Hyrule Warriors Guide Warriors
Ganondorf
The Source of all Monsters himself, Ganondorf is the perfect antithesis of Link. Instead of being fast and acrobatic, Ganondorf is slow and cumbersome, but not because he’s incapable of a speedy assault—he just prefers a less hurried approach to combat. After all, why rush when you can spend time really enjoying the agony of your foes? He only wields his Great Swords, but they are all he needs to conquer Hyrule. He is one of the most powerful Warriors in the game without a doubt. Ganondorf is perfect for those of you who have a bit of an evil side.
How to Unlock
Ganondorf becomes playable after completing Scenario 13, “Shining Beacon,” in Legend Mode.
Ganondorf’s Weapons
Great Swords
Ganondorf’s Great Swords can build up dark power and then unleash it with 
(
in Zelda Style) to make a large, crater-producing blast that causes any enemies not caught in the blast to regret ever taking up arms in the first place. The Great Swords’ Combo Attacks are pretty lacking, all told. They have limited range and a really slow startup, meaning if you get hit while your Combo Attack is heating up, it’ll be cancelled and you’ll have to try again. Truly, this weapon’s greatest assets are the reach and power of its Regular Attacks. Ganondorf can chop through enemies like a demonic lawn mower possessed by history’s angriest gardener with these basic attacks. Although, we don’t want to write off Combo Attacks entirely because couple of them are worth having around for some quick crowd control: 
(
) and 
(
) are both fast and have pretty a decent range of attack, making them excellent for when there are too many enemies and not enough time to crush them all individually. Being the King of Evil can be so trying sometimes.
