Guide Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: How To Defeat Gloom Hands
I'll take a Wallmaster any day, thanks
Gloom Hands. Gloom Spawn (as they're officially known). Whatever you want to call them, this creature is one of the most terrifying additions in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You can run into these foes at any point during your adventure — and if you're still early on, four hearts and Archaic Armour won't do...

Cooking on gas

Guide Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: How To Defeat Queen Gibdo
Buzzing
While the Lightning Temple plays out the most like a traditional Zelda dungeon, the boss structure is a fair bit different to many of the series' other encounters. This is your final encounter during the Riju of Gerudo Town Main Quest. For one, you've already met Queen Gibdo earlier in Zelda: Tears of the Ki
Guide Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: How To Defeat Mucktorok
One mucky puppy
It's not often that bosses get silly in the Zelda franchise, but when they do, they're pretty memorable. Tears of the Kingdom's Water Temple is home to one of the series' most unusual boss fights, and while funny on the service, can be a bit of a mess. If you're doing the Regional Phenomena quest in our recommended order, this will
