i got bored and posted something
Alright, so I just wrapped up Breath of the Wild and was comparing several things about it to other games. One of the first things that came to mind: the final fight with Ganon. Note that I will be going into detail about the fight against Ganon in BotW, so if you haven't beaten him yet and don't wanna be spoiled, don't worry, it'll be in a spoiler tag. Gotta include it though since that's kind of the whole point.
And yeah, this only includes Ganon fights. Not fights against Thunderbird or Phantom Train or whatever.
Zelda 1: Ganon teleports around the room as a weird blue sprite ball. I guess you just have to keep swinging your sword at random until you hit him since he's invisible? After you hit him a few times and he turns red, you finish him with the silver arrow. Can be a very short fight (one minute or even less) if you know what you're doing.
Zelda II: No Ganon fight.
Link to the Past: A fight against Ganon in two phases. First phase is just beating the crap out of him, then the lights go out and he disappears. When he comes back and you hit him, he turns a stony blue color, which is your cue to hit him with the silver arrows.
Ocarina of Time: A multi-phase battle. First phase is magical volleyball. Then it turns into "escape the collapsing castle". Then finally, a one-on-one fight with the giant pig beast himself.
Majora's Mask: No Ganon fight.
Link's Awakening: No Ganon Fight
OoX: There's only a Ganon fight if you beat the games with a password. The fight in each game is identical. Ganon teleports around the room shooting projectiles and using his trident. You hit him a bunch with your sword and he eventually dies.
Four Swords: No Ganon fight.
Wind Waker: A multi-phase fight. First he starts as a puppet, then a spider, then a weird worm thing, where you shoot him in the weak point until he falls. Then you take him one on one (kind of) in a sword fight.
Four Swords Adventures: Two phases. First you fight him as normal, then in the GBA SP screen against Stalfos. Then Zelda gives you some magic power and you finish the job.
Twilight Princess: Probably the longest Ganon fight. Starts as Zelda with light ball tennis, then beast Ganon, then you fight him on horseback, THEN you fight him one on one in sword combat.
Phantom Hourglass: No Ganon fight
Spirit Tracks: No Ganon Fight
Skyward Sword: No Ganon fight
Link Between Worlds: This is a tricky one, since its a Yuga/Ganon combo, but I'll count it since it mostly looks like Ganon. The fight starts out as simple, just hit him when he's open after an attack, then phase two, go into the walls and try to hit him from behind after hitting him with light arrows given to you by Zelda mid-fight.
Breath of the Wild
So those are all the Ganon fights, in case you forgot. My personal order would go as such (not inlcuding FSA since I've never played it all the way through):
TP > WW > LBW > BotW > OoT > LttP > OoX > LoZ

Breath of the Wild
You take on a giant amalgamation of Ganon. He has all sorts of weapons that he flails at you while you smack him out in any way you can. It gets to a point where you need to reflect his attacks back at him with parries. Then he transforms into a giant pig that shoots lasers, in which you shoot his weak points on his side when they appear while on horseback.
