I'm so proud of Gyorg, definitely got the spot he deserved

[cultogon]

My list would be:
15. Morpha - Tedious waiting for it to make itself vulnerable, can be beaten super easily by backing it into a corner, annoying if you get grabbed.

14. Gyorg - I think you covered Gyorg pretty well, I don't really have anything to say about it.

13. Twinmold - It's a fun boss, but I agree it could have been better. It definitely feels like something is missing.

12. King Dodongo - Amazing design and music let down by the absence of challenge. Definitely the easiest boss between MM and OOT, but not bad.

11. Gohma - Great first boss, but it's simplicity keeps it low for me.

10. Ganondorf - Atmospheric, but I'm honestly not a fan of the tennis. You stand in place and time your swings, it's just not that engaging.

9. Bongo Bongo - Awesome design, but another very simple boss. No problem with it, I think it just falls short of its potential

8. Ganon - Atmospheric, and really fun to fight, but it's lengthy and lacks attack variety.

7. Phantom Ganon - Better than Ganondorf, but I still don't enjoy tennis and this one has a good amount of waiting. Still has an amazing atmosphere and design.

6. Twinrova - Fun boss with a great concept, but takes a bit long to use its attacks. If the fight was a little faster I might put it in the top 3.

5. Volvagia - My favorite design of the 15, and my favorite of the slower and less dynamic boss fights. Takes a bit too long to become vulnerable and most of its attacks are easily avoidable. Definitely the most fun to hit, the megaton hammer is super satisfying.

4. Barinade - A huge step up from OOT's first two bosses, keeps you on the move waiting for your window to attack. I prefer bosses that have less waiting between attacks and while this one has some, it's pretty limited.

3. Odolwa - Fun, dynamic, multiple ways to fight it, easily the best first boss in the series, if not all of gaming history.

2. Majora - Great final boss. each phase is fun making for a great and varied fight. No waiting for it to make itself vulnerable, just a test of your abilities.

1. Goht - Fighting it with just the Goron form is too much fun. Going off a jump and landing on top of it to stun it is one of the most satisfying things in any Zelda game. Exciting, fast-paced, great atmosphere, fantastic arena, awesome design - a near perfect boss fight.

[Einzeller]

For me it definitively was Ganon in OoT. Just because I didn't expect to have another bossfight after Ganondorf. And the way he builds up slowly in that dark arena was just astonishing. I need to say that I was around 13 years old and this was one of the most remarkable events that I had during my youth time of videogaming.

You did my boy Goht dirty 🤣
Should be higher!

[TheInquisitiveMug]

When I first fought Barinade, I had no concept of Z-targeting in combat. Hitting those first phase tubes with manual aim, while under fire, took me forever.

[MaraudingManiac]

I like Bongo Bongo a lot. I do have to say, the boss that I found the most fun on a first playthrough was Goht, nothing will match the fun of that boss the first time you play it.

I'm also curious on how you'd rank the Link's Awkening and the Oracle bosses.

[Pit]

pretty sure liking Barinade more than Goht is a crime in at least 29 countries

[aaabe_T]

i saw the thumbnail a day before it came out

[peeron]

when i think about it the Twilight Princess bosses where sick aswell man.. a vid ranking them aswell would be sick bro! maybe with Wind waker or Skyward sword bosses in comparison

[muhammad]

Ur gonna put Goht below Barinade—below Gohma!? Ur gonna put Odalwa above Ganondorf, the King of Evil. Bro, who hurt you?? 🫢

[pianomanty]

"true it wiggles around, but so do earthworms" LOL

[eric]

I didn't even know you can break the twinmold rocks for more arrows, the things you learn about these games

[rclair-rijn]

would love to see a video ranking all of the sub-bosses!

[ShadowWizard]

My top 5:

Phantom Ganon
Bongo Bongo
Goht
Volvagia
Twinrova

[lordenma]

Funfact :in the 3ds version of the twin molds you don't get you're sword or any weaponry but there's a reference to mario 64 when mario is throwing bowser grabbing his tail link does this too

[blueshoals]

Fun video! Here's my opinion on the list, for funsies:
Barinade should have been a bit higher. It was fun to have such an open area to fight the boss, because the boss was built around dodging lasers and jellyfish. It really made me feel like Link was way more than just a regular kid.
Majora's Mask is #1 for me because the tactics you use will change depending on which transformation masks you want to use. It's like a dozen bosses rolled into one!

[tomgundy]

Against twinmold you use the giants mask not stone mask 🙃

[speedyrocketrobot]

The whole Bongo fight looks interesting, however his battle went by too quickly for me, I just shot his hands and used the Biggoron sword to defeat him really easily. If it were harder, I'd put this higher on my list.
