Time to give my thoughts on the list. 19: The life sucking weed, how many different bosses has the Deku tree asked you to kill at this point? 18: Good Design, Great music, and a cool dungeon... too bad Fyrus couldn't live up to the hype. 17: One big green punching bag. 16: Could have hoped for more from this big bad bug. 15: Neat use of the duel screens, can be kind tedious to line your shots up. 14: Calamari to go please, extra seed-soning. 13: Wait... no fish fry? Huh, but yeah making an only semi good fight worse is not what a remake should do. 12: JUMP, JUMP, JUMP! SLASH, SLASH, SLASH! and avoid the pit... programming bugs, am I right? 11: Someone get the salt for this slug. 10: A tri colored fashion headache. 9: Waiting.... 8: Not my pick for the worst but I guess not all flames can burn as hot as others. 7: Ah the infamous Boss of the infamous Water Temple. 6: Wait... he's a sea urchin? I'll take the Seasons revamp please. 5: This how you make a fire breathing Dinosaur LAME! 4: Finally getting a rant about a lame scorpion out for you, and than a repeat, repeat, REPEATING BOSS! 3: Ah! Makes sense why we had to wait for this one. SCREW THIS WORM! 2: Volvagia's lame cousin. 1: Hello George, the black spot on one of my favorite Zelda games. _sigh_ Good times we had back than.

[@blazesona12]

ummm.... mayhaps the consept of fyrus is to make you use 2 diferent items in cohesion to bring down the boss to deal damage with the sword and it being a straightforward boss also kinda helps its case vs blizzara (who imo is the WORST of the bosses in it but thats not entirely bad cause she's also a good boss) cause a fight where ya can manage to turn off your brain a bit while needing some neurons to switch between items and go to beat the head in while blizzara is kinda..... slow, somewhat dificult given its on icy ground, and can also be a PAIN to hit the boss with the item ya need to use for the fight which is unfortunate

[@OmegaGuess]

The only dispute I will have is while Gyorg is miserable, Twinmold in the remake is just...maddening. It's a war of attrition, and you literally just don't know if you're effectively harming it or not. Like literally, I have beaten him a few times and every time, he just seems to arbitrarily die.

[@Garfewloid]

I know! Both bosses sucked hard to me!

[@veronicahang7900]

Gyorg at least has the dubious honor of being frustratingly difficult. Get yourself some Chateau Romani, fill your seven bottles with fairies, and you're good to go. Twinmold doesn't really fit the theme in Ikana (you fight the undead king, then the boss of the ninja spies, then a reaper-like figure, then... Two giant flying worms? What?) and the remake really isn't clear on if you're damaging the red one. Oh, and apparently swinging the control stick as Link is swinging Twinmold around deals additional damage. NOT THAT ANYONE TOLD YOU THAT, EVER. With the additional issue that, in single cycle runs, Twinmold is the last boss you'll face. Tick tock, counting down, look, the Moon's falling on Clock Town.

[@watcherknight8760]

It was discovered by romhackers that the Red Twinmold's hit counter resets every time it burrows into the sand, meaning you have to hit him 10 times or throw 2-3 rocks at him before he burrows into the sand or else he'll fully recover, so if it felt like it took forever to kill Twinmold, it's because it actually could take forever

The Imprisoned. Just no. That fight, every time I return, makes me remember why I stopped playing Skyward Sword continually. If there's ever a remake, Nintendo needs to acknowledge this and make the fight either significantly easier, or give more interesting ways of actually succeeding. As it stands, there's not been a boss in any Zelda game that has kept me from replaying it for fear of how much I despise it getting in the way. The Imprisoned, however, has gutted multiple runs of Skyward Sword because I hate it just that much and I despise going through it, even to see the rest of a game that, having replayed it a second time with a more critical eye, I've actually come to love more than the first time I played it...janky motion controls aside. He'd be #1 on this list for me personally. Gyorg can't possibly make me want to never play Majora's Mask ever again. The Imprisoned actually made me want to scream at the top of my lungs at one point during the fight and made me literally rage quit a second playthrough of an otherwise great Zelda game. That's a real boss accomplishment right there, be SO damn hard to deal with that it makes the player quit the game in rage. Huh I wonder why that's not a mechanic in more recent games, huh, Nintendo...? Oh well, 2011 was a strange time for them indeed.

