Twilit Dragon ARGOROK Boss Fight - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

[@DukeDarkshadow]

Stallord may be my personal favorite boss of the game, but as far as the total package goes, you can't beat Argorok. This boss fight had EVERYTHING. From fighting a giant flying armored dragon. To battling on top of an ancient temple in the sky surrounded by an abyss. To the weather turning into a terrible wind-filled thunderstorm. To the epic and frantic boss music. To soaring around in the sky at a fast pace on your clawshots. To the epic victorious tune that plays every time you hook onto Argorok's back and slash into him.......this fight had it all.

[@VCVerse]

Stallord was my favorite too! I hate to say it, but Argorok was the WORST. Just because he was so tough!!

[@christopherbravo1813]

Oh, and Argorok comes back in Warriors. Sure he's the weakest giant boss in the game, but....whatevs.

[@TARINunit9]

I dunno man, to me Argonok gives off the vibe of "we put a dragon in the game with full enthusiasm, but came up with the gameplay mechanics half-heartedly." Climbing up the towers to get to the dragon's level is fine, but everything else sorta... feels deflated since Argonok just hovers in the center. I accept that we can't have the Hyrule Warriors thing where he bears down on you and your army like a fiery god, but can't he at least circle the arena like a bird of prey? Take potshots with fireballs to incentive you to climb fast?

[@selkirkswift]

TARINunit9 agreed, this boss was lack-lustre and non threatening.

[@jacktheomnithere2127]

I may not have played Twilight Princess, but I can say that Argorok is my personal favourite boss and personally best dragon of the whole franchise.

[@Lee-sf7nw]

i won't lie, this game had a few iconic boss battles. As a kid I couldn't appreciate those boss fight mechanics, but as am experienced gamer now, I can say how I appreciate Zelda boss battles now.

[@chocobro___]

1 thing they could have done to make the botw boss battles better is to have just added KEY items that never break or have a cool down, that you NEED to follow the bosses strategy, let down cuz all 4 blights, kohga, calamity Ganon , and beast Ganon all have the same REALLY easy strat of shoot it with an arrow to stun them, when they stunned attack and hope your weapons last thru the fight And some ppl might like that new approach but me as a long time Zelda fan loved that about past dungeons and bosses how the items just fit in so well to the dungeon open world and bosses, not gonna lie tho the runes are fucking awesome

[@5moremins168]

I just said this is bad or this is good as a kid I don’t care if anything is good as long as it’s cool I’m ok

[@antonionatalvenancio6131]

But this boss fight was dogshit, stallord was way better, once you know what to do to fight these bosses, in case you are replaying the game, it's super boring to just do the same shit over again, that's my biggest issue with tlz it's not really fun to replay these games because the puzzles are fun but doing them all over again is just so boring, this game gotta be the best zelda in my oppinion because when i replayed it, it wans't as easy as the other games

[@enzim182]

Funny fact I was so obsessed with the Zora armor that I used it since the moment I got it. When I battled this boss I got hit and I lost 8 hearts 😅

[@samuelblanco261]

Well that explains why I couldnt land the last hit on this boss 🙃

[@Valmo_Aival]

Something similar happend to my i didn't know that armor have weakness against fire

[@enzim182]

Valmo Aival yeah and to think the game never tells that. This element weaknesses were implemented way earlier like in OoT or MM and got popular in BotW.

[@Pionterus]

@@enzim182 It does tell you the Weakness, but only when you obtain the Armor

[@Kruegernator123]

The Zora Armor is also weak to ice attacks. You will take tons of damage if you get hit by a Chillfos in the Snowpeak Ruins. The armor is also weak to lava. If you fall into it, it’s an instant game over.

[@edwardhernandez6668]

My first Zelda, my first love. TP will always be my favorite.

[@bardwayer]

I did a no Z target, no damage during bosses run of TP and having to use motion controls to get from pea hat to pea hat and outpace the fire was the most intense Zelda experience of my life.

[@trahnettilhcs]

Bardwayer I’m bad at video games and didn’t realize you could z-target the peahats at first. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of how freaking hard it is to do this using just motion controls, I had to climb these towers way too many times before I figured it out.

[@MuddiedProphet]

@@trahnettilhcs Same. I found this video to see how to do it because I didn't know I could z-target with the double hookshot and kept getting blasted while swinging from each one. I was losing my mind.

