No bro that made my jaw drop okay that was awesome I had no clue he was actually going to have like any sort of battle sense and then the way he kept switching between the weapons and how you could just swat the projectiles away and earn your stolen hearts back it was amazing

The pure PANIC watching his health bar KEEP FRICKEN GROWING STRAIGHT OFF THE SCREEN. Then you’re like nah that’s purely cinematic, I’m sure somethings gonna happen that brings it back. Nothing happens. Just you fighting a dude with alot of health.
It seems like the theme of the blights and calamity ganon is to remind us how terrified we were and how angered we were trying to beat them and reminding us this is how they all formed
And nothing about the Ocarina of Time remix in the very beginning setting the tone of epicness? Come on man. That added to the perfection of this theme.
@SmurfkillerSquee sorry, I don't have as much nostalgia for that theme, lol. Botw was my first Zelda game (I'm 21, just didn't check out the franchise for a long time) It's always nice to hear, but I honestly thought the BOTW theme was going to stay in that game, where the OOT theme has come back multiple times, I believe
@@Insert.Oregano Actually, I think, before this, that the only time the OOC ganon battle was brought back was in the OOC remakes. They've always done a good job giving Ganon a different theme every game (except how his theme in Four Swords Adventures is a remix of the Ganon theme in Link to the past).
I love the way he beckons link forward with his finger. He must've been exhilarated to find someone of equal power to fight him. A true epic final battle with the famed swordsman of the future.
Ganondorf being able to perfect dodge your attacks is a great way of showing that he was just as good as fighter as Link. In addition he uses a Sword, Lance, Club and Bow. A 1v1 fight between two skilled fighters.
Ganondorf's fight in TotK is basically a mirror fight of yourself: He wields a Demon Bow He can use parry on your arrows He uses a one handed weapon (Gloom Sword) He uses a long range two handed weapon (Gloom Spear) He uses a heavy two handed weapon (Gloom Club) He can Flurry Rush your attacks He summons 5 Phantom Ganons as his own dark versions of the Sage's Vows When he activates his secret stone to transform into the Demon King, it's the equivalent of eating a hearty food to regain his back to full and the temporary health is the part that extends all the way to the corner of the screen
I like how it’s like the blights, which has weapons and skills that are targeting the champions they’re targeting. Ganondorf is exactly that, but his target is Link.
Hearing the blight theme come back only at the very end was so fantastic. They knew exactly how powerful that theme was and they made you think it wasn't going to return just so they could make it more impactful here
To put in perspective how powerful this version of Demon King Ganondorf is, during the final phase of his boss fight, he can easily break most of your shields in only 3-4 hits. Even a *brand new Hylian Shield* won't last much longer than a dozen hits! When you consider all of the other incarnations of the Demon King throughout the series, and none of the others can even *scratch it*, it's no wonder Rauru had no choice but to try and seal him away.
@@snekladyrobin I had a guard up Hylian Shield, and it tanked everything for me. Projectiles, the stupid delay on sword attacks, even the floor smash. It never broke
@@Rage983all shields are vulnerable to gloom attacks. In my case, while the hylian shield blocked normal attacks, 2 gloom attacks were enough to break it
the influence from Princess Mononoke (ghibli in general) in this game design is so cool to me like in the instant ganon used his magic for the first time in the prologue i was like "holy shit its like the demon god in mononoke" even this music here sounds very inspired by that scene with the drums in the bg and it slaps
The motif that plays when the sages arrive at 0:36 gets me every time. The build up and spectacle of this boss fight keeps me coming back to challenge Ganondorf over and over
I fought and completed the game with Yiga armor, cause I thought it was funny and ironic that a random Yiga footsoldier had enough of Ganon and just took the matter into their own hands, not caring about Zelda.
@erufenrito66 there is both a choir with vocals AND an intensifying violin that plays in the background. it's most obvious later on when it grows louder
You could do that, orrrrrrr, you could send his projectiles back at him with the Master Sword. Nothing cooler than when that circle of gloom closes in on you, and you spin attack all of it right back at him.
His healthbar increasing was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in a Zelda boss till date. Fighting him with the Champions Outfit gave this the feeling of destiny.
