THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD- CALAMITY GANON / DARK BEAST GANON
The Legend of Zelda franchise has always been known for featuring some excellent boss fights. Breath of the Wild came along and changed a lot of things, and that, unfortunately enough, was one of them. There weren’t really any boss fights in the entire game that can compare to what we’re used to seeing from the series, but the final two-legged battle against Ganon has to be the most disappointing of them all. It was a pretty straightforward fight, not to mention the fact that it was also surprisingly easy. The entire game built up Calamity Ganon as a truly terrifying villain, but the final battle against him just couldn’t do that justice.
