Crafting the Greatest Final Boss

Not all stories have characters. Those that do do not always have an antagonist. However, a villain is often found in certain genres, and particularly in epics. This is where we enter the realm of Zelda—a high fantasy that, since its birth, has centered squarely upon a single narrative: the emergence of evil and the subsequent rise of a hero to quell it. We've seen it in many shapes and forms, but some things remain constant—there is only ever one great villain, and there is only ever one hero.
