Kinda funny, that despite the loss, Ganondorf is showcased far better in his fight with Dracula than the one with Bowser. Which is a shame, because Bowser deserved a good fight, and what we got... wasn’t great. I’d like to see Peach vs Zelda revisited at some point, because both characters can bring new & interesting things to the table. As for Ganondorf vs Dracula, it’s definitely in my higher echelon of favorite episodes. It may have its flaws here & there, but the overall episode is very solid and showcases both characters well.
At least thanks to an interview on Screwattack's old forums they admitted they got it wrong. Apparently there was some info they overlooked about Zelda which would've turned the match in Zelda's favor. That's one thing i can at least give Death Battle credit in some cases: when they screw up they at least are willing to admit it.
Another funny thing: Bowsers One Minute Melee matches portrayed him better than in his actual death battle. In those, he is actually portrayed as a powerful killing machine.
His two most requested matchups are Lord Hater and Doctor Eggman(My most wanted matchup in all of Death Battle). Also, I want Bowser to get a voice actor so I've can see some amazing lines from him.
@@turbobist2889 I see potential for cool lines as Bowser emerges in his Giant Form. "You may be a Lord, Hater, but Lords bow before their King. NOW TAKE A KNEE!" "You may have come close to making this planet your kingdom, Egghead, but I forged GALAXIES into an empire!"
A part of Ganondorf vs Dracula I really like that you didn’t mention is The Dark Lords (the track). It sounds absolutely fantastic, and something extremely cool is that it generally shifts in tone based on which combatant is in control-when Dracula has the upper hand it sounds more flighty and tricky, whereas when Ganondorf is winning it gets more booming and straightforward. Love it.
@@chaosprogrammer2219 He has an impenetrable forcefield that not even psychic powers and bacteria can pass through. Plus it survived a blast that was meant to destroy Earth on a sub-atomic/molecular level.
Ganondorf VS Dracula still remains my personal favorite. Edit: Oh, and THANK YOU for saying that Ocarina Ganondorf is the best incarnation! Glad I wasn’t the only person to think that.
@@MatthewDiLeva you didn't know that? The only 2 that changes throughout the series is Zelda and link whereas Ganon remains the same besides in 4 swords adventures and possibly botw 2
"I'm no simple vampire. I am A GOD!!!" "You're right. You're not a man. You're a pig. Let me here you squeal." Say what you want about the analysis and the fight. They absolutely killed it with those 2 quotes.
A small thing I love about Ganondorf vs Dracula is that Ganondorf is playing the role of Link for most of the fight. He’s invading a castle to get rid of a dark threat. That’s perfectly encapsulated in the shot where monster Dracula towers over Ganondorf with the sword. It’s a nice juxtaposition for Ganondorf.
Out of all these Dracula vs ganon is my favorite its even cool how they use the smash models to and Dracula line at the end is probably the most terrifying thing I heard "Your right Your not a man your a pig let me hear you squeal"
Peach VS Zelda: 3 or 4/10 I find some bits in the fight mildly entertaining and the vibe scepter reaction is pretty good, but the poor treatment towards both characters is hard to watch and nothing stands out as noteworthy. Some season 1 episodes are still enjoyable to this day, but this isn't one of them. Bowser VS Ganon: 5/10 Never hated this as much as most people do, the pre-analysis is fine and I enjoy half of the fight. However, the half I don't like is slow and boring, the post-analysis is weird, and it has a rushed feeling towards it. It's just one of those episodes that I have a hard time remembering it even exists, and I just shrug when I am reminded of it. Ganondorf VS Dracula: 10/10 I see where you're coming from with the jank and weird dialogue at the beginning of the battle, but everything else is so good that I can't be bothered by it. I love the expressions, the voice performances, the pacing, the atmosphere, the soundtrack, and how impactful every single action is. The death is fantastic, the pre-analysis is really good, and the post-analysis is well put together. The worst thing I can say is that there wasn't enough of the fight; but not in a rushed or unsatisfying way, rather it was so good that I wanted more.
Ok ganondorf vs dracula is a great episode it isn't a 10/10. In my opinion I love this episode and it deserves a low 9/10 or a high 8/10 but there could have been more ganon vs giant bat form dracula fighting and if there was it would be a 10/10. There isn't any negatives but there could have been slightly better. Also might be an unpopular opinion but the music for the fight is really really good especially when dracula is about to nuke ganon. Its Not on the level of vocal tracks like thunder shroud or infection perfection or wings of iron but it is one of the few best non vocal tracks and is almost as good as chorus of carnage which In my opinion is the best non vocal track in death battle.
@@TheExiled112 You're not wrong, I am admittedly a tad biased in favor of Ganondorf VS Dracula given the pitch perfect circumstances only matched by one other episode. I can see there's enough holding it down from a 10/10 objectively.
Yeah I agree, It sounded weird to hear bowser not surviving "super" lava while surviving the sun??????????????. Also never mention Bowser's Dry Bowser Form.
i think one cool thing about ganondorf vs dracula is that the models are from the same game, smash ultimate, so they're probably the best matching 3d models that death battle has ever had, since they were literally made to look good next to each other
As amazing as the fight looked, I still can't get over the fact that the analysis for Ganondorf vs. Dracula missed some key analysis points that turn the result on its head. First of all, they claimed that Ganondorf's only holy weapon (and "only" means of harming Dracula) was his Twilight Princess Executioner's Sword. That's a huge problem to me, given one particular oversight: The Triforce of Power itself IS a holy weapon, an artifact left by one of Hyrule's three golden goddesses. Given that's one of his main sources of magical strength and he's been stated multiple times to be equally versed in Triforce lore if not more so than Zelda, it's aggravating to see no hint of this being mentioned. Even if one were to argue that he's never used any light/holy-based magic he could draw from the Triforce, there's no reason why he couldn't (especially since he'd be smart enough not to bother using light magic against light-based heroes like Link and Zelda in the first place). Every time Ganon's gotten the Triforce of Power and it reunites with the other two pieces (see Wind Waker and Link between Worlds), it reunites without needing to be "purified" after being handled by a dark being like Ganondorf. Meaning, he never corrupted its holy nature, only drawing from its power to amplify his own. Also, Ganondorf has a good deal of other experience handling and possibly resisting light/holy-based attacks. In Twilight Princess, he physically possessed Zelda, the princess with the blood of the goddess Hylia (a surely toxic environment for a dark magic-based Ganondorf) and wielded her body and light magic as his own in the first stage of that boss fight. Speaking of that boss fight, the final blow at the very end only succeeds in killing Ganondorf as a SECOND attack to a previously inflicted light-based injury. The same happens in Wind Waker: Ganondorf only succumbs to the final head stab after receiving a strikingly similar one at the end of Ocarina of Time. To drive the point home, all of these sword strikes and the Light Arrows commonly used against him are all PIERCING attacks; they need to break the skin in order to inject their "poisonous" magic. Dracula's best shown holy spell would burn like some kind of hell, but it wouldn't prove nearly as lethal as one would think (especially since Ganondorf/Ganon powered through plenty of light-based sealing spells and a direct light magic blast from Zelda at the end of Ocarina of Time). While we're on the subject of attacks and attack potency, the Chaos Realm vs. Triforce of Power comparison is pretty much a moot point: what does it matter how much power is at their disposal when what's important is how much they can channel into any given attack? A similar point was made for Beerus vs. Sailor Galaxia: Galaxia had an infinite pool of magic power, but Beerus was still said to have a higher strength yield. In this case, the Chaos Realm might have been calculated as being the larger magic reserve, but how much of it could Dracula channel against Ganondorf while Ganondorf channels the Triforce of Power and his own dark magic reserves? I'll continue to argue this until I see clear evidence otherwise: the King of the Gerudo Thieves was robbed.
This battle was the last straw for me because of my knowledge of both franchises, I happen to be a massive fan of both. Ganondorf was completely robbed in this fight, and DB literally lied about the scaling and capabilities of ganondorf in order to give a win to Dracula who didn’t deserve it. I’ve been in tons of comment sections and debates debunking that entire episode piece by piece.
I’d also like to add that while the Triforce has been broken and split apart in the series, it’s never really been explained in what exact way. For all we know, someone wished on the Triforce to split itself. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I gathered in the brief research I did.
