In Phase 3 of TOTK’s final boss, the Light Dragon comes to aid Link in the final battle. I asked myself this question: “did she come back and maybe draconification hasn’t removed everything that is Zelda?” I believed it is her love for her knight is what drove her dragon instinct/consciousness in saving Link from falling and aiding him against Draconified Demon King. We all seen that when her powers were activated when the one she loves is threaten in Breath of the Wild. It could only explains how the Light Dragon was able to carry Link and prevent him for falling.

Tears Ganondorf was absolutely a joy to fight (the Gloom attacks straight up DELETING hearts was genius!), but he's not actually that tough. All of his attacks actually have rather predictable patterns and ways to avoid them. The most difficult thing for me was getting the timing down on the second dodge, because you have to identify which way he's going to swing (either horizontal or vertical) and react in about a split second.

I feel Demise (on Hero Mode) was harder than TOTK Ganondorf. I could only ever beat that guy by rigging the fight with potions. TOTK Ganondorf was an interesting fight by any measure, breaking hearts, flurry rushing me, flurrying my flurry rush, that long health bar, etc. But the fight doesn't make you work for your victory. Most likely you'd have killed him before you even get to see all his moves.

[@AnIdiotOnTheInterwebs]

Ngl I had fairly little trouble with Thunder blight as I had collected the full rubber set and while it took a bit I managed to parry the zigzag attack. I feel embarrassed to say that out of all the blights I only had trouble with water blight but maybe that was because I didn't have the best weapon set and in a later play through I found that all the blights are relatively easy if you got the master sword beforehand.

[@user-ve7up8gg4y]

Thunderblight was definitely harder than Demon King.

When TOTK Ganondorf did permanent damage, I knew this was a serious battle I somehow survived with 1 heart and a bunch of hearty fruit I was lucky to even live and I didn’t know there was food that eliminates the gloom effect but it was the best battle

[@HallowedKeeper_]

So Phase 2 of ToTK's final boss is actually a lot easier then people realize, for two reasons. !) The Master Sword never breaks in that fight. 2) You can deflect the gloom darts as I'll call them, but hitting them back with the master sword

[@derpyderps631]

You can deflect them? I just ran from them.

[@solomonshedarowich3632]

Fun fact about Maz Koshia, if you throw mighty bananas on the ground he will go for them and pick them up. Not only do the yiga do this, but it gives you a chance to attack him

⬇if you ran out of arrows while fighting Queen Gibdo

[@cooldawg5575]

Fun fact about the dark energy balls that TotK ganon fires in phase 3 (I think) if you hit them with a melee weapon they get fired back at him like homing missiles. They don’t do a ton of damage but it’s more on him and less on you.

[@nathanbell6712]

Hot take: I actually enjoyed The Imprisoned fights. I didn't chop off its toes but jumped on to its head from above. That's the much more fun way to fight him. And as for fighting him three times, how many other bosses in video games do you fight three times? I don't hear nearly as many complaints about other bosses that you have to fight three times.

[@Chaos89P]

I often found that jumping on The Imprisoned's head usually only works once. As for the toes part, I'm convinced you only need to go with that strategy without the Groosenator once.

Ganondorf in TotK was easy for me. I played TotK for 420 hours before attempting to beat the game. I had maxed out my hearts and armor and just wanted to get the game over with at that point, so I blazed through the last dungeon, auto built a tank to defeat army without getting hit and relentlessly pounded Ganondorf's forms until he died. I ate strength meals, and didn't bother blocking or doing flurry rushes since I had plenty of hearts to take gloom damage. He went down quick.

[@ReeseDavidson]

IMO, Ganondorf in TOTK was not that hard of a boss, but it’s extremely cheap because if you enter the fight with almost all your hearts taken by gloom, you’re stuck with that. I had to go all that way to get to the fight, had all but two hearts taken by gloom, and then I found out the game won’t let you warp out to better prepare. The fight didn’t feel that hard, but I was forced to try and get through it without taking any damage.

If you get the full rubber set its much easier. The helm is obtained by a side quest in the Faron region where you pull an ax that was attracting lightning by the stable. The torso is acquired after completing the Thundra Plateau shrine quest if you locate the chest inside. The leggings are acquired by completing the Song of Storms shrine quest if you locate the chest inside. You can also make it easier by acquiring the master sword before doing any of the divine beasts. And its possible to parry the zigzag attack. I hope this helps and if you already defeated thunder blight I hope this information will be useful should you want to play through the game again

Me about to end your bad look on Zelda's aim in TP: In the Horsefight with our Ganondorf, everybody thinks that Zelda has a bad aim. However, what nobody understood: Zelda is supposed to aim in the direction in which the analog stick is showing.

Its so frustrating because you need to change directions really often in this fight.

