Welcome back to Ignitus' Wisdom! Today, Spyro and Cynder face off one of the greatest evils they've faced yet. The Great King of Evil himself, Ganondorf. Let's not waste a second, mostly because the evil vibe he's giving off is creeping me out. Let's do this!
Spyro: What on... Ganondorf is in this?!
Ignitus: Indeed, young dragon. Ganon, particularly in this incarnation, is no doubt one of the strongest threats you've ever faced.
Spyro: Wait, this incarnation? Is this some more multiverse nonsense?!
Ignitus: No, this is well older than the timeline split. Ganon is the continual reincarnation of Demise, an ancient evil that threatened Hyrule millennia ago. Upon his defeat at the hands of the original Link and the Goddess Hylia, he trapped them and himself in an eternal cycle of continuous reincarnation. This particular incarnation, Ganondorf, is known to most as the Great King of Evil. Specifically though he's a warlock born to the Gerudo, which are primarily female save for one male born every 100 years.
Spyro: Thank goodness Link and Zelda continually keep getting reincarnated as well.
Ignitus: You know, now that I think about it, this sort of reminds me of you, Cynder, and Malefor.
Spyro: Really?
Ignitus: Think about it. One the eternal hero, one has the power to seal them away given by another entity, and the third is the ultimate evil.
Spyro: Huh. I can kind of see it.
Ignitus: It is interesting how the same themes get repeated across many worlds, in different forms.
Spyro: Makes you realize we aren't so different after all.
Ignitus: Very true.
Spyro: So, philosophizing aside, how do I kick Ganondorf back to reincarnation?
Ignitus: Be wary of getting close. Ganondorf is probably the most aggressive heavyweight here, with Bowser and Ridley probably in second and third. If you see him prepping to attack, get out of the way. But once he attacks, he's open for a counter. So get in quickly.
Spyro: Right. Time to give this guy a real calamity!
