- Wisp imitating Ganon

Ganon is a cranky pig villager who first appeared in the in. He originates from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, where he is the recurring main antagonist of many games. His birthday is the same day the original The Legend of Zelda first released in Japan.

Ganon can only move to the player's town if either the Ganondorf (Super Smash Bros.), Link (The Legend of Zelda), Guardian (Breath of the Wild), or Bokoblin (Breath of the Wild) amiibo is scanned and he is invited to move in from the campground. He cannot be asked to move in from another player's town or campground.

Appearance
Ganon is a blue pig with glowing, pupil-less yellow eyes. He wears a small, spiked red cap on his head. Out of Ganon's appearances in The Legend of Zelda series, in Animal Crossing he most strongly resembles his designs in the original The Legend of Zelda, the Oracle series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. His initial outfit is the Ganon Outfit, which is based on his armor from these five games.

Personality
Ganon is a cranky villager, meaning he is mature, bitter and adult-like. He appears somewhat rude at first, but is very reliable and friendlier when befriended. He gets along well with most snooty villagers and other cranky neighbors, but will sometimes offend jock and peppy villagers unintentionally, as he does not clearly understand their lifestyle. Ganon has a harsh sense of humor, but is very hospitable and kinder once the player enters his home.

In
In, Ganon's skill of "javelin throwing" is a reference to the trident that he wields in many of the games in The Legend of Zelda series. His goal as "master of the world" refers to his major motivation as the antagonist in those games, in which he desires to take control over Hyrule.
