In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the eight main dungeon bosses are fought in this order: Diababa, Fyrus, Morpheel, Stallord, Blizzeta, Armogohma, Argorok, and Zant. The story then ends at Hyrule Castle with Puppet Zelda, Dark Beast Ganon, and Ganondorf. That final sequence is separate from the dungeon chain, so it is covered in its own section below.
The eight dungeon bosses
Each row below is one dungeon, and its boss is the encounter at the end of it. This is the standard main-story route for the game.
| Order | Boss | Dungeon |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Diababa | Forest Temple |
| 2 | Fyrus | Goron Mines |
| 3 | Morpheel | Lakebed Temple |
| 4 | Stallord | Arbiter’s Grounds |
| 5 | Blizzeta | Snowpeak Ruins |
| 6 | Armogohma | Temple of Time |
| 7 | Argorok | City in the Sky |
| 8 | Zant | Palace of Twilight |
The sources used for this order describe the standard progression. They do not establish any change in sequence between editions, so treat the table as the standard route and check your own version’s dungeon map if something looks different.
The final sequence after Zant
Once Zant is defeated, the story moves to Hyrule Castle. The final encounters are fought in this order:

- Disc only. Original case and manual not included. Will come packaged in a generic case.
- This renewed game has been cleaned, tested, and shows minimal wear.
- Puppet Zelda. The first encounter in the castle sequence.
- Dark Beast Ganon. The second phase of the Ganondorf fight, not a separate boss.
- Ganondorf. The true final boss of the game.
How many bosses you count here depends on convention. If you treat the Ganondorf battle as one fight, the castle sequence has two bosses, Puppet Zelda and Ganondorf, with Dark Beast Ganon as its second phase. If you list every form separately, it has three. The eight-boss dungeon count above does not include any of these.
Where mini-bosses fit
Mini-bosses are a separate category and are not part of the eight-boss chain. The Zelda Dungeon Wiki boss roster lists them under their own heading, including Ook, Dangoro, Death Sword, Darkhammer, Darknut, Aeralfos, and Phantom Zant. Phantom Zant is a mini-boss on that list, so it should not be confused with the dungeon boss Zant.
Rank #2
- In the next chapter in the Legend of Zelda series, Link can transform into a wolf to scour the darkened land of Hyrule. With the help of Midna, a mysterious being, you must guide Link through hordes of foul creatures and challenging bosses using new moves and a new horseback combat system. Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so you must sharpen your wits as you hunt for weapons and items.
How the order is confirmed
- Boss roster. The Zelda Dungeon Wiki’s “Twilight Princess Bosses” page, last edited May 9, 2026, names all eight dungeon bosses in the order above, followed by Puppet Zelda, Dark Beast Ganon, and Ganondorf.
- Dungeon route. The Zelda Dungeon Wiki’s Twilight Princess game page places Arbiter’s Grounds between Lakebed Temple and Snowpeak Ruins. That fixes Stallord’s position between Morpheel and Blizzeta.
- Opening bosses. Zelda’s Palace’s Twilight Princess boss guide independently confirms the first three: Diababa in the Forest Temple, Fyrus in the Goron Mines, and Morpheel in the Lakebed Temple. It also has strategy tips, such as using the Gale Boomerang against Diababa and the Iron Boots and chain against Fyrus, if you want help during those fights.
- Dungeon structure. Nintendo’s official Twilight Princess HD manual describes the dungeon map (which reveals dungeon rooms), the compass (which reveals treasure chests and the boss location), and the boss key (which opens the boss chamber). This confirms the dungeon-and-boss structure the order relies on.
Pages with a conflicting order
Some pages carrying the same title list a different sequence. One of them labels Argorok as the Arbiter’s Grounds boss, which conflicts with the established roster. Use the order in the table above rather than those pages.
Quick Recap
