[@monogaming614]

For me it was honestly thunder light Ganon and monk maz because I cheesed the ganon fight in totk

[@denniscarpenter4494]

Shadow link in ocarina of time and zelda 2 nes was the biggest pains for me

[@somerandomperson93]

For me it wasnt any of the bosses on the list it was the final fight against girahim (idk how to spell it) right before demise

[@VoetballerLuuk]

thunderblight ganon

[@AydenWagoner]

In BOTW Thunderblight was definitely harder than monk maz koshia and in totk I do agree with demon king being the hardest even though it isn't that hard, but the Phantom Ganons were REALLY easy compared to the Queen Gibdo

[@a.jthomas6132]

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.

[@samyb4566]

So this means she didn't fully lost her humanity. She still remembers Link.

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.

The key to this is how he holds the sword. You'll be able to know what atk he'll use. Though the easiest way to this is just parry so you don't have to guess or make it a pain in the ass

Nintendo really had given us the best version of Ganondorf we have today despite the lack of in depth to his character. And let’s give praise for English actor Matthew Mercer for providing the voice of this iconic villain. 👏 👑

[@samyb4566]

Who know. Maybe he will be at the Game Awards and get a trophy for his performance.

[@riccardoflorio2800]

The lack of depth is shown more in the english adaptation. They did cut off Ganondorf talking about courage, souls and hell.

i still personally think it’s oot ganon since he’s the only one who’s canonically defeated the spirit of the hero

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.

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

[@reidkemper]

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.

LOL the first time i fought it that thing really caught me off guard when it started to move zig zag hit and run, makes me drop every single weapon in my inventory and beat me 7 times. That thing is the reason i perfected my dodging and parry😂

[@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.

[@AydenWagoner]

Thunderblight was definitely harder than Demon King.

[@nerdycatlover8627]

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.

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.

7:47 fun fact! Zelda actually aims where your analog stick it pointed when shes firing arrows!

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

Not the worst list, but I disagree with some of these. 1.) Thunderblight is easy as long as you keep a cool head. His fast movement is a pattern that always results in a horizontal slash, so it's actually a huge windup and the pillars do nothing if you don't actively stop next to one. 2.) Gyorg really suffers from the unrefined aiming mechanics, but he can be brought down with electro shocks alone, he's not that hard. 3.) If you picked up hearts, swords and armor along the way, Gleeock in level 8 is free. 4.) Mothula is hard, but even more so if you know that hitting him into his blade traps negates damage every time! He should be higher on the list! 5.) The imprisoned is free, all his moves are telegraphed and rather slow. 6.) Moldorm's only move is to push you off, so always charge the spin attack and move towards him to prevent the worst pushing if he gets you towards an edge. Other than that stick to the wall or the center, you'll be fine. 7.) Vaati is tough, but all patterns. Learning to fight him is fun. 8.) Looking forward to Maz Koshia, currently on the way to beating the game. 9.) Would've added King Helmasaur to the list. His size, tail whip and splitting fireballs restrict your movement so much, it's nearly impossible to dodge everything, especially when he speeds up after losing his mask.

[@Chris-gx1ei]

In my opinion Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom isnt difficult enough, he should be completely invulnerable to Arrows, have more HP and deal more damage, he should be Impossible for noobs and a challenge for both the Average and the Pro player

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. So for example: If you are riding a left curve and therefor hold your stick to the left, Zelda will also shoot to the left. Its so frustrating because you need to change directions really often in this fight.

[@AnIdiotOnTheInterwebs]

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

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.

All honesty? The master Kogha boss in botw, although I only died from being distracted of his muscles

[@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.😂

[@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

[@MemeGuy15]

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

[@johannesstaavibakken3586]

For me the currently hardest bosses were Demise both imprisoned and unsealed final Girahim and some of the other bosses from skyward sword Ganondorf tears of the kingdom before he turned into a dragon wind and water blight Ganon Mucktorock Queen Gibdo Moragia Sluge like Kohga totk Seized Construct basically any Gleeok in totk the angler fish from awakening. to name a few

[@FoguYanker]

Where's Majora's mask?

[@DaddyGorilla37]

Yeah, if you did that without Fierce Deity, it was quite difficult.

[@miitopiahero5134]

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

[@gussyh4500]

I remember having a tough time with phantom Ganon in oot 😅

[@ChromeTectonics]

⬇if you ran out of arrows while fighting Queen Gibdo

[@Dexter-mi2wf]

I completed the floating colosseum so many times I had like, 200 arrows 🗿

[@slugintub2836]

I remember.asking my brother if he thought i would beat dorf after a couple hours of failing, and he said no, and i beat him that exact try and yelled "NON-BELIEVER!!!"

[@ktwenter77]

No bosses from OOT??? They should have no bosses from Twilight Princess, on this list- that is the easiest (and best) Zelda title.

[@Hdcook123]

I tried doing thunderblight first when botw first came out and I raged quit for two years lolol

[@sjr2024]

The health bar going higher for demon king ganondorf and flurry rushing you😧

[@Primosmalucos2]

7:22 blade ball moment lol

[@glyberajones4031]

Foe totk ganondorf I had lots of stamina potions , bomb arrows , rocket shields and x5 savage lynel bows… essentially bombarded him with Bomb arrows from way high up. Mince meat in 2 mins.

[@YourAverageWeeb69]

ToTK Ganondorf goes hard asf because your heart stops the moment he dodges your flurry rush bruh

[@kyrotishi5898]

Ganondorf 3rd phase TP Zelda’s aim is based off of where you are aiming the either the left or right stick, I dont exactly remember 7:43

[@djentity303]

Yeah I was about to comment nah it’s you😂

[@vereshfamily6858]

Genuinely I have to say that the hardest Zelda boss that I fought was Demise since I got to him in less than one day 😅

[@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!🤣🤣

[@GamingDrummer89]

I found that the 2D bosses were largely MUCH tougher than the 3D ones.

[@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.
