More on Ganon
Description from Wikipedia:
Ganon, also known as Ganondorf in his human form, is a fictional character and the main antagonist of several games in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. He is the most commonly recurring villain in the series, frequently appearing as the final boss. Although he has appeared many times in the series, he was first given a back-story in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The A Link to the Past instruction manual gives the character's full name as Ganondorf Dragmire, though the surname never appears in the game or any later work.
Originally a leader of the Gerudo, a race of desert brigands, he acquired great magical power (the source of which varies) to become a demon emperor of darkness. Ganon's motives and desires vary in specifics from game to game, but most often include the domination of Hyrule and presumably the world beyond it. To this end he seeks the relic of the gods known as the Triforce, which can bestow great power upon its holder. Ganon's influence over the Triforce varies, but he is consistently shown as being associated with the Triforce of Power and is often in possession of it, giving him great strength but not enough to fulfill his dark desires, leading him to hunt the remaining Triforce pieces.
In general, Ganon has been well-received by critics and fans. Ganondorf was the runner-up in the GameFAQs battle of villains character contest, in which he was defeated by Sephiroth and was named the fourth best villain ever in an episode of G4's Filter.
