For those who keep an eye on the community blog scene, you may have seen me post late last week that Miniboss Monday would be returning. As promised, here is the second installment of our (hopefully) weekly feature in which we highlight the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous miniboss fights of gaming's past. Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get goin'!
Today's miniboss is none other than Moldorm from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This boss is notoriously annoying for its stage of battle and its bouncy head. It takes roughly five hits to take him down, but getting that fifth hit without getting hit by a wormy freight train can be challenging. I can't remember how many times I got knocked off by this googly-eyed guardian, but I can remember the frustration it caused. Not only do you have to march back up the stairs if you get knocked off, you have to start the fight completely over. For the first-time player, this can be rather daunting and particularly soul-crushing, at best.
But, in truth, shouldn't we feel sad for Moldorm? I mean, look at him. He looks like a fuzzy, deranged Slinky with a coke addiction. Perhaps his constant turmoil of being trapped in such a confined space atop a lonesome tower had driven him to a life of excess. Yes, perhaps there is an E! True Hollywood story to be found here, but that is for another time.
Nonetheless, I can vouch that Moldorm had caused me frustration in my earlier days of gaming, but nowadays I can best him without a scratch. What about the rest of you? Do you recall your first few fights with this gigantic Glo-Worm? How did you fair?
That's all for this week. If you have any suggestions for future Miniboss Mondays, don't hesiitate to leave a comment.

I grew up with a Genesis.
I remember Moldorm in that "Holy Shit!" kinda way. He moved so fluidly! I (Link) was still stuck facing north/south/east/west while this guy seemed to move smoothly and swiftly in tight circles and great arcs. Beating him wasn't all that difficult, although I did fall a few times. I just remember this battle as being very echilirating, although I should attribute a lot of that to the awesome music (another way I knew the SNES was something special).
I fucking hated that stupid worm, he has knocked me down 21098432048231'48921485843982573892753248597235098 times from his stupid plataform.
I tried to commit suicide each time this boss threw me over the edge.
But, "Boss Battle Monday" just doesn't roll off the tongue.
I beat this guy when i still was ver young, around the age of 8 perhaps (got into gaming rather early).
First, i was only allowed to see my parents play sections of zelda (and the game looked rather different through my eyes, has something to do with being a infant) but i got my shot at it rather soon.
then i got to moldorm, i first watched him from the ledge you have to jump off from thinking: Do i have to face that?
after i while i got the courage to jump in and face it, i was constantly swiping at it's face scared of the bleeding thing before i noticed that it's tail is the weak spot.
after a cat and mouse chase, including manny falls, i got him to full speed, and it scared the heck out of me, I would carefully cower in the little space between the hole and the edge watching him scurry around and get freaked out whenever he entered my hideout.
My final strike was when i went out for the kill and he just bounced off the little hole (the right side of it) and his tail followed the rest of his body, right onto my sword.
you probably lost so many times cause you mistook link for moldorm. bad eyes savant has bad eyes.
