Hardest Bosses In The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (2024)

One of the most defining things in a Zelda game is the bosses. They are puzzles unto themselves because there is usually a trick to vanquishing them. For example, King Dodongo in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time needs to swallow bombs. He will get weakened enough for players to attack it directly with a sword.

6 Things To Do First In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is another expansive Nintendo Switch adventure, and players will want to do a few things as soon as possible.

The bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom naturally have a puzzle aspect to their fights as well. They may not be the hardest bosses in the Zelda series, but they can certainly put up a fight. Let’s rank out the hardest ones.

6 Null

The Final Boss Is Challenging But Not The Ultimate One

  • Location: Null’s Body

Null is finally revealed in this boss fight, and it looks like a bigger and more deformed version of Tri. Even though it is the final boss, it is not the hardest in the game, surprisingly. If players kept up with their side quests, Zelda should be pretty powerful by this point in the campaign.

Also, with the assistance of Link, the combined force is a bit OP. That said, this battle is driven more by stamina than strength since Null has three forms, the middle of which is an interesting 2D battle, a rarity in the game and overall series. While not exactly easy, players probably won’t die if they come in prepared. It’s also a novel idea to have the two heroes fight alongside each other.

5 Mogryph

This Mole Has The Power Of Speed And Flight

  • Location: Gerudo Sanctum

Mogryph will probably be the second major boss players fight if they go to the Gerudo Desert area. It’s located in the Gerudo Sanctum of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. At first, it behaves like a fast mole, ramming into players and chucking sand like nobody’s business. After damaging it enough times, it will then grow wings, which is a wild transformation.

Its speed and use of sand cyclones make this boss a tricky one. The best way to defeat it is to surround Zelda with heavy stones and pray Mogryph will speed into them, stunning it long enough to get a few sword strokes in with Echoes of Wisdom’s Swordfighter form.

4 Vocavor

Water Bosses Are As Tough As Water Levels

  • Location: Jabul Ruins

Vocavor is the main boss of the Jabul Ruins in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and it looks like a giant shrimp blended with a seahorse. This boss fight involves a lot of chasing as it will glide in between water pillars with ease while players will struggle to keep up.

Hopefully, players had bought the Zora’s Flippers accessory in the River Zora Village to help them swim faster. The easiest way to defeat Vocavor is to throw a Bombfish at it, which should pop all of its back bubbles. Once those are broken, it will fall and allow players to whack it.

3 Lord Jabu-Jabu

A Kirby Style Aquatic Boss

  • Location: Jabul Ruins

Lord Jabu-Jabu is a recurring character within the Zelda franchise who is typically linked to the Zora people. In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, it has been infected with the void’s darkness. This will be a pre-boss before getting into the Jabul Ruins, and he is tougher than Vocavor. The arena is small and Lord Jabu-Jabu will send out minions from his mouth to attack players and anything they are trying to craft in the water.

Eventually, he will start to suck in Kirby-style and when that happens, players need to drop a Bombfish in the water. When Lord Jabu-Jabu swallows it, the Bombfish will explode, thus stunning it momentarily. The challenge comes from trying to deal with the minions, Lord Jabu-Jabu’s enormous appetite, and keeping objects afloat.

2 Lanayru Slime

An Increasing Number Of Bosses With A Tricky Gimmick

  • Location: Lanayru Temple

The mini-boss of the Lanayru Temple does not have a name. As it looks like a giant green slime, let’s just call it the Lanayru Slime. While the main boss of the dungeon is no pushover, Skorchill, the Lanayru Slime is harder. Players have to figure out that they need to freeze it before they can damage it.

Dampé is a budding engineer with some wild robots to accompany Zelda.

Players should release an Ice Keese Echo repeatedly to attack the boss. Once the Lanayru Slime freezes, players can then attack it, but then the real trouble will begin. It will split in two and keep on splitting as players repeat this process. Trying to dodge all of these slimes, freeze them, and damage them is a juggling act that not many can handle in such a tight room. Hopefully, players come prepared with a lot of smoothies in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, especially those that replenish energy, to make full use of that Swordfighter form.

1 Ganon (Second Time)

Zelda’s True Lord Of Darkness Only Makes A Brief Cameo

Hardest Bosses In The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (9)
  • Location: Hyrule Castle

Ganon is the main antagonist of the Zelda series or his other form, Ganondorf. It seems fitting then that he truly is the hardest boss in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom even though he’s like the midway fight in the game. After facing three trials, players will return to Hyrule Castle, which has been swallowed by a rift.

At the end of this rift dungeon, Ganon will appear with several of his abilities, returning from the tutorial fight with Link. He’s fast, his double-ended trident packs a punch and has a long reach, and he has a lot of HP. Even if players did side quests and maxed out the Might Crystal upgrades to that point, players may have some trouble. Ganon is not an entity that should be reckoned with.
