15 Best Video Game Moments Of 2017 (So Far)

1. Finishing Ganon With A Mid-Air Light Arrow - Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

From needing Light Arrows to finish off Ganon in Link to the Past to blinding his demon form at the close of Ocarina, various Zeldas have introduced either the Light Arrow or Bow of Light as a final means to vanquish evil for good.

Come the close of Breath of the Wild, battling through Hyrule Castle and uniting the four Hyrule Champions to weaken the combined form of Ganon down to half health, he morphs into a Shadow of the Colossus-sized behemoth, requiring some lateral thinking to surmount.

This is when Zelda wills the Light Bow into being, and brandishing it you'll first land a few critical shots on some weak points, before needing to goad Ganon into firing in your direction.

Once the field is appropriately scorched, the flames will create an updraft you can ride up to eye level with the beast. It's here where you'll whip out your Bow of Light and - with the score reaching a crescendo, the game in super slow-motion and all of Hyrule riding on that one shot - you let fly an arrow right into the creature's most critical point, winning the day.

What a phenomenal way to go out.
