This is the correct answer.

For me either Ganon on OoT or Bowser on NSMBwii. But pretty much every Ganondorf and Bowser it's epic

That reminds me that a lot of Fire Emblem bosses qualify, but those are mostly awesome because of the hero involved. Hector's fight are great:

(spoiler: Hector isn't the one who killed Lloyd)

Linus: Hey, you! You think you're tough, don't you?
Hector: Tough enough to cleave you in two.
Linus: I am Linus Reed, son of Brendan Reed. You killed my brother, Lloyd! Take this! Rrraahh!!!
Hector: I am Marquess Ostia's brother, Hector!! And I don't know about Lloyd, but I'll sure kill you!

That last line always gets me



Ganon from Ocarina of Time.

Probably Bowser in Mario 64.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The Ganon battle for the original Legend of Zelda was both scary and hard as Hell.

Not unless your sister told you that the only way to beat him was with the wooden sword, so you'd replay the whole game never upgrading and... bam easy as heck to beat him.

 

oh and I vote for Zelda 1 too.

I wouldn't really say the Fire Emblem boss battles are that great. The entire gameplay mechanism doesn't work too well around you having multiple units fighting against one. I absolutely loved the Deginshea fight, though.

The entire settings of the bosses, but the battles themselves aren't that great. They definitely don't come up close to the Zelda ones.

I have to agree upon your original Ganondorf from OoT comment. Although your "he wasn't particularly hard" sort of annoys me as I tried 37 times before successfully killing his first form (Ie, before he turns into Ganon)

Edit: Oh, and is this for Nintendo developed games, or games on Nintendo systems? If the latter, Okami pretty much steals my top three spots.



Between Agarok and Zant in Twilight Princess for me.



Ganon in OoT.
The music played and his appearance during that fight still give me goosebumbs.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
