Moldorm (A Link to the Past)
With A Link to the Past, the Zelda series began refining its combat and physics, and found exciting new ways for its bosses to be extremely trolly. Perhaps the trolliest of the bunch is Moldorm, who you first face in the Temple of Hera. Moldorm isn’t particularly tough, but what makes the fight memorable is the way that it takes place atop a tower, on a platform that has a big hole in it and no walls along the edges. When the segmented worm-like creature hits you, it knocks you back a good distance, which means it’s pretty easy to find yourself falling off the edge, sinking a floor or two back into the dungeon, and having to make your way back to its lofty platform to begin the fight with again. Like I said, trolly as heck. — Carolyn Petit
