The Legend of Zelda Tears of The Kingdom - Demon King Ganondorf Boss Fight

[@tinoodle383]

for the first time it feels like ganondorf isnt messing around and knows he has to go all out. my jaw freaking dropped when his health bar started growing WAY past the normal limit.

[@orange_turtle3412]

I love how they didnt just make each hit take away less of the regular health bar but instead just straight up made it cover the entire screen.

[@Exl6243]

I'm also surprised by the fact that he can DODGE roll. No other enemy in BOTW or TOTK dodge rolled. Every other boss just takes the hit. It reminds you of the fact that Ganondorf himself is skilled, and just because you did dodge roll doesn't mean you necessarily get a free hit.

I love how ganondorf in this game is more prideful and arrogant than any other version. Hes powerful and he knows it.

[@Nebulae.incarnate]

This is just me, but, I feel like he talked about his power too much but didn’t show it as much. He’s capable of summoning an army that can flatten Hyrule but never does. I enjoyed the quiet, brutal confidence of Ganondorf from Twilight Princess. He’s big, bad, and knows it…and shows it.

[@KoraAzure]

@@morgan.mccandlessspoilers for anyone who hasn’t played Skyward Sword Since Ganondorf is the reincarnation of Demise, that makes a lot of sense

@@Nebulae.incarnateI think he already made a spectacle of his power at the beginning when he broke the master sword and mortally wounded link. What I would have liked to see more is Link’s power. He should have tried his same attack at the beginning of the game, then Link should have used his revitalized master sword to cut through it.

This legit feels like what the devs wanted to do with twilight princess Ganondorf. Yes he keeps that slow menacing approach only he doesn’t just stand and let you hit him he comes right at and the voice clips that play as he hits you or you take too long too hit him. This is the final Ganondorf boss we needed

[@giovannajooj]

i got vergil flashbacks from this fight lol,the menacing walk

[@brianv9242]

I think this might objectively be the best final boss in the zelda series. The buildup, the tension, the music, the difficulty, the flurry rushing of your flurry rushes, the giant health bar they gave him for no reason at all, the aerial sky battle, everything was just so good.

[@MollyEtchison]

I also love how he will just casually say “DIE!” To Link while doing a move. I really like how he talks during the actual fight

[@dragonknight8280]

