[EDITING] The Legend of Zelda: Goddess of Secrecy

Mini Boss 1 - Bear Warrior Bark-Bite

...soon to be replaced by a massive, hulking figure. Parts of a bearskin hung around the eight-foot tall, five-foot wide monster that came out of the tunnel. Skulls hung around the creature's belt, bleached white at some point, though they were splattered and stained once more. Purple skin was showing beneath the pelts, distantly linking this creature to the bokoblin.

It was the massive wooden club that concerned Link more though. It had to be at least three feet thick, and twice as long as his sword. One swing from that and you probably wouldn't get back up.

A screech went up through the crowd, the spectators finally taking notice of Link...and his sword. The bokoblin in the center of the arena stopped his pointless waving to follow the crowd's outcry. When it saw him still armed, it roared, before charging at Link, swinging aimlessly as it tried to land a blow in its fury.

The wild cuts were easy to parry. Link's sword staggered the monster for a moment, stumbling back a half step in its stupor. Before he could finish the bokoblin off, a massive fist slammed into the purple skinned monster's jaw. It stumbled over itself, releasing the blade from its hand.

Bruce bent over and gripped his hilt, and swung the blade through the bokoblin's chest. He's found his nerve again, Link thought with relief. Which was good, because the crowd was starting to pour in. Link found himself back-to-back with Bruce as the massive bokoblin came at them from one side, a mob of enemies pooling out of the stadium on the other.

"Which one do you want to take?" Bruce asked, as if either was a good choice.

Link pushed forward towards the massive bokoblin, unsure how long Bruce's new confidence would last. He heard cries of pain from behind him as bokoblins started to fall to Bruce's blade. He whistled, and Yore dove down from above, pecking at the heads of bokoblins.

Slowing down, Link stared up at the enemy before him. He tried to find a weakness as the monster came towards him with thundering steps. The bokoblin rose its club over its head, before swinging it straight down. A tremor rolled through the ground and Link had a hard time regaining his balance as he turned back around to face the creature.

The stroke had left the monster with a jarred arm from shock. It released its club for a minute, rubbing its arm to try and wake it back up. Link took the moment to race towards the club. He hefted it up over his shoulder, before releasing it in a wide swing.

Releasing the weapon as it came back around on the swing, Link ducked as the club flew off into a corner of the arena. The bokoblin had tumbled over, a huge welt on its exposed stomach. Link raced forward to close the distance, taking the opening to berate the stunned creature with his sword.

Something rumbled in the bokoblin's stomach, and Link jumped backwards as the beast's gut punched the air where he had just been. The bokoblin stumbled to its feet, turning around with its arms flailing in wide circles around it as it searched for its weapon. Once its eyes found it, the monster broke into huge strides across the arena to reclaim it. It barreled forward at such speed, Link didn't even think to try and stop it without fear of being flattened.

Link watched as it hefted the huge club up and turned back towards him. Again, it came at him, but just a bit quicker this time. Link dodged the swings, waiting for it to slam the club back into the ground and try to smash him.

Sure enough, the monster grew irate at Link's swift evasions and slammed the weapon into the ground again. The wooden club fell to the ground as the bokoblin massaged its arm. Link grabbed the club as it began to reach for its weapon again. He swung blindly, landing a blow on the bokoblin's extended stomach once more and sending it tumbling over its feet.
