Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyHuman: From what we see, he appears to be at least humanoid beneath his armor, and his draconic transformations seem to be temporary things rather than his true form. However, he also expresses disgust towards humans and doesn't want to get involved with them. Though it could be he just hates humanity and society, since he lives in isolation, rather than humans as a race.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: When he loses, he often tries to claim TheBattleDidntCount - but he's actually correct when he does so, as his defeat comes from Link and co getting outside help. Which, sure, all's fair in war, but as someone who seeks a WorthyOpponent, it makes sense he'd be disgusted by people not fighting him one-on-one.

Added DiffLines:

* DevilComplex: While past incarnations of Ganondorf have been hinted have this behind [[AGodAmI their talks of godhood]], this incarnation fully embraces the demon in Demon King. On the battlefield, he taunts his enemies that he has outlived many generations of heroes and that his title shouldn't be taken lightly.


Added DiffLines:

* MaouTheDemonKing: His title is "Demon King" rather than Dark Lord or King of Evil this time around. And he lives up to the title by conquering armies of monsters on his own, recruiting several past villains to his cause, and being the greatest threat on a multi-dimensional scale.

* [[SkillGateCharacter Skill Gate Weapon]]: His Trident moveset is much easier to use than his Great Swords moveset, being much faster, having a wide variety of easy combos, and having a fairly quick area of effect move for killing hordes. However, with sufficient knowledge of spacing and dodging, the Great Swords will outclass the Trident in every way, as the Great Swords has a more effective projectile, much larger area moves, and given enough practice, more powerful combos that do more damage than the Trident's do.

Added DiffLines:

* TheChessmaster: Much like in his home game, Zant can be quite the competent tactician when he's lucid.
** During the Twilight Palace stage, he orders his forces to demolish the bridges when the heroes capture the Lower East Keep. Later, while Lana and Midna are busy trying to chase Argorok away, he orders reinforcements to attack the Allied Base and then orders his Commandos to kidnap Agitha to distract them while giving Argorok time to heal and letting his troops retake the eastern keeps.
** During the Valley of Seers level, [[spoiler: when Impa makes multiple copies of herself to distract Ganondorf, he quickly realizes that the best way to find the real Impa would be to attack Lana.]] Even ''Ganondorf'' compliments this strategy.
-->'''Ganondorf:''' That's not a bad idea.
** On Hyrule Field, [[spoiler: he's quick to warn Ganondorf that things will end ''very'' badly for them if the Hyrulean Army manages to get the Great Fairy to help them. [[note]]Justified in that he knows from experience how powerful the Great Fairy is.[[/note]]]]
** And finally, during the Gerudo Desert stage, [[spoiler: He and Ghirahim create [[DoppelgangerAttack copies of themselves]] to fight the heroes and lure them away from their base while they lead from the safety of the Sacred Grounds. Zant even takes advantage of Lana's diminishing stamina from the heat and isolates her from the group.]]

Authority Equals Asskicking is now a disambiguation


* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Despite being an insane usurper, Zant is not afraid to lead by example. This is especially shown in the Palace of Twilight stage. For most of the stage, he [[OrcusOnHisThrone guards the Gate of Souls and leads from the sidelines]]. Once Argorok is defeated, however, he decides to take a direct hand in the field. Ganondorf himself will chide him for this if he requests his help in battle, telling him that as a king in his own right he should be able to handle things himself.
-->'''Zant:''' I'll lead you myself if I have to! Charge! Your king will show you how it's done!

** His Level 1 weapon, the Blue Ring, takes its name from a magical item that appeared in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda the first Zelda]] and in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Ages]]'', where it served as a magical source of armor for Link.
** His Level 2 weapon, the Red Ring, likewise also originally featured in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda the first Zelda]] and in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]''; it was a more powerful armor item in the first game, and doubled Link's attacking power in ''Seasons''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:In the original Wii U version, he vanishes from the plot completely after his defeat at the Temple of the Sacred Sword, strangely absent from Cia's final stand. ''Legends'' and ''Definitive Edition'' reveals that this was because Cia resealed him back into his ring after he tried to defect to Ganondorf.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DirtyCoward: He resorts to underhanded tactics like impersonating Zelda to demoralize the Hyrulean army, manipulating the ghost soldiers while posing as Lana and attempting to get a cheap shot at Link while he's drawing out the Master Sword. When he's usually backed into a corner, he quickly caves and tries to beg for mercy.


Added DiffLines:

* GeneralFailure: Most of his battlefield strategies tend to be just AttackAttackAttack ones which are easily countered by the heroes.
