It was the same for me. None of the Besting achievements unlocked, with the exceptions of Aganhim and Ganon. Also completing Misery Mire did not unlock as well. This also happened with me on Four Swords as well.

Luckily I was able to load the srm-file, so I could go directly to the dungeon and beat the boss on my PC. I will do the same with the other bosses.

Did twice with USA rom on PC and achievement did not trigger. Used same rom on my android phone and it worked. Both on retroarch latest version

I've had problems for a long time unlocking this, as well as all the other "Bested" achievements. I finally unlocked this one on RetroPie by changing the emulator core to ls-snes9x2002. The other cores don't seem to trigger these achievements.

Same result as above, didnt work with Snes9x2010

Can confirm that setting the emulator core to lr-snes9x2002 on RetroPie works for US rom. Thanks to theW3RT for the hint!

snes9x2010 for me didn't pop

Shame about the achievement - I beat them using BSNES Balanced on RetroArch and didn't pop. I thought it was because I'd lost a heart in the room before.I'll try future bosses using 9x 2002 as above.

Little hint, because I had to do it multiple times : You SHALL not be harmed in the room before, with the 2 red cyclops for this to pop

Very easy achievement if it weren't for my busted controller that sometimes makes Link walk staight into enemies.

Honestly the whole "Beat each boss with a flawless" is the only strenuious part of these achievements. Again esp with a busted controller. A real hair puller.
