Commonwealth realm: starts talking about Skysward Sword Me: it’s going to be Koloktos

[@mosiah9205]

I'll be honest, I was worried when I saw BOTW at the #1 spot. I thought "No way a blight Gannon is the best boss" but then... MAZ KOSHIA, BABY! I agree. Suuuuper fun boss.

[@johnfulcher8448]

throwing bananas at him is the best part

[@illusionofquality979]

tbh, I wonder if a DLC fight should could. I would just make it an honorable mention.

[@ambergrimes9238]

[@IssaalaaRacing]

DARK BEAST GANON! 😂

[@2014saints]

@@illusionofquality979 One could argue DLC bosses shouldn't be considered canon. But I don't think that should disqualify them from a Top 10 list

[@card44]

Oh, you mentioned the Gyorg pair. Those Rays need alot more love.

[@netweed09]

Honestly if that was 3D, best boss ever lol. Also: Spirit Tracks Ganon Train, I mean come on - how awesome was _that_ thing??! And of course, the amazing Skeldrake from the same game!

[@COYSMate05]

Stallord is my favorite boss of all time, not only because it's a cinematic and cool boss, but also because it's just really fun to play

[@damianpeeters6228]

the whole level is sick

[@nicolos.4022]

@@damianpeeters6228 i agree, one of the best bosses of the entire series. Whish it lasted longer, but overall it's pretty fun and cool. The only thing if I had created it I would have made a phase even in which it flew, maybe over the entire desert, only to fall in the Arbiter's ground at the end

[@RhythmGrizz]

Automaton Joseph: "automation" -_-

[@raaston9761]

the automation was the best boss fight ever i mean seriously you rip it's arms off then you beat its weakesport then you do it agin and use his own swords to kill him and i wish link kept the swords the game would be so much easier

[@Primucron]

@@raaston9761 Op wasnt arguing with the pick, just poking fun at the host misreading the character's title. Hes an automaton, not an automation.

[@timetrnr7380]

I personally rank Zant as the number one Zelda boss (including final bosses.) He is just so good!

[@codyadams5129]

stallord makes up for lack of difficulty by just being really extremely fun. one of the most fun boss fights in the series. its a high octane roller coaster ride mixed with a boss fight

[@anibalhyrulesantihero7021]

The second battle with Ghirahim was the best battle with Ghirahim in my opinion.

[@onigiri2032]

His second was the most fun but his final fight was hard as fuck

[@ashleygamemaster]

I love second Ghirahim

[@ipreferboobsoverassactuall1143]

The third one was the best and fwi I actually beat the first ghirahim fight In 30 seconds

[@MatthewRichardson1]

10:50 after this fight twilight Princess peaked for me in terms of epicness.

[@tffan1029]

@cherri bomb Cool. Uh, no pun intended.

[@pjgaming1044]

Yes! Finally someone giving Zant and Ghirahim some notice by putting them in a top 10 Zelda boss list.

[@victor.trujillo]

You didn't mentioned the Twinrova from Ocarina of Time.

[@MrServantRider]

Another excellent boss fight!

[@Ghost-je5wo]

I actually found the twinrova fight quite boring, fight me. It was slow and you have to be patient and just easy.

[@laakyz]

Lol i like it too. I read it as twinmold from Majoras Mask so I was like really

[@saltysaltmaker3848]

I like Ramrock because it was a puzzle boss without being boring AF. If minibosses count, Blue Stalfos was pretty neat.

[@tylersimmons7226]

I’m surprised the big dragon from twilight wasn’t on here. That was a vattle

[@Gallagher2x2]

Tyler Simmons Agreed, 100%

[@GldenRetriever]

I liked the TP water dungeon snake over the WW sand snake. Surprised the OoT witch twins or the fire dragon wasn't mentioned.

[@wilhelmdietz4023]

Well, they mentioned they are not fans of twin bosses and Volvagia was kinda meh.

[@k.b.7718]

Ya, Twinrova is frickin awesome. What's not to love about this fight. Definitely one of my top 3 bosses.

@@nickieb2636 good, yes. Zelda-level quality? Maybe not.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

I liked the bosses. But the only ones I would put in a top ten list are Thunderblight, Calamity Ganon (who is a final boss) and Moni Maz Koshia, my personal favorite Zelda boss.

[@Chosen2axe]

Armaghoma from twilight princess will forever haunt my nightmares, and that disturbing music too

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

Even counting final bosses, Monk Maz Koshia is still definetly my personal favorite. Possibly even my favorite Video Gaming Boss Battle Ever. It just has so much darn sheer variety to it, and it's just an incredibly fun fight overall. I really loved your choices overall.

[@ipreferboobsoverassactuall1143]

That’s a dlc so I don’t know if it counts mine personally was blizetta from twilight princess or the demise fight In skyward sword

[@vannotevideos4838]

Nice vid! Quick note: Usurper: pronounced you-SIR-purr Facade: pronounced fuh-saw-d

[@ShiruAbend]

This is the very first time I'm watching a top Zelda Bosses list where Koloktos is placed as low as 4. I love Koloktos, but it's good to see some other good bosses in the top 3 for a change.

