In the games, the character alternates between two forms: "Ganon" a massive, demonic boar-like creature and "Ganondorf", a tall, heavily built member of the Gerudo, a race of humanoid desert nomads. Ganon is the archenemy of the series' main protagonists, Link and Princess Zelda, and the leader of the Gerudo. His specific motives vary from game to game, but most often involve capturing Princess Zelda and planning to conquer Hyrule and the world at large. To this end, he seeks the Triforce, an omnipotent artifact that grants any wish its bearer desires, and usually manipulates several other villains to realize his ambitions.
