Ganon first appears in "The Legend of Zelda," in which he raids Hyrule with his army, attacking the kingdom and stealing the Triforce of Power. He makes no major appearance in the sequel "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link." He later appeared in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game "A Link to the Past," trapped in a place called the Dark World—formerly called the Hidden Realm before Ganon was exiled in it. The game introduced a backstory for Ganon as a human thief turned demon and focused on his attempt to escape from the Dark World and conquer Hyrule.
