1. Gleeock - The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Although Gleeok wasn't particularly challenging in the original Legend of Zelda, the three-headed dragon has returned with a vengeance in Tears of the Kingdom. Because Gleeok is often in the air, Link needs to blast each head with an arrow in rapid succession to cause the Ghidorah-inspired beast to fall to the ground. Only then can the Hero of Time deal serious damage.

This is easier said than done, since Gleeok can shoot projectile blasts in three directions at once, which is mind-bogglingly difficult to dodge. If the triple-threat serpent flaps his wings, he creates a gale that can cast Link out of the arena, ending the battle then and there.

The key to staying alive while fighting Gleeok is to be suitably equipped. Whether Link is facing a Fire, Ice, or Thunder Gleeok, our silent protagonist can withstand heavy damage, if he's wearing the appropriate armour.

This strategy goes out the window with King Gleeok, since this wicked wyvern shoots fire, ice, and lighting simultaneously! Although it's imperative to wear sturdy armour, elemental-resistant equipment won't help against this towering foe. Even if Link is armed with a fully upgraded weapons and armour, no amount of preparation or skill can secure victory against this merciless titan.
