So pretty much since AoL the final Boss Sequence has been split up into (usually two) parts - not including 'phases' of the battle, but two distinct boss battles (usually with different titles). In fact, it's only original Ganon and Yuga-Ganon that don't feature this in the whole series to my reckoning...
Thunderbird>Dark Link
Agahnim>Ganon
All the bloody Nightmares
Ganondorf>Ganon
Majora's Mask/Incarnation/Wrath
Veran/True Form Veran
Onox/Dark Dragon
Twinrova/Ganon
Puppet Ganon/Ganondorf
Vaati/True Vaati
Ganon's Puppet/Dark Beast/Ganondorf Horse/Duel
Ghost Ship/Bellum/Bellumbeck
Zelda Malladus/Cole Malladus
Imprisoned/Demise
Lady Maude Outfit 1/Outfit 2
Calamity Ganon/Dark Beast Ganon
It also seems to be a bit of a pot luck as to whether we finish on a high - with the final versions of many of these games being the absolute highlight - OoT's Ganon, tWW's Ganondorf, the Dark Dragon and Demise being some of the best Boss Battles in the series.
Then, however, we have some which are huge let downs compared to the previous boss...
Dark Link in AoL was great in concept, but in practice a super easy let down compared to the monster that was Thunderbird. Ganondorf's TP fight was nothing compared to all three previous sections.
And now, after the NAIL BITING AWESOMENESS that was Calamity Ganon, Dark Beast Ganon was just a nothing. Barely moved, didn't take a single heart of damage from me. A huge "Hit the Weak Spots with these unlimited Magic Arrows five times" meh of a finale. He looked pretty. But the fight itself was more of an interactive cut scene.
So it got me thinking... is it really worth having a second 'true form' boss, if the previous one was so good? Are you just opening yourself up to failure?
Still, A+ game. But disappointing Ganon battle...
What do you guys think? Are the 'FINAL FORM' bosses usually a good thing or a disappointment?
