Ganondorf

Unknown to Zelda, Carock is not the greatest danger threatening Hyrule, nor is he the only wizard seeking sources of dangerous power. Ganondorf, the king of thieves and practitioner of darkness, has also left his home and traveled to Skyrim. But Ganondorf is also unaware of the princess. Their paths have often run parallel while never yet intersecting.

When Ganondorf learned of a rumor of otherworldly beings in the area, he traveled to Dimhollow Crypt to investigate. Through persuasion and skill, he learned the secrets of an old and terrifying hidden magic, which he now unleashes on his enemies, some of whom have begun to call him the Phantom Ganon. Now, Ganon is trying to open a secret gateway to another realm, a realm where power has corrupted even the sun in the sky. Ganon wishes to bring this power back with him to his own land.

Ganondorf is a Redguard. His eyes are yellow. Although Ganondorf should have green skin, at least the Redguards' reddish brown skin matches the skin of many Gerudo, and I gave Ganon some green war paint to at least highlight his prominent nose. I suppose I could have made him an orc for the sake of the green skin, but I think the look would have been wrong (and besides, I think of the orcs as Moblins (and the Rieklings as Bulblins)). When Ganondorf became a vampire, I renamed him Phantom Ganon. At some point, when his power was well established, he simply became known as Ganon.

In Skyrim, Ganon wears a Jade and Emerald Circlet, reminiscent of the green-and-yellow jewel Ganon wears in most Zelda games. I have not yet found anything like the Wind Waker robes or the Twilight Princess armor. But the Evil MasterMind armor is pretty great looking (and the name is perfect; the mask is pretty amazing too, even if it's not right for this character). Although the default beard options include a chin beard, it is difficult to see the red whiskers against the red-brown skin (I hope to find a good chin beard mod). Here, he carries a Jade Blade from JaySus Swords (the Akavirii Sword works, too). I like to enchant it with fire and ice enchantments and rename the blade Twinrova.
