Playing all the games, this Link always felt the strongest. Dude wasn't using any magic gloves or nothing and you see him lifting doors twice his size, catching a charging ox with his bare hands. Not to mention stopping full ass grown Gorons rolling at him. With iron boots on, it was just boots and this man still did it.

It’s like they’re implying he gets stronger with age hence the Majoras Mask and Ocarina of time references

[@wace9174]

He's like 4 or 5th for me if all the links had all their equipment. Definitely at least number 3 if they didn't. The top 2 slots definitely belong to the hero of time and wild, whether it be with equipment or not. We already know why oot link is number 1 with equipment, but aoc/botw/totk link is number 1 without equipment and oot is number 2. Botw Link is twilight princess link but just better, he can lift heavy stones, push 6ft boulders, parry charging lynel attacks, parry attacks from hinoxes, parry blights and calamity, and in aoc deflect a large piece of falling castle debris. Not only is he physically superior than twilight, he also is better skilled and trained, at age 4 he defeated trained adult knights in sword combat, pulled the master sword at age 12 (the youngest age a link has pulled it without having to prove himself worthy), also defeated a lynel at that age, and parried a guardian beam with a pot lid. He even faced a stronger threat than tp Ganondorf 2 times, the Hyrule only looks to be a country in tp while in botw/totk Hyrule is massive and looks to be a continent yet the calamity and totk Ganondorf took over it and can move the moon. Totk Ganondorf also faced 7 sages with demigod abilities by himself and nearly won, he is also described as a master of every weapon. Yet link can beat both of them by himself by the end of totk. Oot places second without equipment because he has more experience and is more skilled, alttp link takes 3rd with equipment behind botw, and then twilight. Twilight is really strong, just not as strong as other links.

My favorite part of this battle is that, after all of those theatrics, the final battle is you fighting Ganondorf, man-to-man, with swords, in a lightning storm. It's such a perfect climax in its simplicity.

[@LemursManLemurs1]

The whole boss fight is far too easy though. The Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker Ganon's were both a lot tougher. Not that they are all that tough compared to other games final bosses, but still challenging. Given that twilight princess had a darker theme, I expected more out of the final parts of the game. It had it's challenges, don't get me wrong. Just think that overall, the game is too easy

Ganondorf I thought wow the whole adventure led up to this. And I beat him in about 4 minutes ITS THE FINAL BOSS!!!!! They should at least make it a bit longer not like Darksouls hard, but maybe a bit more harder and more epic. Now you're probably thinking "Just use Ganondorf amibo and mastermode" Even then it's still too short and also that wasn't a thing in Wii or Gamecube so great job Nintendo, Don't get me wrong I love this game but c'mon its the final battle the whole journey led up to this!!!

Yea don’t know why people feel that Twilight Princess has bad graphics. I remember even when it first came out on the Gamecube that i read somewhere in a magazine that it allegedly had bad and outdated graphics, which puzzled me back than because it looked to me far better than any game i ever saw on the Gamecube or PS2 and the only difference i saw between this game and a game on a PS3 was that PS3 games looked clearer thanks to HD and HDMI ports, but that’s it. Now that we have this HD version it looks to me like a proper PS3 game which is impressive considering that the game was made for Gamecube.

[@thetubbs99]

Something that isn't stated enough is the physical power of TP Link.

Nobody denies that the story, atmosphere, characters, and overworld are top notch in TP. However, the gameplay and combat are lacking IMO. It would've been great for a pre-2000 game, but it felt stale and too similar to OoT and WW. Skyward Sword and BoTW stepped it up

well since botw takes place and the end of all timelines it means that since he canonically died here and was reincarnated in four sword adventure that the totk ganondorf isnt the ganondorf from ocarina of time since they cant make the game have multiple views of ganondorf one being that he somehow got his gerudo form back after getting rid of it in the fallen timeline or that someone revived ganondorfs corpse in the child timeline or well however botw fits in the adult timeline because the master sword isnt in ganondorfs head from wind waker and that there are seemingly locations from past games that shouldve been sunk but that part can be just renamed places because botw is so far in the future although the deku tree would be really high up when he isnt but geography isnt that important in zelda anyway because it allows interesting game design either way unless nintendo move four sword adventure to either the adult or fallen timeline and change botw and totk to be in the child timeline this isnt the ganondorf people hope it is

Fun fact, this is one of the few games that Ganondorf actually dies in. In most of the final battles he is either sealed away or some similarly temporary end. But in this game, he is brutally stabbed in the chest and then given a heart attack by Zant. However he still reincarnates later in this timeline in Four Swords Adventures.

AceofBlades X Sealed away is still like he's dead. Doesnt change the fact that he is cursed and gets reincarnated everytime so does link. The Ganon in BoTW is a failed, not completed reincarnation of him.

[@razrv3lc]

People always downplay her role but she gave a chunk of her soul to Midna to keep her alive. This Zelda is a badass. The only ones comparable to her are the Ocarina of Time Zelda and the Breath of the Wild Zelda (played Sheik to help Link on his journey and kept Ganon on a leash for a century nonstop by herself, respectively). Not to mention this one was never naive about her role, like the others always are. As far as I remember, she never made a bad decision in this game. This is probably the wisest of the Zeldas but that makes sense if she's supposed to be the oldest of the Zelda incarnations, I suppose.

