[edit] Story

Prior to the two Oracle games, Ganon was either imprisoned in the Dark Realm or killed by one of the previous Links. His foster mother, the conjoined witch Twinrova, sought to revive him. Their plan consisted of sending two powerful servants from the Dark Realm, General Onox and Veran, to the lands of Holodrum and Labrynna. The villains wreaked havoc upon the two countries, and though both were defeated by the hero Link, they succeeded in lighting the Flames of the Dark Rites. Twinrova then kidnapped Princess Zelda, as a pure sacrifice was required in order to complete the ritual to revive Ganon. Link intervened and rescued Zelda, so the two witches were forced to sacrifice themselves to finish the ritual. However, because Twinrova was an impure sacrifice, Ganon was brought back as a mindless raging killing machine. After Link defeated him, the Evil King seemed to briefly regain a degree of his sanity before his apparent death.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
[edit] Battle
Ganon will teleport around the room using attacks in a random order. The attacks include slashing at Link using his trident, firing off small magic projectiles, and stomping the ground to stun Link before firing a large sphere of magic. As Ganon nears defeat, he transforms the room, reversing Link's movement in response to the controller. In order to damage Ganon, Link must perform a Spin Attack near him. Alternately, if the Master Sword has been obtained from a secret of the Linked Game, Link can damage Ganon with basic sword strikes.

[edit] Connection with the rest of the series
It is not clear which, if any, of Ganon's previous defeats preceded Twinrova's attempt to revive him. However, Twinrova is shown attempting to revive him, rather then simply bring him back from the Dark Realm.
