Tears Of The Kingdom is no different. Some of the bosses you will defeat on the first attempt, while others may have you trying over and over to vanquish them from the roster of remaining opponents.
Update by Chad Thesen on 09 July 2025:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has plenty of bosses throughout the game. Some of these bosses are expected along the Main Quests, while others can pop up at the end of a Side Quest. Some bosses don’t even need a quest and are triggered just by exploring and stumbling into one. This update will expand upon the limited number of entries from the previous update.
15Seized Construct
This fight is an utter cakewalk once you know how to fight this boss. Some players might struggle with this fight and take several attempts due to how heavy this boss can hit. Once you go up to the seized construct to start the fight, head right, and you will see two spiked balls.
Equip one of them. Shoot rockets at the boss whenever there is a distance between the two of you and constantly be advancing closer, relentlessly pummeling the boss with the spiked ball whenever you are close.
While there is distance and the boss tries to shoot at you, just walk sideways while also moving slightly forward at the same time. This means you will dodge all of its attacks and get back into close range to continue to hit it with a spiked ball.
14Colgera, Scourge of the Wind Temple
This boss is one that a lot of players will get through with ease. To defeat this boss, players will need to control the rate they fall and when to deploy their glider. Maneuvering constantly while being aware of nearby tornados will avoid any potential damage.
Link will have to make use of their bow to shoot out all the chrystal discs throughout the body of this enemy. Once all the discs are destroyed, they will explode, and players will enjoy some charming music and cut scene that shows where to go to next.
13Demon Dragon, Draconified Demon King
This is what happens when Demon King Ganondorf takes the form of a powerful dragon for a final air-based battle. Like with Colgera, you will need to time when to use your glider and when to drop. Unlike Colgera, you will need to land on Demon Dragon and deal damage to the many-eyed spheres on its body to deal damage.
Demon Dragon will spray lots of flaming spheres into the air, and they will rain down from above. You will also need to dodge these spheres while directly above Demon Dragon as they come at you.
12Phantom Ganon, Scourge of the Deku Tree
The first time you encounter Phantom Ganon will have you square off in a one-on-one fight with a distorted-looking image of Ganon. This battle feels less like a boss battle and more like an elite enemy.
It hits hard and can get some blows in, but if you come at them with some range, such as a spear, you will be able to strike until they telegraph their next move and safely dodge out of harm’s way. This is a fight you will be able to brute force your way through.
11Sludge Like, Ambusher of Mipha Court
Sidon is one of the returningcharacters from Breath of the Wild. At this point in the game, they will use their power to shield them from you. You will be able to use this to create an attack made from water. Sludge Like will cover the fighting area in large blobs of slime.
Touching this slime will cause you to slow down significantly and make being hit by attacks more likely. It may not be possible to dodge them every time, but it is best to reduce this by as much as possible. If you have some splash fruit, these can be used against Sludge Like.
10Mucktorok, Scourge of the Water Temple
Mucktorok will move over the surface of the ground at high speeds in the form of a sludge-looking shark. When it leaps into the air, you will need to be ready to leap up, as it will create a shockwave upon landing back on the ground.

It will also unleash a beam that will move across the fighting area, it is not fast, but you will need to time your jumps to avoid being hit by it. Later in the fight, they will cover portions of the area in sludge. Water attacks will be crucial in this fight, but you’re able to implore the use of Splash Fruit, just like with the Sludge Like fight.
9Marbled Gohma, Scourge of the Fire Temple
Marbled Gohma is a huge enemy but has a strait forward strategy. Once you destroy its legs, it will fall to the ground and be open to attack. Hop onto its head and deal as much damage as possible to its exposed eye. You will need to repeat this several times before it goes down for good. At one point, it will head up onto the roof and drop large pieces of itself. You will need to dodge these large chunks, as well as explosions.
8Phantom Ganon, The Demon King’s Phantom Saboteur
This is the second time you will encounter a Phantom Ganon boss, and it will be significantly harder than the last. This fight feels more like a boss fight over the previous one. It brings multiple large threats in a finite area to move, each of which packs really heavy-hitting attacks.

The clubs are slow, while the spear is something to be ready to dodge when the boss lunges at you. These phantoms will disappear and reappear at different points. Make use of the staircase whenever the ground starts to be encased in black and red ooze.
7Queen Gibdo, Scourge of the Lightning Temple
This is another one of the Temple bosses; it will reposition and charge through the area. Meaning you will constantly need to be ready to run in a specific direction to avoid being hit. It will also telegraph large areas where its attacks will be, along with distorting visibility. It will fly off and force players to give chase.
Doing so will reset its health. At one point, it will take to the skies and fire a black beam of energy at Link. All in all, this is a fight that constantly sees you needing to avoid potential harm, and is easy to become overwhelmed.
6Demon King’s Army, War in the Depths of Hyrule
At first, this seemed like it would just be a climactic build-up meant to give players a sense of hype and enjoyment. That dream is quickly dashed once players come to realize this is still a serious fight that will require a lot of their knowledge from playing the game to overcome.
The sheer number of enemies makes it easy to become overwhelmed and take significant damage. Players are recommended to make use of turrets to help thin out the horde of enemies. Just keep fighting, activating turrets, and healing, and you’ll get through it.