Imagine if BOTW and TP had a baby for the next Zelda game. Like, find the middle ground between linearity/storytelling/character development that you get in TP and the open world/players choice of BOTW. Imagine a world on the same scale of BOTW but with original dungeon design and characters with depth that grow with you throughout the story. Imagine implementing the fighting mechanics found in TP but against enemies as difficult as they are in BOTW, or more so. If you ask me, Nintendo got it very right with TP AND with BOTW, just in very different ways. The two games are complete opposites as far as the Zelda franchise goes, and yet each game has what the other one lacks to be the perfect installment. TP is everything I want out of an epic adventure in which I am emotionally invested, and BOTW is everything I want out of an open sandbox where I can toy with the worlds rules and physics.

[@blundungus]

That pure sword duel. That is what is missing from most Zelda game. A true duel between Link and Ganondorf. That fight is one of the main reason in my eye why Twilight Princess is on the top 3 of best Zelda game with Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. edit: seems like some people misunderstand. Yeah, overall the final boss of this game was overall "too easy", but considering the Zelda game aren't made in the first place to be extremely difficult. It's more about the set-pieces. How the scene is set, the symbolism there. In most Zelda game, you always receive the help from someone -for example in Wind Waker, Zelda/Tetra is helping you, meaning the fight is a 2 vs 1. Here however, it is designed as a pure in-story duel between two Swordmasters. With no outside interference. Cliché? Perhaps, but cliché doesn't mean Bad. It serve as a perfect final for the archetype of the journey of the Hero that the Legend of Zelda always represented.

Then Ganondorf broke out, murdered a Sage with his right fist, got shocked by the Sages gettin' him sealed, gasped with the shock, screamed in his agony (the agony with anger, hate, rage, malice, AND shock), waited fer many years, gave Zant some power (which meant the Dark Lord wouldn't be too powerful ta kill, so Link could kill the giant with the Master Sword), came back, got his Gerudo bod back when Zant was popped like a balloon by Midna (which shocked her), stole the throne, possessed Zelda's bod as a puppet in the first round, got expelled from her bod, got bitten in his weak spot a few times by Wolf Link in the second round, turned into a flamin' head again (his form in the Twilight so he could pretend to be a god, which he ain't), fought against Midna, beat her, got shot with Light Arrows, got beaten in the joust with the Master Sword in the third round, fell off his black horse as the animal collapsed, got fatally stabbed in weak spot by Link with the Master Sword in the last round, stood up, said his last words, lost the Triforce of Power (the version he got from future OoT Zelda sendin' OoT Link AND Navi back to the past), realized he couldn't take the power back, waited fer his death as the Master Sword's power was finishin' the job, saw a vision with Zant's spirit snappin' his own neck, got unpleasantly surprised as Zant's spirit mocked his former boss (whick the Usurper King used as a gesture ta really insult his former boss), an' died standin' on his feet (like Whitebeard in One Piece) as the Master Sword's power finished him off. Zelda an' Link bowed their heads in respect, even with pity fer his fate.

In hindsight, I think this game complements Skyward Sword pretty well. There's a lot of lore information that lines up nicely with it, not to mention the similarities in their final boss battles.

I love Tears of the Kingdom, but I wish they did it like this. Versus Ganon as a beast, then whittling him down to where it's just you and Gerudo Ganondorf, man-to-man.

I was beyond happy with the final fight against Ganondorf in TOTK. It’s basically the opposite of this but in a good way, he starts off as a man, ascends to his demon form, and then in a last ditch effort to finally complete his goal, he sacrifices his entire being to turn into a beast to kill Link, but he fails and ends up paying an ultimate price for it. What’s 100% going to be his final death for a LONG time

8:16 I'm disappointed that TOTK game didn't had this scene

[@mahendrap1960]

​​​@@bread2374TOTk Ganondorf is easily get defeat by shooting arrow on his head, Dark Souls gamer found this fight Easier than Elder Rings Normal enemies, Ganon didn't has tennis match with links neither he turn dark beast ganon to throw links out of cave, he become dragon because he was loser who eat tears to run away from link, but it created plot holes how ganondorf knows about eating tears make him dragon only Rarue's sister knows about this and nobody else that game didn't explain about anything This game story has so many plot holes and terrible final boss fight it makes old Zelda game superior than Zelda BOTW & TOTk who did not had Big sand box open world but it has good story and memorable bose fight and music not like reuse same sounds from BOTW to TOTK , only thing good about TOTK use zonai engineering to torture koroke guy.

​@@bread2374"final death for a LONG time" Twilight Princess IS the final death of Ganondorf, Tears of The Kingdom screwed up by bringing him back. They pulled a Rise Of Skywalker moment for that game. "Somehow Ganondorf Returned"

[@nt8255]

​​@@saricubra2867 no, they didn't pull a star wars. It's simply a new incarnation of ganondorf, Same way we have a new link and Zelda every game.

[@Robinjhoe1]

I just love the last phase so much. Ganondorf had enough, no more riding, no more magic using or beast mode. Just two enter and one will leave the arena. So epic
