Calamity Ganon, also known as just Ganon, is the principal antagonist of the 2022 action-chance video game The Legend of Zelda: Jiff of the Wild and its 2022 prequel Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

He is a monstrous dark entity who is a reincarnation of Ganondorf and the primal evil that has ravaged Hyrule throughout history, going as far dorsum every bit ten thousand years. Due to a prophecy stating his return, the people of Hyrule prepared to finish him past creating the Guardians as well every bit the Divine Beasts, while Princess Zelda tried to awaken her sealing powers as Link protected her.

Cataclysm Ganon took over Hyrule Castle and brought terror to the land for i hundred years, trapping Princess Zelda inside the castle and taking command over the Divine Beasts and the Guardians. During these years, Ganon remained in the castle and tried to reincarnate dorsum into his former Gerudo self. Link would somewhen reawaken after one hundred years with little memory of his past and defeat Ganon.

He is the curvation enemy of Link and Zelda, as well as the creator of the Blight Ganons and is served by Moblins, Lizalfos and the Yiga Association.

Appearance

While Ganon was e'er was depicted equally demonic and frightening, while he is the Calamity Ganon, he is portrayed as a titanic mass of black and purple dark Malice, constantly swirling and distorting, shaping itself every bit a boar's head with glowing yellow eyes, gigantic tusks and an expansible mouth. This seems to exist a premature form of his Night Creature appearance, which is that of a gigantic purple boar with glowing optics and a flaming mane.

When he tried to manifest into a physical body, the Calamity Ganon looks like a deformed spider-like anathema. His mankind is made out of malice, but he's also partially fabricated of Sheikah gear and has their weapons fastened to his limbs. He has a humanoid skull with glowing orange eyes and a long beard and mane of wild, carmine hair, remnants of the monster's existence as Ganondorf.

In an alternating timeline where the events of the Peachy Calamity were altered, Ganon created himself a different body by absorbing its Harbinger and Astor's trunk. This form was a lot more humanoid than his spider-like form and relied less on Sheikah engineering science. It also had boar-like feet, hinting at Ganon's regular form in the series.

In his Dark Creature form, he appears as a behemothic boar-like monsters composed entirely of malice.

Equally Ganondorf, his torso is that of a Gerudo human with long red hair. It is but a corpse which has nigh completely rotted away. He still wears some Gerudo armor and accessories.

Personality

Calamity Ganon differs from his other incarnations quite a lot. He appears as a seemingly mindless monster who only wants to cause destruction and suffering. Ganon is actually referred to as an "it", for, without a proper incarnation, he is but a manifestation of absolute evil and hatred, a barely sentient entity. At that place is nothing left of his intelligent and cunning side, Ganondorf, which implies this Ganon became completely insane. Despite this the Calamity is still immensely powerful, every bit his Blights, mere shards of his being, were strong enough to impale the Champions.

He besides seems to accept maintained some degree of cunning, as he managed to possess the very tools used to defeat him ages agone, suggesting that he was aware of the fact that the people of Hyrule would endeavor to repeat history.

A tapestry depicting the fight 10 thousand years ago.

The Calamity offset appeared ten 1000 years agone, where information technology attempted to destroy the land of Hyrule. But together with all the Sheikah technology, the princess and her knight were able to defeat information technology and seal it away under Hyrule Castle.

The Champions were also subsequently killed and he took over their Divine Beasts and implanted a Blight Ganon in each of them. These machines were used to unleash fifty-fifty more destruction and caused terror for the nigh settlements. His arrival also led to the Yiga Clan surfacing. They were Sheikah who betrayed their tribe and started to worship Ganon. Link and Zelda were running abroad and fighting their style through Guardians who were destroying everything in their path. But Link got fatally injured and Zelda was in tears. She blamed herself for everything, since she didn't get a hold of her divine powers.

The whole thing was a cataclysmic issue, so that even one hundred years after, most of the kingdom is still reduced to ruins overcome by wilderness, and civilisation has heavily regressed, safe for a few settlements. Calamity Ganon is sealed, just the Blights are all the same decision-making the Divine Beasts to lay waste material on the land, weakening the seal that is nigh to break anytime soon. Despite existence sealed, he still spread his Malice over the entire country, corrupting the land and spawning many monsters. He covered numerous structures, where information technology festered and destroyed them along with the nature around information technology. Hyrule Castle is covered in the virtually Malice, as this is where it stemmed from. Every now and so, a Claret moon appears. At this fourth dimension, Ganon's powers momentarily increment and he is able to revive all the monsters who were previously killed (excluding the Blight Ganons and Main Kohga).

