Ganondorf

"My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the power of this kid... No... it was not the kid's power I misjudged, it was the power of the Triforce of Courage! But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has... When I obtain these two Triforces... Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!!"

"YOU... CURSE YOU ZELDA!... CURSE YOU SAGES!!... CURSE YOU LINK! Someday when this seal is broken... That is when I will exterminate your descendants!! As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand..."

"Do you sleep still? Wait! Do not be so hasty, boy... I can see this girl's dreams... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans as far as the eye can see. They are vast seas... None can swim across them... They yield no fish to catch... What did the King of Hyrule say?... That the gods sealed Hyrule away? And they left behind people who would one day awaken Hyrule? How ridiculous... So many pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands, drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool... What they can possibly hope to achieve? Don't you see? All of you... Your gods destroyed you!"

"Your people have long amused me, Midna. To defy the gods with such petty magic, only to be cast aside...How very pathetic. Pathetic as they were, though, they served me well. Their anguish was my nourishment. Their hatred bled across the void and awakened me. I drew deep of it and grew strong again. Your people had some skill, to be sure...but they lacked true power. The kind of absolute power that those chosen by the gods wield. He who wields such power would make a suitable king for this world, don't you think?"

"To know Calamity Ganon's true form, one must know the story from an age long past. The demon king was born into this kingdom, but his transformation into Malice created the horror you see now. Stories of Ganon were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales. But there was also...a prophecy. "The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground.""

- King Rhoam describing Calamity Ganon

"The source of the darkness that has appeared time and again throughout Hyrule's history. It's been called many names, from "Great King of Evil" to "Calamity." Hibernating within a cocoon, it attempted to regenerate a physical form after Link awoke but was forced to confront him in an incomplete state."

- The Hyrule Compendiums description of Calamity Ganon

"After Ganon was defeated by Link, the remaining Malice pulled itself together to form this bestial creature. Its appearance and fiendish magic earned it the name of Dark Beast. This form is considered to be Ganon's original, although in this state, his awareness has been consumed entirely by Malice, and all he knows is a desire to rampage and destroy."

Destructive Ability: Multi-Continent Level (Considered the greatest threat among Hyrule and should be superior to the likes of Onox, who can easily conjure large thunderstorms and Veran, who is considerably above Onox. Stronger than Child Link, who Ganondorf was able to oneshot without any effort whatsoever) | Dwarf Star Level (Capable of spinning the planet around in 180 degrees, which wielded this magnitude of power), likely Large Star Level (Zant had access to a small part of his power, yet has feats of warping The Twilight Realm, a world so big it contains a sun) |  Universe Level, likely Multi-Universe Level (Wields and is powered by The Complete Triforce , which can substain an entire reality and without it, Lorule crumbled, of which is treated as a parallel world to The Light World.

Lifting Ability: Class T (Physically above monsters like Gohma, who can casually lift up and move large chunks of bedrock) | Class E (Superior to the Four Giants who could hold the moon and halt it from falling), Class Z with Telekinesis (Can keep his castle and a small island floating in the air) | Class E (Immensely stronger than before), at least Class Z via Telekinesis |  Class T normally, Class Z via Telekinesis (Can easily move the moon out of orbit)

Striking Ability: Multi-Continental Class | Dwarf Star Class, likely Large Star Class | Universal, likely Multi-Universal | Large Planet Class 

Durability: Multi-Continent Level (Viewed Child Link as a non threat and even didn't take him seriously at first. Can endure hits from The Master Sword) | Dwarf Star Level, likely Large Star Level (Can survive his own magical techniques, as shown when Link reflects his own magic back at Ganon and it doesn't outright kill him) | Universe Level, likely Multi-Universe Level (Empowered by The Triforce) | Large Planet Level (Completely unaffected by the Light Arrows given to Link by Zelda, only being harmed by them when Zelda creates weak spots on his body)

Stamina: Very High (Can fight with many incarnations of Link, whilst ignoring powerful and even normally fatally blows off. Can sustain his castle off air for several years nonstop with his magic and said castle is thousands of feet off land. Should scale to other well-trained Gerudo who can fight with and train for long periods of time without fatigue)

Range: Planetary (Able to BFR people without even being present in the general area and can also affect the entire Great Sea with a magic curse. Could sense and watch Links battle with Phantom Ganon despite being on the opposite side of Hyrule, while dead his heart caused chaos across Hyrule), at his peak, Cross-Universal with Dimensional Travel and BFR (To The Dark World)

