Puppet Ganon (クグツガノン, Kugutsu Ganon) is a giant puppet controlled by Ganon in The Wind Waker. The first form of the monster is similar in appearance to Beast Ganon in most of the 2D games, giant and boar-like.


Spoiler warning: If you have not completed the relevant game(s), then the following details could spoil your experience.


He is defeated by cutting his strings with the boomerang and striking the blue orb on his tail with Light Arrows. Puppet Ganon will then transform into a spider, the spider will go up in the air preparing to slam down on you. Go into the water so you can see the spiders reflection, you will see that he is spinning. When he stops spinning that means that he is coming down. You can't dodge it completely, you have to go in the spaces between his eight legs, preferably the back two. If you dodge it, run around to the back of the spider and shoot the glass ball with your Light Arrow. Do this a couple more times and he will turn into a Moldorm-like form. The snake will go all over the place going faster and faster. Link can try to slash the snake in the face to make him stop temporarily. However, that is way too risky, your best chance at beating the snake is by keeping your back to the wall and trying to take out the ball on the Moldorm's tail. After defeating Puppet Ganon, you will gain access to the real Ganon.