Breath of the Wild

Link awakens again, having lost all his memories. Zelda calls out to him and tells him of Calamity Ganon. He is hovering around Hyrule Castle, where he is nevertheless confined, clouding it in a night mist of Malice. He stays there while Link journeys around the land. He doesn't interfere directly, but ever reminds Link of what he must exercise. In full general, he causes a night presence that lurks in every corner of the land. Link frees the Divine Beasts and the spirits of the Champions by defeating Ganon's Blights. He and then makes his way to the castle and subsequently battling many more monsters, the Hero of Hyrule finally reaches the throne room.

At that place, Ganon lurks within a behemothic cocoon that resembles a man centre, attempting to regain his physical form. But Link interrupted him, and since Zelda was at the end of her strength, he broke free and regenerated prematurely, leading to him looking monstrous and messy as he was withal non complete. The Divine Beasts, whose pilots were rescued, and so fired their cannons in his direction, severely weakening him. Ganon was full of hatred and anger and attacked Link with all weapons he had in his possession. He crawled on the walls and uses many elemental attacks, that the Blights accept used. When he is weakened even farther, he created a strength field effectually his trunk that would protect him, but Link bypasses it by reflecting Ganon's light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation dorsum at him.

Ultimately, Calamity Ganon was defeated. He let out a monstrous roar every bit his body violently disintegrates and his spirit summoned all the Malice in the kingdom to him and manifested into his true Dark Fauna class. Zelda said that the Calamity Ganon had given upwardly on reincarnation and causeless his pure enraged grade. He stood in the middle of Hyrule Field and shot giant beams of night light at Link. Zelda aided the famous Hero of Time and opened up weak points where Link could shoot arrows of light. Equally Link did so, the Calamity Ganon lost more of his ability. Eventually, his core was revealed and Link shot one last arrow into the giant pulsating eyeball. Zelda emerged from within him and she used all her power to seal him over again, bringing peace back to the land.

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity

After the second Dandy Calamity, a small Guardian called Terrako was sent through a time warp 1 hundred years in the past to change the outcome of the disaster. Calamity Ganon sent some of his Malice after it to stop it. The Malice infected the Terrako of the by, condign the Straw Ganon. It was found by Astor who used information technology to prevent the future from changing. The Harbinger Ganon attempts multiple efforts to end Link and Zelda, such as possessing other Guardians and leading an army of monsters to Rito Village, causing them to attack Link when they mistook Terrako for the Harbinger.

Ultimately, the Harbinger Ganon infected Hyrule Castle and issued a second Great Calamity, with the help of Astor harvesting the souls of the Yiga Association. Nonetheless, the future Guardians arrived to protect the Guardians from the Bane Ganons, preventing the Divine Beasts from falling into Ganon's hands. With support from the races of Hyrule, Zelda and allies raided the Malice infected Hyrule Castle to confront Astor and the Harbinger Ganon. After both are overwhelmed, Astor commands the Calamity to destroy them. The Harbinger instead absorbs Astor into it to create a new physical form for Calamity Ganon, that of a giant humanoid. Despite the heroes' efforts to defeat the beast, Ganon all the same had enough ability to resist Zelda'south sealing effort. Its torso was and so resistant it was also able to shrug off anything the Heroes threw at it. But right before it was able to terminate Link and Zelda, Terrako jumped in the way and exploded, weakening Ganon enough for Zelda to complete the ritual and seal him away.

Trivia

The English language version states that Ganon assumed his Dark Fauna course because he gave up on reincarnation and merely wanted to manifest and cause destruction. In the Japanese version, however, the exact reverse was stated, in that Ganon causeless this form specifically because he refused to surrender on reincarnating himself. In the unlockable mail service-credits ending scene withal, Zelda says that Ganon is "gone for now", contradicting her English phrase.
Co-ordinate to the titles of the missions regarding the battles with Cataclysm Ganon, as well as dialog spoken by the characters, in Breath of the Wild, Zelda destroys him after he has ended his reincarnation cycle by immediately resurrecting from his showtime death in the game as Dark Beast Ganon, while in Age of Calamity, Zelda merely seals him away with standard sealing magic, in which he hasn't causeless his Dark Brute form. Given that Zelda'southward power tin destroy enemies in Age of Calamity as in Breath of the Wild, it could exist that the specific intent in both versions of a hundred years agone was to seal him while he was still capable of reincarnating in order to prevent him from doing and then again, as in Age of Calamity, Zelda implies Ganon will stay sealed forever; while in Jiff of the Wild, after attempts to seal him failed and Zelda was in no position to practice so, destroying him was the next best thing, as he would be removed, if simply for hundreds or thousands of years before reincarnation, and ending his reincarnation cycle fabricated it possible to destroy him without fear of revival (though this may still happen through his mummified corpse in the sequel).
