Bosses and enemies
Find bosses and recurring enemies by dungeon. The Lizalfos profile expands on its encounter pattern, while Dead Hand and the final fight appear in the table.
The list
The final fight is Ganondorf’s, and the character page covers the design and the voice. This table is the combat record: where they show up and what the notes say about a weakness. If the remake-change cell is empty, the record did not have a sourced difference and I did not invent one.
Dead Hand is associated with the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple in the classic quest. Its row is a reference to that encounter; a blank remake-change cell does not establish a redesigned fight.
