You know what miniboss did you forget? Lynels and Guardian Scouts from Breath of The Wild. They are stronger than even some of so called "minibosses" like Hinoxes and are either a part of a main story ( Lynel in Lanayru which is a part of Vah Ruta's quest ) or are special tests of strength ( Lynels in Hyrule's Castle and all of rank IV Guardian Scouts )
Dark Link all the way, from Ocarina of Time. The setup, a silent arena with shallow water and a lonesome island. Young me freaked out when the music cued the dark mirror image of Link!
Am I the only one who found that fight boring? Even over 20 years ago when I was still a kid I immediatly figured out to use the Megaton Hammer. We didn't have internet to search stuff up. All you did was let him walk to you, smash him, rinse and repeat. It was basically a free kill.
I think Arbiter's Ground is the best dungeon of Twilight Princess. It's sad the spinner became practically useless after leaving it. And is Italian name is Desert's Gallows, just to let you know death is ever present in it
While the Dark Link battle in Ocarina of Time will always be historic, I did enjoy battling Dark Toon Link at Level 3 of the Take 'Em All Down minigame in Spirit Tracks. Anyone else remember that fight?
I still really love Gomess from Majora’s Mask tbh. It’s not a difficult fight at all, but I just love the design of it, it’s just creepy and mysterious, like where did it even come from
The best Sub-Boss I ever faced in the Legend Of Zelda series, was the Garo Master in Major's Mask Stone Tower Temple, the Garo Master was very ninja like his minions and had flaming dual swords, he was a real joy to fight and i'll never forget the fight against him ✊
There is another way to summon Dead Hand aside from getting near his arms. Use the Lens of Truth to spy a dark spot on the floor, then kaboom it with a bomb.
Yup. There's a third Dead Hand exclusive to Master Quest that requires this. No hands in the room, but a bunch of bomb flowers that serve as a good hint to those who haven't figured it out.
I could be wrong, but in OoT if you use the Lens of Truth while fighting Dead Hand you can see his shadow while he's underground. Then you can drop a bomb on the spot and he'll pop up without having to get grabbed
You're right, actually. In the Master Quest version one of the rooms in the Shadow Temple (I think) requires you to use this tactic as there are no hands. I don't think the room holds anything of significance though.
If you're fighting dead hand then you don't actually need the hands to grab you if you use the lens of truth on the ground you can see where he is and then you can bomb him out oh and more thing this Technique only works in the bottom of the well as a child with the difficulty on master quest due to item locations being changed all other locations are fine with this on normal mode
Fun Fact: 1. if you use the lens of truth in Dead Hands room you can see a dark spot on the floor somewhere. Place a bomb in that spot and Dead Hand will appear even though you weren't grabbed by the hands 2. in the German version Dead Hands name is "Hirnsauger" which translates to "brainsucker"
The problem with putting Darknut on a list of Mini-bosses is that it loses its mini-boss status immediately. Yeah, the first one you fight in Hyrule Castle gets the Mini-boss theme, but it's of the normal enemy variety. The Darknut in the Temple of Time is unique in that in its second phase, it gets its guard up in time to stop a combo before the stronger fourth hit.
I figured our the best way to damage Dark Link in OoT with the Master Sword is by slashing horizontal. Because when you stab him, he jumps on your sword, if you hit him vertical he will always block it, if you hit him horizontal then there is a slight chance of hitting him. But to deal horizontal blows you cannot Z-Target him
Dead Hand: When you have the Lens of Truth, use it and look for a dark point in his room. Took a bomb on this dark point and he appears without grab you
You got the footage for the phantom ganon fights flipped. You showed ganon's tower first and forsaken fortress second... I guess the editor never played the game...
The bosses are easy, that's true. Still, it's really satisfying using the Ending Blow to finish those you can in that manner. Especially Molgera and Argorok, where there's a unique Ending Blow animation for using it while hanging on to an enemy.
You don't have to get grabbed by the dead hands to make the boss spawn. All you need to do is bomb the spot where the boss is at by discerning its location with the lens of truth. It would also help if anyone who ever did MOJO clips was decent at any video game ever
If Master Stalfos isn't on this list, then WatchMojo doesn't know Zelda. EDIT: Wow. No mention of any of the mini bosses from the Zelda game that made mini bosses a staple in the series. This list is weak.
Mini bosses were a thing back in Zelda 1. Patras are considered minibosses. If that's not good enough for you, Zelda II had you fight Rebonack as a miniboss in two dungeons
@@Bornheck it's not good enough because Link's Awakening was the game to put mini bosses on the map, in terms of including them in every single dungeon. Not just a couple sprinkled through the levels. I mean, sure, I guess those things paved the way for other mini bosses. But after Link's Awakening, mini bosses were in every dungeon.

Twilight Princess had so many good mini bosses!
my favorite game in the series
Criminally underrated!!!!
@@Hijiri04 i call it : the better OoT 😅
Twilight Princess over all was (and still is) amazing 🌈❤️
Aeralfos is underrated
Dark Link all the way, from Ocarina of Time. The setup, a silent arena with shallow water and a lonesome island. Young me freaked out when the music cued the dark mirror image of Link!
Am I the only one who would love to fight Dark Link in a new 3D game? Let’s face it; how many times have we fought him? I only count the one in Oot.
Am I the only one who found that fight boring? Even over 20 years ago when I was still a kid I immediatly figured out to use the Megaton Hammer. We didn't have internet to search stuff up. All you did was let him walk to you, smash him, rinse and repeat. It was basically a free kill.
@@chrislecount4801 I loved playing this on the 3ds, plus Dark Link was a worthy foe.
Dark Link was easy to defeat if you just used the Megaton Hammer.
I think Arbiter's Ground is the best dungeon of Twilight Princess. It's sad the spinner became practically useless after leaving it.
And is Italian name is Desert's Gallows, just to let you know death is ever present in it

