Ganon
Dark Beast:Ganon appears in "Liberation of the Triforce" andGanon's Fury. He is the final boss ofLegend Mode and combines all of the attacks and weaknesses of the previous Giant Bosses. His right claw will charge a fire blast like King Dodongo while weak to Bombs, his left claw will charge a laser beam like Gohma while weak to the Bow, his shoulder spikes will rapidly fire seeds like Manhandla and then become weak to the Boomerang, and his tail will glow blue like Argorok while weak to the Hookshot. Each successful blow will break the part that was hit, disabling the attack it uses. Once all four parts are broken, Ganon will begin to repeatedly charge toward the Warrior and cause the gem on his forehead to temporarily glow after each dash. The gem is weak to theBow while it is glowing and will finally make Ganon vulnerable to attack once it is struck. He will usually dropGanon's Mane as a Silver Material, and rarely,Ganon's Fang as a Gold Material.
In Ganon's Fury, a mode featured in theBoss DLC Pack exclusive to the Wii U version, Ganon will also appear as a playable character. He shares many attributes to the other playable Warriors, but handles differently due to his large size.
