Ganon, also known as Ganondorf, is the recurring Demon King and main antagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, a role he has held since the franchise began in the 1980s. Because of that long history, his laugh is instantly recognisable to players even without context. Short clips of the character laughing have circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where creators reuse them to signal villainous glee, arrogant triumph, or a plan coming together. The appeal lies in hearing such a serious antagonist lose control and giggle.
