Demon Train (Spirit Tracks)
As its title suggests, much of Spirit Tracks revolves around riding in a train and seeing where the tracks take you. That includes a fight against a living locomotive called the Demon Train that marries a high-speed chase with an all-out assault. Both sides are shooting cannonballs and other explosives at one another all while Link has to navigate hazards the Demon Train throws onto the tracks. It’s an excellent showcase for Spirit Tracks’ unusual train gameplay, requiring you to accelerate and decelerate to avoid the onslaught of explosives and lasers. This encounter encapsulates what makes Spirit Tracks special, and there’s nothing else really like it in the Zelda continuum. — Kenneth Shepard
