Generally truly "powerful" people in the Diablo world don't attack using brute strength and can still function even while exhausted, so lore wise it wasn't used against any particularly powerful enemies. The only time it was used was on Zayl.

2. The Triforce is not some run-of-the-mill magic triangle, it is an ancient spiritual artifact of unlimited power(no I am not saying Ganon is omnipotent), he can use that unlimited power to amp his strength.
You’re saying that he is in possession of an artifact with “unlimited” power and yet is not “omnipotent”.
Do you realize how stupid that logic is? Omnipotence results from such a thing like unlimited power.

3. Ganon can cast something close to an illusion, as shown in OoT, Phantom Ganon's can mask themselves to appear to look like Ganon, he can summon a few with his appearance, the difference is, these things can also attack.
Simple, corporeal illusions are nothing to a necromancer. They detect which from which simply from the essence of their souls, or spirit.
Zayl managed to even bypass that and fool another necromancer much more experienced and powerful than he by stabbing a zombie in the back with his own dagger (which carries his 'aura'😉 and then making it invisible. And even then the necromancer detected the presence/invisibility of another being.

Ganon has shown awareness beyond mortals, and has never even hinted fear, his state of mind is Godlike(if that makes sense).
Awareness is moot, when in comparison to a powerful emotion like the most base of fear. I've already said this. Everyone, no matter what, is afraid of something.
If he isn't secretly afraid of Link by now after all the righteous ass-kickings he's got from the fairy kid I'd be surprised.
Because you have great power does not mean you're not afraid of something. For example, a minion of one of the Seven Evils of Hell was in his right extremely powerful and he still panicked when a necromancer cast the image of his worst fear into his mind (an archangel), despite knowing better.

4. So being forced to be melded in a wall>freezing a city?
Yes, because his soul itself was actually being slowly absorbed into the wall and enslaved as to become a sentinel of sorts. If he had a weaker spirit his soul would have been absorbed instantly.
And he still escaped.

5. But has he SHOWN planetary awareness? And ever consider his awareness(if they are indeed beyond human) along with his power decrease while controlling a MORTAL shell?
Yes, and because his power is channeled, not borrowed, the usage of a mortal shell wouldn't make a difference, the shell wouldn't last very long.
Like I said, magic uses the body.

6. Any being? Like what? Saying he can literally withstand any being is a no-limit fallacy, or can he stop the Phoenix Force from possessing him?
It's not fallacy at all; it's a ward. Like, say...if you set up a ward so that demons cannot pass it, then they cannot pass it without time, severe effort and great power. Even then the person who set the ward would have to be unaware the entire time for it to work. Ganon could, but it would take him time and effort; and neither is practical in a field of battle.

7. What is the strongest thing it has withstood. Ever withstood total disintegration? Didn't think so.
Falling down a vertical air shaft into a crypt about a mile deep. They're two different things but they have the same amount of lethality.
Splattered into goop or being turned into ash, makes no real difference. The runes of Trag'Oul on his cloak protect him from both.

Yes, he has killed many, but thing is, if I am remembering correctly how the spell works, can Ganon not just teleport out?
Anti-teleportation can be woven into the spell, as shown in
Moon of the Spider. Salene attempted to teleport out, but she felt some kind of barrier in her mind that couldn't be removed.
If he's encased in a bone prison the only thing he can do is beat away at it until it collapses (vengeance > Triforce, there are some things that are beyond magic) or wait until the magic wears off.

Shields, even if enchanted, are still corporeal items. Completely magical barriers aren't.

Look, if you're going to argue at least provide reasoning instead of making ridiculous declarations without even bothering to explain why, let alone prove completely.
Where is the reasoning, that he would not be fooled by illusions cast by a necromancer? The proof? Sight is sight. Hearing is hearing. How does Ganon tell one illusion from another, or the real necromancer? He doesn’t.
You can say it as much as you like, without proper reasoning that statement is completely worthless.

10. That's not what I meant. What makes you think his teleport is as fast as Ganon's?
Ganon seems to have two teleports, the "blink" teleport and the much slower "shadow" teleport(similar to Akuma's, from Street Fighter).
Blink is instantaneous. So is the necromancer's, but the necromancer just has a slightly faster start up time. They're not faster; they're about the same spell-wise. Ganon teleports in, necromancer teleports away. Or if it's a disguise, just counterattack.

11. A frickin Wallmaster can do that. Ganon can freeze whole cities. That>assimilating a being into a wall.
You're missing the point entirely. I'm not talking about the power used to cast, only the effect.
Which do you think is more difficult, escaping from being frozen up, or escaping from stone hands leeching your soul while turning you into stone, while you can't breathe, barely think, can't use your hands or legs, and are utterly exhausted?

12. Not sure, care to explain what one is?
"Link can't be affected by Skill A or Effect B from Ganon because he has item A and enchantment B. Outside character does not possess item A or enchantment B so Ganon instantly wins, blah blah blah"
I thought Nozdormu set the rules up to ward you from doing it again, you were attempting that fallacy in the Paladin vs Ganon thread as well.

13. Ganon's powers are drawn from an infinite source, the Triforce of Power, all his powers are fueled by that, so yeah, he has infinite magic power, that little mana rule doesn't apply to all verses.
No, it's not a "little mana rule" and stop attempting to deny a basic integral rule of magic in fiction. You can deny it a million times for all I care, but your opinion does not change
fact. I called your argument here a "bloody shambles" because it is so utterly wrong.
Magic uses the body. Even with the Triforce it doesn't constantly grant the user strength and replenishment, he has limits still. Ganon can continually spam magic and not be affected because the Triforce grants him more usage of magic, but by no means is it completely unrestricted or unlimited. Get what I am saying?
Saying something like that he is godlike and has unlimited power, etc, is simply a case of plot-induced stupidity. Of course realistically he is neither, seeing as how Link beat him.
Repeatedly, I might add.

Typical fanboy statement.
Unless you can provide me an appropriate counter for all those curses and tricks listed earlier (that doesn't consist of something like "Won't work on Ganon"😉 then your arguments are invalid.

1. Sure he wouldn't, even if we must ignore logic and how simple it would be to get near the Necro(teleport).
He'd probably get near an illusion, then probably go on a wild goose chase trying to find a necromancer that is:
-Hidden in invisibility
-Hidden in spirituality
-Not on the mortal plane (This means he can't be attacked, but can't make any attacks unless he departs the plane)
-Hidden among a crapload of golems disguised like him or mental illusions cast into Ganon's mind.
It’s like a remarkably difficult game of Where’s Waldo.
