Ganonforce

Ganonforce is the cargo ship between Ganondorf and the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda fandom.

Canon
In the series, the goal of antagonist Ganondorf is almost always to complete the Triforce, a divine relic created by the Golden Goddesses that can grant immense power. During his quest to obtain it he gets granted with the Triforce of Power, but that alone wasn't enough for him to be content with. He seeks to hold all three pieces of Power, Wisdom and Courage, he targets Zelda and Link to claim their pieces of the Triforce. Ganondorf's Triforce of Power has allowed him to survive anything that would have otherwise ended up killing him, from being buried in rubble, to even being impaled in the chest by the Sages.

Ocarina of Time
After Link and Princess Zelda meet for the first time, the princess explains why she is looking through the window and she believes the dark clouds symbolize Ganondorf and allows him to look through. While her father does not believe that her dream was a prophesy, Zelda could sense his real intentions and what he seeks is none other than the Triforce and plans to use it to conquer both Hyrule and the world which worries her and she pleads with Link to keep Ganondorf from getting the Triforce while she protects the Ocarina of Time as it was also the key to opening the Door of Time to the Sacred Realm where it is. Link and Zelda must get to the Triforce before Ganondorf could so they can defeat him. In the meantime, Link must get the last two Spiritual Stones which play a role in opening the Door of Time. Zelda is proven right about Ganondorf seeking the Triforce as she and Impa flee from him on horseback when Ganondorf attacks Hyrule Castle and he pursues them, though they managed to escape from him and Zelda throws the Ocarina of Time into the moat, and Ganondorf even tells Link that he plans to rule the world as he continues his pursuit. When Link pulls the Master Sword, the opposite occurs as Link is sealed in the Sacred Realm for seven full years while Ganondorf succeeds in taking the Triforce, however because his heart does have balance and only values power over wisdom and courage, the Triforce ended up splitting apart and two pieces ended up in the possession of Link and the currently missing Princess Zelda, meaning Ganondorf had to wait seven years for Link to be free and still searches for Zelda, unbeknownst to him, was in disguise as Sheik. According to Impa after the Shadow Temple is cleared, when they fled that day Ganondorf came after them he was seeking to take the Ocarina of Time from them. After Link awakens all of the Sages, Sheik reveals herself to be Zelda and bestows the Light Arrows to Link but ends up being kidnapped by Ganondorf to get her Triforce of Wisdom and uses her as bait to lure Link to his castle to get his Triforce of Courage to gain mastery of the force and to turn the world into one of evil. However, Link was able to rescue Zelda and defeat him, leaving the Sages to seal him away as he vows to exterminate their descendants and tells them that he still has the Triforce of Power with him.

The Wind Waker
After breaking free of his seal, Ganondorf attacked Hyrule but since the era is deprived of a hero, they left the fate of the kingdom to the gods, who flooded Hyrule, and many people took refuge on the mountain tops which become islands. A hundred years later, Ganondorf sought the Triforce again and as Princess Zelda is under a different identity, he has the assistance of the Helmaroc King to seek out any young girls who could possibly be the princess and bring them to him. Any girl that isn't Zelda are imprisoned rather than returned home, and among them was Link's younger sister Aryll, who ended up getting involved with the motivation to save her. It does not go well the first time, but the second time was better as he saved Aryll, Maggie, and Mila with the help of Tetra's pirates. When Tetra arrives to help Link during his confrontation with Ganondorf, he seizes her and when the Triforce of Power reacted when he brought his hand to her arm which reveals her true identity. However, Quill and Komali managed to take both Link and Tetra out of his grasp while Valoo the sky spirit burns his ship, but he managed to escape. Shortly after that, after her transformation, Princess Zelda had to take refuge from Ganondorf as it was too dangerous for her at this point while Link awakens the Sages' successors and searching for the Triforce of Courage's shards. Upon returning, Zelda is immediately kidnapped and Ganondorf taunts that there is no true safe haven for her anywhere. During the final battle, Ganondorf takes the Triforce pieces from Link and Zelda to assemble the full Triforce, he attempts to wish to the gods to give Hyrule to him, but King Daphnes Hyrule managed to beat him to it and wishes for Hyrule to be washed away instead. With his fate sealed, Ganondorf attempted to be take Link and Princess Zelda with him, but Link impales him through the forehead and turns him to stone.

Twilight Princess
In the game, Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganondorf all already have their respective Triforce parts in the beginning. Link's Triforce of Courage only turned him into a wolf instead of a spirit like everyone else when he is exposed to the Twilight and Princess Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom prevents her from any transformation at all. Ganondorf was exposed and sent to Arbiter's Grounds to be executed by the Sages. However, as some sort of divine prank, Ganondor has the Triforce of Power which allowed him to survive it and breaks free from his restraints and kills one of the Sages and takes the sword from his chest but ends up being banished to the Twilight Realm. From there, he manipulated Zant, who was recently denied the right to rule as Midna was the late king's true successor under the guise of a god and gave him power. Zant would then curse Midna to her imp form and send her into exile and caused a huge part of Hyrule to fall into Twilight. Much later on, Link and Midna confront Ganondorf at Hyrule Castle where he shows them the Triforce of Power on his hand as he states that such power would allow him the right to rule. After Link defeats him one last time with him impaling him through the same spot from his earlier execution, Ganondorf looks at his hand but since it was the Master Sword that struck him, it fades away, and he dies while standing up as Link and Princess Zelda look on in pity.

Fanon
Ganonforce is a very popular ship amongst the fanbase, and it is often the main motivation for him to seek the Triforce to rule Hyrule and the world in the conquest for power whenever he is written as the main antagonist and in many of these scenarios, he always ends up with the Triforce of Power and is thus rare for him to have the Triforce of Wisdom or Courage.

"A Simple Request" by the parody comic series Brawl in the Family depicts Ganondorf singing a cover of Mariah Carrey's "All I want for Christmas is You" to the Triforce in comic form, humorously showing him fantasizing various romantic scenarios with the relic in-between him causing havoc throughout Hyrule. Then, in another comic made the following year, Ganondorf indeed receives the Triforce as a Christmas present, much to the chagrin of Zelda.

Ganondorf: "We could work together lover; I take charge while you look good."

An even earlier comic also shows Ganondorf having bought the Triforce from Kirby after the latter finds it in a treasure chest and not knowing what to do with it.
