So who do you think is going to win this fight? Also i know there is technically a thread that was made months earlier about this but this is more related to DEATH BATTLE so i decieded to make a new thread. Also i put this in Etcetera since while this is a DB between two gaming charcters - DB is not a gaming show or series so i thought it should go here.

I like the Zelda series more but Ganondorf is a jobbing ass jobber. Gonna have to give this one to the Count.

Do either of them have the means to permanently put the other down?

As long as Ganondorf possesses the Triforce of Power he's gonna keep getting back up, so I guess he could petrify Dracula but idk if that counts as a victory.

At the same time, Ganondorf can be hurt by non-light weapons but they won't kill him forever whereas Dracula seems to only be vulnerable to things tailored specifically to him

Spoilers obviously.

Story wise Dracula has been semi - permanently killed in 1999 by Julius Belmont (how we don't know since the game was never made). But he was reincarnated as Soma which is the hero in 2 castlevania games. His power even after his death still wonders around but Soma is the only one that can truely absorb it and become Dracula again.

The reason Dracula can't die is because he owns a stone that absorbs all dead vampire powers, so when he dies he reabsorbs his power and get revived.

Also most of the Dracula's you beat in game are extremely weakened versions of him. I think only Trever and Simon have killed a fully powered Dracula.

The winner should be Dracula

I see

I guess it depends on how much credence they give to the Triforce of Power then. On one hand, there have been Links who have beaten him without the Master Sword, and he has been killed only to be resurrected by some other villain. On the other hand, he survived his own execution and the go-to way to get rid of him is to seal him away with the Master Sword.

Ganondorf is the most over wrestler in VGCW history

Well Ganondorf's triforce piece did revive him when he died so it's hard to say if he can be permanently killed when he has literal Deus ex machina on his side

What do you consider "death" if it's possible for said person to live again? It's akin to fainting in Pokemon

True but Dracula could kill Ganondorf via sending him in a black hole to remain forever trapped there and he wouldn't come back. The Winner can still kill the loser and that would count as a victory even if they are likely to come back later

I fee like it depends on what version of Ganondorf you're taking about. Older, Windwaker Ganondorf would probably give Dracula more of a pause than the more iconic OoT version.

Drac can be killed by random shit he just has laying about his castle. "Hey, tiny ghost pal. Go ahead and just hang onto that Crissaegrim for me, yeah?"

Almost always with one exception: Four Swords Adventures. The Ganondorf from that game is a new reincarnation as the previous died in Twilight Princess which takes place before that game. This guy:

That's the thing about Ganondorf, usually when he dies... he dies. In Adult Timeline, he's killed at the end of Wind Waker. In the Child Timeline, Link kills him in Twilight Princess. In the Fallen Timeline, he dies but I believe he is resurrected by his minions instead of reincarnating. Zelda 2 is all about his minions trying to revive him and the Oracle games are about Twinrova trying to resurrect him. So he definitely dies and doesn't simply come back as the same Ganondorf unless he is revived by magic from an outside source.

Ganondorf can essentially only be killed by the Master Sword, whereas Dracula has been put to rest by people outside of the Belmont clan.

They clear state they put down Dracula by sealing the castle away which needs to exist so he can revive. So his soul was forced reincarnate
