fuck off with the zelda threads underage summerfags

>>825772
You should zip your pants up, your mad is showing.

>>825772
Make a different thread yourself then.

>>825772
oh no, a video gaming internet forum likes zelda

>>825772
why complain about zelda on a board that greets you everytime with zelda?

>>825783
Wait a moment, this guy just trolled us.

>same attack pattern repeats over and over
>hit the giant glowing weak spot 3 times
>you win

Favorite Zelda bosses? None.

>>825787
>Any retro boss ever

>>825783
this forum is for dicussing retro games. That doesn't mean 20 threads about zelda.

>>825790
it doesn't mean bitching about it either

>>825790
It's better than a front page full of did-I-do-good threads.

>>825794
oh i wish those would fuck off too

>>825772
>>825790
if you don't like it filter it out and stop complaining

>>825790
Other than this one, there are three in the catalog.

>>825804
I see only 2
the rest are about zelda-like dungeon/puzzle games

Dark Link obviously. Prefer him in Adventure of Link, but will take any incarnation.

Well, four. I missed one.

Unfiltered output from emulators results in a pixelated mess when displayed on modern LCD monitors.

In the pic, for example, the sign is unreadable.

>>825817
I don't know, I can read the 'Inn' just fine.

sage for off topic

>>825849
I'm sorry that I avoid any filter discussions, as it just degrades to /v/ style pointing and arguing.

sage for off topic, etc.

>>825771
I liked Blind from LTTP, it had a nice atmosphere and a good difficulty with all the heads and bullets.

I used to love Trinex, but Bongo Bongo takes the cake with his bongo.

Well about 80% of the thread just vanished. It was the shitty part though.

>>825881
Feels good to have mods / janitors that do their job well.

I want to say I liked the Zelda II Horseman boss, I found it hilarious that the horseman was just a regular blue darknut in the end, since those were pretty much bosses in and of themselves..

>>825789
I'm pretty sure that works now more that before.

Almost all bosses in TP and SS were like that including this guy, when everyone hyped him so much.

As a personal favorite, I like WW's ganon, even if the battle itself is easy as fuck, and started the "zelda steals the fucking light arrows" trope.

Is this even a question? Ganon from Link to the Past. Nothing felt better than that magical moment when you kill him and in that exact moment, as the credits roll, you truly feel as if you have saved the world from evil.

En garde!

>>825952
I have to agree, with the more retro bosses it was about damage the weapons dealt and how much health the bosses had. OoT kept this to a degree, but added more sequences. Thou weapon damage and such still mattered a lot.

I actually think this fad started in WW in a tame manor, as most bosses were done in 3 sequences if done well, 4 if done badly.

TP however simplified this, and it has only gone from there.

>>825962
The only thing that made me not like this fight was how easy re-lighting the lanterns was. maybe if after taking enough damage he broke the floor around them requiring use of the Flame Rod for the final silver arrow hit.

I like this guy because the magic rod is awesome

>>825789
Still better than

>hit weak spots
>QTE
>repeat thrice
>YOU WIN

Those witches in Ocarina, something about that whole dungeon is just so moody and foreboding

>>826053

I still dont understand how QTE was only used well in Shenmue, nobody since seems to have gotten it down at all, instead entirely missing the point they were making with it.

Phantom Ganon for Oot or Helmaroc King.

People hate on the water temple in ocarina of time, myself included, but the boss from that temple had the most awesome, relevant mechanic and i think part of it had to do with the catharsis of the level. I been using this fuckin' thing to drag my heavy ass all over the map and fucking up water levels and forgetting where shit is and how to do things and I finally get to use it to pull a giant ball out of the water and hack it's weak trembling body to shit in a cathartic vivisection of the Water Temple. After a long time using my brain, I finally can really let go.

>>826083
he needs an erection

>>825952
The hell? Picking up his weapons and beating him to death with them was fucking cool. I loved the Koloktos fight. You had to utilize the lasso too IIRC. Certainly not just "hit glowing center".

>>826290
The boss was cool, easily the best in the game, but I expected more.

On a unrelated note, I hate how almost all items in SS are almost useless in normal fights.

> Favorite Boss
Probably Agahnim.
He was really original at the time, and started the whole "hit magic projectiles back at the boss" gimmick. For that matter, I love it every time they reuse that gimmick. I always feel like a coordinated badass.

>>826514
Fuck, that is totally what i saw.

>>826514

The middle one is a little off too, Agahnim's mouth and nose are covered with a mask of sorts.

But yeah I thought I saw the far right too

>>825771
The Entire battle against the Nightmares, however this one (Pic related) is an entirely new enemy you had to face.

Said enemy type was never seen in any Zelda game again.

>>826656
Too bad it dies with one hit.

Shadow Link from Link's Adventure. There's just something to how he moves and attacks. I remember feeling like there was another person playing Shadow Link when I was a kid.

This classy motherfucker

>>826908
Nigga makes me want to start up a new playthrough. What do you guys think of a minimalist run? Only the masks I absolutely need to progress and Kokiri Sword all the way.

>>826908
What Zelda was this again?

>>826997
Cow Zelda. From when she used magic to appear as a cow to hide from Ganondorf.

>>825771
how did the boss in OPs picture get in the room, the door is too small

>>825880
Ctrl-f "bongo"
just one result
you're a bunch of faggots /vr/

most of the bosses in Seasons are far more action oriented than the ones in Ages, which is cool

>>827032
Bongo Bongo

My black gentleman friend

Gleeok, Digdogger and Patra (though Patra doesn't quite count as a boss).
I like them because there's no hitting their weakspots for massive damage. Or, rather, their weakspots aren't hand-holdingly obvious.

First image I've saved to my Zelda folder that isn't a picture of Link with his pants around his ankles
