Goht from Majora’s Mask often receives praise as one of the best bosses in the game, but there’s a very not often talked about trick to the fight.
If you just simply stand in the doorway of the entrance to his arena and shoot him with Fire Arrows every time he laps around to that area, you can take him down without him ever even being able to hit you. The pots that refill your arrows and magic even respawn.
This is the method I used the first ever time I fought Goht and I think it’s the kind of thing that overly critical people on the internet would make fun of the game and/or Nintendo for.
And if we’re being honest, it’s not a very fun method of fighting Goht with. It’s slow, it’s tedious, and it just feels cheap.
But it does present another thing I appreciate about the fight with Goht. It shows a great example of how even if there’s a lame way to cheese a boss fight, you don’t have to use it. I think it’s far better to just fight a boss with a method you enjoy rather than complain about a tedious method that you don’t even have to use being present at all.
