Character Sheet: Ganon's Heart

GANON'S HEART

Alright, so we did have one more semi-big character list in us. Let's get into it! This is all characters I could pull out originating from the Legend of Zelda manga, or were given just enough of a boost by the manga to make it into our rankings. They are:

1. Maple

2. Jolene

3. Ricky

4. Captain Stalfos

5. Manga Link

6. Riruto

7. Manga Zelda

8. Raska

9. Tou

10. Ghanti

11. Gonza

12. Kala

13. Captain Arjuna

14. Sir Raven

15. Biri

16. Com

17. Gump

18. Shemlon

19. Rouro

20. Ganon's Minion

21. Ganon's Heart

22. Ganos

23. Haggis

So, in the Mishouzaki manga, Ganon was portrayed as a nearly all-powerful demon unleashed into the world when a human and an elf decided to . . . have intercourse. Alright then. After finally being defeated by Link, the offspring of said blasphemous relationship, a new avatar was created in the sequel, patterning its appearance upon Link, to seek a new way to return to the world. This didn't really have a name, but at one point, it referred to itself as Ganon's heart, so that's what I'm going with.

This avatar could extend its arms, Mr. Fantastic-style, absorb attacks, disappear and teleport, open its mouth wide to eat people, and it stole Link's big old wedge-shaped White Sword. Then there was the big all-powerful demon form that looked like a big cloud with a pig's head (Calamity Ganon before Calamity Ganon was a think), and everything that came with that. I think we can work with all of that.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Extending Grab

The heart will extend its hands out across the stage to grab an opponent and pull them toward it, opening its mouth wide to eat them.

Side B: White Sword

The heart will swing Link's White Sword forward and smash it down, dealing heavy damage and launching opponents.

Up B: Teleport

The heart will disappear into shadow and reappear somewhere else, avoiding damage in the process.

Down B: Absorb

A sort of shielding move, it will turn into a liquid if pressed as an attack lands, completely absorbing the energy put into the attack, which can then be added to the heart's next attack.

Final Smash: Demon Ganon

It will transform back into its full demonic form, filling the stage with shadow and then impaling all fighters on the demon's large tusks.

Entrance: Shadow will form and harden into its avatar.

Taunts: Up, Demon Ganon's head will appear and swirl around its heart. Side, it will heft the White Sword and swing it around. Down, it will turn shadowy with glowing eyes and become more of a blob.

Thanks for reading! Next up, a version of Ganon made by someone who I don't think looked at the character's sprite very hard.