Getting to the ledge above then dropping on to his head and hammering the spike in makes The Imprisoned an absolute pushover in every phase.

64 gyorg is like the easiest boss in the game. Shoot him with an arrow and he gets stunned, then go underwater as zora link and electrify him. Do that 3 or 4 times and he dies. The main issue with the temple is more completing the temple in 1 cycle then the actual boss itself

[@latininxtc]

Most likely they struggled with gyorge because they were terrible at swimming in the zora form. If you time your jump right you'll land back on the platform before gyorge can come and swallow you up. Also for infinite supply of magic do the romani's ranch side quest before the dungeon.

One more thing about the 3ds Moldorm: there are 4 separate fights with it, one is an extremely easy fight in the final dungeon that doesn't even require you to leave the starting platform, one is the dungeon boss, and the other two are at the end of the Treacherous Tower, with the first in the easy 5 floor part with the same health as the tower of Hera fight, but the final one is at the 50 floor hardest difficulty, has more health than before, and in order to get all the rewards, you have to go through the 50 floor hardest difficulty TWICE!

I’ve never seen a countdown skip a number and come back later, it’s an impressive achievement. Although, coming in I was also expecting Link’s Awakening Moldorm to get panned for being a bit of a difficulty spike. For ones I personally dislike, my personal experiencewith Zelda games is limited due to my dad having a habit of playing the games for himself and then selling them off, but there’s Link’s Awakening and Link to the Past’s Moldorm fights either being too damaging for its spot in the game or too obnoxious whenever you take an unlucky fall, whatever the boss in Wind Waker’s Earth Temple is for just being super weird and not really making a lot of sense imo, and The Imprisoned from Skyward Sword mostly for how repetitive it is.

I remember playing ALTTP on Virtual Console on the Wii, and from the top of my head I recall Moldorm going back to full health when I fell - I'm not sure which version of ALTTP is actually ON the Virtual Console though, I presumed it was the SNES version though. Looking around online, I haven't found any kind of mention of regional or technical differences that resulted in Moldorm keeping his damage threshold. In all versions of the game, he would get his health back. It's possible you could've just been pretty skilled, or the damage difference between regular sword swings and the spin attack resulted in it dying a bit faster.

Okay this comment is pretty late so I doubt you’ll see this Scorpion, but the Imprisoned fight does have a way to make it more fun. Instead of attacking its toes, you can position yourself to land on its head and strike the sealing stone that way, although the latter two fights will require Groose to stun it otherwise the Imprisoned will just shake you off. This option is a lot more fun and action paced, or at least that’s why Chuggaconroy said during his Skyward Sword playthrough.

As I was playing through Twilight Princess, I got to Morpheel, saw the giant battlefield, and thought "Weird, why does such a tiny boss have such a big area?" and then I beat the first phase.

[@finalfantasylord1]

link between worlds even adds a cheesing strategy with the hammer completely stuns him making him stop in place long enough to get a few hits in

[@Xanaphia]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought A Link Between Worlds Moldorm looks like a cheeseburger! It was my first thought when I first played through it.

[@geekbyhart1004]

Him: AND WHY THE FUCK IS IT IN HYRULE WARRIORS?!?! Me: laughs until crying and out of breath

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

I've watched this countdown maybe five times at this point, and I enjoy it every time. Gives me hope for when you do the proper Top Nineteen Best Legend of Zelda Boss Battles

[@MasterAwakening]

I am probably the only person who enjoyed the imprisoned fights, sure, threes times is too many times, but I liked the sense of urgency in sealing him, before he got to the top, and using bombs to slow him down was fun too, but hey, thats just me.

