As much as it may seem like Ganondorf has a monopoly on the business of getting brutally stabbed at the end of Zelda games, from time to time another foe will have the honor of becoming Link’s temporary sheath/final cutscene trigger.

In all of the Zelda series, one villain rules them all: Ganon. This petrifying and pig-like foe has made an appearance in some form or another in nine main-series Zelda games, and there are few things more satisfying than poking him full of holes after a long and intense quest. In this week’s ZD Top, we had our writers recount their favorite showdowns with Ganon in his various forms.

Hyrule Warriors took a different approach in their boss battles, notably the ability to move across the entire map in the midst of fighting.

Boss battles have always been a major part of gameplay in the Zelda series; every boss has a completely different feel when you are battling, and some bosses are harder than others. The items used and the strategy behind each boss is unique. A Link Between Worlds is no different, and that is why GameXplain has made a compilation video that shows every boss in A Link Between Worlds and how to beat them. See the video after the jump.
