Ranking the Bosses of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening!

[@BillySYT]

The prophecy has been fortold - Billy will make the Link's Awakening videos! Hallelujah!

[@OrbitalFrog_]

Heck yeah!

[@kindlestix8079]

A mini boss ranking would be good

[@catherinemitchell8952]

Agreed!!!😃

[@pokemondan6938]

I'd love to see a mini-boss ranking, especially since I feel like the mini-boss encounters in Link's Awakening are similar in complexity to the main dungeon bosses due to the limitations of the original GameBoy, meaning that most mini-bosses in this game are actually comparable to the foes ranked here imo.

[@BillySYT]

Most Minibosses > Hot Head in difficulty

[@OrbitalFrog_]

@@BillySYThonestly. Trine x should have been brought back

[@welshlout3400]

That goes double for the Oracle games as well - in a full ‘linked game’ playthrough you’ve got close to 40 unique encounters across both games + endgame. The OG gameboy zeldas went hard!

[@OrbitalFrog_]

@@welshlout3400 are the oracle games actually good? I’ve always meant to play them but could never find the time to.

[@welshlout3400]

@@OrbitalFrog_ Oh yeah, they’re both great and each is distinct by how they differently balance action and puzzle solving. Seasons leans more into the former, and Ages the latter. Well worth playing both back to back, imo. Seasons -> Ages is the canonical play order iirc; either way I believe that order has the better linked game version.

This was such a wonderful remake of one of my favorite Zelda games. The bosses are surprisingly solid for the time and system, and the remake does a nice job of updating them.

[@lostnumbr]

I dunno for the slime eye, even as a kid on the original gb, i found it pretty intuitive to split it in two right away...

[@RhapsodyHC]

Yeah, he’s just so dumb lol

[@mt2r-music]

Great video. I’d love to see some Minish cap too!

[@BillySYT]

I'm doing the series in order, but I'll get there when I can ^^

[@CorgiCodeGaming]

i love slime eye. its a crime you put it last.

[@nooodlelegs]

I’m so glad the Zelda rankings are back! This was the first game I ever played back on the GBC and I’m so glad we’re here. Would love the mini boss ranking and keep up the good work! I think my favorite boss is either the evil eagle or dethl/nightmare.

[@d5rmantis]

Just wanted to let you know the final boss isn’t called DETHL, it’s DETHI. The last letter isn’t an L, it’s a capital I, and it’s pronounced death-eye. I made that mistake for the longest time too!

[@sreeharipradeep]

btw dethl final form doesnt get one shot by the boomerang in the remake only in the original

[@BillySYT]

That's tragic :

[@whydatduck662]

Dark souls and Zelda are my two favourite things, so happy your doing Zelda ideas too now

[@BillySYT]

I've done a lot of Zelda videos on the channel last year. There's a playlist for them if you're interested ^^

[@whydatduck662]

@@BillySYT I never noticed those, I’ll check them out right away

[@OrbitalFrog_]

Well the hardhit beetle has a theme. For the reward of the color dungeon is a colored tunic, one colored red and the other colored blue. The red one increases attack and the blue one increases defense. Now when the hardhit beetle is at 8 damage taken he is blue, but when he is done to his last couple of hits he is red, and firing those cross projectiles lime a machine gun. The blue signifies defense and safety, while the red signifies attack and aggression.

[@Xamer_Main]

10:25 And boomerang

[@digitaladventurer2142]

They actually nerfed Moldorm in the Switch Remake. In the Gameboy version's the entire room was already open pit area making it far easier to get knocked off and have to restart the fight.

[@DARKKNIGHT_69]

For the second phase of Facades fight, he could of roared and the titles would respawn but instead of covering the floor they cover the ceiling dropping down and exploding on contact in a cross shape or plus shape containing enemies from past dungeons.

[@shiroamakusa8075]

Or just have the floortiles start crumbling a second or two before the face reappears.

[@AidanCrisp]

Yes miniboss ranking pls

[@Godofhamrz]

Will you make the mini boss video

[@BillySYT]

I could consider it, but I think it'd be far in the future. Once I've done my Elden Ring DLC coverage, I'm moving on to the Oracle Games.

[@_lalapop]

the only boss I can remember is the face shrine boss for the dialogue

[@RULERZREACHF4N6146]

Mini boss ranking, please.

[@zanquinoe.s.7131]

The moment I saw Golden Sun for Switch Online guess who came to mind.

[@BillySYT]

I might have to make a Golden Sun boss ranking at some point

[@zanquinoe.s.7131]

@@BillySYT Golden Sun + Big TV + Pro Controller. Perfection

[@chrislevack405]

I think you can just sword slash the eyes on Slime... only need to dash at the thin space between

[@BillySYT]

Yeah, I realized that upon looking up other people's footage of the boss. But I attest that it's not exactly well defined.

[@chrislevack405]

@BillySYT I agree. Wonderful video, sir. Would love to see your miniboss ranking. Your placement of Angler Fish baffled me ;D Can't wait to see more =]

[@BlueJack222]

Hey Billy it's been a long time anyway have you heard the news of a certain franchise

[@BillySYT]

If you follow my Twitter, you'll see I'm definitely aware of the news ^^ Thinking about doing a video or two later in the year.

[@kylane8282]

Hi do you know when the blood born pole will be up or is it not on here the last time I asked when the demon souls video will be up since I asked that I have beat dark souls 2 blood born and I have 4 more bosses of dark souls 3

[@BillySYT]

The Bloodborne poll will be up later this month, after I've settled into my new house ^^

[@redbeardkingdom6890]

Man, sadly I've got to say that Zelda games just don't jive with me. I've played BOTW, Ocarina, Majoras Mask and this one and not a single one has really peaked my interest after a few hours of playing each. This one was my favorite of them all, but still just never clicked. Most Nintendo titles don't unless it's Pokemon.

[@Mikevl26]

Never clicked on a video this fast😅😅

[@BillySYT]

I knew some people were waiting on this one xD

[@kindlestix8079]

Hello there

[@RhapsodyHC]

It was painful watching you dash into the slime eye like a noob LMAO. The fact I figured it out on first try too. 😒