I've never played Spirit Tracks but I would like to
Yep, and it took a long time to get there. I was rather disappointed that the prize for accomplishing this wasn't more special.
I also have theory that dark link is a link from ww and pH.
I do remember that, it was so awesome to see him again and fight him, I wasn’t too disappointed tbh I thought it was sweet
Twilight Princess really was a masterpiece, wasn't it? Too bad it got ported to the Wii U instead of the Switch.
You'll be happy to hear that they may be coming to switch soon now
I still really love Gomess from Majora’s Mask tbh. It’s not a difficult fight at all, but I just love the design of it, it’s just creepy and mysterious, like where did it even come from

I loved the darknuts in both wind waker and twilight princess

this video has so much of Twilight princess and I love that

This sounds legit
You're right, actually. In the Master Quest version one of the rooms in the Shadow Temple (I think) requires you to use this tactic as there are no hands. I don't think the room holds anything of significance though.
I like Bigocto, Flare Dancer and Dark Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (2011).
Flare Dancer is one of my favorites too.
Bigocto's kinda meh to me. Beyond that, all I can say is that it's a good fit for timewaster: the dungeon.
6:08 lol
Well actually Scervo's hook attack can be parried, almost any attack can be parried with the right timing making the fight much more badass.
Now you don't see dark link now you do
Been like 10yr and I still can't dodge this one Igos Du Ikana attack
I always liked the boxer guy in Link’s Awakening.

Darknut in twilight princess was tough

The Darknut in the Temple of Time is unique in that in its second phase, it gets its guard up in time to stop a combo before the stronger fourth hit.
Dark Link being #1 is only right. Here's hoping he returns for Breath of the Wild 2.
Awesome video! Dark Link is my favorite.
my main method of dealing with Dark Link, Din's Fire.
Nah megaton hammer 🔨 is the best
But yeah i used master sword 🗡️ for challenge
I figured our the best way to damage Dark Link in OoT with the Master Sword is by slashing horizontal.
Because when you stab him, he jumps on your sword, if you hit him vertical he will always block it, if you hit him horizontal then there is a slight chance of hitting him.
But to deal horizontal blows you cannot Z-Target him
The trick to beating igos is to burn the curtains to the room, makes the fight super easy.
Considering you can't fight Igos until you do that...? Yeah, I'd say that's the trick.
Igos Du Ikana is probably the most unique mini boss in Zelda. it took me forever to figure out that I needed to burn the curtains.
He was better than most, if not all, of the actual bosses in that game.
Dead Hand: When you have the Lens of Truth, use it and look for a dark point in his room.
Took a bomb on this dark point and he appears without grab you
I don’t disagree with this list except that I would put them in no particular order, they were all awesome equally but in their own ways
Favorite mini boss. Dark Link, OoT. Definitely.
Gomess is my favorite mini boss in Zelda
dark link on place 1 is best choice. I died so frickin often to my shadowy counterpart that I can't even count it.
Great list!
Of the ones I've fought Dead hands would be my favorite God that thing was creepy
The Garo Master was so cool
Aww now do 2D-Zeldas Mini-Bosses :o
there's a theory that Dead Sword is Phantom Ganon. just a little aged.
Dark Hammet ended up being the bane of my existence
Hammer
Darknut in Twilight princess is fun to fight
Gomess from stone tower temple was badass
You got the footage for the phantom ganon fights flipped. You showed ganon's tower first and forsaken fortress second... I guess the editor never played the game...
Thanks
You're very welcome, thanks kindly!
i love watching your videos
I never even knew he was called Garo Master!
Death sword all the way my fav mini boss in my all time fav dungeon in my all time fav game lol
How about Lyonel in breath of the wild?!
The Lynels in botw were better than the Moldugas. Just always kept me on my toes.
lynels are non-boss enemys
Mini-Bosses Aka The Appetizers.
wind waker has the best mini boss music
Am I the only one that quit Skyward Sword just because Scervo exists? I’ve tried about 200-300 times and couldn’t beat him.
Igus Ikanna and Garo Master
Imo Twilight Princess had the best dungeons and best looking bosses.. the only thing that's disappointing is the main bosses weren't that challenging
The bosses are easy, that's true. Still, it's really satisfying using the Ending Blow to finish those you can in that manner. Especially Molgera and Argorok, where there's a unique Ending Blow animation for using it while hanging on to an enemy.
These bosses look good
I like the battle tested Gardien hyroul warriors age of calamity you can play it to
One has to be Dark link
Dead hands are not one of the best unless the list is best Zelda bosses that creep you out even as an adult
Molduga or literally : Why the F*** do I hear a boss music ???!!!!!
Molduga from BotW was incredibly lame. Should have replaced it at #10 with Flame Dancer from OoT.
Always play as garo Masterin AlttP randomizer
Throw deku seed paralyzed dark link
Huh, interesting.
Who ever was playing Wind Waker seriously sucks.
You don't have to get grabbed by the dead hands to make the boss spawn. All you need to do is bomb the spot where the boss is at by discerning its location with the lens of truth. It would also help if anyone who ever did MOJO clips was decent at any video game ever
Dead hand is creepy 😟😈

@@Bornheck I will admit, King Bolbin is a great mini boss. One of the best for sure.
I HATED the dead hand mini boss
First
What other comment do you have then just being first?
Zelda sucks
I always liked the boxer guy in Link’s Awakening.
