I'm not sure if there was ever a thread for this, but I decided to start this thread about your favorite and least favorite Zelda bosses! It can be about multiple bosses, or if you have one personal favorite, that's all right as well, and if you want to, feel free to say why. It can even be a Mini-Boss or a Final Boss. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Favorite Bosses:
Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time/Ocarina of Time 3D): This battle is my favorite because, let's face it; playing tennis with a villain and then shooting him with an arrow that slays evil is pretty awesome, but that's just me. I adored the music, and the battle was great for me. Except for when I accidently fell one time to the bottom of the room because I targeted and attacked to early. Thank goodness I had me trusty Longshot to bring me all the way back up xD.

Molgera (Wind Waker/Wind Waker HD): Now I know Molgera is pretty straight forward for some people, but I really enjoyed this boss. I loved the music that went along with the battle, and I would always get nervous when I would have to get close and use the Hookshot its tongue, since I didn't want to get chomped on.

Armogohma (Twilight Princess): Seeing this version of Gohma really surprised me when I first heard of it, as it was a huge upgrade from Ocarina of Time. I personally loved this boss because instead of shooting an arrow/deku seed (slingshot) and then slashing it with your sword, you shooting it with an arrow, and then crushing it with a stone-fisted statue. Also while the music wasn't rapid, I still loved it.

Majora's Mask, Incarnate, and Wrath (Majora's Mask): I absolutely loved this battle. The music of awesome, but while the music for Majora's Incarnate was a bit strange, it went with it's dancing moves. The battle was really entertaining, with three forms to battle. Plus, if you get all the masks and to the missions with the Moon children, you could be OP and use the Fierce Deity Mask and just wreck the place!

Least favorite Bosses:
Morpha (Ocarina of Time/Ocarina of Time 3D): I've gotten used to this boss, but at first, Morpha was a real pain. I could never hookshot on to its nucleus, and I just kept getting swung around the room. It wasn't a good boss for me personally.

Jalhalla (Wind Waker/Wind Waker HD): This was not a fun boss. It was too easy for me, personally. It was just that I didn't really like the boss fight; it was boring for me. You throw him into spikes, and then there are the mini versions. With two-three hurricane spin attacks, he was gone. I was definitely underwhelmed by this.

Manhandla (Hyrule Warriors): This boss annoyed me SO much! I did not like how it always shoots seeds at me, like HELLO?! I never asked to be shot with dozens of seeds now did I! I always try to avoid battles that have this boss in the Adventure Map.

I always liked Gohma from the Wind Waker. Of all the Zelda bosses, that's always the one I remember the most fondly.

I dunno. Aside from it looking cool anyway, the way you interacted with the environment to defeat it really stood out to me since I think it's the first time in a Zelda game (that I had played at that point) where you really did that. Considering my only Zelda games at that point were the 2D games and half of Ocarina of Time though, that's not saying much...Not to mention it's bloody huge! The whole fight just felt epic.
It took me ages to figure out that you have to grapple the dragon's tail xD


Least Favorite

Manhandla...

Seriously, **** this boss. It's not particularly hard, it can just sometimes be really tedious. A lot of the time I've found that around half health it will go in its 'shell' and not do any attacks that turn its heads green for a while, obviously making it vulnerable to damage.

I think the case of this happening is with a Darunia challenge on the first adventure map to kill two of these guys within ten minutes...It took me ages to do this because they just refused to 'green up' at half their health and I spent about 9 minutes each time waiting around in frustration for them to friggin' become attackable...It's not particularly hard otherwise aside from that, which only adds to the annoyance.

oh boy. Gonna do this by favorite bosses in each game.

Legend of Zelda
I enjoyed the Ganon fight. It was fun, it wasn't too annoying. Also **** Manhandla and Gohma.

Adventure of Link
Never played.

Link to the Past
This game has so many bosses it's really hard to pick just one. That said, I really liked Blind the Thief. The boss was pretty cool since you talked with him, and the dungeon was awesome.

Link's Awakening
Never played.

Ocarina of Time
This is the hardest one. It can't be the kid bosses. They definitely are not favorites, and I've never liked Barinade. Phantom Ganon was cool, but the battle was a little annoying on 3DS. The same goes for Twinrova, despite the boss room being badass. Bongo Bongo was meh. Volvagia is weird and I feel like he could have had more attacks. Therefore, favorite is Morpha. I also strangely like the Water Temple despite everybody's hatred.

Majora's Mask
Gyorg's battle was ****ing annoying. I don't remember much of battling Majora since I just used Fierce Deity and slayed it in two seconds. Twinmold was particularly easy, and Odolwa was meh. Favorite then has to be Goht. It's a fun, chaotic battle.

Oracle of Ages
**** this game.

Oracle of Seasons
**** this game.

Four Swords
Never played.

Wind Waker
I liked Gohma since it wasn't the usual spider. Kalle Demos was okay but still fairly annoying. Gohdan was absolutely epic. Helmaroc King kind of annoyed me. Jalhalla's temple was annoying, and his battle was tedious. I loved Molgera and his music, but the favorite has to be Ganondorf. That final battle was awesome.

Four Swords Adventures
Never played.

Minish Cap
Mazaal. Enough said.

Twilight Princess
ARMOGOHMA FOR THAT ENTIRE TEMPLE.

Phantom Hourglass
EOX <3

Spirit Tracks
Skeldritch was pretty fun.

Skyward Sword
**** this ****ing game. Koloktos.

Link Between Worlds
Not gonna lie, I was not a fan of any of them in particular

Hyrule Warriors
Beast Ganon.
 
I don't really have any I like because of their battles but I really enjoy Bongo Bongo for the theories behind it.

**** this game.

Oracle of Seasons
**** this game

How dare you, SIR!

Anywho, I liked Gleeok from Phantom Hourglass. Also, the Gyorg Pair from Minish Cap was really cool (as well as its whole temple)

Also I loved DIGDOGGER from ORACLE OF SEASONS and PLASMARINE RAMROCK from ORACLE OF AGES.

Also, can we use this thread for are least favorite bosses, too? Because godDAMNIT, Head Thwomp...
 
Probably Kalle Demos from Wind Waker. It seems like one of the best boomerang bosses to me. Kloktos from Skyward Sword is pretty fun too.

Least favorite? Everything in Hyrule Warriors, especially the Imprisoned.

Alright, an excuse for me to talk about LOZ more. :D

Wind Waker
Phantom Ganon. Especially the second time. It was just very fun for me.

Twilight Princess
This is hard for me to choose...
Favorite mini boss is definitely Darknut.
Favorite boss would have to be Zant. I loved that fast pace and epic music.

Skyward Sword
Koloktos. No doubt about it. It was fun to watch Link lug that huge sword around.

Hyrule Warriors
Beast Ganon. Defeating him with Link just makes me feel satisfied.

Unfortunately I have not played OoT or MM. I really want to get the 3DS version of MM though.

Yup, now you can add your least favorites! I was thinking about doing that, but I wasn't sure if people would really want all that or not. Guess I was wrong :)

MM3D is so worth it! You'll definitely enjoy it! I know you're not getting it, but Oot was also pretty fun :).
