Between solving puzzles and navigating the sky, mainland, and the depths in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’re bound to come face to face with some of the towering species that roam the land. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we met the likes of Lynel and Hinox which felt like a feat to face with three heart containers to your name, but before long you could take them on with a well-timed flurry rush and a pocket full of snacks.
Boss battles played a part in the general experience, but they didn’t feel as make or break as they have in previous games. You can imagine my surprise in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being home to a number of genuinely intimidating bosses. Of course, I expected to find a few familiar faces, but there is a whole new realm of horror I wasn’t expecting to face, and frankly, it’s a welcomed addition.