[@Mangekyo0011]

Hearing you curse alot is really cathartic. 😆😅😆

[@dejaypage1575]

Yay more Green Scorpion. Good to see you are doing okay, my dude. Make sure to take care of yourseld

[@michaelnelson1127]

So your situation with Gyorg is actually quite similar to Itionoben’s situation with Wallace from Emerald: your favorite game of all time contains one of your least favorite bosses ever, but the positives (and possibly nostalgia) overwhelm that negativity.

Just subscribed for the next Fire Emblem journey🤟

There's more ads than headshots I've hit on bokoblins

[@ztyran]

18:37 Anyone who played A Link Between Worlds and/or A Link to the Past probably guessed where you were going with this as they fought one version of number 9 before

[@ivythay4259]

Glad to see you back.

[@joaocisne556]

finally a new countdown, was waiting for a new one

[@atotalfiasco4213]

I remember being scared of fighting Fyrus as a kid until I realized that I could immediately snipe his eye as soon as it started glowing again after his recovery period

[@gingerkays7362]

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who thinks that Between Worlds Moldorm looks like a cheeseburger

[@danielp6505]

This is the first video I’ve watched of this guy, and somehow I recognized exactly what the jingle in the first part of the outro was even though I’ve only heard it once

[@lethargicAilurophile]

Love the PASSION ! As a kid playing these games the bosses were sometimes kind of terrifying, i really hated bongo bongo and having to do the walkthrough of the temple each time i lost. Also refreshing to not hear about tentalus during the ss section 🙏🏼

[@maggiemcgonnell6754]

Glad you're back man, I hope you're doing better. I'm not sure I have a least favorite boss (It's probably the Imprisoned tbh) but my least favorite enemy is the Zant hands from Twilight Princess. I couldn't finish the game for TWO YEARS because those things gave me so much anxiety.

[@cybersketcher1130]

Glad I'm not the only one who hates Gyorg.

[@thetardisisblue1110]

bruh I'm wearing headphones watching this and when your voice goes really low and deep I can FEEL the bass rumbling in my chest

[@Mask0fFate]

The first video I saw from you was the Top 15 Zelda bosses, so seeing this video is kind of a nice throwback for me.

[@fictionfan0]

Fun story: When I first played Skyward Sword, I didn't go for the toes on Imprisoned; I just rode the air currents up to the spike. As for my least favorite boss, I'd say it's a tie between Moldarach and Thunderblight Ganon, both for largely similar reasons. I can never time their attacks well enough to block or dodge correctly. Maybe this says more about my ability to play games, but there's a reason a try to get Moldarach out of the way as soon as possible for the Hylian Shield quest and why I tackle Thunderblight last.

[@LonumStraws]

I’m honestly really happy to hear someone else talk about how awful of a fight moldarach is.

[@epiclinksam9805]

25:15 ...yes it does? It has a couple of sweeping attacks and attacks you with it when it digs underground.

[@ThePlantCommander]

I don't doubt that you might be right, but I've played through this game 4 times and fought this boss maybe 20 times and I've never seen it do that, lmao. It's just so fast and easy to uncover it that I guess it just rarely if ever does so.

[@epiclinksam9805]

@@ThePlantCommander Skyward Sword was my first 3D Zelda game, so I was still a newbie back then. I actually died a couple of times because I didn't know you had to use the Gust Bellows. It was during that time the tail shot out of the sand to attack.

[@bluebow5014]

Honestly I do still find your older countdowns entertaining to this day but holy shit it’s been 9 years???

[@gregoryhayes7569]

"None of the bosses in the Oracle games have made me angry, more often I just forget about them entirely." I see you've suppressed any memory whatosever of Head Thwomp, a.k.a. the Goron City Vase as a boss fight.

[@BlueKnight85]

FINALLY! Someone else who thinks Moldorm looks like a burger in ALBW! I've been thinking that for years! I can't remember the last time you dropped the F bomb. You made sure to use it with such convinction in this one.

[@Hilversumborn]

You know Oscar, your Punch-out countdown was how I discovered you, not your Zelda countdown.

[@loganandreassen2821]

For me it was the weapons month. Wish I found this channel sooner tbh
