Ganondorf in general is a man known for his cruelty and ruthlessness who holds a power-hungry desire of conquering Hyrule. Being the reincarnation of Demise'due south hatred, Ganondorf embodies the very characteristics of his evil. Throughout the games, his goal has consistently been wanting to obtain the Triforce and utilize it every bit a means of claiming Hyrule under his dominion. Every bit he holds the Triforce of Power, he is extremely prideful and egotistical, believing himself to be above all others. His desire for power was what led him to being granted just one slice of the Triforce, as his centre does non maintain a balance betwixt courage, wisdom and power.

For the most part, Ganondorf is a tactical mastermind, capable of deceiving and manipulating others into his bidding, as shown when he deceived the King of Hyrule by swearing his loyalty to him in Ocarina of Time and manipulating Zant into seizing command of Hyrule so that he may escape from the Twilight Realm and take over the kingdom.

When Ganon is resurrected in Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons, he has go a mindless monster filled with rage and his only desire being is destroy.

In the Adult Timeline, Ganondorf appears to have become somewhat more than humble and philosophical later on having time to reflect upon his actions towards Hyrule. Though he has managed to conquer Hyrule, he realizes his actions have brought its very destruction, so he intends to use to Triforce to restore the kingdom to its former glory.
