Ganondorf is the main villain of the Legend of Zelda games. I am sure all of you are familiar with him so I will just cut to the chase.
Now as everyone knows Ganondorf is a clone of Captain Falcon and that has caused lots of people to want him to have an "updated" moveset. The reason mainly I believe people want Ganondorf to change is obviously to have less clones (less clones the better) and it would honestly better represent the character and how he acts in the series. Now with Sakurai doing a lot more character changes this time around it would not be a surprise to see Ganondorf gets some changes, then again he could not get changed at all and still be same old Ganondorf.
Common requests people have said to help make Ganondorf not be a clone:
- Have his Sword
- Have 2 Swords (Wind Waker Style)
- Be replaced with Ganon (His beast form)
- Be replaced by some other Zelda character
So honestly I think that Ganondorf should use his sword like in this video here. MOST of his attacks should be different BUT have a similar feel to the original clone Ganondorf like for example similar type strikes but with a sword. His attacks would have longer range with his sword BUT he should not be too focused on his sword attacks. Just change him enough to sort of feel the same as the original but play differently at the same time so new and old Ganondorf users can still be familiar with him.
Moves Ganondorf should definitely keep!
Side Special: This is the main move that makes Ganondorf and Captain Falcon some what different, Ganondorf can even grab characters in the air which is something Captain Falcon can't do. This move is even used in Legend of Zelda Wind Waker (Could not find a picture, sorry).
Down Aerial: This move is just pretty bad ass, a little bit of a rip of Captain Falcon's but different enough I would say. It is easily one of the best Meteor Mash in the game.
Down Smash: Just another staple move again is kinda a clone move but then again a major move for Ganondorf.
So leave any comments below on how you think they should change Ganondorf, and if there is moves you would like to see him keep.
Trivia:
- Ganondorf was originally not gonna be included in SSBM; in fact he was the last character to be put in the game. The cast originally had 20 characters, people complained that there were not enough characters so Sakurai included some quick clone characters to add because development time was running low. The clone characters that were created were: Roy, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Young Link, and Ganondorf.
- Sakurai stated that if no character fitted Ganondorf's body shape then he would not be included in SSBM as a character at all. Captain Falcon fit the bill so Ganondorf was born.
