Summary

  • Seismic Talus is a forgettable, easy boss with simple mechanics that do not evolve.
  • Ganon repeats with similar mechanics, providing little variety despite Link and Zelda's different playstyles.
  • Skorchill presents varied challenges by alternating vulnerabilities to fire and ice attacks, keeping the encounter engaging.

There were more possibilities than ever for changing up what a 2D Zelda boss can look and play like in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Echoes of Wisdom, and it took full advantage of this with some, ⛦while others feel a little closer to the classics.

Th🎶e Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom - 7 Best Accessories

Everything from less damage to improved diving.

Eac💟h of Echoes of Wisdom's eight dungeons ends with a unique boss fight, and while these are usually a fun final test, they can occasionally be a slight let down as well. So, looking at all of the different bosses featured in Echoes of Wisdom, which are the best, and which do you wish you could☂ skip?

8 💞 Seismic Talus

Test Of Dodging

The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom Seismic Talus.

Being the final challenge in൩ the first dungeon means that the boss will often not pose too much of a challenge, but there are still plenty of opportunities to check your skill using these early-game antagonists.

Unfortunately, Seismic Talus doesn't feature that much depth at all, making it the most forgettable boss in the game, and the easiest by a large margin. Zelda simply needs to dodge the hulking stone beasts, o🍸bviously choreographed attacks, and then attack the exposed weak point. It never really ch🔯anges much, and is the kind of simple enemy design that Echoes of Wisdom is otherwise better than.

7 Ganon

Mid-Game Rehash

Ganon is staggered before entering his second boss fight phase in Echoes of Wisdom.

Ganon is one of the more challenging bosses, both when he shows up at the end of Link's section right at 🐻the beginning of the game, and at the end of Hyrule Castle for Zelda to face off against. In spite of this, since he plays almost exactly the same, there wasn't really much reason for this (undeniably iconic) boss to show up twice.

Sure, Zelda and Link play very differently, but since th🃏is boss relies on liberal use of the Sword of Might, the fight ends up feeling incredibly similar.

6 Vocavor

Underwater Throwback

Zelda swinning away from Vocavor's whirlpool in Echoes of Wisdom.

Echoes of Wisdom 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:stands out from the 2019 ♊Link's Awakening remake in spite of their similar styles, but one way that Echoes of Wisdom decided to pay homage to its p💖redecessor is by having a 2D underwater boss fight.

This is a strange choice, since Angler Fish is arguably the weakest boss in Link's Awakening, and while Vocavor isn't as bad, it also isn't much better either. 2D combat is simply not as engaging to partake in, and the bosses' attacks aren't too tricky to dodge either, maki🌟ng it a disappointing end to a fantastic dungeon.

5 Gohma

Shocking Faron Finale

The Legend Of Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Gohma boss fight screen.

Gohma is a boss that has shown up time and time again 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:throughout Zelda history, but this time they 🅷feel more unique than they ever have before. Goౠhma takes inspiration from the temple it resides in, and has weak points that need to be hit with electric attacks for it to be vulnerable to direct hits.

Sometimes it can be a little challenging to actually strike these weak points, since the aiming mechanic isn't always perfect. Bu♔t for the most part, this boss is an engaging obstacle thanks to its aggressive move set.

4 Skorchill

Hot 'n' Cold

The Legend Of Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Skorchill rampaging in the Lanayru Temple.

Another boss that follows the th🌞eming ofꦐ its dungeon is Skorchill, the evil clone of Conde's brother, who uses a helmet that changes between being weak to fire and ice attacks, and each time it does this, changing the move set of Skorchill himself.

This makes Skorchill one of the most varied boss encounters in the game, always keeping Zelda on her toes, and the only weakness is ho𒊎w awkward it can be waiting for your E♏cho to hit his weak spot. But aside from this, it's a fun challenge.

3 Mogryph

The Next Stage of Mole Evolution

Zelda stands over Mogryph's dead body in Echoes of Wisdom.

For an early-game bo🔯ss, Mogryph is definitely more of a challenge, especially when compared to Seismic Talus before it. What makes Mogryph such a tough enemy to take down are its aggressive attacks, tricky battlefield, and its var♎ied move set.

If you finished Echoes of Wisdom and want more adventures like these, here are some titles with similar mechanics𒊎 and aesthetics.

However, with how varied Mogryph's attacks are, so are the ways that Zelda can take the boss down. You can choose to either attﷺack it directly when it's attacking you too, or try and lure it into hitting an obstacle for♐ a longer opportunity to hit the boss uninterrupted.

2 Null

Multi-Phase Monstrosity

Null enters his final form at the end of Echoes of Wisdom.

Being the final boss, Null, of course, needs to be a tricky challenge as well as a spectacle too. It lives up to both of these with multiple phases, and various forms 𝄹of attacking both Link and Zelda.

The gauntlet of different phases of fighting Null means you'll need to have a hearty stock of healing supplies going in. The main thing holding this aggressive final threat back is Zelda being unable to use the Sword of Might, stuck relying on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Link and Echoes, so if you want a more active role in the fight, 📖make sure you have unlocked all the automatons.

1 Volvagia

Return Of An Ocarina Classic

Zelda activates her swordfighter form to fight Volvagia in Echoes of Wisdom.

Eldin Temple is one of the more linear dungeons in Echoes of Wisdom, and it uses this to its strength, and t🙈he same can be said for Volvagia, returning for the first time since Ocarina of𒀰 Time.

Volvagia's design leans into ☂the strengths of Echoes of Wisdom as a whole, being both a test of combat and platforming skills, with an int🎶eresting arena that makes the boss feel like an intense version of wack-a-mole, similar to the dragon's design in Ocarina of Time.
