10 Video Game Enemies Better Than The Final Boss

1. Guardian Stalker - Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Sometimes, Breath of the Wild could be a relaxing jaunt through post-war Hyrule.

Then... you hear that piano jingling in the distance? That’s the sound of your doom approaching.

First of all, any enemy that has a signature sound is going to stick out to you but the Guardians in Breath of the Wild really did their best to make sure you couldn’t forget them. The spidery, unfeeling bringers of laser-based pain were sprinkled over the plains of Hyrule to keep you on your toes and inspire every one of us to run screaming into the hills to avoid them.

When it comes to facing the final boss of the game, it's open to take on at any time. This means you can rock up early and get Link splattered across the throne room instantly if you so wish. Most players however will rinse the rest of the game and go in fully outfitted, equipped and ready for a showdown which will be, at the late stage of your journey, possibly rather unfulfilling.

If you’ve spent the sufficient amount of time exploring Breath of the Wild, it doesn’t take much to be ready to outpace Calamity Ganon.

However, on the way up to that final showdown through the ruins of Hyrule Castle? You can be absolutely sure that you’re still avoiding Guardians, every step of the way. Says a lot, don’t you think?
