Forums - Nintendo - Most epic boss battle of Nintendo's history?

I don't know, I was asking myself the question, what would be yours?

Oh and, you know, there's many thread like this, but at this time there's no interesting info from Nintendo except speculation and new records beaten, so... I want to know more of your tastes.

I was thinking of Bowser Final Battle in Galaxy, but I do know there's many out there. Which is your favorite?

Goht from majora's mask always comes to mind



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It's Ganon from Ocarina of Time, no questions asked.

No, he wasn't particularly hard, but there was something about him that terrified even as it thrilled. I think the biggest part of it is that you never get a very good look at him: the battlefield is damnably dark, and the only luminescent parts of him are his eyes, his sabers, and his tail, which you don't see for most of the fight. He's only fully illuminated by flashes of lightning, which throw him into stark relief so briefly that you never get much more than an impression of what he actually looks like.

It made him much more impressive - and terrifying - than he would have been in a well-lit arena. I wish they'd use that trick again. It worked beautifully, bringing to mind the terror of fighting Ganon in the dark in the original Legend of Zelda, or even in Link to the Past.

And yeah, I'll admit it. When Navi says, "He won't hold me back again! This time, we fight together!" I get goosebumps.



I can't say. It's a spoiler. The game's only been out for 4 months.

Runner-Up: Andross.



i have to agree with Khuutra

it was so epic as he reappears as Ganon and you have to fight him again it was the best!

You're SO right.



Of course there's also the final battle of EarthBound, but that's so awesome it should be disqualified on account of being too awesome.

How could you choose....

Mother Brain from Super Metroid, Ganondorf from Wind Waker, Ganon from Ocarina of Time, 'Shadow Princess Peach' from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Nightmare from Kirby's Adventure, Drawicia from Kirby's Canvas Curse....there's just so many great bosses from Nintendo games, you can't really pick one.
