[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Having been defeated by Link while possessing Princess Zelda, Ganondorf appears to be defeated, and Zelda's soul is returned to her body. After a brief reunion, Ganondorf suddenly manifests himself as a huge flaming head, the same form he took when he first appeared to Zant. Within seconds, Ganondorf transforms into a behemoth pig-like creature known as Ganon. He erects a magical barrier to prevent Zelda and Midna from intervening and attacks Link, who utilizes his own beast form to defeat Ganon.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
[edit] Battle
[edit] Phase 1
When the battle starts, Ganon will run around the room for a time and then turn to charge Link. Link must use the Hero's Bow and aim for the glowing jewel on his forehead, or he can smash Ganon's head with he Ball and Chain. As a result of either method, Ganon is knocked over, and Link can either turn into Wolf Link and attack or use the Master Sword to damage the evil beast. Link is to repeat the process until Ganon initiates phase 2.
[edit] Phase 2
Next, Ganon will warp out of the room and summon red Twilight portals, which fade a few seconds after appearing. One of the portals remains longer than the others and turns blue; Ganon emerges from this portal and charges Link. Again, the jewel in Ganon's head must be shot with the Hero's Bow or struck with the Ball and Chain in order to stun him and expose his wound to Link's attacks. Link can use the same methods of attack as before.
[edit] Phase 3
In order to defeat Ganon, Link must listen to Midna's advice. During the third phase, whenever Link shoot an arrow at an oncoming Ganon, he will vanish and reappear. Now Ganon is fought like a giant Ordon Goat, except Link must transform into a wolf, and when Ganon charges towards Link, the A button must be pressed at precisely the right moment. By tilting the control stick, Link and Midna will turn Ganon on his side. Link must then attack the same weak point as before using either of the previous attack methods. Link repeats this strategy until Ganon is defeated, and then he will face Ganondorf on horseback.
It should be noted that Wolf Link can be used for all three phases by using the same technique from phase 3 each time.
