What is the significance of Ganondorf's organ in OoT?

I understand that you're joking, but I still have the urge to nitpick; the song actually stops when he stops pressing the keys.

This is actually a good analysis, though I think the organ would lean more toward intimidation rather than deception.

I mean, logically we would think of someone consumed by such a force to be completely and totally driven toward his goal: conquest.

Such an enemy, however, is quite easy to defeat as he is blinded to everything else.

But then Link sees Ganon playing the Organ, an instrument that takes a very long time to master. It shows his power has not only increased his strength and magic, but also his mind. Playing the organ creates a much more formidable and dangerous opponent for Link.

This is also a very good take on the organ.

Huh, I could've sworn it kept playing. Ah, well.

Still clearly deception. The organ disappears before the fight starts, it was clearly an illusion.

Zelda vanished too, so it's likely that Ganondorf just magically moved the stuff out of the room.

It makes him a Badass

The meaning of the organ is good music to make a proper atmosphere. And even evil Kings need a hobby to pas their time while waiting for their plans to sort out. You people think too much. It's for show mostly.

Maybe he wanted to be a pianist but surrogate mothers Kotake and Koume wanted him to bee an evil king.

The princess is also an illusion. Her reappearance and escape are all a part of his grand scheme.

I hope that you're not being serious. Zelda was clearly in the actual room before the battle, and I sincerely doubt that Ganondorf planned to be beaten up by the Hero of Time and destroy his own tower before fighting in a monstrous form.

It seems to be used to add how dramatic the moment is, for instance, it is far more powerful seeing him play a massive organ, than a fairy ocarina... As for the Happy Mask Salesman, I really don't know why or how he used that organ... Maybe it's a portable one that folds up inside his backpack...

Well, that's not his goal, no. These are steps along the plan that will lead him to something greater.

And, yes, I'm joking.

Seriously, though, that's a piano.

For effect. Or it could have been to pass the time.

It could also be to clam himself. As Zelda said after the fight, he needs a lot of willpower to keep the Triforce under controll. Playing the Organ might have a calming effect on him.

He needs to clam himself, eh?

Yeah I always thought it was for him to give Link a dramatic effect, lol, that along with the ridiculously long stairwell.

Because he is the ultimate King of EVIL, and as we all know the organ is the most evil instrument one could play. He needed that to proove to the world of gaming he still had more (evil) aces up his sleeve and that his evil was not inferior to a certain other villain in a game I'm sure most of you know of... it begins with an F and ends with VII.

I really don't want to talk about Ganon's organ. This thread is disgusting.

I think that Ganondorf's organ is simply to make him appear much cooler and to add dramatic music. Nothing more really.

Seeing as how Ganondorf rocketed out of the ruins of his tower and turned into an abomination after revealing his immortality three minutes after Zelda said that, I doubt that he struggled to use the ToP.

If you were smart, then you'd decide not to post in it then.

He didn't struggle to use it, he struggled to controll it. As you said, he turned into a monster three minutes after losing controll.

I looked through this thread, did some digging into the Internet, and confirm 3 separate reasons:

1) It's for creepy effect.
2) It is actually him playing.
3) He's bored.
