10 Best Video Game Boss Battles Of The Decade
5. Calamity Ganon (Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)
Considering that the entire game is built around building yourself up for this one confrontation, the fight against Calamity Ganon had no business being anything less than one of the best of all time.
There are several ways you can approach this fight, mostly because you can literally fight him whenever it pleases you. Sure, you're TOLD to go to the four sacred beasts and get them back on your side, but it's just there to make the fight easier for you. Any equipment you get, any side missions you complete, all build up as one long training montage for the final battle.
But no matter when you begin this battle, it is utterly glorious. Sure this version of Ganon has basically no personality to him, leaving us without the pathos that made characters like Wind Waker's Ganondorf so compelling an antagonist, but never let it be said that the bastard doesn't make you WORK for that victory.
Even at your most equipped, you'll likely come out of that fight feeling like you just barely survived, and yet feel wholly satisfied. Exactly what a final boss needs to do.
