Why You HATE Calamity Ganon and LOVE Demon King Ganondorf…

Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild isn't the WORST boss I've ever fought, but it could definitely be better! So I'm glad Tears of the Kingdom's Demon King Ganondorf fight added in some much needed changes!

When Ganondrof flurry rushed me, I broke out in a crazy grin, knowing that this is the true final boss

[therealcentera]

I love how they brought back Ganondorf being able to destroy your hearts from the intro sequence.

When ganon dodged my flurry rush I felt both insane happiness and primal fear.

[Serperiority_]

Ganondorf actually being a sentient being instead of some mindless beast makes a big difference. Mistiming a flurry rush dodge and being taunted by him adds to the experience.

I almost screamed when the health bar didnt stop going up.

[garboge]

It hurt to see an ancient arrow used on a malice eye

[NameNotFound]

ganondorf's fight is this:

'hey you aren't meant to be able to flurry rush me'
'WHY CAN'T I HEAL MY HP WHAT DID YOU DO'
_'yeah just pull out a comically long hp bar because why not'_

[daydreamer]

Demon King Ganondorf just gives so much more depth to the fight bc instead of a weird malice thing you’re fighting, it’s an actual person that gives dialogue and it’s just so much cooler

I was freaking out during the fight

Bonus: He’s

I loved the Demon King Ganondorf fight simply because of the fact that he broke my Hylian Shield and I successfully depleted the last third of his health one hit away from death with no shield. It was an absolute gaming highlight memory for me.

Gannondorf jumping off the platform ready to fight you was cold asf reminded me of when Madara soloed an entire army

[Präkkle]

"Fox only final destination" was the best way to describe the first Phase of the fight

[_NormalEditor]

a kickflip on the final boss is actually pretty cool lmao

[aureofyodo]

I first was flabbergasted that Ganondorf had the guts to flurry rush me

[Liljinks]

When he flurry rushed me, the amount of “crap crap crap crap crap what do I do” I felt is insane

[gtvnathan]

If your Hylian Shield didn't break fighting Ganondorf you didn't play the game

Edit: coming back to this comment a year later, maybe this was a little dumb

[ZelinkEva]

It is also a lot more fun to fight a villain who actually talks and stuff. It feels like a lot more deeply emotional fight and you get a lot more invested in it.

[capndikkens]

Not only did they not take away half of his health at the start of the battle, but in his second phase, his health bar fills more than normal.

[linkjones]

One of the other things I loved about demon king, is that this felt like two skilled swordsmen facing down eachother, both countering each others moves and forcing the player to either be good at combat or die. The anticipation between clashes and the "what next" aspect of the fight makes this fight one of the most memorable Ganondorf fights of all time IMO

[danielebowman]

I loved the Ganon fight. The floor breaking and link floating down and bringing out his master sword was cool. The Divine Beasts firing at it looked and felt so good and so EPIC! Who cares if it halved his health. The mechanics were fun. Sure Tears Ganondorf felt more personal, and the increasing health bar was brilliant, but the little touches in the Ganon fight were great.

Bro flurry rushing back and forth was so much fun
