Ganondorf is the long-running main antagonist of The Legend of Zelda series, and Twilight Princess, released in 2006 for GameCube and Wii, gave him one of his most theatrical performances. His laugh from the game became a reusable shorthand online for an overconfident villain moment. Clips and edits lift the short cackle for boss introductions, mock evil plans and gaming memes, where Zelda fans instantly recognize the voice and tone even without any visuals from the original cutscene.