[@NetBattler]

How the hell are you able to clear the game without using the Z target?

[@Dr._GroovyDude]

GameCube/WiiU maxxing ftw

[@adambrooks822]

If Nintendo would release the Zelda HD Remakes on the switch, the would make an instant $120 from me and many others

[@neoncloud_2212]

they need to make one with this same art style, that would be cool

[@dantevic]

WHy say hd. Wouldnt it be hd by default if it was Remade now.

[@adambrooks822]

Because that’s literally the name they gave the wiiU versions Twilight Princess HD And Wind Waker HD

[@dantevic]

@@adambrooks822 isnt that because they are remasters?

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

@@dantevic because they havent remade it obviously

[@theyammi437]

There’s something about the music that really fits the theme of the weather.

[@grewlife2366]

Wait why is this the morpheel battle theme?

[@Sigma0283]

This was by far my favorite boss fight in the game. Link fighting a dragon, how awesome is that?

[@jamie.fischer06]

Right?

[@MrEkirt]

Nintendo would never repeat this 🗿🗿🗿

[@brendanreilly4675]

Only other time he did this was with volvagia in ocarina of time. And before someone corrects me, yes I know there’s one other dragon boss in the series, I’m just only familiar with the 3D games

[@tailsfan11westandwithukraine]

@rael-albertCome to think of it, roughly 4 to 5 years before the release of Twilight Princess, a different series also made by Nintendo had a three headed dragon as the final boss. There was a two headed dragon as well, actually. Nintendo really loves fantasy stuff, don’t they?

[@WCircuit7224]

To be fair dragon fights are a staple in the zelda series. The OG, 2, Ocarina, Seasons, Minish Cap, Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the kingdom all have some form of a dragon. However this boss is special considering its more like the image you'd think of when you hear the word Dragon.

[@jakejudy5455]

Botw +tp dungeons, story, and characters wouldda been the best!

[@Medoliena]

Jacob Judy very much agree! BotW‘s gameplay is amazing while TP‘s overall storyline is epic

[@ZeldaLore]

I want a remake of twilight princess in an open world. Having the full overworld covered in twilight and choosing what area to save first. The dungeons would have to be reworked to be able to go to said dungeon in any order, while still using the dungeon item exclusively. Or temporarily lock the areas you can go to and make the story more linear like in TP, while retaining the open world. Once you have the twilight removed you can explore the world in its entirety.

[@AAA-vf2qr]

And music

[@giornogiostar3214]

And MM story.

[@nicerhabara]

And MM sidequest

[@lawb91]

This absolutely makes me mad how they didnt include the clawshot in BOTW

[@randehmarsh40689]

This dungeon as a whole feels under appreciated. I feel like its largely in part of the set up process for this dungeon being ridiculously long (At least as I remember it)

[@Sairin13]

Can't unsee the way the grass blows at the beginning, this game had its silly moments but I love it

[@IsabellaGranger12]

Just came to this video now after playing TP like 5 years ago for the last time, because oddly enough, I had a dream today about me beating this boss all over again, only that the dragon was quite larger and...the fight was inspired by the Ganondorf's fight in Skyward Sword in which there is a surrounding storm that you take advantage of by charging your master sword with the lightning to strike your opponent. Yes, it was a good dream. I guess I feel like playing Zelda games again. That is literally all. Hahahahah.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

2:30 Link: Looks like I'll have to latch onto his tail a third time, he has just enough armor left. Argorok: Oh no, we're not doing that again! Skipping to Phase 2!

[@Feber2001]

4:55 Is it bad, that I find this satisfying?

[@kamattori]

No, i find it too!

[@DefinitelyNotFort]

Are you a real Zelda player if you don’t find clawing onto the back of an intelligent dragon that learned from its mistakes like no other boss before and cutting loose onto its back and you don’t find that satisfying....

[@donaldson9410]

Not really.

[@macblink]

It's supposed to be satisfying 😆

[@Feber2001]

Awesome. Slay that dragon!🗡🛡

[@Zaloomination]

The thumbnail had me thinking link was fighting Ridley!

[@zacharylocke5512]

Ikr! Imagine if Samus showed up outta nowhere.