[@asmund8436]

Molgera should be #1 just because of the music

[@volfgang1393]

[@hyrulefield88]

Love this channel

[@commonwealthrealm]

We love you too :)

[@okaythisisme894]

Zant is the best boss fight and the music from the Zant fight is also very epic

[@ClockworkChandelure]

I think that the extra eyes in the 3d remake were added to create a visible link (heh) between the bosses and Majora. Look at them, and then look at the eyes on Majora's Mask: don't they look familiar? Plus it's a case of "eyes don't go there", which increases the unsettling factor, and as why the weak point in Zelda games are often eyes... yeah, well, think about it. Imagine someone stabbing you in the hand, or in a leg, versus them stabbing you in the eyes. Guess which one hurts the most and is potentially more lethal.

[@inarencommander4663]

Koloktos Koloktos Koloktos. Edit Only number 4? Oh well, it made the list. 👍

[@JustJulyo]

The first time beating the first part of the zelda dlc I wasn't completely satisfied but then that boss song plays and was left wanting this for my future zelda bosses

[@LukeTM968]

Twilight princesses bosses are amazing imo

[@emrikthingelstad9013]

This channel is the best😍

[@harikohli541]

Again, like the dungeons, I do believe TP and OOT might have the best bosses in the series. TP has really easy ones like oot but they just feel so grand and epic and amazing that I absolutely love them which played a huge role in it being my favorite Zelda fame. Oot also has some bad ones but some phenomenal ones. Anyway here’s my top 10 and like dungeons I’ll only pick one from each Zelda game otherwise Tp and oot will crush it again 1. Zant 2. Koloktos 3. Monk Maz Koshia 4. Phantom Ganon 5. Goht 6. Helmarok King 7. Stalblind 8. Gyorg Pair 9. Cragma 10. Gleeok Pair

[@flauschewoelkchen9001]

Niiiice list. :) I dont' agree with Nr. 1, but the rest is so true. :D

[@JadenMoon1475]

Excuse me??? "Jumping from platform to platform, fighting 2 bosses in a 3D Zelda"??? *HELLO!!!!!* TWINROVA IN OCARINA OF TIME!!!!

[@remyschwab2662]

The Zant-battle was the most statisying

[@dylanstakely]

Helmasaur King is my #1 purely for design alone. I love it so much.

[@overklassuttern7714]

Nice video

[@MiguelMiranda-kx8so]

I am a bit dissapointed there was no Twinrova from OOT. I found the battle fun, creative and also humorous.

[@BigEvy]

Molgera was hard for me when I was younger because I never tried locking onto it . I was always trying to free aim the tongue and always struggled.

[@59rlmccormack]

Great work on the video! Jm’s favorite Zelda bosses? 1. Phantom Ganon 2. Ghoma from wind Waker 3. King dodongo 4. Stalord 5. Ghirahim (sort of) And 6. That giant Poe in wind Waker...

[@johnsmith5255]

For Phantom Ganon, here is a tip to figure out which one is the fake when they are jumping out of the pictures: listen for the sounds of the horse galloping. The best way to do this is to use headphones when playing the game. Look in the direction that the sounds come from because that is the real one.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

Oh goht one of my favorite bosses...I always saw it as the ultimate accomplishment whenever I was able to get goron link up on his back and just grind his health away in one sitting lol

[@aliciacleeland2257]

Sucks it's not that simple in the 3ds. Unless you knock him in the legs!

[@sagetan1353]

Good choices!

[@Crazard]

Im not gonna lie but the wii games really had the best bosses - because it felt like YOU were inflicting this much damage, and that was awesome.

[@rpgfan007]

the two witches in ocarina of time were my favorite also i really liked how to had to think during that fight cuz if absorb one element and absorb the rong element u take damage

[@shadowclonemaster]

When can we expect a release for Links Awakening Commonwealth?

[@commonwealthrealm]

Late 2019. So October, November or Desember. Since June is Super Mario Maker 2, July is Fire Emblem: Three Houses, August Astral Chain, September Animal Crossing, October: Luigi's Mansion and possibly Link's Awakening, November: Pokemon Sword and Shield, Desember: Link's Awakening

[@shadowclonemaster]

@@commonwealthrealm that sounds like a reasonable lineup for dates. We'll definitely get more information at E3

[@HudsonDiTomaso]

I’m thinking more August or September! Like a late summer release!

[@Urlastnerve]

I hope the developers of BOTW2 learn from the Monk boss fight and give us more of THIS in the sequel. The ONLY mark against that game were the extremely lackluster bosses. The very few there were….