@@arden191 this is true, pieces have only ever been broken apart or into pieces when either wished for, or if the golden trio themselves break them as seen in WW. There’s NEVER been a situation where one breaks on its own or “runs out of power” like death battle made happen which was completely ridiculous.
@@Darkwing709 Right and I remember reading where I think it might've been Aonuma stated that the Triforce was in some parts, omnipotent. But in all fairness I'm reaching on that one, so feel free to correct me. So by that logic, Ganon himself might've been overpowered by Dracula, but he wouldn't be able to overpower the Triforce of Power, according to at least the Zelda Fandom Wiki, gains 'true power', which is wielded by Ganon. Not to mention all the other mystical abilities the Triforce piece grants him. Apologies if it's worded weirdly, this was written while making sure I wasn't looking like a total idiot. XD
@@arden191 the creators did say that it was omnipotent, but the actual in universe lore also states that the golden goddesses are omnipotent. Most scalers tend to not use titles like omnipotent when measuring beings so feats are usually taken instead, and in that case it’s known that the goddesses created the Zelda multiverse including several parallel verses and the sacred realm, and they exist omnipresent in all of them transcending space time. They also created space and abstract concepts like time, which easily puts them at multiversal levels and 5-6D level deities and WAAAAY above “planet level” like death battle low balled their power to. They were completely aware of this but chose planet level because ganondorf has the triforce of power which grants him the power of Din according to lore, and they reject the idea of a universal to multiversal ganondorf...which I find funny cause one of his feats was literally destroying the sacred realm and rebuilding it in his image, and he also gave zant a fraction of his power which allowed him to swallow the universe into the twilight realm. Dracula could NEVER over power ganondorf in any way shape or form, nor could he cause an omnipotent source of power to run out and break.
For me: Princess Zelda Vs. Princess Peach - 2/10 - You could tell this was done early in Death Battle were they clearly didn't care for either character. This to me is the biggest F**k it animation I've ever seen them do. Bowsir Vs. Ganondorf - 6/10 - One of the best OK-ish episodes of Death Battle. The character's were well written in a way that doesn't flanderize them, the fight was pretty decent and the analysis was done well. The only nitpick I have is that they totally could've used 4 Swords Ganon as his final form that could really done the battle well as the two fight in a Kaiju-esq fight, destroying the castle in the process. Ganondorf Vs. Dracula - 10/10 - One of the best Death Battles ever. The animation, the analysis and the fight were all top notch. This is what Death Battle should be studying for how they want to do things in the future. This is a fight that really sold me on wanting to get into Castlevania.
@@DIEFORME173 I was talking about the quality of that episode overall. I may like Zelda more than Peach but even I know she wouldn't stand much of a chance. I just wished that they would do a remastered version of this fight.
The biggest issue I have with Ganon v. Dracula is the holy element problem that was presented. They claim Demonic Megiddo was holy magic. Two *specific versions* of it performed by characters that AREN'T Dracula are listed as "holy flames," but that's it. Drac's own version is called "chaotic magic," not holy, and it makes no sense that a being that is harmed by holy energy, embodying everything that holy is not, uses a holy spell called DEMONIC anything. I hate this cross-comparison shit via naming conventions, rather than actual objective analysis of the attacks and their users.
@@Gatekid3 okay so only in the NES games was Zelda useless. Wait, no, in the first game she still split the Tri-Force of Wisdom into pieces to keep it out of Ganon's hand and in Adventure of Link it's a different Zelda that was asleep for a millennium. Okay so only in Adventure of Link was Zelda ever genuinely useless and even then, in her defense, she was under a sleeping curse.
@@gameuniverse5973 To be fair with that, Tetra was far more useful in Wind Waker than Phantom Hourglass and Link was equally useless in rescuing her so while she did get turned to stone at the start, Link also didn't end up much better. Honestly there are more useful Zeldas than useless and Peach has probably fought alongside Mario more often than not and even when she's captured, she tends to be able to send items to Mario.
The Peach vs Zelda fight is still their worst fight today, poorly researched and does a disservice to both characters. Zelda in Smash doesn't make much sense when people like to factor in continuity, to which how characters toolkits are represented in Smash work differently than how they do in their own universes. By this logic Zelda's specials should've used Smash logic, the same applies to Sheik who until Hyrule Warriors would have Smash canon applied. However since games like Cadence of Hyrule and Warriors have incoorperated the spells as a part of Zelda's moveset nowadays its more fitting for the character. When it comes to Peach they didn't even use things like her Psyche Bombs or anything. The Mega Strike also isn't a combat move, its specifically designed for Strikers Charged. If so why don't other Mario characters use theirs? This can be redone into a much better fight. Considering after that fight both characters got more toolkits to work with.
Honestly both Peach and Zelda deserve a second chance but I really don't want Zelda to return because they'll just composite her again and I can't think of many combat oriented versions of Zelda so it'd be hard to find one to fight Peach. While its also incorrect to composite every Link together, I can at least see why people would do that but each Zelda is very clearly different and there have even been two Zeldas at the same time (same with two Links in Twilight Princess) so they really should only pick one version but Death Battle won't and it'd just be every Zelda smashed into one with Smash and Hyrule Warrior abilities added in because they can't be bothered to find one specific, tough version.
@@Surgemaster2012 Yeah, though only the Age of Calamity one could be considered canon so it'd be Breath of the Wild Zelda vs Peach if we got a rematch. Well, it'd still be composite Zelda because Death Battle is lazy.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins I don't really see how composite is that big of a deal as long as it works for the character. Which in Zelda's case it does, I mean she was forced to use Smash moves so I think canon goes out the window. Also considering how inconsistent Mario can be, in terms of what is canon or what isn't is also tricky. Especially considering Peach.
Really one of the only things I sort of noticed about Dracula vs Ganondorf was right towards the end with the shot of Ganon's hand and him looking down to it. On my first watch and seeing other people watching the episode, a lot of the time people thought that Ganondorf was about to have this sort of last wind type moment with how it was shot.
The bowser vs ganondorf fight... they say in the analysis that the triforce of power goes to the one who best represents that aspect Then they later say bowser is more powerful. Some could try argue there's more to being worthy than raw strength, but bowser literally topples over anything ganon could reasonably do on his own, and anything else he does is probably more worthy of wisdom. Even Bowser's will is stronger. If the fight was realistic we'd of gotten a scene of the triforce leaving Ganon's wrist in a bloody shower, before implanting itself into bowser, which would then cause his eye to heal, and a now human ganondorf to be flicked into the lava where he perishes as bowser laughs, sitting back in the lava like a hot tub. Honestly I really wish I found this video when it was uploaded for just a chance for you to see this.
13:59 In Bowser VS Ganon, Ganondorf used his Warlock Punch from Smash Bros. Melee which is a slower and stronger copy of Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch, which is not a back-handed punch.
why is it that whenever there is a zelda fight where the zelda character loses they bring up head Canon and non Canon facts about the characters while downplaying and ignoring the opponents abilities to make it seen like they should have won like every time
Peach Vs Zelda- 4/10 Honestly outside of the Death I don't remember any part of this fight except the Vibe Septor Ganondorf vs Bowers- I genuinely Forgot this came Out. . .2/10 Ganondorf vs Dracula- One of my Unirronicly most Baised fights because this was the First Episode for one of the sfm Animators DevilArtemis a UA-camr for at that point I had already watching his content for years so to hear he was animating in this got me really excited. 9.5/10 is Probably in my Top 10 Although DA also helped with Obi Wan vs Kakashi so these two clash depending on the day.
