Number 13

Ghirahim

    Series: The Legend of Zelda

Ghirahim (Skyward Sword)

    Ghirahim is the self-proclaimed Demon Lord and main antagonist of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Ghirahim is one of the few antagonists in the Zelda series to actually become well-received upon debut. Unlike Ganondorf, Ghirahim likes to directly interfere with Link, rather than sit around and allow minions to do his dirty work for him. He is malicious, blood-thirsty and downright insane as his graceful, yet powerful character interferes with Link's quest time and time again. Even though he was simply a servant of Demise, Ghirahim made a much bigger impact than his master, and in the end, was a much better and more memorable villain.

Number 12
Porky
Series: EarthBound

Porky (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

 Pokey Minch, or Porky as he is more commonly known, is an antagonist that appears in both EarthBound and its sequel, MOTHER 3. Porky's family has always had a bitter taste for Ness and his family, as Ness' father borrowed a couple thousand dollars from them and never repaid it. Porky commits many crimes throughout the series, such as kidnapping Paula and trying to sacrifice her and aiding the evil alien Giygas in his quest for planetary destruction. Porky then becomes the King of New Pork City in Mother 3 and wreaks havoc to the people. This twisted child is one of the most evil and wicked characters in Nintendo history.

Number 11
Majora
Series: The Legend of Zelda

Skull Kid (Majora's Mask)

 Majora is the monstrous evil that lives within the Majora's Mask and is responsible for the events of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Majora finds a host in the lonely Skull Kid, corrupting his mind and using him to try and destroy Termina using the Moon. Much like Ghirahim, Majora made a huge impact upon his debut, and while he has only appeared in one game, is still hailed as one of the greatest Zelda villains of all time. It is obvious that Majora's one goal is destruction, and were it not for Link, Clock Town would have met with a terrible fate.