[@netweed09]

'Mark'?? It's more like a cataclysmic tear through space-time. If Breath1 *was going to be a 10/10: for me the absolutely ridiculous omissions of proper Dungeons and their Bosses _and_ the Special items they guard is an easy docked 3 whole points Only non-Zelda fans would disagree with that.

[@Urlastnerve]

@@netweed09 you can’t put THAT harsh of a stipulation on your own personal criticism. It’s your opinion. It’s not law. Yes, I do wish for the same things, but I still think the game overall is a 9.8/10.

[@netweed09]

@@Urlastnerve ​ Really? That high for a game that doesn't even let you dive underwater like the Zelda games I played on a Game Boy Colour in 2002 do?? 😑 Well,, we all have opinions I guess. But I believe this game was rated _far_ too highly. I hope Breath2 delivers massive improvements. So far from the trailer it does seem very encouraging, having better enemy variation and just far more Interesting and unique enemies like that weird Cave tentacle for a start! I like the Green Hand too. Promising.

[@pen_rook8898]

Watching this makes me wish I kept all of my zelda games... Man I wish there was a zelda collection or something so I could replay all the zelda games

[@tommyblack6135]

Stallord on the thumbnail and Minish Cap Gyorg in the hover-over preview? Yes please.

[@aliciacleeland2257]

Gyorg, At least in the 3ds is freaking annoying in the second phase!

[@PropheticMars]

The entire saga of fights with Ganondorf at the end of Twilight Princess were incredible. One of my favorite moments in gaming ever is when it comes down to just you and him, and you draw swords for the fate of Hyrule. Ugh. Good shit.

[@onewingedangel1518]

was hoping my boi Volvagia would make it, or Armored Gohma

[@tysondennis1016]

I’m gonna make some very fun and challenging boss fights for whatever video games I make. Here’s one: Tectrok. Resembles a giant, mechanical gorilla with drill arms on springs, a face consisting of a single eye, and Tesla coils along its back. Here’s its attacks: 1. Drill Strike: Uncoils one of its springs to send a drill arm flying at you. The drill refuses to be blocked, and if you’re able to dodge it, you can cut the spring to throw the drill back at the boss. 2. Earthquake: Stomps on the ground, rearranging the altitudes of the hexagonal rock stacks that you fight it on. A rising pillar will knock you into the air. 3. Tunnel: Digs under the ground, and ambushes you from below. Just before disappearing, it will predict where you will be when it emerges, so use that to your advantage. 4. Lightning: Fires bolts of lightning from its Tesla coils. Breaking the coils prevents them from firing lightning at you. 5. Shockwave (higher difficulty only): Charges up with electricity, jumps into the air and stomps down. This causes electricity to surge across the terrain. Tectrok will replace destroyed drills and coils in time, and to damage it, you can either try to brute-strength its chest plate or unscrew it via precise drill throws. In its second form, once the chest plate is removed, Tectrok electrifies itself, making it so that direct contact deals damage to you. It loses its Tunnel attack, but Drill Strike, Lightning and Shockwave all do extra damage. There’s even 1-2 new attacks gained: 6. Arm Spin: Spins around, stretching out its arms. Will raise and lower them in a bid to strike you, and if you’re close, will contract them to speed up and become harder to dodge. 7. Lightning Storm (higher difficulty only): Fires a ball of electricity into the air, which then becomes multiple lightning bolts striking at about the same time. Too beat Tectrok, you need to attack its exposed inner workings.

[@TheDrewjameson]

It never gets much love, but I think Malladus in Spirit Tracks is the most satisfying boss battle I've ever played.

Really great and original takes. I think I like your choices the best on this entire comments section. Only thing is the lack of original ALTTP bosses. I mean; Helmansaur King, Triinex and Agahnim are some of the most memorable adversaries in history.

[@Chris9017]

2 honorable mentions, King Helmaroc The Demon Bird in Windwaker, and Volvagia the Subterian Lava Dragon in Ocarina Of Time. Both of these bosses are on par with one another, are both VERY intimidating at first site, are challenging, yet A LOT of fun, and have awesome soundtracks to match. Those are by far my 2 most favorite boss fights from the Zelda games and should most DEFINITELY be honorable mentions.

[@7th_Link]

I really liked the battle with Twinrova in Ocarina of Time.

[@ThreeMusketeersGaming69]

🌊 *Morpha has left the chat*

[@Shadrio]

I definitely really enjoy the Koloktos and Final Ghirahim fights (the gauntlet before the latter makes that fight really harrowing), but one thing that really peeved me in the Final Ghirahim fight was how the music just stops and Ghirahim basically tells you how to defeat him in bright red letters... Like... come on, man... I ain't that dumb. Aside from that, I'd include Stalblind (from A Link Between Worlds) and a mention of Ocarina's Iron Knuckle. The former because it's an enjoyable puzzle and the latter because Egoraptor reminded me ages ago about what was so cool about that fight, and being the only fight I actually lost against (I played OoT years after release so most fights didn't end up doing much damage)

[@jerten237]

Argorok from TP was epic too