Peach vs Zelda- Highlights include the Vibe sector joke, the sheep, the slap contest, and falling down part, and the finisher. Can't really remember much from those parts, kinda of a boring episode for me. 5/10 Bowser vs Ganon- the Tennis scene and Jojo reference are my favorite parts of this episode, as well as discovering the word "No Limits Fallacy" afterwards. If that last part was any indication, this has to be my personal most hated Death Battle, my blood boils the more whenever it decides to pop in my head, no other Death Battle has gotten me pisses off more whenever I think about them, on top of the analysis being boring for me atleast. 1/10 Ganondorf vs. Dracula- Going from my most hated to one of my most favorite, aside from being a little confused with his transformation into Dracula, I enjoyed the analysis for both characters. And the animation is just *Chef's Kiss* . I get the janky parts of the animation that you've mentioned up, but I never notice it, maybe in time. Should they have used more of their abilities and powers? Sure, but what they've used was good enough for me. And the conclusion was good as well if nothing special. 9/1- Wait KIRYU!?!?! 10/10
Ganondorf vs Dracula is 1/10, 2.5/10 at best since it's 1. Outdated 2. Missing information 3. Has too many misconceptions 4. They put an average Ganondorf vs the strongest Dracula which is unfair 5. They didn't even get the results right. And I'll tell you why. Exhibit A: Dracula has too many weaknesses such as 1. Sunlight is either fatal or it takes away his powers 2. Impalation by anything is fatal 3. Vampires are fataly allergic to silver, crosses, holy water, and garlic. 4. Any magic can kill Dracula heck even his own dark magic killed him at one point. 5. He can't go near running water 6. Can't enter someone's house without being invited. And this isn't even covering potential exploitations that Ganon can use Exhibit B: for most of his attacks he has to hold still when charging them which leaves him vulnerable and his teleporting is extremely predictable as you can tell by the beam of light. Exhibit C: Dracula's physical stats are straight up inferior since 1. Ganondorf is canonically taller and as a result has more mass and weight so he has more brute strength 2. Ganondorf has taken blows that would insta-kill Dracula every single time and either shrugged them off or just plain survived. 3. Ganondorf when it comes to actual power rather than the battery has a bigger radius since in canon Dracula's best feat is a curse that would bring about the victim's dark side and spread it across a country meanwhile Ganondorf did a time freeze and endless storm curse at half capacity at the same time and still had quite a lot of strength left over and that wasn't even his best feat. 4. At best Dracula has fought Trevor, Grant, Sypha, and Alucard at the same time but lost and that's the max amount of capable fighters Dracula has fought meanwhile Ganon has fought up to 14 very capable fighters each one capable of army decimation by himself and would have won to if Terrako didn't blow himself up at point blank range ( and even then that only took down his shield) and that was just a Phantom Ganon. 5. Dracula's life and death cycle has lasted a thousand years but he spent a majority of those years either dead or slacking off not actually sharpening his skills, meanwhile Ganon was a hardened warrior at birth. And a mere Phantom Ganon overall lived over 10,100 years and counting. 6. Ganon when it comes to actual speed and reaction time is leagues faster such as being able to react at the speed of lightning and dodge arrows point blank. 7. Ganondorf is a smarter fighter since he'll change his fighting style on a dime to adjust to how his opponent fights meanwhile Dracula uses the same strategy almost constantly which is a huge vulnerability. Exhibit D: Dracula's battery can be cut off in fact that's how he was permanently killed in 1999. And in order to do that you need to seal Dracula's Castle away in another dimension or in an eclipse or at least put Dracula in another dimension away from his castle and Ganondorf is for sure capable of doing the latter and given how his strength as a Phantom Ganon is stronger than a dragon who can split a mountain in half and Ganon corrupted a castle in just a few seconds he could also put Dracula's Castle in another dimension which would cut off Dracula's connection to the Chaos Realm which makes him unable to come back to life after death and ensures his power can only decrease. Exhibit E: one of Ganondorf's most terrifying abilities is possession and assimilation the former allows him to take control over a person's body ( Ganondorf possesses Zelda in Twilight Princess) and the latter allows him to absorb someone's body and soul and gain their power ( example: Ganon assimilates Astor in Age of Calamity to create a brand new body for himself) and since Ganondorf is not weak minded he can block any of Dracula's attempts to do the same. Exhibit F: Ganondorf at his full potential involves him having the full triforce and once he has that he can do anything with just a thought he doesn't even need to say anything if he doesn't want to, Dracula doesn't have any artifact on that scale. In fact the only redeeming quality about the Ganondorf vs Dracula battle is good graphics. Edit: now Ganondorf is capable of ripping large chunks of land off the ground and they're high in the sky.
@@chadpeterson5698 that's not really the case for any Death Battle, unless it's an obvious stomp for the person who lost. This one could have reasonably gone either way.
@@pesciisthebestcharacter5100 If both Ganondorf and Dracula were only on half capacity yes then it would be an even fight that could go either way. If both of them are at full power Ganon bodies Dracula since all he really has to do is think of the concept of Dracula not existing and it's over since Ganon at his full strength has the full triforce.
One problem I have with Bowser Vs Ganon is that there's no dialogue. I mean, you have Bowser, who has potential for fun banter, and just make him mute. Hopefully, Bowser will be able to speak if he returns to Death Battle.
Looking back on Bowser vs Ganondorf I can say I agree with the results, but I do have several problems with the research. How exactly is Ganon invulnerable to normal weapons when it has been shown in other Zelda games (pre-BOTW) that he can be harmed by things other than the Master Sword? As much as I liked the episode’s fight and basic analysis of both characters saying that Bowser lost due to a no limits fallacy is a copout IMO. I'm not against the match-up at first glance but it feels like Bowser would've been better off fighting Ridley from Metroid or King Dedede from Kirby. My overall verdict for this fight is the same as yours.
The Battle between Bowser and Ganon wasn't even a fight, it was an execution, both get revived by magic multiple times, In Bowser's case be it one of his family members, one of his loyal servants or a Space Goddess and a few Star Creatures which save everyone INCLUDING HIM from a Supernova and a Black Hole, and heck, the One Up Mushrooms are even a thing That's used to revive the dead ones in the Mushroom Kingdom Ganon gets revived in similar ways but he can only be killed with Godlevel Weapons and/or Godlevel Magic which Bowser just doesn't possesses The fight between Ganon and Dracula was more fair because both were pretty much equal, both were bleeding, both were injured, both were on a Level of Godhood at some point and both had good chances on killing each other if they did it the right way, death battle team even said that victories for Ganondorf were possible, if he Didnt rely on his strength only and actually made use of the other Weaknesses of Dracula like impaling his heart, using Silver against him, wait for the Sunlight or throwing holy water at him. I mean if the Sword of the Six Sages couldn't even finish Ganondorf, why should it finish Dracula? Ganon shouldnt just rely on swords if he also can use his Trident
Bowser deserves another matchup. Bowser Vs Ganon lacked banter even though Bowser could make some amazing banter. Lord Hater is a great option, but I prefer Eggman due to me being a Mario and Sonic fan and due to it having some potential for great animation and godlike banter.
@@firenze6478 it takes a universal multiversal level belmont teaming up with magic users and universal+ Alucard to mess with Dracula. That's all u need to know. Dracula would body link worse than what cloud did despite link being composite with all his gear which he never had in any canon.
What really hurt about Bowser vs Ganondorf for me was months earlier One Minute Melee pitted Bowser against Eggman, in an attempt to continue the storyline of Super Mario Bros Z after Alvin Earthworm announced it's cancelation. And that fight was AWESOME! Showcasing the speed and strength of Bowser as well as his badassness. Playing around with the Koopa shell was lit. So to see this much slower and less respectful iteration of Bowser was extremely disappointing. I think I may have stopped watching Death Battle altogether But then they announced Ratchet and Clank vs Jak and Daxter at the end, my most wanted matchup by far. So of course I stayed.
Terribly sorry for the late replay Was my favourite episode of Death Battle back when I was obsessed with it because it represented both franchises (near and dear to me) very well. Nowadays it's second behind Iron Man vs Lex Luthor. The biggest problem I have is the sound design once 1812 Overture starts playing. The sound effects of the gun firing and melee swinging are way too overpowered by the song and voice grunts, literally the same issue Hulk vs Broly suffered from, and that's a shame because the sound effects were some of the highlights of both series. I also didn't like Daxter's voice all that much. The lines fit the character but it's very hard to voice a character inherently designed to be a miniature jock and not be annoying. But the weapons Ratchet and Jak uses are great, the analysis and conclusion was done well imo, and I especially love the banter between everyone. Also the death was the best cool off of the show. Probably and 8.5/10 objectively. I love it, I just wish sound design was better.
My personal opinions on these Death Battles: Peach vs Zelda: 3/10 I find it very boring and ugly even by season 1 standards. The analysis and explanation is completely wrong. I recommend checking out MetalBlade5's video on it. And while there are a few good moments, every else either boring or bad. Bowser vs Ganon: 4/10 I still don't remember this episode very well, and even after a refresher, I don't like it. It has good moments like the funny as hell tennis scene, but like Zelda vs Peach, everything else is either boring or bad. The only reason it gets one more point than Zelda vs Peach is that tennis scene. Hey, it's hilarious. Don't judge. Ganondorf vs Dracula: 9/10 Great analysis. Good explanation. Fantastic fight. I can see where you're coming from on the jank moments, but those moments pale compared to everything else.
