The character of Ganon can be hard to defeat in Hyrule Warriors. However, with a little know-how and use of the right weaponry, you are sure to succeed.

Part 1
Part 1 of 6:
Using Bombs

  1. 1
    Be aware that when Ganon first appears, he uses several attacks.
    • With his left arm, he will shoot a fireball like King Dodongo.
    • With his right arm, he will shoot beams like Gohma.
    • With his left/right shoulder spikes he will shoot seeds like Manhandla.
    • When flying, he will breathe fire and his tail will turn blue like Argorok.
    • He also will roll, essentially trying to bulldoze you, similar to what King Dodongo does.
  2. 2
    Defend against the fireball attack. Every time you hit him, he will stop doing whatever attack you prevented. By using bombs, you can make him stop with the fireballs by shooting them onto his left arm before he fires them, just like King Dodongo. (Except, fire the bombs at his left arm, not his mouth.)

Warnings

  • There are two times in which Ganon rears back. He will stay on all fours when he's about to shoot seeds, however he will stand up on his hind legs if he's going to roll. That is how to tell which is which, so pay attention!
