3D Zelda Mini-Boss Tier List | Ranking Every 3D Zelda Mini-Boss

[@andrewschwab1988]

As someone else has said. You missed probably my favourite mini boss of all time. Lynels! So much fun to fight in Breath of the Wild and the first time you encounter one they were as intimidating as any on this list. As always though great work mate. Love these lists

[@pyro380]

Lynel would be a clear S tier. Probably the most challenging bosses in the whole game.

[@chriscollectsthings]

As always, great tier list! Don’t remember the majority of these bosses but always good to hear your opinion on them!

[@DominickRT44]

I very much enjoy these videos, surprised you don’t have more of a following. It’ll come though

[@GameEssays]

The channels growing everyday! Thanks for the support!

[@saggxnoah1979]

Great list in my opinion. Personally I put the Garo Master at a high A actually because of the scenery and his character moment at the end. An honourable death in his eyes.

[@ImNotOceanz]

TP Skull Kid was so memorable to me between the atmosphere the music and the entire chase and battle

[@StayGold33]

My top 5 favorite 3D Zelda mini-bosses 1. Igos du Ikana 2. Death Sword 3. King Bulblin all phases 4. Gomess 5. Garo Master

[@drexelspivey872]

the ones that really stand out to me are: 1. Dark link in the water temple OoT - this has got to be far and away the best in the series IMO 2. The pirate on the sand ship 3. Lynels in BOTW You have more zelda experience than me for sure though. Anyway, found your channel today and I am a fan, subscribed!

My favorite mini-boss is easily Darkhammer in Twilight Princess. I don't know what's not to love about a giant dinosaur wearing a suit of armor and wielding a massive flail. He's just so cool.

[@ChibiProwl]

He is cool, but he’s tough.

[@ABHyt]

I like how half the mini bosses in Skyward sword are just reskinned stalfos

[@GameEssays]

They at least gave one extra arms lol.

[@jakerockznoodles]

Interesting list. As a kid I found Lizalfos a real challenge for the point of the game they were presented in, so I'd definitely have ranked them higher (and them hopping away from you and towards you felt atmospheric to me). On the other hand, I _hated_ that Octorok Miniboss in Jabu Jabu's belly. Running back and forth in a circular track was just rather irritating and the main challenge was from me losing focus over how bored I was fighting it. It was one of those fights that I wish I knew how to exploit as a kid because it felt like a chore on each playthrough. My favourite game for minibosses was definitely Majora's Mask, with many of them being more memorable than most of the bosses themselves. I loved the idea of a Miniboss who returns to fight you again but in a totally different way. Gave it more of a rivalry feel, and Gecko had a lot of personality.

[@CaptainKibs]

I really like Darknut from Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Also, the Twilit Bloat from Twilight Princess is amazing. It kind of gives me Del Lago vibes from Resident Evil 4. It’s attack patterns can be kind of unpredictable and it gives you a real challenge by requiring you to use Wolf Link’s attacks. Of course, Dark Link is an instant S Tier for me. The reveal of it is just so perfect. It’s too bad that the Nintendo Switch Online ruined the way the water looks.

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

Ocarina Of Time Shadow Temple mini boss gets First place for me..only mini boss that really stuck in my mind. And dark Link!..the design of the room itself is a masterpeice.

[@tomcallebaut4945]

surprised with the fact that with the take on mini/sub -bosses concerning BOTW that Lynels are not mentioned ???

[@Reacted1991]

how about a Tier list on all the random npc's through the series from the memorable to the not too memorable. maybe even split it up from game to game.

[@caseycotreau7050]

Nice tier list and even nicer Daniel Brian shirt

[@GameEssays]

Thank you!

[@unnamed6098]

Excited about that one!

[@simgames9133]

hi Game Essays, congrats for making this video, ton of fun to watch. i don't really agree with your list tho, like lezalfos or poes that i would've put higher but i can see your arguments. it isn't your fault but i would've put lynels in the tier list, such epic monsters to fight!

[@jeffreyrowland6362]

I can’t blame you for forgetting the first mini boss of wind waker. A single green bokoblin…. lol how the fetch was that a miniboss?

[@pantalonesdemuerto7960]

Do the baby Gohmas that fall from the ceiling in the Great Deku Tree not count as a mini-boss?

[@GameEssays]

😂 well played

[@goutamsamanta445]

17:19 he is getting hurt by the lava cause in he had allergie with lava😂 Edit: it's a joke(don't take it seriously)😌

[@Zeldahol]

Good video Essay. I'd have to agree on all of this. Except the 4 arm Stalfos. He was fuckin' cool. Take care Essay.

[@D_FPS_328]

Dark link is the only good thing about the water temple to me.

[@marcelgonzalez1151]

Link's goron can walk thru lava cuz he is already dead lol

[@Petfal]

Boss key or a key item? A boss key is literally a key item!

[@bj.vanduren]

Where is the lynel?

[@GameEssays]

How did I miss that? S tier for sure!