The whole mega strike thing for peach was really stupid. Especially since it opens the can of worms that almost every Mario character that's been on the show can do it yet they've never brought it up again for any of them.
Tbh...bowser was heavily downplayed. He deserved so much better! Would absolutely love to see bowser return in death battle! And ridley! I'm surprised ridley hasn't been in death battle!
7:02 it isn't "super lava" in this Mario you are fighting Bowser after he fall to lava for the first time later this did him almost nothing with mean he is getting stronger ang gaining immunity.
I mean, there is a point to Ganon that DB barely glanced over. If a Ganondorf died in a certain timeline, he would just come back in another one, meaning he really is unkillable. Now I'm not saying that doesn't mean he can't be defeated since he obviously can, but that's kind of a huge deal and not one you should just slightly brush off
Destroying his soul (which Dracula can do) would be a way to destroy him permanently because there would be nothing to reincarnate. Whether Demise's Curse makes a new incarnation of hatred, a new Ganondorf, or it's finally broken is irrelevant because the Ganondorf who debuted in Ocarina of Time would be gone for good.
He wouldn't return in another timeline if he was killed, another Ganon would just show up like what happened in the child timeline where after Ganon was killed in Twilight Princess, a new one showed up in Four Swords Adventure. The only reason Ganon exists in each of the three timelines is because he was never killed in Ocarina of Time. In the Downfall Timeline he won and thus was never killed or sealed, in the Child Timeline, the Hero of Time warned Zelda of his plan and he was set to be executed until the Goddesses for some reason gave him the Triforce of Power, saving him where he was instead sealed in the Twilight Realm and in the Adult Timeline he was sealed away, coming back later to wreak havoc on an unprotected Hyrule because the Spirit of the Hero no longer existed so a new Link never showed up. He is eventually killed in the Downfall Timeline in Link to the Past and every apparence in that timeline is an attempt to bring him back which fails. He dies in Twilight Princess with a new Ganon showing up in Four Swords Adventure and he is killed in Wind Waker where so far he hasn't returned in that timeline (unless Breath of the Wild is a part of it). He's never traveled to a separate timeline, its just that he never dies in either of the three timelines Ocarina of Time creates so he exists in the later games that take place there.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins pretty sure the official lore states it is the same person, just reincarnated in different bodies with the memories of the past Ganon
@@blyat8832 Not really, the only time Ganon has been reincarnated was after he died in Twilight Princess, with this reincarnation showing up in Four Swords Adventure. In the other two timelines, the Downfall and Adult Timeline, he never gets reincarnated. In the Downfall Timeline, he is killed, revived but the process is botched so he returns as a mindless beast for the remainder of the timeline and in the Adult Timeline he is killed and so far never gets revived or reincarnated. I also don't recall seeing anything from Four Swords Ganon that shows he remembers his past life.
Peach vs Zelda review: One of my favorite Death Battles. Yes, it is flawed but for a season 1 Death Battle it’s amazing. The animation was great and fight choreography was good. For those saying Peach won because of a non canon move, you need to remember that Mario has no canon and that Peach survived a universal black hole. The result WAS accurate. 9/10 Ganondorf vs Bowser review: This is by FAR my least favorite Death Battle! It has no redeeming point, the fight was bad, that analysis wasn’t funny or interesting and it heavily relied on NLF. Bowser can survive a UNIVERSAL black hole in Super Mario Galaxy and Ganon hasn’t shown any continental feat. Bowser could also resist the death spell with the safety ring. (It doesn’t matter anyway the death spell never existed, it was a parasite.) Bowser took over the universe two times when Ganon never even took over a planet. Bowser is stronger, faster and thougher this was ridiculous. 0/10 (A total waste of my time) Ganondorf vs Dracula review: I thought this death battle was going to be garbage but it wasn’t. The animation was amazing probably my favorite 3D fight, they didn’t let NFL chose the winner and their arguments for Dracula winning were accurate. 10/10
I know you guys will disagree strongly with me on this, but am I the only person that has Peach vs Zelda at my 10 out of 10. The main reason why I loved this episode was because 1. I love Princess Peach 2. I don't care about Princess Zelda all that much 3. The animation was at least very impressive better than some other season 1 episodes. 4. I thought the finishing blow was pretty darn cool. And before you guys say anything about analysis especially any of you saying (3/10, 4/10, 2/10 because of boring analysis and terrible explaining), let me remind you of something. I don't care about research, I don't care about analysis, I don't care if they use everything, I don't care about plot, and I don't care how the fight is played. The only thing that I care about is the animation, that's it. But the other thing I also only care about is depending on what characters are being used. Look guys I know a lot you hate Zelda vs Peach, but it's one of my favorite episodes, I love seeing Peach win, and I always wanted to see Peach fight in more vs battles. But there is another Princess Peach battle I can recommend and that's Peach vs Elsa on Scouthedog1's channel. It does have more stuff in it the animation than Peach vs Zelda. However if Peach vs Zelda does get a rematch, maybe it can get a little better. I'm sorry that I'm sounding bias, but I'm just more glad Peach won. Mario fights that aren't against Sonic characters to the death, and seeing them win will mostly get me a 10 out of 10. (Yes including Yoshi vs Riptor, not just for Yoshi winning but the episode made me laugh super hard). Bowser vs Ganondorf was decent imo. Tho I wanted Bowser to win, the fight wasn't too bad imo. Ganondorf vs Dracula was also really good. Just please don't get upset with me on Peach vs Zelda.
Peach vs. Zelda was at the time the single worst episode they put out for numerous reasons, but as of recently they have tried to pull less things out of their ass to make characters win, so they may revisit it one day and give it a proper fight instead of "Peach can create matter with her legs lmao"
Kinda funny, that despite the loss, Ganondorf is showcased far better in his fight with Dracula than the one with Bowser. Which is a shame, because Bowser deserved a good fight, and what we got... wasn’t great.
I’d like to see Peach vs Zelda revisited at some point, because both characters can bring new & interesting things to the table. As for Ganondorf vs Dracula, it’s definitely in my higher echelon of favorite episodes. It may have its flaws here & there, but the overall episode is very solid and showcases both characters well.
Just shows how much better they've gotten at making Death Battle.
At least thanks to an interview on Screwattack's old forums they admitted they got it wrong. Apparently there was some info they overlooked about Zelda which would've turned the match in Zelda's favor. That's one thing i can at least give Death Battle credit in some cases: when they screw up they at least are willing to admit it.
Another funny thing: Bowsers One Minute Melee matches portrayed him better than in his actual death battle. In those, he is actually portrayed as a powerful killing machine.
@@e1iteyoshi998 Zelda would get destroyed by Peach easily.
@@e1iteyoshi998 Zelda definitely should have won that fight.
Not gonna lie, the shot of Dracula's monster form towering over Ganondorf with the Sage Sword is one of the best shots in the entire series.
I never noticed Mechagodzilla in the back there, that is bloody cool
"Ganon can only be killed by Booster Gold!"
Was not expecting that lmao
Makes sense since Booster Gold can time travel and prevent Demise from even existing.
thats right boomstick

It’s a random compliment but your transition bits always get me man. “Ganon could only be killed by Booster Gold” is honestly just genius
This video really made me realize
Bowser deserved way better. Give the big guy another fight, he deserves it.
His two most requested matchups are Lord Hater and Doctor Eggman(My most wanted matchup in all of Death Battle). Also, I want Bowser to get a voice actor so I've can see some amazing lines from him.
@@turbobist2889 I see potential for cool lines as Bowser emerges in his Giant Form.
"You may be a Lord, Hater, but Lords bow before their King. NOW TAKE A KNEE!"
"You may have come close to making this planet your kingdom, Egghead, but I forged GALAXIES into an empire!"
His fight with Ganondorf was garbage and it was disrespectful towards both characters.
@@wiiu-theunderratedconsole7569 Agreed. Glad to see that Gannon got the justice he deserved
@@MinecraftWorld1954I really don't like eggman he should have a rematch with wily
A part of Ganondorf vs Dracula I really like that you didn’t mention is The Dark Lords (the track). It sounds absolutely fantastic, and something extremely cool is that it generally shifts in tone based on which combatant is in control-when Dracula has the upper hand it sounds more flighty and tricky, whereas when Ganondorf is winning it gets more booming and straightforward. Love it.
