He is seen wielding it in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets|Ancient Stone Tablets]]'', the [[Oracle Series]], and {{FSA}}. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Trident is held in the Pyramid level, and has an inscription nearby. The inscription would mean that the trident is the exact opposite of the [[Master Sword]]. The Master sword being the ultimate light weapon while the trident is the ultimate dark weapon.<ref name=inscription>{{cite|We grant you power to ruin the world. The power of darkness. Evil spirit of magic trident. You are the King of Darkness.|Inscription|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> Ganon uses this trident to fire a flurry of bolts, when hit, Link is tranported to the Dark World. Secondly when Ganon throws it, the trident leaves a trail of blue fire in its path. Upon his revival in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'' or ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons| Oracle of Seasons]]'', Ganon will be wielding his trident once again, using it to attack in vicious swipes. He also uses this trident to summon energy balls, not unlike characters such as [[Phantom Ganon]]. However, these attacks cannot be deflected. =={{ALTTP}}== [[File:ALttP Ganon.gif|right|Ganon with the '''Trident''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'']] Ganon's Trident makes its first appearance in ''A Link to the Past,'' where he uses it in the first stage of his boss battle. He will spin it and toss it at [[Link]] while sending fire bats after him. After a certain point, Ganon will abandon this tactic and use his his secret technique of Darkness in lieu of the Trident.<ref>{{cite|You are doing well, lad. But can you break through this secret technique of Darkness? En garde!|Ganon|A Link to the Past}}</ref> ==''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]] Games''== [[File:Ganont_1.gif|left|Ganon with the Trident in [[BS The Legend of Zelda]].]] In the ''BS Zelda'' game, Ganon fights similarly to how he fought in the original {{LOZ}}, by turning invisible and shooting fireballs. As such, the Trident is merely cosmetic and not actually used in combat. In ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: The Ancient Stone Tablets]]'', he uses it just as he does in ''A Link to the Past.'' {{clear}} =={{OOS}} and {{OOA}}== [[File:OoX_Ganon.gif|right|Ganon with the '''Trident''' in the ''[[Oracle Series|Oracle games']]'' [[Password-Linked|Linked]] ending.]] When Ganon is revived in the ''Oracle'' games' [[Password-Linked]] ending, he uses the Trident to battle Link. He either attacks with a vicious direct swipe or a flurry of energy balls. Most of these attacks can be dodged using the [[Roc's Feather]] or [[Roc's Cape]]. =={{FSA}}== [[File:Ganon fsa.png|150px|left|Ganon with the Trident in {{FSA}}.]] The backstory of the Trident is expounded upon in ''Four Swords Adventures.'' Ganondorf found the Trident when he broke Gerudo law and entered the [[Pyramid]] across the [[Desert of Doubt]].<ref>{{cite|Curse that Ganondorf! He broke our laws and left for the pyramid...I don't know what he plans, but I am worried...|Gerudo|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> Inside, he found the Trident underneath an inscription that promised its wielder the power to become the King of Darkness.<ref name=inscription/> Ganon uses this Trident during the final battle, where his attacks include throwing the Trident with a trail of blue fire, and shooting a flurry of lightning bolts that send the [[Links]] into the [[Dark World]]. Ganon believes that his Trident will grant him the power to destroy the Links, threatening to skewer them on it.<ref>{{cite|Gwah haa haaaa! Weaklings! Incompetent fools! You so-called heroes do not stand even a gnat's chance of harming me! Even if you worms attack in a group, I will skewer the lot of you on my mighty trident!!|Ganon|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> [[Princess Zelda]] recognizes the Trident and refers to Ganon as the "ancient demon reborn" because he wields it.<ref name=Demon>{{cite|King of Darkness, ancient demon reborn. The wielder of the trident!!|Princess Zelda|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> A [[Knight of Hyrule]] mentions that Ganon used the Trident to defeat the Knights and send them into the Dark World.<ref>{{cite|Hear now the doom of the knights. We were bested by a foe with a mighty weapon. He cast us into the Dark World, where we and the jewels were lost in shadow.|Red Knight|Four Swords Adventures}}</ref> {{clear}} ==Trivia== * Although the Trident did not appear in {{LOZ}}, official art from the time of {{ALTTP}} shows Ganon wielding it when he fought Link in that game. * [[Phantom Ganon]] in {{OOT}} fights using a similar weapon. Whether it has any connection to Ganon's Trident is unknown. * When [[Midna]] attacks with the [[Fused Shadow]], she wields a similar pronged weapon. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:LoZ Ganon Trident.jpg|Image from the {{ALTTP}} Player's Guide of Ganon with the Trident during {{LOZ}}.
