Link is a hero, that’s his destiny – and any hero needs to overcome villains. Of course, he encounters hostility throughout his adventures, but beating up a bunch of cannon fodder baddies like Bokoblins and ChuChus doesn’t strike anyone as being especially heroic. To prove himself as the legendary hero he’s supposed to be, Link needs to take on rather more dangerous foes, from unassuming regular-sized wizards to giant dragons and skeletal monstrosities.
