In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Ganondorf appeared as an unlockable playable character, unlocked by either clearing Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering or by playing 600 Melee matches, and then defeating him in a one-on-one stock match. Like Link and Zelda, Ganondorf's appearance is based on his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', though he uses his "past" design instead of his "future" design. Ganondorf was not initially planned to appear in the game, but was later included since his body build was similar to that of Captain Falcon's. Like fellow secret characters [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]] and [[#Pichu|Pichu]], Ganondorf makes a cameo appearance in the title's introduction. His hand can be seen, along with Link's and Zelda's, one of the three Triforce pieces glowing on each of their hands. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Ganondorf's moveset is mostly copied from [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]]'s, the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to share moves with a character from another series. Compared to Falcon, Ganondorf is slower, stronger, larger, and heavier, meaning he is less mobile and attacks more slowly, but makes up for that with his greater attacking power and weight, making him harder to KO horizontally (though Falcon's faster fall speed makes him harder to KO vertically), and his added size, while making him easier to hit, also gives his attacks greater range. His standard special move is the Warlock Punch, his side special is the Gerudo Dragon, his up special is the Dark Dive, and his down special is the Wizard's Foot. Ganondorf also possesses the strongest meteor smash move (his down aerial attack), and his up strong attack, despite being slow in execution, is stronger than most smash attacks. Ganondorf's attacks also deal dark damage, as opposed to the fire of Captain Falcon's attacks. | Ganondorf's moveset is mostly copied from [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]]'s, the only character in ''Super Smash Bros.

Ganondorf (along with [[#Roy|Roy]] and [[#Sheik|Sheik]]) does not appear as an opponent in the game's Classic Mode, though he can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles. As a result, his introduction image for Classic Mode goes unused. | Ganondorf (along with [[#Roy|Roy]] and [[#Sheik|Sheik]]) does not appear as an opponent in the game's Classic Mode, though he can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles.
