As players progress through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's main quest, Destroy Ganondorf, they may encounter various obstacles that require strategic solutions. Prior to embarking on the Destroy Ganondorf quest, it is highly recommended that players make adequate preparations. The following list outlines essential steps that players should take, warranting their sincere commitment and effort:

Gloom Healing Foods

The foremost necessity for the Destroy Ganondorf quest is to procure an ample supply of food capable of replenishing Gloom hearts. These vital sustenance items can be prepared by combining Sundelions with meats, fruits, or herbs. Players should anticipate consuming substantial quantities of these dishes during the quest.

Shields

Players must ensure that their inventory is stocked with a complete array of shields within Tears of the Kingdom. This precaution is crucial, as multiple shields are likely to be damaged or destroyed during the arduous battle against Ganondorf.

Gloom Resistance

Possessing a measure of Gloom Resistance, either through Gloom Resistance foods or by acquiring TotK's Depths Armor Set, can significantly alleviate challenges in specific segments of the quest. However, it is important to note that players can counter the effects of Gloom solely through the aforementioned Gloom healing foods. Gloom Resistance, therefore, can be considered an optional advantage.

Finding Ganondorf

Embarking on the crucial quest to defeat the malevolent monarch Ganondorf requires first locating his formidable stronghold. Residing deep within the chasm beneath Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf patiently awaits his challengers. While the path leading to his abode may appear straightforward, here is a detailed route for those who find themselves disoriented: Begin by gracefully descending into the Hyrule Castle Chasm, soaring through the air.

How to Defeat Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda?

Beating Ganondorf

The conflict against Ganondorf unravels through four distinct stages, each intricately described in the following sections.

Phase 1

The initial stage of this confrontation features TotK's Link facing off against Ganondorf alone, with the Demon King cycling through four different weapons. These weapons consist of a sword, spear, club, and bow. Below are some recommendations on how players can effectively handle each weapon:

Article continues below advertisementArticle continues below advertisement

Sword

When Ganondorf wields his sword, players are advised to maintain a distance, as this will prompt TotK's Demon King to use two specific attacks that can be easily dodged. In the first attack, Ganondorf charges towards Link with his sword to the side. Players should dodge backward just before the boss swings, enabling them to execute a Flurry Rush. The second attack involves Ganondorf running towards Link with his sword pointed upward. Sideways dodging can help players evade this attack, followed by a Flurry Rush.

Note that it is possible to utilize TotK's Ganondorf's sword attacks when he is near Link to initiate Flurry Rushes. However, the Demon King occasionally performs charged spin attacks from this position, which cause significant Gloom damage upon contact. While continuously backpedaling is a relatively easy way to avoid this attack, it is generally safer to stay far away from Ganondorf and eliminate the risk altogether.

Spear

Similarly, it is recommended to maintain distance when Ganondorf wields his spear, as this prompts him to execute a lunging attack that can be easily evaded with a sideways dodge, setting up a Flurry Rush. The charged lunge attack performed from a distance can also be countered with a well-timed perfect dodge, although consistently hitting the required timing might be challenging.

Club

Once again, Tears of the Kingdom players should keep their distance from Ganondorf when he wields his club, enticing him to perform an easily avoidable attack. This particular attack involves the Demon King leaping into the air and attempting to smash his club down on Link. Dodging backward when he reaches the apex of his jump will set up a Flurry Rush.

Ganondorf also executes an attack with his club where he charges it above his head and slams it down. While this attack is being charged, players should utilize the paraglider to ride the resulting air current upward. As they descend back to the ground, they can land several headshots with a bow.

Bow

The bow serves as a transitional weapon for Ganondorf, and he occasionally resorts to it when Link is far away. In such cases, players should simply sprint to avoid the projectiles and close the distance, forcing the Demon King to switch weapons.

Phase 2

Upon completely depleting Ganondorf's health, the formidable Demon King will summon his duplicates and acquire an imposing health reservoir. The good news is that the Sages of TotK will step into the fray at this juncture. Players are advised to allow the Sages to engage the duplicates while they confront Ganondorf in a separate section of the battleground.

Regarding the approach to this battle, enthusiasts should employ the very same strategies that were utilized in Phase 1. Undoubtedly, Ganondorf's onslaught remains unchanged during this second phase. Players who concentrate on evasive maneuvers and skillfully execute Flurry Rushes can navigate through this phase expeditiously.

Phase 3

Initiating Phase 3 in the battle against Ganondorf occurs when his second health bar reaches 50%. At this point, players will once again confront the formidable Demon King without any assistance. Although this phase largely resembles the first one, there are two significant modifications that fans should take note of.

Article continues below advertisement

The initial modification involves an expansion of Ganondorf's moveset. The majority of his weapons now possess a new attack that can devastatingly deplete Link's hearts. Players must exercise caution and be aware of this enhanced repertoire. The second modification requires players to execute two consecutive perfect dodges to inflict damage upon the Demon King.

Ganondorf has become adept at evading the initial Flurry Rush, necessitating the need for a second perfectly timed dodge before players can strike him. To address the first modification, players should employ swift movement to avoid Ganondorf's Gloom attacks. They can sprint through the gaps amidst the hazardous red obstacles that pose a threat to Link's well-being.

Regarding the second modification, fans should continue employing established strategies to initiate the first Flurry Rush, which Ganondorf will predictably evade. Immediately following this dodge, the Demon King will execute a subsequent attack. Players must execute a backward dodge (when Ganondorf employs a sword or club) or a sideways dodge (when he wields a spear) to successfully execute the second Flurry Rush.

It is worth noting that if players find it challenging to execute two consecutive perfect dodges, they can opt for a more aggressive approach. By utilizing standard strikes, players can force Ganondorf into a dodge and then perfectly dodge his ensuing counterattack to initiate a Flurry Rush. However, this strategy carries a degree of risk, as mistimed strikes can leave players vulnerable to punishment.

Phase 4

After depleting Ganondorf's second health bar, the formidable Demon King undergoes a transformation into the fearsome Demon Dragon, initiating a sky battle. This phase of the encounter proves to be comparatively easier for fans, as their objective revolves around gracefully gliding onto the dragon's back while deftly evading the incoming barrage of fiery projectiles.

Once atop the dragon, their attention should shift to obliterating the exposed clusters of eyes four in total. It's worth noting that as Link maneuvers across the Demon Dragon, he will sustain Gloom damage, which will be promptly healed each time he is thrown off.

Once the four eye clusters have been vanquished, a concealed Secret Stone located on the Demon Dragon's head is unveiled. The next crucial step for players is to skillfully land in proximity to the stone and deliver a precise strike using a melee weapon. This action triggers a captivating cutscene, marking the completion of the "Destroy Ganondorf" main quest within the Tears of the Kingdom storyline.