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

Well it sure does look like him

[@ChaseBeyond]

I had a save file copy just to replay this fight over and over. Never felt that so much for a temple boss

[@ArmaBiologica35]

But, there is one they fear. In their tongue he's Link. Hylian born! He, Ha Heya!

[@nm5329]

Hey, you're finally awake.

[@PLASBEZ]

Stay out of trouble, Hylian.

[@CalumHGaming]

Imagine if Link was afraid of heights, this would suck for him

[@UltimateEnd0]

I like to imagine TP Link is deathly scared of heights and has vertigo but he has mastered not looking down

[@Joe-l5z]

Minish Cap during the sky battle, when he had barely any control.

[@NetBattler]

Then there's no point he had one of the triforce...

[@luciacamacho444]

​@@NetBattlerCourage is not the lack of fear, but the strenght to face it.

[@aaakirafilm]

going from peheat to peheat while the dragon was breathing fire gave me the MOST ANXIETY LMAO

[@ladygremlin8287]

Ikr idk but it was kinda fun. That boss fight have me such a rush of adrenaline that I literally felt myself go into fight or flight mode. Its been a while since playing due to my GC poofing but if I played it again I'd probably do a lil better than my first playthrough

[@damienb6184]

THANK YOU the way my heart felt like it was gonna explode when his fire breath would start catching up with me 😱

[@loki350]

Damn imagine this fight with the hang glider. More attack sequences, with you actually having to dodge it as it takes diving swipes at you with its claws. Faster paced

[@VictoryUpGamer]

I miss the double clawshots they were the best items in the game

[@burnout713]

Such a phenomenal boss.

[@thedesmeister4409]

Anyone notice that when you're on Argorok's back and your stabbing the shit out of him, his wings don't flap, but he's still flying? Also, I'm going to Walmart to get SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY in twenty minutes!

[@crabcake3571]

BurningPillow I’m wondering the same thing

[@condescendingonlineman2136]

Nice.

[@lightning-assassin6434]

Did you get smo yet

[@deinkoniglal4854]

you noticed he took his sword in the last hit with 2 hands THATS nintendo and why i love them

[@lordphill807]

​@@lightning-assassin6434 We are still wondering.

[@nopenope7700]

I love how you can see the flying guardian remnants from this game.

[@AlmyTheAlien]

Fighting this boss as a kid: "I'M USING GRAPPLING HOOKS TO CLIMB INTO THE SKY AND DODGE A DRAGON'S FIRE BREATH?! HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER!!!!" Fighting this boss as an adult: "C'mon, do something."

[@hardstyleboi1027]

0:39 Ridley scream. That is Ridley I swear.

[@puzzle_boy]

Like some legendary pokémon sound like some kaiju/Godzilla monsters

[@condescendingonlineman2136]

This battle was the most epic. I can guarantee that. Maybe not the hardest but still. It is quite epic

[@marshallosantos9035]

What Mande this game great was the absence of voice acting. Just visuals and a magnificent score. Every second of this game had me engaged.

[@_xddd_]

I can get behind voice acting in some games, but the way Zelda has been doing it with botw and totk makes me want to mute my tv

[@SerenadedArk]

I wish they made the bosses harder in the HD version but it seems like this is not the case. :/

[@HazeyA]

There is a harder version you can do after you have completed it, where the world is mirrored and enemies harder :)

[@brotherian6845]

Okayword- 0451 nigga what lmao

[@GreatGrandSoap]

Junthen J lmao wtf? Chill bruh

[@axy_boi]

They were hard enough when I played it but then again I was like 9 yrs old

[@silencetheknight9634]

Screw challenges. That's what Dark Souls is for. This game was epic and challenging games like Dark Souls will always fail to achieve such a great level of epicness due to the focus on the challenge itself.

[@brianlaudrupchannel]

The game looks so odd with detailed textures on low polygon models

[@ogbobbykush9002]

Man. It’s shocking how close you are in this dungeon to something like skyloft

[@rodrigo_manzanares]

TLOZTP was too epic, but it was too easy! A very hard option would have been amazing!

[@miguelangelcruzayala6457]

One of the most epic battles I've ever experienced... another one is the Thunderjaw inside the caulder

[@justagirlwithamustache9618]

they should make it harder in the second phase the lighting should hit link

[@fnollo7870]

using the final blow on argorok is so incredibly satisfying, just the way link backhand-twirl-stabs the sword into the back, wonderful.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Just watching this makes my palms sweat. Breathtaking.