Intelligence: Genius. Despite his reputation as a thief and being known by most of the races of Hyrule to have placed curses on people to get his way he still gained and maintained the trust of the king of Hyrule while also running his own country in the desert to the west, managed to deduce that Link held the means to open the Door of Time with what little interaction he had with him and secretly followed him into the Temple of Time in order to enter the Sacred Realm and claim the Triforce, used Zants insanity and desperation to his advantage by falsely posing as a god and granting him a portion of his power in order to try and create a new world by merging the Twilight realm with Hyrule and escape his imprisonment in the Twilight realm in the process, and is a highly skilled warrior who can match various incarnations of Link in swordsmanship. However, in games such as the original Legend of Zelda his intelligence has devolved to below-average levels, although he can still organize and command an army of monsters

Weaknesses: Often portrayed as extremely arrogant and can blind himself to threats, such as when he ignored Link and didn't view him as a threat. His invisibility technique only affects his body, this leaves his magic completely visible. His intangibility can only work if he can sustain his darkness, as alot of light will dispel of this illusion

Other Attributes
List of Equipment: Dual Blades and a Trident ​​​​​

Malice Abilities
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Waves of Darkness: Ganon will show off the Triforce of Power before releasing large waves of darkness that stun his opponents and leave them stuck in place. He can also use these waves as an invisible aura around himself that keeps much weaker opponents from physically approaching him.
 * Energy Blast/Dead Man's Volley: Ganon charges up energy in his hand before releasing a bolt of energy at his opponent. There are two variations to this attack, one where he simply shoots a single energy bolt and another where he charges a large ball of energy over his head before absorbing it and shooting out several homing shots. If the opponent is able to reflect the attack they will enter a "game" of Dead Mans Volley where Ganon will continuously reflect the attack back until either he or his opponent dodge or fail to reflect the attack.
 * Illusionary Doppelgangers: Ganon will create a pair of illusions of himself that possesses his abilities, despite the copies being illusions they can physically damage the damage with their attacks.
 * Blazing Bats: Ganon creates a ring of several fireballs around himself that he can expand outwards to attack his opponent, after creating the fireballs he will transform them into flaming bats that will then fly towards his opponent while leaving a trail of fire behind them. He can also quickly send out a single bat if he so chooses without the need of creating several fireballs.
 * Inversion Room: Ganon will warp the surrounding area into a distorted blue vortex that reverses his opponent's movements, making up-down and left-right as examples of the effects, disorienting them so he can much more easily attack them as they struggle to coordinate their movements.
 * Banishment: Ganon will banish his targets either to the gap between dimensions or into the Dark World, a twisted version of Hyrule that passively transforms any who enter it into a reflection of their heart and mind. The Dark World can also occasionally drive people insane or erase their consciousness if they remain in the realm long enough, and is filled with demons and monsters loyal to Ganon who will attack people on sight (It should be noted the Dark World only exists during the events of A Link to the Past, making BFR to the realm and its effects only applicable to his completed Triforce key)
 * Spectral Knights: Ganon will shoot out several ethereal orbs that summon ghosty knights on horses to aid him in combat, and should any of them be destroyed he can continually summon more to replace them.
 * Technique of Darkness: Using this technique allows Ganon to cover the surrounding area in supernatural darkness that renders him both invisible and intangible, becoming intangible even to Link who can attack and destroy ghosts. However this technique has a major drawback in that a sufficient amount of light will negate the effects of the darkness and forcibly render him tangible and visible once again.
 * Flaming Barrier: Ganon will create a large red hot forcefield around himself by coating his entire body in some kind of fiery substance. The coating greatly boosts his durability and even protects him from holy weapons and attacks.
 * Homing Fireball: Ganon will create a fireball that will home in on his opponent's location. Once it makes contacts with anything solid it erupts into a massive explosion.
 * Tornadoes: Ganon will conjure up several tornados around his opponent.
 * Ice Spears: Ganon will use his ice magic to create massive spears of ice that he will either use for short- or long-range distances, tossing them at his opponent.
 * Twilight Deconstruction: Can deconstruct himself into twilight particles granting him a form of intangibility and allowing him to enter the body of others to possess them. He can likely also deconstruct other beings and objects much like Midna can, turning them into twilight particles and sending them to another location.
 * Twilight Portals: Ganon will enter twilight portals and disappear from his opponent's sight before emerging from another portal in an attempt to take them by surprise and bullrush them. He can also create fake portals before he reappears to disorient his foe.

Malice Abilities

 * Malice Possession Calamity Ganon will shoot out large amounts of his Malice, that upon contact will corrupt and possess his opponents bringing them under his control, and has been shown to work on the undead and even on machines.
 * Malice Beam: In his Dark Beast Ganon state he can fire massive beams of Malice from his mouth at his opponent. Unfortunately, he has to spend a handful of seconds charging up the attack first before he can fire it.