Two Nemesis uploads in a row let’s go! Also yes Booster Gold can kill Ganon… but can a peach defeat him?

@@motherhorse6695 Solar System Little Mac because he can keep up with Sephiroth

A small thing I love about Ganondorf vs Dracula is that Ganondorf is playing the role of Link for most of the fight. He’s invading a castle to get rid of a dark threat. That’s perfectly encapsulated in the shot where monster Dracula towers over Ganondorf with the sword. It’s a nice juxtaposition for Ganondorf.
Out of all these Dracula vs ganon is my favorite its even cool how they use the smash models to and Dracula line at the end is probably the most terrifying thing I heard
"Your right Your not a man your a pig let me hear you squeal"
Peach VS Zelda: 3 or 4/10
I find some bits in the fight mildly entertaining and the vibe scepter reaction is pretty good, but the poor treatment towards both characters is hard to watch and nothing stands out as noteworthy. Some season 1 episodes are still enjoyable to this day, but this isn't one of them.
Bowser VS Ganon: 5/10
Never hated this as much as most people do, the pre-analysis is fine and I enjoy half of the fight. However, the half I don't like is slow and boring, the post-analysis is weird, and it has a rushed feeling towards it. It's just one of those episodes that I have a hard time remembering it even exists, and I just shrug when I am reminded of it.
Ganondorf VS Dracula: 10/10
I see where you're coming from with the jank and weird dialogue at the beginning of the battle, but everything else is so good that I can't be bothered by it. I love the expressions, the voice performances, the pacing, the atmosphere, the soundtrack, and how impactful every single action is. The death is fantastic, the pre-analysis is really good, and the post-analysis is well put together. The worst thing I can say is that there wasn't enough of the fight; but not in a rushed or unsatisfying way, rather it was so good that I wanted more.
Ok ganondorf vs dracula is a great episode it isn't a 10/10. In my opinion I love this episode and it deserves a low 9/10 or a high 8/10 but there could have been more ganon vs giant bat form dracula fighting and if there was it would be a 10/10. There isn't any negatives but there could have been slightly better. Also might be an unpopular opinion but the music for the fight is really really good especially when dracula is about to nuke ganon. Its Not on the level of vocal tracks like thunder shroud or infection perfection or wings of iron but it is one of the few best non vocal tracks and is almost as good as chorus of carnage which In my opinion is the best non vocal track in death battle.
@@TheExiled112 You're not wrong, I am admittedly a tad biased in favor of Ganondorf VS Dracula given the pitch perfect circumstances only matched by one other episode. I can see there's enough holding it down from a 10/10 objectively.
Yeah I agree, It sounded weird to hear bowser not surviving "super" lava while surviving the sun??????????????. Also never mention Bowser's Dry Bowser Form.
not only that, I always thought, they downplayed Bowser for some reason.
i think one cool thing about ganondorf vs dracula is that the models are from the same game, smash ultimate, so they're probably the best matching 3d models that death battle has ever had, since they were literally made to look good next to each other
Let’s go more Nemesis videos good video as always
Props to DevilArtemis and and Daitomodachi for their first Death Battle animation for Ganon vs Dracula
As amazing as the fight looked, I still can't get over the fact that the analysis for Ganondorf vs. Dracula missed some key analysis points that turn the result on its head.
First of all, they claimed that Ganondorf's only holy weapon (and "only" means of harming Dracula) was his Twilight Princess Executioner's Sword. That's a huge problem to me, given one particular oversight: The Triforce of Power itself IS a holy weapon, an artifact left by one of Hyrule's three golden goddesses. Given that's one of his main sources of magical strength and he's been stated multiple times to be equally versed in Triforce lore if not more so than Zelda, it's aggravating to see no hint of this being mentioned.
Even if one were to argue that he's never used any light/holy-based magic he could draw from the Triforce, there's no reason why he couldn't (especially since he'd be smart enough not to bother using light magic against light-based heroes like Link and Zelda in the first place). Every time Ganon's gotten the Triforce of Power and it reunites with the other two pieces (see Wind Waker and Link between Worlds), it reunites without needing to be "purified" after being handled by a dark being like Ganondorf. Meaning, he never corrupted its holy nature, only drawing from its power to amplify his own.
Also, Ganondorf has a good deal of other experience handling and possibly resisting light/holy-based attacks. In Twilight Princess, he physically possessed Zelda, the princess with the blood of the goddess Hylia (a surely toxic environment for a dark magic-based Ganondorf) and wielded her body and light magic as his own in the first stage of that boss fight. Speaking of that boss fight, the final blow at the very end only succeeds in killing Ganondorf as a SECOND attack to a previously inflicted light-based injury. The same happens in Wind Waker: Ganondorf only succumbs to the final head stab after receiving a strikingly similar one at the end of Ocarina of Time. To drive the point home, all of these sword strikes and the Light Arrows commonly used against him are all PIERCING attacks; they need to break the skin in order to inject their "poisonous" magic. Dracula's best shown holy spell would burn like some kind of hell, but it wouldn't prove nearly as lethal as one would think (especially since Ganondorf/Ganon powered through plenty of light-based sealing spells and a direct light magic blast from Zelda at the end of Ocarina of Time).
While we're on the subject of attacks and attack potency, the Chaos Realm vs. Triforce of Power comparison is pretty much a moot point: what does it matter how much power is at their disposal when what's important is how much they can channel into any given attack? A similar point was made for Beerus vs. Sailor Galaxia: Galaxia had an infinite pool of magic power, but Beerus was still said to have a higher strength yield. In this case, the Chaos Realm might have been calculated as being the larger magic reserve, but how much of it could Dracula channel against Ganondorf while Ganondorf channels the Triforce of Power and his own dark magic reserves?
I'll continue to argue this until I see clear evidence otherwise: the King of the Gerudo Thieves was robbed.
This battle was the last straw for me because of my knowledge of both franchises, I happen to be a massive fan of both. Ganondorf was completely robbed in this fight, and DB literally lied about the scaling and capabilities of ganondorf in order to give a win to Dracula who didn’t deserve it. I’ve been in tons of comment sections and debates debunking that entire episode piece by piece.
I’d also like to add that while the Triforce has been broken and split apart in the series, it’s never really been explained in what exact way. For all we know, someone wished on the Triforce to split itself. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I gathered in the brief research I did.
@@arden191 this is true, pieces have only ever been broken apart or into pieces when either wished for, or if the golden trio themselves break them as seen in WW. There’s NEVER been a situation where one breaks on its own or “runs out of power” like death battle made happen which was completely ridiculous.
@@Darkwing709 Right and I remember reading where I think it might've been Aonuma stated that the Triforce was in some parts, omnipotent. But in all fairness I'm reaching on that one, so feel free to correct me. So by that logic, Ganon himself might've been overpowered by Dracula, but he wouldn't be able to overpower the Triforce of Power, according to at least the Zelda Fandom Wiki, gains 'true power', which is wielded by Ganon. Not to mention all the other mystical abilities the Triforce piece grants him. Apologies if it's worded weirdly, this was written while making sure I wasn't looking like a total idiot. XD
@@arden191 the creators did say that it was omnipotent, but the actual in universe lore also states that the golden goddesses are omnipotent. Most scalers tend to not use titles like omnipotent when measuring beings so feats are usually taken instead, and in that case it’s known that the goddesses created the Zelda multiverse including several parallel verses and the sacred realm, and they exist omnipresent in all of them transcending space time. They also created space and abstract concepts like time, which easily puts them at multiversal levels and 5-6D level deities and WAAAAY above “planet level” like death battle low balled their power to.
They were completely aware of this but chose planet level because ganondorf has the triforce of power which grants him the power of Din according to lore, and they reject the idea of a universal to multiversal ganondorf...which I find funny cause one of his feats was literally destroying the sacred realm and rebuilding it in his image, and he also gave zant a fraction of his power which allowed him to swallow the universe into the twilight realm. Dracula could NEVER over power ganondorf in any way shape or form, nor could he cause an omnipotent source of power to run out and break.