[@YoutubeSupportOfficialUS]

Funny how the boots are heavy when worn, but when packed somehow are weightless

[@RegalRoyalWasTaken]

I love how after he gets pulled down a second time, he says "screw it" and shatters his armor. Like he's saying "DEATH OR GLORY, HERO!"

[@sigmathetaphialphabeta]

Nintendo really knows how to make final quest bosses before the real final boss. Link can now say to Zant and Ganon that he slayed a dragon

[@MajorZeldork]

It's sad the bosses in Twilight Princess weren't that hard. Then again, maybe that's the case with other Zelda games as well (The Lynels in BotW were harder than the battle with Ganon). It's my favorite game but that's one of few things it was lacking in.

[@jalaciaalva5204]

you know... i hate fighting this boss but the view under link's tunic makes up for it.

[@ladygremlin8287]

STOP

[@msw0322]

Gleeoks, Barba, Volvagia, Valoo, Argorok...so.many cool dragons throughout Zelda.

[@totaltransparency84]

This is my favorite twilight princess boss.

[@xxChacaronXX]

The one thing Zelda games lack are a back and forth lore/story with the bosses.

[@imminentdespair7201]

I wanna play this in VR

[@fantoast6932]

Yes

[@condescendingonlineman2136]

yes

Link is superhuman to survive those falls lmfao

[@Aszohcic]

8:45 hits differently in 2022 xD

[@thundergaming155]

i love that we get to fatal blow most of the bosses in this game.

[@macblink]

This battle was easy.. but so EPIC!

[@Sunkhrist]

I always disliked how easy the bosses in Zelda were. I wish they were more of a challenge

[@JN-vd3zm]

Easy?!

[@al3plex652]

2:20 sound of triforce Ganondorf death

[@Nliman]

Argoroks death is very similar to Smaugs death. Even the camera angle are the same more or less.

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

They really asked this kid to fight a dragon lol

[@Savii-Jo]

TBH the link in twp , was the best to exist , he answered his calling with valor and bravery and eventually saved the day , the ocarina Of Time link was tossed in his role and don’t even get me started on toon link in wind waker honestly twilight princess portrayed links characters qualities to the best of Nintendo’s possibilities.

[@peter42liter93]

what is this toon link slander? that man was on a revenge quest to save his sister and he went so far as to claim the legendary master sword for himself just to save his sister. eventually his character growth comes to him realizing he has more to do than save his sister he has to murder that evil BIRD that kidnapped her in the first place and eventually get rid of ganon to make this world a decent one for his sister and grandma and everyone else he loves and cares for. toon link is best link sorry fam twilight princess takes solid second tho 🙂👍

[@makinley.s]

This brings back alot of memories

[@Joe-l5z]

When I first fought this boss and the water temple boss I was thinking "this is borderline shadow colossus" lol.

[@Lil_Hondo]

That scene where the dragon rises and dies is very similar to that of Smaug in the Hobbit movie. Did they maybe use this scene from it? Or did the book describe it that way? They look so similar!!

[@OnlyOneNation74]

This came out 2006, although the book might of come out before

[@A_Lion_In_The_Sun]

@@OnlyOneNation74 the book came out in 1937, so yea, predates TP by a few years

[@miraveta]

First time I played this game and fought this thing I was blown away at the fact that "Holy shit this is a straight up wyvern not a cartoon version but a full on wyvern type shit."

[@cruthaicheardiabhal3093]

Here’s the thing: this is my favorite boss in twilight princess. ( that might be because I like dragons but meh)

[@deezy81]

Do you like them as much as KZbinr Katie Wilson??

[@rahumor7556]

Just remember to remove your blue mail... don't be me.

[@beesechurger2540]

Lol yea don't do that cause fire damage is a thing

[@TheBlackDragon129]

This dungeon is so frustrating but this dungeon boss is badass to fight.

[@AdmiralBurningskull]

City in the Sky was such an annoying dungeon, I'm honestly glad it had one of the easier bosses. After all that headache, we don't need some tough-as-nails mechanically-intense showdown. We just need a big cinematic showpiece, stabbing a dragon in a thunderstorm. TY Argorok for saving so many players' patience with the game.

