Yes, I am talking about boss fights. Specifically my favorite boss fights. As we are all aware at some point, boss fights can be one of the absolute best things about a game. It means the game is ending and all the hard work is now being put to the test. Do you have what it takes to take on the ultimate being at the end of the game? Sometimes it's most certainly the most difficult test in the whole game. But while some are difficult, they never really fall short in how great they are. And that's what we're here to talk about. And since I did use the image for the header of this post, it's only appropriate to talk about Ocarina of Time:



I think this is still to this day one of my all time favorite boss fights in any game. It was back in the day when I had first experienced Ocarina of Time in its entirety, and I hadn't realized what the end game would be. I had seen people do it before but I never realized what it was like to actually play and beat it. A lot of people say that this particular Ganon fight is far easier than most others and I'm inclined to agree. Especially when you have the Biggorons Sword. But at the same time, it's still a great climax to an already perfect game.

Next up we have another classic because I absolutely love the boss fights in older games. Especially when it comes to the Banjo Kazooie series. While I did love Banjo Tooie's boss fight, I preferred the first game because the fight feels way more personal. No bull****, just you and Gruntilda.



All the way up to the final blow from the mega jinjo to send her flying down into a pit in the ground. A seriously great way to end a game that you've already put so many hours into.

One of my fondest memories in gaming is playing the original Fable for the first time. I remember just being so immersed in this game and everything about it was and is still great. This was before The Lost Chapters came out and then we realized just how vast this game truly was meant to be. If you weren't aware, Fable: The Lost Chapters is basically the full game. The original Fable was not the full Fable experience. Fable Anniversary is also the full game. Anyway, the Jack of Blades dragon fight at the end of Fable: The Lost Chapters / Fable Anniversary is one of the most amazing boss fights I've ever experienced.



While in the original Fable, you only got to fight Jack of Blades face to face not in dragon form, and while that was a pretty good way to end the game for that one, I'm glad it wasn't the true end to the game.
