A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when Ganondorf hits with it (included in the attack), which deals necrotic damage instead of the weapon's normal type. Ganondorf's weapon attacks are magical. Ganon (1/Day). While he has access to the Triforce of Power, if Ganondorf is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, he immediately transforms into Ganon. His statistics, including hit points and alignment, are replaced with those of Ganon. He does not regain magic points or uses of Legendary Resistance, however. This transformation absolves him of all conditions, poisons, and diseases other than death and petrification. This transformation persists until he uses an action to end it, he is killed, or he loses access to the Triforce of Power. Legendary Resistance (3/Day).

![]() Source See Religion (Hyrule Supplement)#Ganon. Ganondorf, former gerudo king, is the most infamous humanoid in all of Hyrulean history. Through the Triforce of Power, he has attained near-immortality. Over millennia, he or his other incarnations has sought to violently overthrow the Kingdom of Hyrule, oppose the will of the gods, and even destroy the entire Light World. Every time the heroes of Hyrule seem to have stopped his plans, slain him outright, or even turned him into solid stone, he finds a way of returning to become the scourge of Hyrule once again. These statistics assume Ganondorf has the Triforce of Power, and will transform into Ganon when his hit points are reduced to 0. For a version of this character without such capabilities, see Ganondorf, Dethroned (5e Creature). |
Variant: Without Transformation
The Challenge Rating above assumes Ganondorf will transform into Ganon when he reaches 0 hit points. If he doesn't, his Challenge Rating is 18 (20,000 XP).
