I will never get over the finishing blow delivered to Ganondorf in Wind Waker. It's so brutal and by far my favorite in the series.

[@thezapzapman]

It's so great.

[@LeoIsSpeaking]

@@thezapzapmanI know I shouldn't include this but I don't want to be a whiner I want your opinion about the totk ganon mine is a ten on the ganondorf a 10/10 for the dragons look 7/10 of the dragons difficulty

[@thezapzapman]

@@LeoIsSpeaking I definitely recommend watching my TOTK review vid, but in short, the Ganondorf fight is a 10/10 for me in terms of quality. It’s challenging, captivating, everything you want in a final boss.

[@LeoIsSpeaking]

@@thezapzapman I watched it earlier just about now.

[@brionis2686]

Majora was always the most threatening out of all the final bosses imo.

[@-memoria-2136]

I've always adored Phantom Hourglass' final boss, so I'm really happy to see it get well deserved some praise here, even if it's only at #14. Having the balls to force you to fight the companion who's been with you since the start, on the remains of the Ghost Ship that started it all. (and you get to blow it apart yourself after it evading you the whole game!) It's an incredibly fun and atmospheric fight and I love it so much. And that final boss theme is 🙏

[@gameplayboy5686]

And it happened right at the peak of Linebeck's character development

[@LauraVlrs]

At each video you put out, I am amazed by the quality of the audio, the montage, the text, by everything really. Keep up the great work !

[@thezapzapman]

Thanks so much, Laura! I truly appreciate it!

[@nathanlalonde7212]

Just finished Tears of the Kingdom, i'd put its final boss in the top 5, maybe even top 3. The entire game is amazing and makes BOTW look like a rough draft

[@Chris-gx1ei]

Bro, Ganondorf Flurry Rushes you - OUT of your own Flurry Rush, destroys your hearts permanently and annihalates your arsenal with his gloom, only the Master Sword is invulnerable to this. Despite some flaws that make him easy to defeat he is definitely on number 1 for me

[@mrnobody4125]

Twilight Princess is my favorite to replay. Then maybe Link to the Past or Wind Waker.

[@KnuckleSandwich09]

Malladus was so cinematic and epic

[@erkscollectibles]

I go back and forth with OOT and MM as my all-time favorite Zelda games, but I think WW wins best final fight for me! Great video though!

[@Guns_Of_The_Patriots]

My Top 5: 1. Ganondorf (Wind Waker) 2. Ganondorf (Twilight Princess) 3. Ganon (Ocarina Of Time) 4. Majora (Majora's Mask) 5. Demon King Ganondorf (Tears Of The Kingdom)

[@adarkian7785]

Twilight princess has the best secuence of combats in the entire series, Zelda, Ganon, horse battle, 1v1 epic sword battle; just amazing, my personal favorite, nice video!

[@thezapzapman]

It’s an amazing final sequence for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@Jontohil2]

It’s crazy to think we went from the most underwhelming final boss in a 3D Zelda with BoTW, to arguably the best in the entire series with Tears of the Kingdom

[@kennyatlas7130]

I really like this list! It feels like it's judging the final bosses on their own merits, not driven by nostalgia or any general opinions on the games themselves. I feel like that top 3 could be tossed up there in any order based on personal preference, but I definitely think those are the top 3 final bosses.

[@thezapzapman]

Hey thanks Kenny! I appreciate the kind words, and I agree, the top three are 100% interchangeable depending on taste.

[@meatycheerios199]

Yea, i was expecting him to be like everyone else and put oot ganon at #1. I like the fight but its too easy and majora definitely takes the cake ong 👌

[@cole6843]

Pretty dope boss battles

[@markgruner5812]

Twlight Princess and Wind Waker are the bessssst

[@mythric1539]

This channel is underrated af

[@thezapzapman]

Thanks! 😎

[@Antrod]

For me, Ganon in Ocarina of Time was extremely difficult! I ran out of light arrows. So not only did I not have The Master Sword, I also didn't have the light arrows to weaken him! I had to play around with all my items to figure out what stunned Ganon so I could get behind him. It was even more intense for me!

[@skeptikal1152]

Majora's for me is Def top 3, but I think it's kinda silly to include the various stages of other bosses (Vaati, Onyx, and Majora) and just use only the cage fight from Twilight Princess. The final boss of TP is Beast, Puppet, Horseback, AND the Cage fight they're all Ganon the same person one after another. That fight has so much variety, the ending blow is almost as satisfying as Windwakers, and I think that TP was SUCH a good fight that they basically used the exact same fight in Skyward Sword. Better visuals and the lightning thing was cool, but the clashes Imo just felt... Amazing.

