Today on #zeldamonth we're looking at some of the best bosses!

--------------------------------
NEW COUNTDOWNS EVERY 1st and 15th!

Surprised Girahim wasn't even an honorable mention. Fantastic character, fancy swordplay(even if SS's swordplay can be jank at the best of times), and both repeats take what he showed you in the previous battle and ramp it up. I know SS isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he's one of my personal favorite fights in the series.

Well according to a theory, Ganondorf gave a portion of his power to Zant and when he tries to use that power again to pull the same trick he did during his "execution", Zant, who was still linked to Ganondorf by that power and after seeing Ganondorf's true face... crack his neck as a form of "Nope !" to Ganondorf.

Sounds like a fitting end for me

[animegx]

I love how Ganondorf quickly realized how much of a pain in the ass Zelda was and briefly knocked her out.

He actually LEARNED something for once.

In Breath of the Wild I go more for Vah Naboris and Thunderblight Ganon. Mostly because of how dynamic the fight with Vah Naboris is and the challenge that really is Thunderblight Ganon.

[DesertCavalier]

Yes! Zant! Thank you!

I always thought Zant was the perfect depiction of a man granted huge amounts of godlike power but who had no idea how to actually use it. Less of a child on sugar and more like a bullied child being given a flamethrower.

His fight extenuates this, by having him use the tactics of previous bosses against you instead of his own strategy. Then, when he runs out of options, he pulls out his swords and goes nuts because what else can he do? Nothing else has worked!!

[ReaperAlex]

Personally my favorite Ganondorf is Twilight Princess. I loved how it felt like an epic fight and I found myself yelling at him "WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE!!" But thats just my opinion and I never played Windwaker since everytime I tried to play it my ex, who was my gf at the time, would hog it and took (stole) it with her in the break up.

[warrockenjoyer]

I personally hate it that most people don't give Demise from Skyward Sword any love.

It's a mano-a-mano fight. No special stage item, no dungeon to travel through, just the first hero and the first villain fighting.

[SamRegan]

Im honestly shocked that Monk Maz Koshia wasn't on this list in any form, that is one of the most enjoyable boss fights I've ever encountered

[thetalltitan]

Koloktos, Stallord, and Ocarina of Time's Ganon fight first come to mind as some of the best; no arguments here.

14:15 "This Rahi isn't _in_ the room, it _is_ the room!"

[jonathanceledon]

I'm very surprised that Ghirahim wasn't on the list

[Zodia]

Same with dungeons, I'll just be listing my fav bosses from each game I've played and completed.

1. Ocarina of Time- Bongo Bongo- fav Zelda boss period. I should mention that the Shadow Temple is also my 2nd fav dungeon in the game and this boss is a major reason why. It's just so fun! I normally dislike having to pay attention to multiple things in a boss fight, but this is one of those exceptions because the boss really doesn't overwhelm you. A lot of people love the boss of Tower of the Gods in WW, but they forget this was the predecessor.

2. Windwaker- Gohma- Rare for a first boss battle to be my fav, but this is one of those times. It took me awhile to figure out how to beat this boss when I first played it, but when I did, it was so satisfying! I love the added humor, which I feel is WW's biggest strength in the game (the humor).

3. Twilight Princess- Ganondorf- Fav final boss in the series. This is also my brother's fav boss battle too. One simple sword fight against your greatest nemesis, and it's glorious! I love how it tests your secret sword abilities and when you clash swords against Ganondorf.

4. Link Between Worlds- Stalblind- I like how you have to use your merge ability to outwit this boss. Also by this point I have the Fire Rod too and I love using it against this boss lol.

5. Breath of the Wild- Master Kohga- Probably the funniest boss battle in the franchise. I hated the stealth part leading up to it, so this boss battle is always a treat lol. I do have one major complaint about the boss battles in this game though, they should NOT be easier than the sub-bosses in this game. It's kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Oh I do want to give an honorable mention for this one because one thing the game does that is unique is make the 'dungeons' fight back, so I also want to mention my fav Divine Beast fight- Vah Medoh because I love shooting arrows and it's satisfying hitting the mark. Vah Ruta comes at a close 2nd though because it's a bit more riveting.

*Watches video* Finally someone who enjoys the Zant fight as much as me. As a whole I enjoy ALL of the Twilight Princess bosses (when I did my own written list years ago it had the most turn out. FYI, Stallord made that list too). And guys, so what if MM is sweeping the top spots, it's his channel and he loves it lol.

So we're going to do fav Chars huh? I wonder if Josh will pick his fav versions of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf.

[jaketaller]

My honorable mentions:

Gemesaur King (Link Between Worlds)
Take the Helmesaur King and crank it up to 11.

Ghirahim (Skyward Sword)
His tongue is mightier than his swords.

Gleeok (OG Legend Of Zelda)
You can’t get a more classic boss in a fantasy setting than a giant dragon, albeit one with three heads.

Monk Maz Koshia (Breath Of The Wild DLC)
Don’t mess with the monk, or he will monk you up!

Phantom Ganon (Ocarina Of Time)
Suavemente intensifies.

Skeldritch (Spirit Tracks)
This guy earns points just for that name alone.

[whitethunder]

I wish Ghirahim had gotten on this list somewhere, but I like all your picks. Maybe an honorable mention?

[acejumper]

I personally would argue that Ganondorf from Tears of the kingdom is a better boss than Ganondorf from Wind Waker. He changes weapons constantly, keeping you guessing his attack patterns. His attacks can reduce your maximum hearts. He also clones himself, and doubles his massive health bar in the middle of the fight. If that wasn't enough, he can dodge, and flurry rush your attacks.

[mercenarygundam]

Another thing about Zant is that each of his boss phase references previous bosses and tests you. Kinda like a Final Exam of sorts.

[westonmyers]

I should have expected Majora as #1 because it is the most twisted and enigmatic villain in the Zelda series. I'm glad that Koloktos made it on to the list though.

[KGKSkull]

Koloktos is kinda creepy, the laughter as they die is unsettling and makes me think they are powered by the soul of a child. It’s like the soul is happy to have death again.

[paulgrotebeverborg]

I really liked the boss in Phantom Hourglass' temple of courage, turning invisible with you having to aim by seeings its point of view

[ArcCaravan]

I was convinced he was gonna make Ghirahim number 1. And I'm just as convinced number 1 next time will be fishsticks.
