~Note: This thread may contain spoilers so if you haven't beaten Twilight Princess yet, then proceed at your own risk~
Bosses bring new life into an area that your in. They can bring a sense of nostalgia, epicness, irritation, and most importantly-fun.
This thread will be talking about bosses from Twilight princess. Which is/are your favorite(s)? And what do you have to say about them? I'll begin first.
My favorite boss in Twilight Princess is Blizzeta. Here are a couple pictures:
~Why she's my favorite~
Blizzeta is my favorite boss in Twilight Princess because I like her style. I have always been a little bias towards ice/water areas, monsters, bosses, and dungeons because I like them for some unexplained reason. She has multiple forms(two) which is what I like to see in bosses acknowledging how far into the game Blizzeta stands at. She has few but very cool attacks-I'm speaking about her second form-that makes the battle somewhat challenging and fun.
~The Positives~
Blizzeta is a boss that I'm very proud of. First lets talk about her first form. She is basically a huge ice mass that slides in every direction threatening to ram into you. She doesn't have any other attacks save her sliding around. With her enormous size, it's easy to hit her with the ever-slow ball and chain. However, the smaller she gets, the more agile she becomes which boosts up her speed. When she's down to a reasonably small size, she will have miniature ice monsters-the same ones encountered in the dungeon- spinning along the outside radius of her body. When you hit Blizzeta these little guys will fly off at great speed and will cause a great deal of hindrance when not taking care of Blizzeta quickly.
This little spin(no pun intended) turns a seemingly easy boss battle into an unexpected fight for your life. And this is just the beginning.
Now lets talk about her second form, her most serious and deadly form.
She is now floating in the air inside a big fancy ice block. And did I mention she had 10 giant(and needless to say fancy) ice shards circling around her? Well, she does and the thing is, you can't see her....in the air anyway. She has another method of defence, which is the inability for Link to see her directly. We have to rely on her reflection in the ice-covered floor to determine where and how to dodge her attacks. We also have to worry about the extremely small radius of the boss room and the lack of good traction. We learn all of this about her and she hasn't even attacked us yet.
She has two attacks: sending all of her ice shards crashing down onto Link, and, crashing down herself along with her ice shards at the same time.
Falling objects in a lot of games don't usually post that big of a threat, but for Blizzeta, it's a death wish if you take her lightly.
I also like the method of attacking the second form of Blizzeta. You have to destroy as many shards as you can when they are wedged into the floor after they come crashing down(and hopefully missing you in the process!) with the ball and chain. Okay, great, you hit one or two shards. You can hit her, easy right? You're not done yet. Blizzeta apparently doesn't like you killing off her precious ice shards so she's going to make things harder for you. When the ice shards return next to her they will start rotating, which adds a whole new level of difficulty because it doesn't matter which shards you hit. You still have to quickly react to go through the opening(that you created by destroying some ice shards)-Which is randomly placed- when she comes crashing down to attack her.
I also like the fact that she-and her shards- don't camp out for 5 minutes when they hit the floor. You have to be fast, which can be a challenge sometimes due to the lack of traction.
~The Negatives~
Her first form should have lasted slightly longer personally. I think that we should have been made to hit her an extra one or two times before she goes into her second form. Other than that, her first form is great.
Her second form is really awesome but she could've used an extra attack or two alongside with the two attacks I mentioned earlier. Her speed is excellent and you have to move, and move fast!
The only real problem that I find with Blizzeta is that her attack power isn't as it should be. She should hit somewhere near the two hearts range when she comes slamming into you herself. Half a heart from her shards is fine considering there are 10 of them.
~Closing Comments~
Overall Blizzeta is a fun, challenging boss that fits in perfectly. She isn't too hard or too easy being the 5th boss of the game. That's why she is my favorite in TP

Ok guys now it's your turn! I apologize for this thread being kind of lengthy. You don't have to type as much so please don't feel that you have to write a novel. I will be looking forward to reading your guys' opinions.
