    Just finished God of War 3 recently and the timing for the topic is perfect. I encountered a really hard mini boss fight near the end of the game against a cerberus and that 1 satyr, I kid you not that took me much more time than beating the final boss. It was so frustrating to the point that after I looked for walkthrough videos everyone on the comments agreed about the same sentiment.

But the Valkery Queen and the king beserker, they're way harder than any other boss in Ragnarok even if you drop the difficulty to give me story - that is unless you practice and practice and get talented enough to whoop their butts (like the guy who defeated the King in about 15 seconds on GMGW and another who defeated the Queen without upgrades (kratos lvl 1 - no runics) on GMGW.

    2nd Croco fight in Super Mario RPG. If you haven't learned to not skip battles in a Square game and just rush through the levels, he will trounce you in the mole mines. What makes him more difficult than the final boss is that he takes your items away during battle, forcing you to limit those Geno boosts, and HP Rains.

    Honestly for my version of this list I would definitely put breath of the wild’s Lynels. Not only do they have a lot of health, they hit extremely hard, especially compared to most of the other bosses in the game. Thunderblight ganon may be annoying with its insane speed, but I have been one shoted by the lynels almost every time i approach one. Also they are most certainly a whole lot harder than the final boss if you beat the divine beasts, as well as compared to the other mini boss of the game, which is master kohga

    The dreamrunners in DmC: Devil May Cry. On lower difficulties they're hard enough at first. They portal away and they re-portal to a random location, they can block everything, they can counter most of your attacks, and there's basically only one way to get any hits on them, but they come alone, and once you get used to their attack pattern then they're manageable. On harder difficulties they are harder than the bosses. They come in pairs, they're faster, less predictable, and hit harder. They are the most memorably difficult enemies from that game, to me.
    I platinumed that game, one of the only games I ever 100%ed as far as trophies, so I spent a good amount of time replaying it, and since it's been years that I've played it I forgot about most things in that game, I can barely remember the bosses, but I clearly remember those things. I remember getting stuck at one point for hours because there were multiple pairs of them in a level. You would finally beat one pair and then another pair would appear just around the corner. Mind you there are still other minions and mini bosses around too so it's not like you can focus your sole attention on them.

    The final boss in Horizon Zero Dawn wasn't that difficult. Yes, its guns hit like a truck and it has a ton of HP, but it only moves slowly, and the attack patterns are quite predictable.
    I found the daemonic fireclaws that serve as minibosses in the expansion far hrder to fight.
    They are virtually immune to elemental attacks, have a ton of HP, a wide range of ranged and mele attacks that hit like a freight train and they are fast and highly agressive.
    In Destiny 2's Witch Queen expansion, I found Brutiks Lightbane to be a harder, or at least more frustrating, boss than the final boss fight against Savathun.
    While she does have a mass of health and unleashes Supers at about the same frequency as she breaths, she isn't agressively chasing you around or swarming you with highly agressive mele minions like Brutiks does.

    Gotta agree about Dark Link in OoT, especially if you use the Master Sword, as the Biggoron Sword makes it easier as Dark Link can't jump onto the blade for a free hit, the two-handed sword deals more damage & has greater reach than the Megaton Hammer!
