My video game nemesis is none other than the power hungry Ganon or otherwise known as Ganondorf. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD! In the Legend of Zelda (original game) you has no idea who Ganon even looked like, you just heard stories of his great dark powers and the fact you had to go out and face this dark terrible power is somewhat frightening. When you entered his chambers you saw this gigantic blue pig demon that used all of his powers to stop you in your tracks, however your utility and skills soon fell the dark lord.
In Zelda II you didn't fight Ganon however you knew he was their, in your mind. Taunting and tormenting you with his laughs echoing through your mind with the constant fear of being hunted down for your blood to resurrect the dark lord. The cold realization that your death meant the end of the world.
In A Link to the Past the main villain (or you so thought) was a traitorous wizard named Agahnim who killed the king of hyrule, corrupted his soldiers, and sacrificed innocent little girls who so happen to be the descendants of the Sages that closed the doors between Hyrule and the Sacred Realm. The wizard was sacrificing the maidens in hopes of reopening the doors. As you ventured between the Light and Dark worlds of Hyrule you finally faced with Agahnim, upon defeating him something rises from his corpse and flies away, you chase down the creature to the pyramid where you first started your adventure in the Dark World. Inside the pyramid you suddenly face off with Ganon and realize that it was Ganon that possessed the wizard and made him do so many terrible deeds. After finally defeating him you find the Triforce and set everything back to where it was suppose to be.
In Ocarina of Time there was a Gerudo who was named Ganondorf who was king of the Gerudos of Hyrule, he would take regular trips to Hyrule Castle for peace meetings with the King of Hyrule. However his real intentions was nothing but peaceful. In the castle Zelda reveals that Ganondorf is after the Triforce, however the Triforce was locked away in the Sacred Realm needing several keys to open it. Ganondorf hunted for the keys and whoever had the one of the keys and refused to give it to him soon met with doom and sorrow. After collecting all the Stones and played the Song of Time on the Ocarina of Time you entered a secret chamber of the Temple of Time and found the Master Sword and the way to the Sacred Realm, as you pulled out the sword you soon realize that you walked into a trap set up by Ganondorf as you both are sent to the Sacred Realm. As you took your seven year slumber Ganondorf tried to use the Triforce but the Triforce broke into 3 pieces and was sent to 3 people, Ganondorf being one of them. As you awake you find much has changed. Using the only Triforce piece he had he destroyed the beautiful Hyrule Castle in place a giant floating castle with a town full of Redeads. The Ranch was taken over by the selfish Ingo. The Gorons were almost eaten into extinction and the aquatic Zoras Domain was nothing more than a Frozen Wasteland. After collecting all the medallions, infiltrated Ganondorf's Floating Castle of Doom, ultimately killing him, and escaping the collapsing castle with the princess in hand Ganondorf reveals his true form using the Triforce of Power. Becoming too powerful to kill off, you and Zelda weaken him enough to transport Ganon into the Sacred Realm where he would spend eternity.
In Wind Waker Ganondorf escapes the Sacred Realm and terrorizes Hyrule once again, with the absence of the Hero of Time the Goddesses decide to flood Hyrule with Ganondorf trapped there forever. Years later he escapes into the new world called the Great Sea and plots to find the two pieces of the Triforce. He decides to send his giant bird to fetch girls with long ears. A pirate girl named Tetra gets kidnapped but the bird gets hit in the head with a catapault launched boulder and confuses Tetra your sister and flies off with your sister. After restoring the Master Sword's power, rescuing your sister, and restoring the Triforce of Courage you come to find out that Zelda who has the Triforce of Wisdom was kidnapped by Ganondorf and you had to break into Ganondorf's tower to and defeat him. Ganondorf catches you unconscious and restores the Triforce but before he could cast his wish, the King of Hyrule uses the Triforce to sink Hyrule forever. After killing Ganon, you and Zelda float to the surface, never to see Hyrule again.
In Twilight Princess, Ganondorf was sentenced to execution for his horrible deed. However things go wrong as Ganondorf attacks and kills one of the sages, the sages send him to the Twilight Realm. Ganondorf came across a creature named Zant and offered him dark powers in exchange for his will. Ganondorf used Zant to curse the other Twili into horrible monsters that went out into the Light World and killed innocent people (The Villagers of Kakariko Village for example)and took away the light from 3 of the 4 gods. After killing Zant and breaking into Hyrule Castle you fight Ganon in 4 different fights as he posseses princess Zelda, turns into a giant boar, fights you on horseback, and finally fights you sword to sword. After his death Hyrule was peaceful once again.
So basically Ganon is my nemesis because he is a power hungry murderer who would do anything to have power that doesn't simply go away after the first time you beat him.
