The demon thief Ganondorf has returned! He’s the largest and bulkiest of all the human-type characters.
His movement, his attack capability – everything feels weighted. Ganondorf’s attacks land with heavy thunks, which gives him a very unique feel.

Tips
In the last game, Ganondorf appeared with a stocky build, so he’s got a middle-aged guy’s body here too.
His techniques are rendered with his solidity in mind – they’re brimming with the refinement of middle age.

He runs while panting... "Uff uff uff!"

A piercing kick! He blasts the opponent sideways.
Down Taunt: Ganondorf draws a sword.

He takes out the sword he stole from the six Sages and takes a look at it...

...and then puts it away.
What are you putting it away for? Use it! People tend to make fun of Ganondorf for this.
Side Special Move: Flame Choke

On the ground, he grabs the opponent’s head and thumps it down.

In the air, he immediately slams the foe earthwards!
As you end up close to the opponent lying on the ground, neither you nor your foe should let your guard down. Try a follow-up attack, or get up and fight – if not, dodge away from your enemy and unleash your counterattack.

It’s relatively easy to make successful standard attacks against bulkier, larger opponents.
Up Special Move: Dark Dive

Jump here...

...and if the opponent stays close, you’ll grab and electrify him/her.

If the opponent is far off, hit him with the Darkness from your hand.
Attacks which burn the opponent like charcoal are classified as "Darkness". If a sticker has the Darkness effect, it’ll have the same effect as Ganondorf’s charring blows. His standard special move Warlock Punch and down special move Wizard’s Foot are also Darkness attacks.
Final Smash: Beast Ganon
He transforms into a massive demonic beast and charges!!
Even though it lasts but a fleeting moment, it’s a visually striking and terrifying attack.

Trans...FORM!!!

Roarrrrrrrrrr!

Charge!
The effect lasts only a split second, but what an impact. Whoa.
Those who have used Ganondorf may have noticed this... His roar has the effect of paralysing enemies who are right in front of him.
This affects only those who are standing on solid ground. If you want to dodge this, I’d suggest using a jump or something to keep your feet off the ground.

He can also bury his opponents when he transforms. You’re kidding, right?
