On another note. Cure, Protect, Shell, Reflect, Haste, Slow, Stop, Blind, Confuse, Sleep, Silence, Break and Berserk would all be effective.

I'm not sure of that. Half of those are practically game mechanics. Plus, most powerful enemies are immune to them, AND Ganon has shown himself resistant to magic. Pretty much Light magic seems to be the only thing truly effective against him.

Which ones, not the important ones anyhow. Yeah but they're actually listed as being immune to certain spells. When was it said that he resists magic?

Yes. That's why I said he had the ability.

A point to when would be nice, still got those spells to fall back on.

The Midna scene.

Blind and confuse for starters. Shell and Protect up defense but outside of game mechanics there is no indication of exactly how they work.

Even so, it seems anyone who is moderately powerful or skilled in magic adopts an immunity to these spells. Ganon doesn't have a list of immunities because he isn't in the FF game.

Ganon's Triforce of Power makes him practically unfazed by even the most powerful of magic. The LoZ wiki describes it as giving him almost "god like" power. Even Midna's ancient dark magic wasn't enough.

Also, the FF8 party can't even use those spells without drawing them from somewhere first. It's like the FF7's materia system. We can't use them because we can't speculate as to what spells the FF8 party would even have, or who they would be junction to, since it is completely up to the player to decide.

Zant vs. Link, Midna, and Lanayru (Light Spirit)

YouTube video

0:36- TK knocks Link down, throws Lanayru into wall.
0:48- TK forces Lanayru underwater, shrouds area in Twilight (This turns Link to wolf form.)
1:04- TKs Midna, holding her still.
1:40- Outright states that what he's doing is not Twili magic, claims it comes from his god, who we know to be Ganondorf. Also throws Midna into the ground.
1:51- TK catches Wolf Link mid-leap, before magic curse ball (TM) explodes, trapping Link in wolf form permanently.
3:10- (Best part) TKs Midna in place, while forcing Lanayru up, and forces Lanayru to attack Midna

Thar ya go.

YouTube video

1:15- Agahnim (Ganondorf) drags Link into the Dark World. This is just in case either Twilight (shown above) or the Gap Between Dimensions somehow fail. That's 3 different BFR moves.

YouTube video

Starts at 2:13, take from it what you will. At 2:50, Zelda claims that she can't breathe because Ganon's thinning the air. At 3:24, Zelda gets sealed.

The same way that armour makes someone tougher but with a magical veil or something along those lines.

Ganon is powerful and all, but the very reason he's not from the FF world is why he cant be in the FF boss immunity section unless specified. Zelda's magic did at the end of OoT, as did the sages group magic so we know he's not immune probably just resistant.

Depends if this thread allows access to anything like many other FF threads do or not.

Cheers Scenario, I take it the 'best part' was multiple TK.

It only looked like singular TK on Midna.

It was singular. Wasnt TKing the light spirit.

No, he was TKing the light spirit, and even going so far as to manipulate his power. Lanayru wasn't doing that on his own.

Lanayru wasnt attacking Midna, her presence alone did that. She cant be exposed to the light spirits, (why she always hides when Link speaks to them) the only thing she does to Midna is teleport her and Link away. All Zant did was hold Midna and remove the Twilight so Lanayru would come up.

And how did you come up with that? 'cause you know, it looks a lot like Lanayru's power was activated when that light started to shine a lot more than usual.

The only abnormal light is at 3:20 when she teleports them away.

There are many problems with that theory.

1. Lanayru's light shines much brighter than it normally does.
2. Zant throws out his arm, signaling the use of TK on the Light Spirit's orb of light. He also used his arm when he placed it back within the lake after defeating Lanayru.
3. Twilight has not been shown to repress the Light spirits. In fact, they are > Twilight.
4. Zant flat out says "I will return you to the light world you covet."
5. Nothing says Midna can't be in the presence of the light spirit. Besides, she is, she only hides in Link's shadow.

Its no brighter then any other time a Light spirit appears besides the part I mentioned. A Light spirit brought back to power overcomes Twilight, weakens ones dont. (When they dont have the full power, in this instance being subdued.) She's in his shadow and in her shadow form not in her 'solid' form and right next to it like in that clip, which shows what happen if she faces them.
To note if he was manipulating her and her powers she would not of been able to save Link and Midna like she did.

No time power is going to work on Ganon, BloodRain, he ignored a time freeze that stopped all of Hyrule while his power was still sealed. 😬

Also, Zant does have multiple TK, he beat Link, Midna, and the Light spirit simultaneously.

False. Did you even look at it when it got really close to Midna? It gets progressively brighter.

Exactly, so your original point was wrong. Zant did not simply remove the Twilight so that Lanayru would rise, thus transforming Midna.

Shadow happens automatically in the light world, it has nothing to do with being near a light spirit. I believe it's even stated in game. Beings of the Twilight can be no more than Shadow in the world of the Light.

Based on what? He TK'd the orb and used one of it's powers. So that means Lanayru can't activate anything else?

We may even chock that up to PIS, because they have to escape Zant somehow.

Bright from her perspective. We see before and after the close up and the light hasnt changed at all.

That aids my point. Zant beat the Spirit so he was able to bring down Twilight. As soon as he got rid of it the Spirit could get back up.

Yeah, I know that but she doesnt have to hide in his shadow all the time. No reason she would hide away every time one shows up. This is the only instance that she has been fully present before one, and her being a Twili and in a weakened form makes it seen right that she cant face a Light spirit.

Manipulating to the fine point of accessing moves/powers puts him in control of what she can or can't do. Id put PIS away and say that its evidence to him not TKing or controlling her.