[@lephalacat]

Oh gosh I remember this fight. During the phase of having to zip toward one direction to avoid the flames, I didn't know how to get Link to face toward a specific target. Leading me to yell the whole time, "God DAMN IT LINK, don't fricking zoom left and right repeatedly, PICK A DIRECTION you idiot aaaaaand you got hit. Great. FANTASTIC"

[@3BigChins]

This game came out when I was 14. I’m almost 32 now, and I STILL remember this boss fight

[@Johnny2by4Mgo]

That lightning strike at 3:08 can you say Perfect?

[@Neko_Medic]

And this is why the hookshoot was missed in Botw

[@paburopasillas7783]

I can't wait Argorok on MHW :D

[@ialwaystakebaddecision3495]

This would be awesome

[@abeisgr8]

I remember dying twice to Agarok with so much ease during the second phase of the battle only to realize I was wearing the Zora Tunic 😂

[@LinkofHyrule1996]

abeisgr8 I remember when I had the Zora tunic on and jumped into the lava of the Goron mines and I died instantly.

[@GalanOfTruth]

My dumbass couldn't figure out phase 2 for way too long lol, I didn't notice him tiring from breathing fire.

[@cherub3624]

Definitely one of the most epic Boss battles in all of Zelda. Good thing its not as difficult as it is bad ass.

[@sammyshehole]

Maybe my favorite Zelda boss fight in the entire series, just based on a gameplay perspective.

[@andrewnathan2903]

Felt like Spiderman in this one!

[@Roensmusic]

much cooler bosses than botw has

[@tylerjaynes822]

I remember thunderblight and...I wanna say Windblight being specifically interesting bosses, but I agree. I missed the proper temple format in those games, but I did however, like the fact the bosses actually had something to do with the beasgs being fucky and corrupt, instead of I GUESS Ganondorf just putting a boss at the end to be a dick

[@ladygremlin8287]

Oh gosh don't remind us. The fact that some people actually like them confuses me. I just hope BOTW2 has the classic temples and boss fights and not generic reprints of a puzzle room and look alike bosses

[@cameronowen7439]

To be honest, i really liked argorok because a lot of knight myths havd knights fight dragons so, since link is kind of a knight, it's a little nice having a cliche myth actually present

[@kaitoudark592]

[@beesechurger2540]

Shouldn't it be named kargorok and the smaller ones named argorok? Normally if a boss is based or named of something else it has more parts to its name (the k)

[@Thatguywiththeditto]

This boss would be great if it was actually a little hard to kill. Great design, cinematics and gameplay but it's too fucking easy.

[@butter7790]

It's easy once you understand the guy's moves. That's why it's hard

[@thelavinator6343]

How do the flying plants, aka peahats, carry the weight of links masdive balls?

imagine Link fighting a Rathalos- *remembers TLoZ DLC exists in MonHun*

[@duyanhpham9227]

The armor argorok wears looks pretty heavy but he stays in the air just fine but somehow Links iron boots can drag down to the ground?

[@UnivsFell]

They better have old twilight weapons and mechanics in botw 2 it be brilliant to have twilight realm aswell they already got the ganondorf why not finish it by making the a botw and twilight princess sequel. It be like how majoras mask revolutionised Zelda but in the 22nd century

[@raiders1844]

How do I get out of z targeting when I'm trying to get on the dragons back? I've pressed every button it doesn't work

[@HazeyA]

+william trivelpiece When you get behind him after he has stopped breathing fire you should be able to just z-target his back, just let go of the z button when behind him and a target should appear on his back. If not, I'm pretty sure you can just manually grab onto his back :) Hope this helps!

[@raiders1844]

+Hazey A he won't target his back, but at 3:55 of this video you got out of the z targeting what Button do you press to do that??? I'm going insane here!!

[@raiders1844]

Never mind I figured it out lol

[@ClaytonDelaney]

How the fuck did Link get down after he defeated Argorok? xD He couldn't have possibly just jumped off it...

[@zacharykenniston748]

Why doesn't argorok have eyes!?

[@donaldson9410]

I know right? But, this is the way this boss is designed by Nintendo. It's okay if you have problems with Argorok not having eyes, I'm not trying to be rude by the way.

[@nota444tm2]

It's a legend of zelda dragon, and it's a twilit corrupted dragon as well. I mean, look at armagohma, it's just a tiny eyeball spider. And blizetta has 2 faces.
