His status as a deity is explained in Ocarina of Time, Four Swords Adventures, and Twilight Princess. Ganon has temples dedicated to him and is worshiped as a god.
Ganon is a formidable sorcerer, able to use magic to attack as well as shapeshift, and a skilled enough swordsman to hold his own against Link (Who is arguably one of the best swordsmen around). The Triforce of Power makes Ganon stronger yet, granting him powers such as transvection, teleportation, and superhuman strength. Further, the Triforce piece renders him nearly immortal: he can survive wounds as severe as being impaled by a sword. Once drastically injured, he can be magically imprisoned by divine intervention, but he may escape. If he is actually killed, his followers may resurrect him. Often, only sacred weapons can hurt Ganon at all.
He uses magic - A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and The Adventure of Link, among other titles.
He changes between human and beast forms in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.
Ganon acrobatically dodges Link's swings in The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. In the former, he dual-wields swords.
Ganon flies in A Link to the Past, the TV series The Legend of Zelda, and Ocarina of Time. In Twilight Princess, he causes Princess Zelda to fly while possessing her.
Ganondorf is one of the most powerful characters in the series, mostly due to the Triforce of Power. Even without it, his magical powers are still extremely potent. In Ocarina of Time he possessed some magical abilities before obtaining the Triforce, shown in the opening scene where he blasted Link with dark magic. He was also able to create countless monsters
