10 Video Game Enemies Worse Than Any Boss
5. Like Like - The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Although Ocarina of Time is reasonably challenging, the majority of the bosses are pretty easy, including the final boss.
With that said, players tend to have more trouble with the regular enemies. ReDeads paralyse Link with their scream. Stalfos regenerate their health. Blue Bubbles disable weapons. Wallmasters send our hero back to start of the area.
However, the enemy that gets the most flack is the ironically named Like Like. This tubular slug doesn't do major damage, but does something much worse. If a Like Like devours Link, it'll swallow his shield or tunic before spitting him out. These items are necessary in certain situations, so Link needs to retrieve them immediately.
The problem is if Link doesn't defeat the Like Like fast enough, it'll digest the shield or tunic, meaning he has to track the equipment down again, which is time-consuming and potentially expensive.
Link can reclaim his stuff by slaughtering the gluttonous gastropod, but it's no easy task when the Hero of Time is in a room filled with Like Likes. While he's trying to retrieve his paraphernalia from a specific Like Like, another one can swallow him up, stealing yet another item.
Bosses like Phantom Ganon and Volvagia may be difficult, but at least they're not thieves.