Ngl I never noticed that Kiryu cameo until you pointed it out, it got ne laughing
For me:
Princess Zelda Vs. Princess Peach - 2/10 - You could tell this was done early in Death Battle were they clearly didn't care for either character. This to me is the biggest F**k it animation I've ever seen them do.
Bowsir Vs. Ganondorf - 6/10 - One of the best OK-ish episodes of Death Battle. The character's were well written in a way that doesn't flanderize them, the fight was pretty decent and the analysis was done well. The only nitpick I have is that they totally could've used 4 Swords Ganon as his final form that could really done the battle well as the two fight in a Kaiju-esq fight, destroying the castle in the process.
Ganondorf Vs. Dracula - 10/10 - One of the best Death Battles ever. The animation, the analysis and the fight were all top notch. This is what Death Battle should be studying for how they want to do things in the future. This is a fight that really sold me on wanting to get into Castlevania.

@@CryoJakobFrost oh ok
@@ELI-521 and yes she does scale to Mario
The biggest issue I have with Ganon v. Dracula is the holy element problem that was presented. They claim Demonic Megiddo was holy magic. Two *specific versions* of it performed by characters that AREN'T Dracula are listed as "holy flames," but that's it. Drac's own version is called "chaotic magic," not holy, and it makes no sense that a being that is harmed by holy energy, embodying everything that holy is not, uses a holy spell called DEMONIC anything.
I hate this cross-comparison shit via naming conventions, rather than actual objective analysis of the attacks and their users.
Zelda? Useless? I'm pretty sure the NES games and Skyward Sword are the only ones where she doesn't help Link fight the villain in some way.
Even then. In ss she's going on her own quest. She doesn't fight, but she does her own thing
@@Gatekid3 okay so only in the NES games was Zelda useless. Wait, no, in the first game she still split the Tri-Force of Wisdom into pieces to keep it out of Ganon's hand and in Adventure of Link it's a different Zelda that was asleep for a millennium.
Okay so only in Adventure of Link was Zelda ever genuinely useless and even then, in her defense, she was under a sleeping curse.
@@floatingf8783 What about phantom hourglass she frozen in stone for most of the game
What about in spirit tracks where she possesses near unkillable phantoms and tanks lasers from malladus like they’re nothing?
@@gameuniverse5973 To be fair with that, Tetra was far more useful in Wind Waker than Phantom Hourglass and Link was equally useless in rescuing her so while she did get turned to stone at the start, Link also didn't end up much better. Honestly there are more useful Zeldas than useless and Peach has probably fought alongside Mario more often than not and even when she's captured, she tends to be able to send items to Mario.
I get why the line doesn’t work that well, but Dracula’s final line is pure savagery.
Early review. Lit.
The Peach vs Zelda fight is still their worst fight today, poorly researched and does a disservice to both characters. Zelda in Smash doesn't make much sense when people like to factor in continuity, to which how characters toolkits are represented in Smash work differently than how they do in their own universes. By this logic Zelda's specials should've used Smash logic, the same applies to Sheik who until Hyrule Warriors would have Smash canon applied.
However since games like Cadence of Hyrule and Warriors have incoorperated the spells as a part of Zelda's moveset nowadays its more fitting for the character.
When it comes to Peach they didn't even use things like her Psyche Bombs or anything. The Mega Strike also isn't a combat move, its specifically designed for Strikers Charged. If so why don't other Mario characters use theirs?
This can be redone into a much better fight. Considering after that fight both characters got more toolkits to work with.
True. Smash have different logic separate from their own series. Every mario character except the sidekicks in mario strikers can do a superstrike.
Honestly both Peach and Zelda deserve a second chance but I really don't want Zelda to return because they'll just composite her again and I can't think of many combat oriented versions of Zelda so it'd be hard to find one to fight Peach. While its also incorrect to composite every Link together, I can at least see why people would do that but each Zelda is very clearly different and there have even been two Zeldas at the same time (same with two Links in Twilight Princess) so they really should only pick one version but Death Battle won't and it'd just be every Zelda smashed into one with Smash and Hyrule Warrior abilities added in because they can't be bothered to find one specific, tough version.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins Hyrule Warriors. Cadence of Hyrule and Age of Calamity are Zelda in combat scenarios.
@@Surgemaster2012 Yeah, though only the Age of Calamity one could be considered canon so it'd be Breath of the Wild Zelda vs Peach if we got a rematch. Well, it'd still be composite Zelda because Death Battle is lazy.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins I don't really see how composite is that big of a deal as long as it works for the character. Which in Zelda's case it does, I mean she was forced to use Smash moves so I think canon goes out the window. Also considering how inconsistent Mario can be, in terms of what is canon or what isn't is also tricky. Especially considering Peach.
Really one of the only things I sort of noticed about Dracula vs Ganondorf was right towards the end with the shot of Ganon's hand and him looking down to it. On my first watch and seeing other people watching the episode, a lot of the time people thought that Ganondorf was about to have this sort of last wind type moment with how it was shot.
The bowser vs ganondorf fight... they say in the analysis that the triforce of power goes to the one who best represents that aspect
Then they later say bowser is more powerful.
Some could try argue there's more to being worthy than raw strength, but bowser literally topples over anything ganon could reasonably do on his own, and anything else he does is probably more worthy of wisdom. Even Bowser's will is stronger.
If the fight was realistic we'd of gotten a scene of the triforce leaving Ganon's wrist in a bloody shower, before implanting itself into bowser, which would then cause his eye to heal, and a now human ganondorf to be flicked into the lava where he perishes as bowser laughs, sitting back in the lava like a hot tub.
Honestly I really wish I found this video when it was uploaded for just a chance for you to see this.
13:59 In Bowser VS Ganon, Ganondorf used his Warlock Punch from Smash Bros. Melee which is a slower and stronger copy of Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch, which is not a back-handed punch.
why is it that whenever there is a zelda fight where the zelda character loses they bring up head Canon and non Canon facts about the characters while downplaying and ignoring the opponents abilities to make it seen like they should have won like every time
Bowser Vs. Ganon is NOT a good episode, buuut………Olympus Mons is such a great freaking track! At least the wordless one…

Bowser vs Ganon- the Tennis scene and Jojo reference are my favorite parts of this episode, as well as discovering the word "No Limits Fallacy" afterwards. If that last part was any indication, this has to be my personal most hated Death Battle, my blood boils the more whenever it decides to pop in my head, no other Death Battle has gotten me pisses off more whenever I think about them, on top of the analysis being boring for me atleast.
1/10
Ganondorf vs. Dracula- Going from my most hated to one of my most favorite, aside from being a little confused with his transformation into Dracula, I enjoyed the analysis for both characters. And the animation is just *Chef's Kiss* . I get the janky parts of the animation that you've mentioned up, but I never notice it, maybe in time. Should they have used more of their abilities and powers? Sure, but what they've used was good enough for me. And the conclusion was good as well if nothing special.

I'm glad you covered bowser v gannondorf
17:42 referencing mechagodzilla
i feel like while bowser vs ganon was a bit of a nessisary evil. at least in getting the communtiy to review and talk about the no limits falisy.
Fun fact! Ganon doesn't even have the power of decay!
Ganondorf vs Dracula is 1/10, 2.5/10 at best since it's
1. Outdated
2. Missing information
3. Has too many misconceptions
4. They put an average Ganondorf vs the strongest Dracula which is unfair
5. They didn't even get the results right. And I'll tell you why.
Exhibit A: Dracula has too many weaknesses such as
1. Sunlight is either fatal or it takes away his powers
2. Impalation by anything is fatal
3. Vampires are fataly allergic to silver, crosses, holy water, and garlic.
4. Any magic can kill Dracula heck even his own dark magic killed him at one point.
5. He can't go near running water
6. Can't enter someone's house without being invited.
And this isn't even covering potential exploitations that Ganon can use
Exhibit B: for most of his attacks he has to hold still when charging them which leaves him vulnerable and his teleporting is extremely predictable as you can tell by the beam of light.
Exhibit C: Dracula's physical stats are straight up inferior since
1. Ganondorf is canonically taller and as a result has more mass and weight so he has more brute strength
2. Ganondorf has taken blows that would insta-kill Dracula every single time and either shrugged them off or just plain survived.
3. Ganondorf when it comes to actual power rather than the battery has a bigger radius since in canon Dracula's best feat is a curse that would bring about the victim's dark side and spread it across a country meanwhile Ganondorf did a time freeze and endless storm curse at half capacity at the same time and still had quite a lot of strength left over and that wasn't even his best feat.
