The 7 Worst Bosses in The Legend of Zelda Series

Head Thwomp – The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Just like King Dodongo, the Head Thwomp basically boils down to throwing a bomb into the boss’ overly exposed weak spot. Since this boss is basically a glorified mini-game, all the player needs to do is either ride the rotating platforms or just stand on the edge and hurl explosives at it. While it can get a bit tricky once the fireballs start spewing out, the Head Thwomp is overly generous with the amount of hearts it offers the player after each successful attack. There isn’t much more to this boss, which is rather disappointing since visually it’s at least unique to the series. Despite being a clear homage to the monsters in the Mario games, Zelda’s interpretation leaves much to be desired.
