Ganondorf (Zelda)

Every time Hyrule gets a moment of peace, you know who's eventually going to ruin it. Ganondorf isn't just another obstacle standing between Link and the ending. He's a recurring force of destruction, showing up with dark magic, enormous power, and the kind of confidence that makes every confrontation feel dangerous. From Ocarina of Time to Tears of the Kingdom, his battles have given Zelda fans plenty of reasons to defend him. Bowser might be more approachable, and Sephiroth might have the more dramatic entrance, but Ganondorf brings the weight of an entire kingdom into the fight. Is he gaming's greatest recurring enemy, or is someone else taking the throne?
