Blind (A Link to the Past)
What makes the fight against Blind the Thief so interesting is that it starts off so unassuming. Link is guiding a distressed young woman through a dungeon, because he’s Link. That’s what he does. It’s in the job description that he’s here to save women who are going through it at the hands of Ganon and his minions. However, when the girl is exposed to sunlight, her true form becomes apparent: a fiery demon dressed in a flowing white robe. As Link swings his sword at the beast, its head detaches from its body and multiplies, each spitting balls of flame to the point that it almost starts to feel like a shoot ‘em up level. Blind’s death releases the girl from its clutches, but not before it’s tricked you into guiding it through the dungeon. They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but I don’t think this is what they had in mind. — Kenneth Shepard
