Ganon is the recurring main antagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, and his mocking laugh has become one of the franchise's most recognisable villain cues across its many games and animated appearances. As gameplay clips, boss fights, and Zelda memes spread on YouTube and TikTok, the laugh was lifted from its in-game context and reused as a standalone reaction sound. It remains popular because listeners recognise it instantly, even without seeing Ganon, and because it instantly frames any clip as a scheming, over-the-top villain moment.
