Board 8 > Could Donkey Kong defeat Ganondorf in a fight?

(+) Yeah! (+)

as nominated by @swirldude

Arguments for Ganondorf:

• he is the King of Evil, treacherous, cunning, and imbued with the Triforce of Power
• he is a skilled warlock, swordsman, horse rider, and occasional pig
• FALCON PUNCH

Arguments for DK:

• he's faster than Ganondorf (and maybe bigger?)
• Golden Bananas are probably the Kong equivalent of the Master Sword
• if DK shoots Ganondorf, it's gonna hurt

Last topic, DK was no match for the power of the Prince of Persia's Dagger of Time. Today we have an intriguing matchup: a villain from a very different kind of Nintendo game. Can DK play Dead Man's Volley with his fists? Or is this Kong about to get Gannon Banned?

Nominations are welcome!

it's called a warlock punch smh

DK gets absolutely wrecked.

yeah uh

this one might be a bit much even for DK.

Probably not yeah

Nominate John Rambo (Stallone has to have a rematch!)

I feel like Ganondorf will be a bad time for DK, sadly

Nominate Magus

Ganondorf generally needs a level of magic to pierce through pretty much his immunity. Things like the Light Arrows, which are created by essentially magic of the Goddess are one of the only things that legitimately stop him and he can't even die from that.

So... he could get ragdolled by Donkey Kong at times maybe, but never actually be harmed and will eventually just blast a hole through the gorilla.

Ganondorf

Nominate Scott Lang (MCU)

I am afraid Ganondorf has DK over a barrel.

Ganodorf Solos

But I still think DK beats the prince of persia >_>

Ganondorf wins, yeah. DK needs light arrows and he doesn't have any.

g

what if DK gets Zelda to infuse his coconut gun with light arrow power

If DK shoots Ganondorf, its gonna hurt.

Ganondorf probably wins, but are we pretending that DK being able to punch the moon isn't some kind of magic in itself?

Donkey Kong, Easily

One of the lesser-known facts confirmed by Returns is the property of DK's golden bananas. Specifically, that they are not ordinary bananas, but are contained with a life essence that can bring the inanimate to life, as seen here when used to revive the Tiki Tak Tribe via their leader, Tiki Tong. This can be seen here via Colonel Pluck's weird grape-squashing homage:

This actively justifies why eating 100 bananas gives DK an extra life; they are life. This is further corroborated by the golden banana in the Golden Temple, which sends DK into nirvana upon tasting it. Donkey Kong does not need light arrows; Donkey Kong is the light arrows. And past his immortality, I've yet to see a non-calamity Ganon who's impressed me enough to beat DK's reflexes. Plus he'll probably be shocked that something is actually gonna hurt.

Just bear in mind that Ganons weakness to light is often greatly exaggerated for instance, in Twilight Princess he gets stabbed through the chest by the sages holy sword. Not only does that not kill him, he pulls the sword out form himself and uses it as his own weapon for the rest of the game

While I do agree that it isn't instant vaporization, DK can punch, like, 16 times per second. I do not think Ganondorf has ever had to experience being punch drunk and concussed before, with the punches simultaneously burning his immortal soul. I think DK coulda stabbed him a little better than Saria or whoever did, too.

It is written, only Link can defeat Ganon.

No

OK switch to DK

i like holy fist DK a lot, switch to him
