How to Beat Ganon |

One of Ganon's common attacks is when he spins his staff and throws it in your direction, which blocks projectiles from the front. During this time, his back is exposed, allowing echoes or by switching to Swordfighter Form to deal damage.
Swordfighter Form Upgrade Order
Summon Boomerang Boarblins to attack Ganon from a distance and cover more ground in the area.
These Boarblins also draw Ganon's attention, making them useful as shields against the projectiles he launches later in the fight.
After dealing enough damage, you’ll enter Phase 2 of the fight, where Ganon starts throwing Fireballs. Use your Shield in Swordfighter Form or summon Boulder Echoes to block the projectiles, providing protection while also giving you room to maneuver around Ganon and plan your attacks.
In the third and final phase of the fight, Ganon will now conjure homing Orange Orbs that explode on impact. You can deflect these Orbs back at him using the Sword while in Swordfighter Form.
Be aware that Ganon can also deflect the Orbs back, leading to a rally-like exchange. The Orb's speed increases with each volley, so make sure to bounce it back from a safe distance.

・The Titans' Final Gathering |
Ganon can be rematched in Kakariko Village's Slumber Dojo as part of the The Titans' Final Gathering stage. These challenges are boss rushes, where you'll have to fight bosses back-to-back, so be sure you're well-equipped for the gauntlet.
Ganon is first fought by Link during Echoes of Wisdom's opening. This encounter is relatively simple compared to the later fight and primarily serves as a tutorial to the game.