Dang reading this months after the game's release really makes me wish this was true. It's everything Twilight Princess Ganondorf wanted to be but also not at the same time. He was more prominent in this game but also not at the same time as he was significantly more prominent in the first game, which is surprisingly considering the fact that this is Ganondorf and not just 'Calamity Ganon'. The entire Imprisoning War is just a single battle and anything related to rebuilding Hyrule is nonexistent with a reused story mechanic for the MAIN villain, which doesn't even show us his backstory, unlike Ocarina of Time's Ganondorf which had stretched out lore between three timelines that fans carefully crafted by themselves because the story on his side was lacking. (And to be fair the story between the three is rather good between Windwaker's kind of just tired of everything attitude, Twilight Princess' vengeful, and more powerful Ganondorf. And of-course the one in which Breath of the Wild's Ganon is based on being the more beasty, mindless creature.) Tears of the Kingdom however lacks any motivation or backstory besides what we already had with Ocarina of Time with the Son of the Gerudo every 100 years already being granted power. That's quite literally it. We don't know if he faced oppression, or any aggression towards his kind. Presumably not because the ancient Gerudo back then were sort of just chillin' with the Zonai. So all we have is a corrupt tyrant with zero backstory, and a two phase boss fight before a copy and paste cinematic boss fight with yet another mindless 'Ganon'. Seem familiar? Right. The Demon Dragon is literally just Calamity Ganon. A mindless, hate incarnate beast with weak points which was most literally just copied and pasted in the EXACT same spot on the map, just in the air obviously. Not to mention the fight prior literally takes place in a stinky old overgrown basement with some wood infested with Mali-- sorry, I mean Gloom. Which sounds way goofier than 'Malice' in my opinion. Not to mention most of the entire 'sequel' part of the game is missing but that'd take an entire reply to cover. The fight against the Demon King doesn't happen in a flooding kingdom on top of Hyrule Castle itself, on in Hyrule Castle and then in Hyrule field, or on top of the castle which Ganondorf has claimed for himself -- no. None of those. It's a smelly basement and we don't even get to fight a mummified Ganondorf as a first phase, and no, Phantom Ganon doesn't count. Mummified Ganondorf with his eyes lit as a second phase would've been sick, and then we could've fought an even stronger base Ganondorf who could have used perhaps, martial arts tied into training in his nonexistent backstory? Or perhaps, some sort of Gerudo techniques, or even better... Magic as a Warlock, but unfortunately he lacks magic entirely besides the Gloom Clone of Zelda he was able to make before he got the Secret Stone, which again, we have no context as to how he made that clone in the first place since he didn't even have Gloom abilities before that. Ganondorf has all this malice and gloom inside of him before he gets the secret stone and it's just unexplained. Is he just an angry person, or did Rauru do something awful to him? Perhaps the development team was just rushed. But that's the thing. It could've been fixed with DLC, but they decided against it. They say they've done everything they've wanted to do. Which concludes this as: bare minimum laziness. Anyway to continue the boss portion of the discussion, then we could've had an even stronger and balanced fight against Demon King Ganondorf, y'know, the fight hyped up forever across five cutscenes of the same miniature battle for some reason recognized as a war. (We just won't mention the huge army that Ganondorf summoned that clearly eclipsed the world in a memory, nope, that army and the horse he had is just gone. The huge Gloom swipe he did with his spear? Gone.) Not does the 'Imprisoning War' also take place in some musty basement of ruins, but it has almost no context as to how everyone got there and survived against the army and MASSIVE Blood Moon. It wouldn't have been filler like Twilight Princess' Ganondorf somewhat was, it would've upped the difficulty slowly, since most, if not all players had already over prepared for Calamity Ganon in the previous game, they should've taken that data and used it for Tears and upped the difficulty. And I'm not talking about Soulsborne which is the usual misconception when someone says 'up the difficulty' for Demon King Ganondorf, I'm talking about just balancing it for a 'final 'fight'. You lose the fight? You retry. That's just what a game is. You can say it ruins the cinematography of a final battle, but it makes it feel all the better when you succeed, especially if you come back after maybe doing a shrine or two, or getting a powered up Master Sword. (Bathed in light for eons only to be weaker than the first game's master sword just for the same of fusing a bokoblin horn on the top, I guess.) Or perhaps getting a legendary armor set or... I don't know. Something Zelda-y, even if this is supposed to deviate from other Zeldas, it simply lacks flagship product, Triforce cliches, etc. Thank you for coming to my ZEL talk.

[@dragonknight8280]

Forgot to mention this because it would've taken up too much space of the already long reply: But not having us use our abilities AGAIN against the final boss is an actual felony. The fact that there isn't an Ultrahand or other segment of the boss fight that uses Link's abilities is awful, much like Calamity Ganon had no mechanics unlike Thunderblight did with his magnesis segment. (Flurry rush does not count, that's just a general gameplay ability.) Demon King Ganondorf is not only just a boss you can spam a lynel horn on and kill quite easily, but a boss you can just mindlessly hit and defeat with no thought or mechanic. (You can easily get a overpowered Lynel Fusion from the Lynel they literally supply you with right before this fight, not to mention the hordes of fusion they give you with the army, which is arguably harder than Big G. himself which is honestly weird in its own right, especially since the same happened with Calamity Ganon.) What makes this all the more funnier is that just like with the first game, if you don't defeat any of the bosses and go straight to Demon King Ganondorf glitchless, his army and bosses are much harder than him, and I honestly like that they brought that gatekeeping system back from the first game, but it's still laughable that Colgera can kill you faster than he can, especially in the much more difficult Gloom Arena which restricts mobility. Not even going to talk about Mucktorok or Gohma which are even harder and almost impossible to defeat. And of-course Queen Gibson which is perhaps the scariest boss in the game in the gloom arena. All of these leading up to Demon King Ganondorf makes him look significantly more bearable than they were, even when fighting all of his clones at once he is almost predictable if you were good enough to make it past the bosses. (We're not going to count your weapons breaking, since that just carries over from anything, and can be avoided just by raiding Hyrule Castle once and fusing.) Anyway to sum it up it's weirdly funny that Demon King Ganondorf is weaker than his minions. It was more under stable with Calamity Ganon, but Demon King Ganondorf has no excuse.

[@theblackmoonrising]

Objectivley the best final boss in any 3D Zelda game that's for sure. I always find the majority of Ganon fights underwhelming honestly and pretty disappointing but definitely not this one. That being said, I still think NO final bosses even come close to Ganon in A Link to The Past

Dude, I actually struggled with this fight. I was down to my last heart with no more sun-based meals and he was down to his last sliver of health (2nd phase). It was either I nailed the back-to-back flurry rush or I was dead. It. Was. AMAZING. This is what Zelda needed: a final boss fight that was actually challenging. I loved every bit of this.