4. At best Dracula has fought Trevor, Grant, Sypha, and Alucard at the same time but lost and that's the max amount of capable fighters Dracula has fought meanwhile Ganon has fought up to 14 very capable fighters each one capable of army decimation by himself and would have won to if Terrako didn't blow himself up at point blank range ( and even then that only took down his shield) and that was just a Phantom Ganon.
5. Dracula's life and death cycle has lasted a thousand years but he spent a majority of those years either dead or slacking off not actually sharpening his skills, meanwhile Ganon was a hardened warrior at birth. And a mere Phantom Ganon overall lived over 10,100 years and counting.
6. Ganon when it comes to actual speed and reaction time is leagues faster such as being able to react at the speed of lightning and dodge arrows point blank.
7. Ganondorf is a smarter fighter since he'll change his fighting style on a dime to adjust to how his opponent fights meanwhile Dracula uses the same strategy almost constantly which is a huge vulnerability.
Exhibit D: Dracula's battery can be cut off in fact that's how he was permanently killed in 1999. And in order to do that you need to seal Dracula's Castle away in another dimension or in an eclipse or at least put Dracula in another dimension away from his castle and Ganondorf is for sure capable of doing the latter and given how his strength as a Phantom Ganon is stronger than a dragon who can split a mountain in half and Ganon corrupted a castle in just a few seconds he could also put Dracula's Castle in another dimension which would cut off Dracula's connection to the Chaos Realm which makes him unable to come back to life after death and ensures his power can only decrease.
Exhibit E: one of Ganondorf's most terrifying abilities is possession and assimilation the former allows him to take control over a person's body ( Ganondorf possesses Zelda in Twilight Princess) and the latter allows him to absorb someone's body and soul and gain their power ( example: Ganon assimilates Astor in Age of Calamity to create a brand new body for himself) and since Ganondorf is not weak minded he can block any of Dracula's attempts to do the same.
Exhibit F: Ganondorf at his full potential involves him having the full triforce and once he has that he can do anything with just a thought he doesn't even need to say anything if he doesn't want to, Dracula doesn't have any artifact on that scale.
In fact the only redeeming quality about the Ganondorf vs Dracula battle is good graphics.
Edit: now Ganondorf is capable of ripping large chunks of land off the ground and they're high in the sky.
This needs to be higher up
Ok, but is the fight good? Is that not the most important part?
@@pesciisthebestcharacter5100 not quite since the result is what makes or breaks a fight like this one.
@@chadpeterson5698 that's not really the case for any Death Battle, unless it's an obvious stomp for the person who lost. This one could have reasonably gone either way.
@@pesciisthebestcharacter5100
If both Ganondorf and Dracula were only on half capacity yes then it would be an even fight that could go either way. If both of them are at full power Ganon bodies Dracula since all he really has to do is think of the concept of Dracula not existing and it's over since Ganon at his full strength has the full triforce.
One problem I have with Bowser Vs Ganon is that there's no dialogue. I mean, you have Bowser, who has potential for fun banter, and just make him mute. Hopefully, Bowser will be able to speak if he returns to Death Battle.
Ganindorf seams to be nerfed in this one
Kinda disappointing that Bowser VS Gannondorf turned out terrible because it’s the only Bowser matchup I like.
The animation was actually made by Devilartemis
8:26 both got use the same amount of abilities in the fight though
Hey nemesis, from the last recent video, do you actually watch meta runner? If you did, how did you like it?
Looking back on Bowser vs Ganondorf I can say I agree with the results, but I do have several problems with the research. How exactly is Ganon invulnerable to normal weapons when it has been shown in other Zelda games (pre-BOTW) that he can be harmed by things other than the Master Sword? As much as I liked the episode’s fight and basic analysis of both characters saying that Bowser lost due to a no limits fallacy is a copout IMO. I'm not against the match-up at first glance but it feels like Bowser would've been better off fighting Ridley from Metroid or King Dedede from Kirby. My overall verdict for this fight is the same as yours.
I don’t agree with the result because Bowser can survive a universe ending black hole.
The Battle between Bowser and Ganon wasn't even a fight, it was an execution, both get revived by magic multiple times, In Bowser's case be it one of his family members, one of his loyal servants or a Space Goddess and a few Star Creatures which save everyone INCLUDING HIM from a Supernova and a Black Hole, and heck, the One Up Mushrooms are even a thing That's used to revive the dead ones in the Mushroom Kingdom
Ganon gets revived in similar ways but he can only be killed with Godlevel Weapons and/or Godlevel Magic which Bowser just doesn't possesses
The fight between Ganon and Dracula was more fair because both were pretty much equal, both were bleeding, both were injured, both were on a Level of Godhood at some point and both had good chances on killing each other if they did it the right way, death battle team even said that victories for Ganondorf were possible, if he Didnt rely on his strength only and actually made use of the other Weaknesses of Dracula like impaling his heart, using Silver against him, wait for the Sunlight or throwing holy water at him.
I mean if the Sword of the Six Sages couldn't even finish Ganondorf, why should it finish Dracula?
Ganon shouldnt just rely on swords if he also can use his Trident
1:32 I haven't finished the video yet, but F-ING THANK YOU.
16:54 demise (no pun intended eh 😂)
I also like the ganondorf vs Dracula theme. The opening is awesome and the rest is great too
Bowser deserves another matchup. Bowser Vs Ganon lacked banter even though Bowser could make some amazing banter. Lord Hater is a great option, but I prefer Eggman due to me being a Mario and Sonic fan and due to it having some potential for great animation and godlike banter.
Here is my take on them:
Peach vs Zelda: 3/10.
Bowser vs Ganondorf: 3/10.
Ganondorf vs Dracula: 10/10.
Dracula would spank link and Ganon at the same time
I mean is there anything that puts any Belmont above link?
@@firenze6478 it takes a universal multiversal level belmont teaming up with magic users and universal+ Alucard to mess with Dracula. That's all u need to know.
Dracula would body link worse than what cloud did despite link being composite with all his gear which he never had in any canon.
@@melvingenao550 I’ve played most castlevanias and I’ve never seen Belmont go above city level much less multiversal
@@firenze6478 it's cause your scaling is terrible.
@@melvingenao550 well I’m going by in game feats but I guess just calling someone terrible is far more credible.
i swear i just heard you say Gandalf instead of ganondorf
What really hurt about Bowser vs Ganondorf for me was months earlier One Minute Melee pitted Bowser against Eggman, in an attempt to continue the storyline of Super Mario Bros Z after Alvin Earthworm announced it's cancelation. And that fight was AWESOME! Showcasing the speed and strength of Bowser as well as his badassness. Playing around with the Koopa shell was lit. So to see this much slower and less respectful iteration of Bowser was extremely disappointing. I think I may have stopped watching Death Battle altogether
But then they announced Ratchet and Clank vs Jak and Daxter at the end, my most wanted matchup by far. So of course I stayed.
Did you like that episode that you wanted?
Terribly sorry for the late replay
Was my favourite episode of Death Battle back when I was obsessed with it because it represented both franchises (near and dear to me) very well. Nowadays it's second behind Iron Man vs Lex Luthor. The biggest problem I have is the sound design once 1812 Overture starts playing. The sound effects of the gun firing and melee swinging are way too overpowered by the song and voice grunts, literally the same issue Hulk vs Broly suffered from, and that's a shame because the sound effects were some of the highlights of both series. I also didn't like Daxter's voice all that much. The lines fit the character but it's very hard to voice a character inherently designed to be a miniature jock and not be annoying. But the weapons Ratchet and Jak uses are great, the analysis and conclusion was done well imo, and I especially love the banter between everyone. Also the death was the best cool off of the show. Probably and 8.5/10 objectively. I love it, I just wish sound design was better.
My personal opinions on these Death Battles:
Peach vs Zelda: 3/10
I find it very boring and ugly even by season 1 standards. The analysis and explanation is completely wrong. I recommend checking out MetalBlade5's video on it. And while there are a few good moments, every else either boring or bad.
Bowser vs Ganon: 4/10
I still don't remember this episode very well, and even after a refresher, I don't like it. It has good moments like the funny as hell tennis scene, but like Zelda vs Peach, everything else is either boring or bad. The only reason it gets one more point than Zelda vs Peach is that tennis scene. Hey, it's hilarious. Don't judge.
