon. Regardless, a hero known as Link continued to rise up and take him down until he is somehow brought back once again.
Role In MKF[]
In MKF, Ganondorf would had joined the Forces of Legion, and would had impressed him so much with his tactical abilities and powers of darkness, as well as his massive army comparable to that of Bowser's, that he was quickly made second in command, alongside Dracula and Kamek. Rather than take control of an entire world, he had set up several bases across the worlds (Alternate Earth, Demon Realm, Gehenna, and Avenue of Memories), to spread his influence, although Nintendo Subspace was his main base of operations. In truth, however, his real loyalty was to the Villain Alliance, which was formed when he, along with 0, discovered the dark energy deep within Twisted Reality that Legion himself ignored.
However, a change of plans occurred when both Legion and the concept of a Villian Alliance were scrapped.
Trivia[]
- Ganondorf was originally supposed to appear at level 2-6, Cruise Control but the cutscenes that feature him were removed after the level was revamped in the v0.75 update. He was also the planned boss of Elemental Tower (which was replaced with Final Destination) originally the final level in Avenue of Memories, before being replaced with Jaquio and then subsequently Master Hand.
