10 Genius Ways To Beat Video Game Bosses You Totally Missed

10. Kalle Demos (The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker)

A solitary drop of the mystical Forest Water is enough to make Kalle Demos wither and die in seconds. What does it say about gamers that they took so long to think about watering a plant?
