'''Beast Ganon '''(魔獣ガノン, ''Demon Beast Ganon'') is [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]] [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]''. It returns as Ganondorf’s Final Smash in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

== Overview ==
'''Beast Ganon''' is [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]]'s [[Final Smash]]. Ganondorf turns into his beast/boar form from ''Twilight Princess'', then stomps. If caught in the transformation hitbox, the opponent receives 10% damage, and gets [[buried]]. The stomp does little damage, but it stuns the opponent, even if they're in midair. Beast Ganon then does a dash across the stage that does 47% damage. The move, if the dash hits, is in nearly every situation a [[One-Hit KO]], but if he hits all three opponents at once, only one who is heavy will not be KO'd and will survive and continue to battle. Soon after transforming, Ganondorf returns to his normal form, and warps back to the spot he used it. You can't self-destruct with this move, unless you were doomed to die before using it (i.e. If Ganondorf uses this move on a falling block, even if it has not begun to fall yet). If you use this move, try to be at the boundary line of the screen. If you start in the middle, opponets can get behind you, and they will not be hit.

However, the Ganon used in ''Brawl'', like Ganondorf himself, is based on his appearance in ''The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' and even has the same glowing wound.

Beast Ganon (魔獣ガノン, Demon Beast Ganon) is Ganondorf's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It returns as Ganondorf’s Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is referred to as Ganon, The Demon King (魔王ガノン, Demon King Ganon) during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct, however it is still called Beast Ganon in the game.

Overview

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Ganondorf turns into Ganon, a gigantic beast resembling a fearsome boar, then stomps. If caught in the transformation hitbox, the opponent receives 10% damage and gets buried. The stomp does little damage, but it stuns the opponent, even if they're in midair. Ganon then does a dash across the stage that does 47% damage. The move, if the dash hits, is in nearly every situation a One-Hit KO, even on multiple characters. Soon after transforming, Ganondorf returns to his normal form, and appears back at the spot in which he used it. The player can't self-destruct with this move, unless he/she was doomed to die before using it (i.e. if Ganondorf uses this move on a falling block, even if it has not begun to fall yet). If the player uses this move, they should try to be at the boundary line of the screen. If he/she starts in the middle, opponents can get behind the player, and they will avoid being hit.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

It is somewhat the same as its Super Smash Bros. Brawl counterpart where the transformation hitbox deals 10% of damage but when Ganon stomps, it deals 10% aswell as stunning the opponent and the dash deals 40% of damage Down from 47% in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In total Beast Ganon deals 60% of damage if all hits are successful however it is not able to One-Hit KO anymore.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

When Ganondorf uses his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he transforms into his Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time incarnation where he has two swords and is bipedal. When he transforms, he slashes with his sword dealing 10% of damage and Meteor Smashing the opponent. He then dashes forward dealing 45% of damage to anybody caught in his range. In total it deals 55% of damage, 5% less than in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Depending on whether the target is offstage and lower down in comparison to Ganon’s sword, the target will either be hit by Ganon during the slow motion effect, or be Meteor Smashed.

Ganon is a boss in Classic Mode and Adventure Mode: World of Light, serving Dharkon in the latter.

Both Beast Ganon’s appearances in Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time appear as Spirits. In order to unlock the “Ganon” spirit, the player must defeat the Ganon Boss Fight in World of Light. To unlock the “Beast Ganon” Spirit, the player must first acquire the ”Ganondorf (Twilight Princess)” spirit. Afterwards, they have to level it up to Level 99 and then enhance it.

Origin

Ganon is the ultimate form of Ganondorf, which debuted in the original Legend Of Zelda game on the NES and has appeared in almost every Zelda title since in some way, shape, or form. Ganon is traditionally a large, half-human/half-boar in all of the games he appears in. However, the Ganon used in Brawl, like Ganondorf himself, is based on his appearance in The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess and even has the same glowing wound. This version was completely beast-like, and Ganon's main attack in Twilight Princess was charging at Link.

The depictions from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U originated from Twilight Princess while the depiction from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate originated from Ocarina of Time.
