Ganon,(TLoZ | ALttP | OoT | OoS | OoA | TWW | FSA | TP | ALBW | BotW | TCT)[22][23] also known by his human form Ganondorf Dragmire,(OoT | TWW | FSA | TP | TotK)[24][5] is the main antagonist of The Legend of Zelda series. Ganon is a nickname for Ganondorf and the name given to him when he transforms into his monster form, a boar-like beast.[25] He made his debut appearance in the very first game, The Legend of Zelda, and has since been present or referred to in most subsequent titles. He is the archnemesis of Link and Princess Zelda.
