Powerful Sword Swipe Smashes
All of Ganondorf's smash attacks use a sword. They leave him vulnerable, but the moves are very powerful.
Charge Kick with Up Tilt Attack
It's a slow attack, but it can do more damage than a smash attack. Even if defended against, the attack can break all but a perfect shield.
Use Down Tilt Attack to Lift Enemies
A crouching kick that sends opponents flying upward. It has good reach and is one of Ganondorf's faster attacks.
