Many bosses are recurring in the game. Here they are sorted by first appearance in the first quest.
==Aquamentus==
[[Image:LOZ NES Aquamentus.png|thumb|left|Aquamentus]]
The first dungeon Boss that Link is likely to encounter. A dragon that shoots fireballs that split in three directions and can only be blocked by the Magical Shield. Vulnerable to the Sword and Arrows. Can also be killed by three bombs.

Note: HP is based on weapon damage. Those marked with a "*" requires special methods to defeat it.
==Digdogger==

Sea urchin boss. Appears as a large yellow circle with an eye in the middle. Blowing the whistle will cause Digdogger to split into as many as three smaller parts which can be defeated with the Sword.

==Dodongo==
| '''Aquamentus'''
[[Image:LOZ NES Dodongo.png|thumb|left|Dodongo]]
| 6
Slow-moving rhinoceros boss. Often appears in groups, they are only vulnerable to the Bomb. An effective tactic is for Link to place the bomb directly in front of Dodongo's mouth. Each Dodongo will be defeated after eating two bombs, but you can also stun a Dodongo if you can make a bomb go off in it's face.  If you do, he will be stunned and temporarily vulnerable to an attack from your sword.

| <b>1st Quest:</b> 1 (Boss), 7 (Boss).
==Ganon==
<b>2nd Quest:</b> 1 (Boss), 4, 8.<br><br>
[[Image:LOZ Ganon.png|thumb|left|Ganon]]The final boss. Capable of becoming invisible and moving around the room. Link must use his judgment and stab at the place where he predicts Ganon will materialize next. After wounding him enough, he will become stunned and visible. Then only a single attack from a special weapon can do him in (the silver arrow) and allow Link to save the Princess.  Without this weapon, Ganon will gain his strength back and continue his assault on Link.  [[The Legend of Zelda/Items#B Button Items|The weapon]] can only be found in the final dungeon, but can Link locate it?
A dragon that shoots fireballs that split in three directions and can only be blocked by the {{im/loz|Item|Magical Shield}}. Vulnerable to the Sword and Arrows. Can also be killed by two {{im/loz|Item|Bombs}}.  Aquamentus is the boss of dungeons [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_1/Dungeon_1|one]] and [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_1/Dungeon_7|seven]] of the first quest, but only of dungeon [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_2/Dungeon_1|one]] in the second quest.

An effective tactic is for Link to place the bomb directly in front of Dodongo's mouth. Each Dodongo will be defeated after eating two {{im/loz|Item|Bombs}}, but you can also stun a Dodongo if you can make a {{im/loz|Item|Bomb}} go off in it's face.  If you do, he will be stunned and temporarily vulnerable to an attack from your sword with just 1 strike; if you kill it this way, you are guaranteed bombs. A single Dodongo is the boss of dungeon [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_1/Dungeon_2|two]] in the first quest, and a trio of Dodongos is the boss of dungeons [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_2/Dungeon_3|three]] and [[The Legend of Zelda/Underworld/Quest_2/Dungeon_8|eight]] in the second quest.