[@ratfarmer1]

I had a similar situation in my first fight, 1 heart vs one inch of health, it was so intense

idk about challenging, just flurry rush simulator. definitely has that grandiose 1v1 feel that final bosses from games like twilight princess, skyward sword, and wind waker had though

[@boomdx2109]

fr tho, I was just seeing how I failed to counter his attacks watching my hearts disappear one by one, after i reached 1 heart, it was just links courage and link himself, it was too epic, I remember finally timing a parry to deal that finishing blow

[@jamesjedi3960]

[@nahor88]

@@ClareAmel You're right, I wouldn't call it challenging either. Fighting a gleeok with no easy way to reach a high point is WAY, WAY harder. People that had trouble with this fight are either babied zoomers, or those that just rushed to face him without doing the proper leveling up of stamina and hearts/clothing.

[@CrasherX2000]

What shook me the most is that he does so much damage to the point where he can EASILY break the Hylian Shield, the strongest shield in the game

[@nahor88]

I think the better question is why were you trying to "shield" his attacks in the first place? You can literally flurry rush all of his melee attacks. Even if he does hit you, if you actually put the time into leveling up your clothing, he does very little damage.

[@D3ad._Hiroshi]

​@@nahor88well the second phase there's a part where u can't do flurry rush so

[@nahor88]

@@D3ad._Hiroshi Worth mentioning as well that by this point you should have an absolute arsenal of attack constructs available in your autobuild... honestly if anyone actually struggled in this fight, they didn't spend nearly enough time exploring and fighting monsters. The game INTENDS for you to do that, so if you flout it it's your own fault.

[@slimygastrodon]

@nahor88 I think what these people are saying is they are just dueling without any help from zonai devices. I’m sure that most of these people are thinking you are also doing the same. Plus it is truly hard to get a perfect flurry rush or part every time because his attacks are slow at times and fast at others. So try beating him without zonai stuff and tell me how you feel.

I soon realized that the strategy to this is to flurry rush his attack after he sends the gloom things that take away your hearts permanently, and then when he backflips you prepare for a fast attack with whatever weapon he has. With a spear, it's obviously a side hop, with a club, it's a backflip, and with the sword you can tell what attack he's going to do by the way he holds it.

[@Soulbaby3]

I went in with the master sword with a silver Lynel horn, barbarian armor, and 21 hearts and still had a lot of trouble, well done

[@boomdx2109]

the silver Lynel horn really helped me on this one, but I was just down to 1 heart

[@regularpumpkin]

6:12 wait- WAIT WHAT THE F-

[@1995Intercristian]

Link: *stay determined* Ganondorf: two can play that game ... *increase life bar*

[@aleela5943]

I went into this battle with only 5 sundelion based meals and instantly regretted my decision when I got smacked around the 2nd phase 😂😂

[@QR2011-]

If you get hit by those moving gloom thingy sand lose a heart (even when it’s broken, it straight up vanishes) are those permanent so if you win they come back

[@rooklink]

I love this, just when he first met link, he took all his health.

[@coreydabeast4696]

Not in the boss fight

[@princesscadance197]

This Ganondorf feels like the ‘learn the Flurry Rush timings or get lost’ fight

[@copycruel]

The funny thing is that I went into the chasm and completed everything unknowingly walking into the final battle. I didnt realise this chasm lead to Ganondorf and I even killed the Lynel and everything

[@jstar3382]

I entered this fight with only 4 hearts. Everything else was gloomed. Got 2 shot and it took an hour to beat him

[@igodreamer7096]

Good fight, Shirrako man 👍👍

[@Montymania94]

Now that the original test fight footage from Nintendo Space World 2000 has been found, I've only just realized... is his taunt in his 3rd phase a callback to that footage? I don't remember him doing that specific taunt since. 😳

[@xthax9718]

6:30 oh no hes gonna take my shoulder 😮😮😮

[@samyb4566]

Was I the only one who learned that you can hit back his projectiles with a melee weapon?

[@ok2chatt]

Really, I’ll just tuck this away in my brain bucket for when I fight him next. Thank you!

[@Heruchan19]

For the life of me I cannot do melee as I suck in flurry rush. I finished him with my 5 shot Lynelle bow and bomb arrows and some meals. I have 14 hearts

[@Livy_Lov]

when i tell you i shit my pants when his health bar just KEPT GOING???