[@supasid6591]

The lady is better than at least the next three bosses ahead of her. Her theme is so good

[@strawhat8070]

TWW getting the respect it deserves nice

[@bonnieeyre9229]

There was three ganondorfs when this came out lol, oot, wind waker, ane tp. Now there’s totk too.

[@kruegerpoolthe13th]

I wish I could play Twilight Princess and Wind Waker Maybe Nintendo will release a 3D all stars collection for Zelda one day

[@thezapzapman]

I would love, love, LOVE to have those two HD remasters on the Switch.

[@Connman07]

I remember majora being kind of a let down with the fierce deity. But it has been a while

[@thezapzapman]

It was a little bit, but I still love it regardless.

[@RaffyTheSeagull]

My top 5: 1- Ganondorf (Wind Waker) 2- Bellum/Linebeck 3- Majora 4- Ganon (Ocarina of Time) 5- Malladus

[@chrislecount4801]

I hope we see Dark Link again.

[@xUnino2001]

nice video! with zelda totk out, if you have played the finale what would you rank the finale of totk?

[@thezapzapman]

I’m working my way through it now, but only about 15 hours in! I will definitely post a recap/thoughts video when I’m done. 👍

[@xUnino2001]

@@thezapzapman oh looking forward too it! Goodluck👍

[@chuckchan4127]

TotK is is easily #1. Nintendo nailed this iteration of Ganon.

[@g.davidturnblom5751]

Have to agree about Majora's Mask. An epic battle to end an awesome game. Just wish the final scene and outro were better.

[@puzzle_boy]

Naahh Twilight Princess is the top 1. Not only because the sword fight at the end but the confrontation from the beginning. The battle against Beast Ganon, then a Zombificated Zelda, then a Horse chase with bow and arrows attacks and FINALLY the sword fight in a jail. It's varied, challenging, entertaining, dark and epic. TotK, Majora's and Wind Waker are second tho.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

Majora is scary but... compared to other villains... he is more of a Joke, you can literally just run up at him with your small Kokiri Dagger and stab the shit out of him, at least Ganon has at some point a lorewise invulnerability to anything that is not based on the Element "Holy Light", for Majora you dont even need to collect the other masks to become Fierce Deity Link, you can kill him with anything you have.

[@genericbushfire3055]

Spirit tracks is such a weird one honestly because it can either be seen as a really long final boss if you look at all the different stages or a really short final boss if you just look at the final Cole-Malladus part of the fight alone. The teal was a strange choice though honestly. And the moment Cole-Malladus was defeated I was like “Huh. This goofy looking teal skull thing is the true form of what was so threatening???” Bit underwhelming. Still, the whole lead up with all the phases was cool, so much drama with the cutscenes in between

[@genericbushfire3055]

I’ve fully finished the video now so I’m going to add here: This entire ranking list seems pretty accurate to me! Nice

[@rjd-kh8et]

1:33 I mean, you could always NOT do the corner trick if you want Dark Link to be a more challenging boss. FYI, it seems to be a bug as it doesn't work in the Japanese version.

[@hydrelisk]

Exactly, it does not work well on JP version. And on western version it is a tip I saw in a magazine. Before I had forfeited several times dark palace alltogether because of dark link. Without knowledge or discovery of cheap trick Dark link is hard as hell.

[@dudester5334]

Haven’t reached it yet, but I feel the ganondorf fight in Toto will be my personal favorite

[@Isaiah-ih1eu]

Majora was the best final boss in the Zelda series in my book.

[@thezapzapman]

Agreed!

[@tmix406]

Majora with the fierce deity mask is hilariously easy though. Way harder if u dont use it.

[@robertcarione6288]

What about Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time? You only ranked his Ganon form fight, the first faze of the fight with Ganondorf would easily top the list

[@thezapzapman]

So I tried to keep the list to the final, final bosses. Ganondorf, to me, was the penultimate boss in OOT, especially since the two fights were separated by the escape from the castle. I do agree with you though, that his battle would be near the top of the list.

[@robertcarione6288]

@@thezapzapman Fair point, won’t argue with you there but I always considered both his human and beast form as one final boss fight but just two different fazes like most Zelda bosses are

[@thezapzapman]

Yeah totally fair to look at it that way, same with Twilight Princess for instance. I wouldn't blame anyone for grouping Beast Ganon and Ganondorf into one "final boss," or even putting Puppet Zelda in there as well. I basically had to draw a line for this video though, because the list would've gotten muuuuuch too lengthy if I included every part of every final encounter.

[@robertcarione6288]

@@thezapzapman Oh yeah, forgot Twilight Princess had both Ganondorf and Beast Ganon, it’s been years since I’ve played Twilight Princess
