Ocarina of Time is a legendary game in pretty much every way, and is topped off by one of the most intense battles of good versus evil to ever be featured in a video game rated E (for everyone).

If ever you should be afraid of a sword-wielding pig man, it's...well it's all the time, really. But you should be especially afraid when that sword-wielding pig man blows up to about 10 times his normal size and morphs into the personification of the devil himself, as was the case when Ganondorf transformed into Ganon.

Although there have been many different versions of Ganondorf - each one masterfully taken down by Link - none have ever seemed as genuinely imposing and terrifying as the towering shadow of wickedness that is Ganon.

Remember the noises he made every time he lurched forward with his gigantic swords? Of course you do. Because it still probably haunts your nightmares.

A million gamers breathed a sigh of relief when the big monster finally fell to his knees, allowing the opportunity to stab him right between the eyes and put a stop to all of the horribleness.