I didn't fight clammy gan with the champions tunic in botw. I made sure to upgrade my champions tunic fully in totk to make it the ultimate rematch 17 years in the making
*counters your flurry rush by flurry rushing you in return* “Wait…. That’s illegal!” *permanently reduces your health after a direct hit* “Ok now you’re just being a dick!”
the reason calamity ganon existed was because it was ganondorfs malice and rage leaking out, ganons purpose was to destroy and weaken hyrule and then free ganondorf, its why calamity ganon appeared at the castle, were it not for zelda keeping calamity ganon in check for a hundred years, ganondorf would of been freed and unleashed upon a broken fractured world that would have no chance against him
My reaction to this song was: 0:00 IS THE OCARINA OF TIME SONG WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING GANONDORF HOLY SHIT 0:57 WAIT THIS IS THE BREATH OF THE WILD MAIN THEME WTF 1:31 THE MUSIC THAT THEY USED FOR THE TRAILER OF THE DIRECT FEBRUARY 2023 WAS THE FINAL BOSS SONG WTF 1:36 This just became my favorite part, is just soooo epic 2:39 THIS IS THE FINAL BATTLE BOSS THEME FROM BOTW REIMAGINATED FOR TEARS OF THE KINGDOM WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT THIS SO SICK (really, this song combined with Link and Ganondorf flury rushering each other is the best thing that i experienced in the franchise)
Oh yeah 1:36 was EASILY my favorite part! That bad ass music plus a raw 1v1 with these two beast just flurry rushing each other is pure GOLDEEN also nice nayuta pfp!
“Oh man he’s hurting me a lot, I’ll just use food to-“ “Wait, he can BREAK MY HEART CONTAINERS? I can’t heal hearts if they DONT EXIST!” Pure panic for the rest of the fight.
From the comments I'm reading in this section, it sounds like a lot of you just rushed to face him instead of doing the PROPER thing by visiting shrines and building up your stamina and max hearts. Not to mention leveling up your clothing to the point his standard attacks do very little damage. Otherwise he's basically like most other melee-weapon wielding enemies in that you can just flurry rush his attacks. Even when he flurry rushes you back, flurry rush him right back. The health bar was definitely a "whoa" moment, but otherwise this was one of the easier Zelda final boss fights.
@@nahor88I finished every shrine and upgraded my armour quite a bit, I still managed to struggle barely making it through, and sure I’m not the best player ever but I was still forced to play well enough to beat it rather than cruising through because I did everything
Three ways to eff up an Botw/Totk player's mind: 1.Break the limits of boss health bar 2. Easily decimate Hylian Shield with 2 attacks 3. Flurry Rush the player's Flurry Rush
In the best possible way, this fight reminded me of the Soul of Cinder from Dark Souls 3. Weapon swapping, using the player's special skills against them, bringing back old musical motifs from previous games, having a fiery second phase... I'll bet there was some inspiration drawn from DS3!
Ganondorf gave me quite a fight to be sure. I never would've expected him to be able to pull off flurry rushes of his own. He even ended up shattering my Hylian Shield.
Its cool how link has a whole ass team to fight Ganondorf. also, theme turning into Calamity Ganon's theme is perfect since they're literally the same dude.
Oh shoot, he's rehealing- wait... WHY IS IT STILL GOING? HE FLURRY RUSHED ME? HE STRAIGHT-UP DELETED MY HEARTS? Man... this game is just full of surprises.
The health bar almost going past the screen is so badass... Love how much this fight is like a mix of Twilight Princess' Ganondorf battle and the temple bosses in this game
The music in this encounter gave me goosebumps all the way from the progression through the depths to the final phase. It builds up slowly, and to such an immensely satisfying crescendo. The experience of this fight really matches how intense it's supposed to be in the story
Beginning is a direct copy of the Ganondorf battle theme from OOT. I think that theme is generally thought of in a 23/16 meter, but it's such an odd meter that 23/4 and alternating 11/4 and 12/4 are just as plausible along with a dozen other interpretations
yo i heard this play in the game and popped off because i thought the second trailer music was really good and thought it wasnt gonna be in the game after i had already played so much
In case there was ANY doubt, the fact that the blight ganons and calamity Ganon all share the same theme as link going 1 on 1 with Ganondorf in hid powered up state confirms the calamity was a puppet by Ganondorf
My interpretation was that calamity was a concentration of gloom made with the intent of freeing Ganondorf, but for that it neede a body which is the purpose of the cocoon in hyrule castle on BotW
@@degg7129 In a way it did accomplish it though. Ganondorf's character profile says he was able to break free because the Calamity weakened Rauru's seal.

