10 Best Boss Fights In The Legend Of Zelda Franchise
2. Koloktos
Skyward Sword’s cyberpunk leanings can be a little goofy at times (there are a few too many cute robots), but Koloktos, the boss of the Ancient Cistern, is about as far from goofy as it gets. One of the wildest creations in the history of Zelda, this is an audacious boss that is as fun to look at as it is to fight.
Koloktos is a giant, Buddha-influenced mechanoid armed to the teeth with devastating weaponry. Its only goal is to defend its dungeon, and if that means slicing Link to bits, then that’s exactly what it’s going to do.
The battle requires Link to use his whip (one of the great motion control weapons) to rip his enemy to pieces. Koloktos swings wildly at its attacker, protecting a sensitive centre with spare arms, which Link must cast aside in order to slash at the robot’s core.
Things only get crazier as the fight goes on. Once you push Koloktos too far, it sprouts legs and even more arms, and gives chase. The only way to best it is to grab the boss’ vicious cutlasses and use them to finally chop the ‘bot down to size.