Ganondorf vs Dracula: 9/10
Great analysis. Good explanation. Fantastic fight. I can see where you're coming from on the jank moments, but those moments pale compared to everything else.
The whole mega strike thing for peach was really stupid. Especially since it opens the can of worms that almost every Mario character that's been on the show can do it yet they've never brought it up again for any of them.
0:55 April can fight though
Ganon could only be defeated by Booster Gold.
CDI Ganon vs Haha Johnathan you are...
I was annoyed by Zelda vs Peach
Fr Zelda should've won low diff but they needed the hell outta her and her abilities
Zelda is too weak for Peach. The outcome is accurate.
I can't believe kyru is there
So, I know this video isn’t a not death battle episode, but I have one request.. Evil Otto(Berzerk) Pac-Man(Pac-Man)
Can you tell where you got the vocal version of Blood on Broken Glass?
Actually that's the vocal version of Olympus Mons. Just youtube the title and Brandon Yates and you'll find it easily.
Just on time from school i told u i watch u like a tv show
Tbh...bowser was heavily downplayed. He deserved so much better! Would absolutely love to see bowser return in death battle! And ridley! I'm surprised ridley hasn't been in death battle!
7:02 it isn't "super lava" in this Mario you are fighting Bowser after he fall to lava for the first time later this did him almost nothing with mean he is getting stronger ang gaining immunity.
Can u do every naruto death battle when dara vs aizen is anounced
I mean, there is a point to Ganon that DB barely glanced over. If a Ganondorf died in a certain timeline, he would just come back in another one, meaning he really is unkillable. Now I'm not saying that doesn't mean he can't be defeated since he obviously can, but that's kind of a huge deal and not one you should just slightly brush off
Destroying his soul (which Dracula can do) would be a way to destroy him permanently because there would be nothing to reincarnate. Whether Demise's Curse makes a new incarnation of hatred, a new Ganondorf, or it's finally broken is irrelevant because the Ganondorf who debuted in Ocarina of Time would be gone for good.
He wouldn't return in another timeline if he was killed, another Ganon would just show up like what happened in the child timeline where after Ganon was killed in Twilight Princess, a new one showed up in Four Swords Adventure. The only reason Ganon exists in each of the three timelines is because he was never killed in Ocarina of Time. In the Downfall Timeline he won and thus was never killed or sealed, in the Child Timeline, the Hero of Time warned Zelda of his plan and he was set to be executed until the Goddesses for some reason gave him the Triforce of Power, saving him where he was instead sealed in the Twilight Realm and in the Adult Timeline he was sealed away, coming back later to wreak havoc on an unprotected Hyrule because the Spirit of the Hero no longer existed so a new Link never showed up. He is eventually killed in the Downfall Timeline in Link to the Past and every apparence in that timeline is an attempt to bring him back which fails. He dies in Twilight Princess with a new Ganon showing up in Four Swords Adventure and he is killed in Wind Waker where so far he hasn't returned in that timeline (unless Breath of the Wild is a part of it). He's never traveled to a separate timeline, its just that he never dies in either of the three timelines Ocarina of Time creates so he exists in the later games that take place there.
@@MysteriousTomJenkins pretty sure the official lore states it is the same person, just reincarnated in different bodies with the memories of the past Ganon
@@blyat8832 Not really, the only time Ganon has been reincarnated was after he died in Twilight Princess, with this reincarnation showing up in Four Swords Adventure. In the other two timelines, the Downfall and Adult Timeline, he never gets reincarnated. In the Downfall Timeline, he is killed, revived but the process is botched so he returns as a mindless beast for the remainder of the timeline and in the Adult Timeline he is killed and so far never gets revived or reincarnated. I also don't recall seeing anything from Four Swords Ganon that shows he remembers his past life.
The fight I want the most is
Rian Johnson
Vs
Neil Druckmann
Rian Johnson stomps. He can change the force to make it rewrite reality.
Peach vs Zelda review:
One of my favorite Death Battles. Yes, it is flawed but for a season 1 Death Battle it’s amazing. The animation was great and fight choreography was good. For those saying Peach won because of a non canon move, you need to remember that Mario has no canon and that Peach survived a universal black hole. The result WAS accurate. 9/10
Ganondorf vs Bowser review:
This is by FAR my least favorite Death Battle! It has no redeeming point, the fight was bad, that analysis wasn’t funny or interesting and it heavily relied on NLF. Bowser can survive a UNIVERSAL black hole in Super Mario Galaxy and Ganon hasn’t shown any continental feat. Bowser could also resist the death spell with the safety ring. (It doesn’t matter anyway the death spell never existed, it was a parasite.) Bowser took over the universe two times when Ganon never even took over a planet. Bowser is stronger, faster and thougher this was ridiculous. 0/10 (A total waste of my time)
Ganondorf vs Dracula review:
I thought this death battle was going to be garbage but it wasn’t. The animation was amazing probably my favorite 3D fight, they didn’t let NFL chose the winner and their arguments for Dracula winning were accurate. 10/10
Um of course they used Ocarina Ganon, they used Ocarina Ganondorf. Wouldn’t make sense if he suddenly became twilight or calamity ganon
Yeah but I think he's comparing it to the bad Ganon sprite in his first episode.
I REALLY want Bowser to return and get his redemption.
Maybe against King K. Rool
They're both kinda from the same universe though.
There's Eggman and Lord Hater as his most popular matchups.
@@pesciisthebestcharacter5100yeah but still, its a whole different franchise
They got the lore for Dracula wrong in their analysis.
I've never played Legend of Zelda, don't understand the hype around it still like hearing about it though
Now a days Bowser would be ganon
While i absolutely agree that dracula vs ganondorf is the best animated I'm not sure i agree with all they say about it.
Bowser should have beaten Ganondorf.
You sound like a slightly deeper, slower version of CinemaSins
Neat
I know you guys will disagree strongly with me on this, but am I the only person that has Peach vs Zelda at my 10 out of 10.
The main reason why I loved this episode was because
1. I love Princess Peach
2. I don't care about Princess Zelda all that much
3. The animation was at least very impressive better than some other season 1 episodes.
4. I thought the finishing blow was pretty darn cool.
And before you guys say anything about analysis especially any of you saying (3/10, 4/10, 2/10 because of boring analysis and terrible explaining), let me remind you of something. I don't care about research, I don't care about analysis, I don't care if they use everything, I don't care about plot, and I don't care how the fight is played. The only thing that I care about is the animation, that's it. But the other thing I also only care about is depending on what characters are being used.
Look guys I know a lot you hate Zelda vs Peach, but it's one of my favorite episodes, I love seeing Peach win, and I always wanted to see Peach fight in more vs battles. But there is another Princess Peach battle I can recommend and that's Peach vs Elsa on Scouthedog1's channel. It does have more stuff in it the animation than Peach vs Zelda. However if Peach vs Zelda does get a rematch, maybe it can get a little better. I'm sorry that I'm sounding bias, but I'm just more glad Peach won. Mario fights that aren't against Sonic characters to the death, and seeing them win will mostly get me a 10 out of 10. (Yes including Yoshi vs Riptor, not just for Yoshi winning but the episode made me laugh super hard).
Bowser vs Ganondorf was decent imo. Tho I wanted Bowser to win, the fight wasn't too bad imo.
Ganondorf vs Dracula was also really good.
Just please don't get upset with me on Peach vs Zelda.
Peach vs. Zelda was at the time the single worst episode they put out for numerous reasons, but as of recently they have tried to pull less things out of their ass to make characters win, so they may revisit it one day and give it a proper fight instead of "Peach can create matter with her legs lmao"
Peach winning was accurate, you’re just salty.
Kiriyu? TUHHHH FUCKKKKKKK
12:20 😂 how did you come up with the lines.
Peach beats Zelda
Zelda equals Ganon
Ganon beats bowser
Therefore
Peach beats bowser
That's how you know it's wrong
Peach has beaten Bowser before.
Well, just because Batman has defeated Superman before, doesn't mean he can take on Doomsday.
Un yeah like he said peach beat Bowser on his own even when he was amp hell young yoshi beat modern bowser so peach definitely scales to bowser
Cought princess peach for the ds cough
@@gameuniverse5973 peach still doesn't hold a candle to Zelda 🤨
