'''Ganondorf''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was buffed significantly in ''Project M'' after being mostly reverted to his ''Melee'' version. However, some ''Brawl'' attributes were maintained, and part of his moveset was changed to make him more well-rounded. | '''Ganondorf''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

Given the nerfs Ganondorf received in ''Brawl'' that made him plummet to the very bottom of the tier list, he is significantly buffed in ''Project M''. Most of his favorable traits from ''Melee'' return, along with ''Brawl''{{'}}s tilt attacks and [[Flame Choke]], restoring his recovery, speed, combo and K.O.ing ability. Some of his more powerful moves have been given less ending lag or greater reach and many late weak hitboxes and sourspots were removed. His situational moves have been replaced with weaker but much more practical moves: his new up tilt comes out much faster, and his new neutral special Dead Man's Volley & Drift is a reflector that doubles as a floating maneuver. To compensate for the loss of [[Warlock Punch]], Ganondorf's down taunt now serves as an attack that functions similarly to it. Finally, several of Ganondorf's animations have been overhauled, which combined with the addition of Dead Man's Volley makes him a slightly more accurate representation of his appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. | Given the nerfs Ganondorf received in ''Brawl'' that made him plummet to the very bottom of the tier list, he is significantly buffed in ''Project M''.

In ''[[Project+]]'', Ganondorf received even more alternate costumes that further represent ''Zelda'' lore. | In ''[[Project+]]'', Ganondorf received even more alternate costumes that further represent ''Zelda'' lore. Ganondorf's brown costume from ''Brawl'' has been replaced with a new royal gold color to be more distinct from his ''Ocarina of Time'' alternate costume. Said costume is more detailed with higher quality improvements, better matching the source material; additionally, it receives a variant with a tan cape to match his appearance both ''Melee'' and the Spaceworld 2000 demo. Finally, Ganondorf has a costume based on Pig [[Ganon]] from the Fallen Hero timeline, a potential storyline in the franchise where Link fails to defeat Ganon in ''Ocarina of Time'' and the latter reigns indefinitely in his monstrous form. Pig Ganon's taunts use a trident instead of a sword, as seen in ''A Link to the Past.'' This costume includes recolors which are loosely inspired by other incarnations of Ganon, such as the ones seen in ''Twilight Princess'', ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Four Swords Adventures'', and Yuga-Ganon in ''A Link Between Worlds''. | ||
