'''Ganondorf''' ({{ja|ガノンドロフ|Ganondorofu}}, ''Ganondorf'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed alongside {{SSBU|Ryu}} and the rest of the returning roster on June 12th, 2018 during E3 2018. Like in games prior to {{forwiiu}}, he is [[unlockable character|unlockable]], instead of being available from the [[starter character|start]]. Ganondorf is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #23]]. | '''Ganondorf''' ({{ja|ガノンドロフ|Ganondorofu}}, ''Ganondorf'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Ganondorf is ranked dead last on the [[tier list]], at 82nd out of 82, and is the only character in the E- tier. This is a slight drop from his already very low placement in ''Smash 4'', where he was tied with {{SSB4|Zelda}} at 52nd/53rd out of 54, and gives him the dubious distinction of being the only character ranked last for the NTSC and European tier lists of two different games, the other being ''Brawl''. Despite this, it should be noted that his placement does not equate to the same level of unviability as in previous games, as he is overall more viable than in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''. | Ganondorf is ranked dead last on the [[tier list]], at 82nd out of 82, and is the only character in the E- tier.

|dairdesc=A double foot stomp. It discharges [[electric]]ity upon landing. It was the most powerful [[meteor smash]] in the game before the addition of {{SSBU|Byleth}}. If hit with the lower half of his body, it can KO grounded opponents under 115%, and can KO any character starting at around 15% offstage. There is a [[sourspot]] on his shoulder that hits horizontally with less damage, but is still stronger than his forward and back aerial at higher percentages, though not as effective as when hitting with the meteor smash hitbox off-stage. Ganondorf's slowest aerial move at frame 16. It does not start launching grounded opponents upwards until 10%, although Ganondorf can follow this with a jab. | |dairdesc=A double foot stomp.