[@ChaosWeeb]

When he did the “Come here” taunt I was so pissed off

[@TheBestCatfish]

The way this man nearly no-hits the most difficult boss in the game, who can swap weapons, and has the health of the average b-52 bomber is insane

[@micahDluffy]

6:04 this scene made me believe that it would take a miracle for me to finish this game

[@BreadPostsRandomStuff]

My reaction to fighting him First stage: pretty easy Second stage: oh cool- OH MY GOD HIS HEALTH Half way second: HE CAN DODGE MY FLURRY RUSH AND CAN DELETE MY HEARTS?? Third: eh it's kinda easy Edit me now All stages: ez

[@henryhunter9643]

Demon Dragon and Dark Beast Ganon are cinematic fights that are meant to be cool, not difficult. That's my take anyway.

[@aemonpenner1746]

1:27 reminds me of Godfrey’s cutscene in Elden Ring

[@domin8tion651]

Godfrey is heroic and fights with honor despite you killing his son Gannon just hates everything

[@majoraswrath6182]

I absolutely lost my mind when his healthbar kept going

[@Funtime_trap_Shorts]

Holy shoot do not look away from tears of the kingdom and get grinding boys

[@siegfreidsujide299]

Very powerful. This isn’t even his Suavemente form yet

[@CunoKPhotography]

The soundtrack man…. Brrrrr chills

[@TI50010]

I was surprised when he dodged my flurry rush

[@supportthecooldogelord8139]

Oh I didn’t realized that after he flurry rushes my flurry rush, that I can do a flurry rush again and fight, I parried the last part. Guess that improves me?

[@Ruan_Junes]

Can you do a version where you have the master sword in the beginning of the fight? The startup animation is different

[@SimplyUnsimple]

I like how the first thing tulin does when he gets there is get hit

[@xavierwoodman3701]

How many times did Ganondorf die in zelda games?

[@animezilla4486]

A lot you ask me

[@EldritchErik94]

A lot apparently. He will keep coming back forever.

[@xavierwoodman3701]

Honestly, no matter how much power he gets, every time he comes back, he's still gonna lose. I mean, when is he going to get that through his thick skull.

[@Mario87456]

And the reason why he will always come back is because he is the eternal incarnation of Demise’s hatred.

[@doctoreggman5537]

Yes

[@businessrat0302]

See, this fight is fun for me because the damage he does can't be healed unless you prepare the proper food I was at AT LEAST 4 hearts out of 20 by the time I got him to the final phase

[@leogonzalez4041]

I didn't know you had to flurry rush him twice in order to deal him damage, so I parried him until he died

[@NintendoNerd64]

dude will SHRED through your shields, EVEN a durability+ hylian shield barely stands a chance

[@coreydabeast4696]

How do you get durability+ on the hylian shields? Is it the octoroks?

[@alexanderfarah]

Son of a bitch broke 5 of my shields including my Hylian, Royal Guard, and Royal Shields

[@ericm6633]

Just beat the game, man it was intense! This game is a solid classic!

[@stevenlisten]

Baynetta origin fire emblem engage dlc

[@Gerik75]

Ganondorf: All these weak, peace-loving cowards running rampant... It would have been more... satisfying to overcome a worthy foe." Geeh... like someone else said, he is such a crusty old bastard.

[@agc2757]

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think to dodge his attack after the flurry rush and used only arrows in the final phase.

[@sepewrath]

Only thing that would have made that transformation scene more epic is he had walked through flames at the end of it lol.

[@bangtanluver]

I’ve been parrying his attacks because for the second phase he kept dodging me

[@totsugakusanagi1685]

Pure evil Ganondorf, il like it!

[@christophercacace1696]

Am I the only one that pulled out the Savage Lynel Bow and emptied Bomb Arrows into him. And it was still hard

[@mitchelleddings2998]

The only reason why I survived this boss fight is because I duped fairies..... I had 22 and ended the fight with 9.

[@Kira22558]

My Ganon back..

[@chong467]

When Zelda goes Dark Souls

[@minortos]

Im still happy Ganondorf can flurry rush but eh it’s the last boss and one try And the first boss of Elden ring 100 try and still can’t do it

[@halfmoon106]

This is exactly what Zelda should be, no flashy monsters or blob creatures or other bullshit, just you one on one against the Demon King in hell. Ganon's VA was great too.

[@BlitzøBucko-e9j]

What if Ganondorf revealed that he was the one who corrupted the guardians and killed everyone in the castle, possessed the divine beasts and killed the champions who piloted them? What if Ganondorf transformed into the pig demon Ganon
