9 Secret Ways To Defeat Final Bosses In ONE HIT

9. Use The Boomerang On DethI - The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening

In the original release of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, you can save yourself a boatload of hassle against the Nightmare's final boss form DethI by just... lobbing your boomerang at it.

For a brief window of time, DethI's eye will open, and if you chuck your boomerang straight at it, you'll kill the boss' final form in a single hit, ending the game.

Anti-climactic though it might be, it certainly beats taking DethI down the hard way and firing more than a dozen arrows into its eye before claiming your victory.

But because Nintendo are no fun - or perhaps they realised this cheese method was just too well-known nowadays - they frustratingly removed it from 2019's remake for Nintendo Switch.

Anyone who strolled into that final battle confident they could wrap it up with one hit was left with a rather nasty surprise when DethI didn't go down for the count quite so easily.