NO WAY.

I feel like this is what Nintendo wanted the fight with Demise to be but couldn't due to hardware limitations
I like the moment where ganon forces link into a 1v1, I wonder if there’s some sort of begrudging respect ganon has for link in that moment.

Love the motif from ALTTP Ganon in the background, and I think I hear Twilight Princess' as well?
Hearing Calamity Ganon theme here is such as "Now you've discovered the real source of the main enemy from the last game"

Agreed.
Bro. A hero of legend. Passed down. I vision all the ghosts of the previous Link’s standing watching from heaven above. As Link takes on Ganondorf.
Three ways to eff up an Botw/Totk player's mind:
1.Break the limits of boss health bar
2. Easily decimate Hylian Shield with 2 attacks
3. Flurry Rush the player's Flurry Rush

I wanted to add some of the TOTK songs to my playlist, and you literally added this while I was looking
When Ganon flurry rushed my flurry rush I just about screamed in confusion
Tulin don't fail me now, Tulin? TULIN!!!
My God look at his health bar! TULIN!!!
Hahaha me to. Same here. İt was so scary the health bar. İt got so big. O man.
This is just not your average gloom, this is...
*ADVANCED GLOOM*
The health bar almost going past the screen is so badass... Love how much this fight is like a mix of Twilight Princess' Ganondorf battle and the temple bosses in this game
I love the little fiddle/flute breakdown at 1:15
A glitch! That was my first thought seeing the health bar going far beyond! 😂 The fear when I realized it wasn't... 😳
Could you imagine if, in a potential Master Mode, his health bar wrapped all the way around to create a red line across the entire screen?
And regen quicker after taking your or the sages health.
holy FUCK that intro to the second phase with his health bar going crazy high, the theme, is all just perfection, what a fight
The music in this encounter gave me goosebumps all the way from the progression through the depths to the final phase. It builds up slowly, and to such an immensely satisfying crescendo. The experience of this fight really matches how intense it's supposed to be in the story
This gave me ptsd on my first try
1:36 Is the most awesome thing I've ever heard
Dang the composer was cooking up a feast in the recording room
I just realized the beginning is in 23/4, or alternating between 11/4 and 12/4
That's crazy
Beginning is a direct copy of the Ganondorf battle theme from OOT. I think that theme is generally thought of in a 23/16 meter, but it's such an odd meter that 23/4 and alternating 11/4 and 12/4 are just as plausible along with a dozen other interpretations
I laughed when I saw his health bar increase so much
I was scrwaming when the healthbar just WENT TO THE END OF THE SCREEN!?!??!
healthbar bigger than my forehead
i like this comment
I like how it start with his ocarina of time theme and mixes with his other themes.
Bro can break a hylian in two hits
The music that was in the second trailer that plays at 1:28 and onward is so good and no one talks about it
I do all the time. This is the best part of the demon king fight for me
yo i heard this play in the game and popped off because i thought the second trailer music was really good and thought it wasnt gonna be in the game after i had already played so much
I got so scared because I thought Gannon was going to kill me
In case there was ANY doubt, the fact that the blight ganons and calamity Ganon all share the same theme as link going 1 on 1 with Ganondorf in hid powered up state confirms the calamity was a puppet by Ganondorf
I think the calamity was the expression of his power and the absence of him
Behind able to properly reincarnate due to Rauru
My interpretation was that calamity was a concentration of gloom made with the intent of freeing Ganondorf, but for that it neede a body which is the purpose of the cocoon in hyrule castle on BotW
@@degg7129 In a way it did accomplish it though. Ganondorf's character profile says he was able to break free because the Calamity weakened Rauru's seal.
Ganandorf: steals a heart with magic
Me: equips fierce deity armor
1:02
Enjoy these final moments
I’ll be taking far more than your arm this time