[@topfranluis1]

I said it once and I’ll say it again: TotK Ganondorf is not that hard. He actually gets easier with every phase due to his disappearing hearts shtick in he second phase

[@Thelodis]

Why do people keep saying "crouch" in the corner against Dark Link? Do people assue that you have to hit him low since he comes at you with his shield high up? I've tried both a few times, and I think it's easier to just stand in the corner. It's easier to hit him and he doesn't hit you as often. Also, the reflect magic helps against Thunderbird, since it gives you the ability to block his fireballs with your shield. Even if you should try do avoid them, there's a good chance the fireballs will hit your shield instead of taking damage away from you if you get hit.

[@miitopiahero5134]

Of the three fight you have with the imprisoned I personally find the second battle the hardest of the three.

The only boss in the whole of the legend of Zelda series, that I have died to around 20 times is thunderblight Ganon in botw. I have never thought so much about rage quitting before I fought thunderblight Ganon. 💀💀💀💀

[@GDcasualplayer]

King Gleeo in TOTK deserves to be in the top 10 I think. If you're not prepared enough for the fight, you'll get toasted before even being able to deal good damage. Not to mention his stupid 2nd phase where he starts spamming air attacks

[@mr.dr.prof.patrick7284]

i must be insane on the sticksons bc i beat maz koshia and gannondorf on the first try without even breaking the master sword… i’m literally himothy

[@Lamz.Z1]

Thunderblight ALWAYS gave me a good fight.

[@andrewtithof9501]

I didn't find OoT's Dark Link hard I just found him kinda annoying also I had more difficulty beating the imprisoned in it's 3rd fight than I did with Ganondorf from Twilight Princess

[@zachroberts5001]

The final boss of link’s awakening is a cheat answer here but facing every single dungeon boss again consecutively is ROUGH

[@peterdavis7695]

Thunderbird was a tough boss sure, but what made him even worse was that you had to go through the entire Great Palace before you could fight him - this was the longest, most grueling, most confusing maze of a dungeon in Zelda 2, and probably the toughest dungeon in ANY Zelda game, by far. Hey, did you know you had limited lives in Zelda 2? Run out, and you have to start the whole dungeon over again. (Also you've probably already collected all the extra lives in the world already, so if you don't beat Thunderbird and Dark Link on your first run, you'll have to try again with three instead of, say, six. Or a dozen. At least Thunderbird stays dead after you kill him, even if you get gameover.) Oh, and good look figuring out HOW to hurt Thunderbird if you didn't know. I honestly don't know how me and my brother puzzled that one out when we were kids. (And they don't tell you the boss's name in game, so don't expect that to be a clue.) Hm. Also there was that annoying jar thing with multiple faces in Oracle of Ages that you had to throw bombs into. That thing was annoying as hell and killed me multiple times last time I played that game.

Gyorg on the 3ds version of MM almost made me rage quit 😂 I didn't even know that there was an extra phase, glad to know I wasn't losing my shit for no reason

[@PrincessLinney]

I spent an eternity getting ancient arrows, you can get them at the Spirit Temple, I think it was, in TOTK. Then you need a few lynel bows; I flattened The Demon King in less than ten minutes, and I’m the most rubbish fighter ever.😂

[@DanVR278]

Ganondorf TOTK took me about 10 trys.

[@LegendofVader23]

Demon Kong Ganondorf can also flurry rush you flurry rush and he can easily break you hylian shield. He is a complete nusiance but i appreciated the boss because of Calamity Ganon

[@Marawolfie]

My first time playing BOTW I did thunderblight first, I had no idea he was the hardest one to beat! I spent hours on that fight, completely discouraged for the rest of the game. Finally decided to do windblight next....🤣 Defeated first time around. Rest of the game went fine after that, all enemies felt easy after thunderblight!🤣🤣

[@andrewnash6698]

So monk MK was a difficult fight done brilliantly. It wasn’t given stupid mechanics or an unfair advantage, it was a legitimate test to actual skill, no luck involved. And I’d also like to speak for all of us TOTK players when I say we either nearly shat ourselves when ganondorf flurry rushed us.

[@voltstorm2519]

Honestly if you use a strong fuse on master sword with attack up armor and don't use the sages plus be good at flurry rushes then phantom ganon is just a joke

[@UCaNtDoIt777]

7:30 bro they be playing blade ball

[@NimiErickson-km5ci]

I would say that Queen Gibson was hard for me

[@Yoriichi698]

Bro I fought Denise like 20 times with the goddess shield

[@alexBb1999]

If you're not a pro at parrying/flurry rushing before the fight, Ganondorf in TOTK is very difficult.

[@cloneriggyisdead69]

Phantom Ganondorf, the second faze was the hard part for me

[@XDraptor20]

Totk ganondorf is definitely the hardest challenge I have ever faced in ANY, and I insist on ANY, video game.
