Often considered to be one of the best video games ever made, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time is a fantastical adventure that sees hero Link set out on an epic quest to stop the evil ruler Ganondorf from taking over Hyrule.

After exploring the world and completing several dungeons (including the infamous Water Temple), the time arrives for players to confront the main villain. Upon defeating the malevolent king and escaping his crumbling tower, however, players must then face the antagonist once more when he transforms into Ganon.

Now a monstrous beast that wields two giant swords, Ganon's far reaching combos and monstrous power turn him into a menacing threat. What makes this final showdown even harder is that Link loses his Master Sword at the start of the fight, meaning that players are forced to fend for themselves during the first part of the battle.

It's only once players stun Ganon that they're able to reclaim Link's iconic weapon. In addition to making this stage a fairer fight, players must also have the legendary blade re-equipped before they can execute the finishing blow.

This battle is an unforgettable sequence that leaves players feeling like Hyrule's ultimate hero.
