Ganondorf made his first playable appearance as an unlockable character in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" (where he is based on his appearance in the Nintendo Space World demo, wielding the large, cleaver-like sword in one of his victory poses, though he does not actually use it in combat until "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate"), and reappears in all subsequent installments in the "Super Smash Bros." series: "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS" and "Wii U" (both using his "Twilight Princess" design) and "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate".
