The ?3 or four? evil sisters on the demon ship in LoZ: Phantom Hourglass. I mean, heck, who else gets to play a deadly game of dodgeball with swords and exploding blue things?
It was a little annoying though. Spotty detection. But cool.

Agahnim (A Link to the Past)
Agahnim's Shadow (Link's Awakening)
Phantom Ganon (Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker)
Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)
Possessed Zelda (Twilight Princess)
And kinda with Beast Malladus (Spirit Tracks)

Those are the ones I can think of so far. =P

As far as the most fun to beat, i liked that reanimated skeleton thing from the desert temple place in Twilight Princess. Hell, I love anything that has to do with the spinner, and I wish it had been incorporated more.

I agree with Link's Awakening. That makes two awards for Link's Awakening: Best video game boss and most irritating owl.
Ocarina of Time has a bunch of points if were counting. My own vote included. Plus Ocarina has its own annoying owl as well ;D

Well, with Possessed Zelda (or whatever her boss name was called...) you got to swing the Wii-Remote. But apart from that, point taken.

Props to the bosses of I Wanna Be The Guy for being some of the hardest bosses ever made. The Extra stage bosses of the TouHou games also get credit.

In spirit tracks, a good one is the bug. God, things have scaled up quite a bit. Not to say it had good gamplay at that moment, but it was cool.

I'm a little annoyed - the disc of CTR is damaged beyond pepare, so the lonely PSX behind me has nothing to play.

I beat that guy yesterday (got Spirit Tracks for Christmas). And I agree, it is a pretty awesome fight. =D

Metal Sonic/Neo Metal Sonic/Metallix was a brilliant enemy. I personally thought the Metal Overlord fight was very fun, and often challenged myself to beat him within one loop of "What I'm Made Of" (awesome song).

My only problem... Is the line before the Metal Madness fight. "Let's all show him (Sonic doing a pirouette at this point) the real super power of TEAMWORK!"
