This thread is a collection of all of the "golden nuggets" of information that I could find while mining through the 650+ pages of the main Ganondorf, thread "How to Wreck *****es with Ganon?."

This does not include information outside of that particular thread as I really wanted to get something started to making these boards more organized. It has been discussed many times before that it would be beneficial to go through the entire thread and collect all the good bits of information so that no one else has to dig for it and information doesn't have to be repeated while also being easily accessible.

Of course keep in mind that there are probably some tidbits of information in that thread that I skimmed over or just plain missed when going through. If you feel like you contributed something to the development of Ganondorf and I didn't post it in this thread, please let me know with a link to your content and I will be sure to add it.

I’m searching for an old post about Ganon being the most broken character and compares him to Ivan Ooze. I know it’s probably a ****post, but that **** inspired me. I wish it was archived here.
