Bosses play a key role throughout the Zelda series, neatly bookmarking the dungeons or fortresses that you visit throughout the game. Picking the greatest boss roster among them is tough, with Ocarina of Time winning based on sheer nostalgia, and Skyward Sword for challenge.

But Twilight Princess bosses strike the perfect balance between challenge, variety and presentation. Its bosses range from giant multi-faceted beasts like Diababa and Morpheel, to the strange but amusing battle against the skeletal dragon Stallord, where you dash around the arena on a spinning disk attempting to get a hit in on him.

The battle against the maniacal Zant, meanwhile, remains one of the best moments in the series, forcing you to constantly rethink your strategy as he shrieks, bounces around and teleports the two of you between several different settings. Ain't nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally toppling that zany madman - well, maybe apart from defeating Ganondorf in that artfully sparse final showdown.
