Old Bosses Returning

[Zenox]

DO you think it would be a good idea if some of the old bosses returned? If you ask me, this could be a yes and a no, depending on the boss. I think Manhandla would be an awesome boss in a 3-D environment! But in 2-D, he'd be just like the original Legend of Zelda, so I wouldn't like him as much.

If there's another Gohma or something similar, I'm gonna be sick, I just hate that boss. Not because it's hard, but because it's a lame idea and they need to get over her (it?).

What do you think? What bosses do you think would be cool to have come back?

[Skull_Kid]

lots of bosses have been reused, like manhandla, and if they took it out of their usual renditions, it would turn up into either a grea boss or an annoying one...
Gohmas are cool, I really liked the one in TP...
For example, a 2-D Goht would be crappy, but a 3-D Gyorg Pair would be awesome

[bellum]

yeah that would be an awesome idea

[Amelie]

I would love to see a 3D blind or a 3D Mothula

I think a boss like Blind in 3D would be very fun. Mothula could be great to if they did it right

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Nah, I always prefer fresh bosses with new strategies.

[Axle the Beast]

I would definitely like to see the return of some of the older bosses, especially in 3d. All the LttP guys could be awesome in 3d.

I would still like some original bosses as well, though.

(But I like Gohma! )

[Zeanith]

I miss Majora. I think she should return. But she's a main boss...so she doesn't count.


I really enjoyed the battle with Gohma in OoT and TP. She should return, too.

So should The underwater battle with the giant eel in TP.

[Axle the Beast]

I miss Majora. I think she should return. But she's a main boss...so she doesn't count.

Wait, since when is Majora a she?

I suppose it could be, with the high-pitched voice... but I always thought of it as male, or maybe genderless.

[Kitsu]

I definitely wouldn't want to see another Gohma or anything like it. I also wouldn't want to see another dinosaur-like boss.

I would like to see a boss like Twinmold, or even something in resemblance of Majora, to be brought back.

[Kazumi]

That would be awesome! But maybe not in the main story, I like fresh bosses. Maybe a place you could go to fight revamped previously 2D bosses, now in 3D. I would LOVE to fight some Lanmolas in 3D! Imagine how awesome it would be, with some ***kicking graphics!

[Master Link]

I'd love to see some 2D bosses return in 3D games. I love boss battle, especially the epic ones. And I'd love to see another Bongo Bongo like boss.

[Yumil]

I'm definitely a fan of bringing back old bosses - especially 2D to 3D ones. However, I prefer that they change up the fights as opposed to just adding a third dimension. Blind is a great example. If they just make Blind in 3D, then the fight is still just hitting him with the sword - no real strategy involved.

A Link to the Past is my favorite game, so let me do some speculating here on all of the bosses.

The Armos Knights have not appeared as bosses, but we know they work in 3D. We just need them bigger and meaner.

Lanmolas has been done - in Majora's Mask. They just called the boss "Twinmold". It's a fine boss fight, but not much of a challenge. The only part of the Majora's Mask fight that is even remotely hard is making sure you have enough magic to keep the Giant's Mask going.

Moldorm is a boss I would like to see more of. Puppet Ganon showed us that Moldorm can work in 3D. Now I just want a terrifying real Moldorm fight. Meaning, there must be pits you can fall in and screw it all up.

Helmasaur King we have not seen. He would make a great boss that actually required some form of strategy.

Arrghus was done in Majora's Mask as Wart and it worked out great. It's not the hardest fight, but it still required work and some strategy to do correctly.

Mothula appeared as a regular enemy in Wind Waker, and unless they make it a lot bigger and add some real strategy to it (more than: throw boomerang, whack with sword), I have little interest in seeing more.

Blind, as I mentioned, would need serious work. I'd love to see him though.

Kholdstare was not a great boss to begin with. The hardest part was making sure you had enough magic to break the ice. This would also need work to adapt well.

Vitreous is very similar again, and sorta like Arrghus with the tiny versions. It could be done, but needs fixing.

Trinexx would be an absolutely amazing fight. I want it.

As for other bosses, I'll second the Manhandla idea. It could be a cool boss in 3D - particularly if they used a concept like throwing bombs into the flowers only when they were open.

And I'd like to see Digdogger out of mere curiousity.

[Dabombster]

Trinexx would be an absolutely amazing fight. I want it.

I agree with you there. Trinexx is the main boss I'd like to see transferred over to a 3D game.

[Axle the Beast]

I agree with you, Yumil, LttP has the best choices (IMO) for 3D bosses. I also agree that they need to be reworked a lot. I would like to see Trinexx, Blind, Mothula, Moldorm, and the Lanmolas the most. The Armos Knights would also be really cool as a boss.

I think the Lanmolas could be cool if they were done a little more like they were in LttP rather than like Twinmold in MM. If they were smaller and more numerous, and had a completely different method of defeating them.

[Caleb, Of Asui]

How good a returning boss is definitely depends on the boss. Transferring any of the 2d bosses into 3d would be pretty cool, especially the first one in LoZ. (Aquanim? Or something like that?) Some 3d to 2d transfers might be interesting as well. If they're reusing a boss in the same # of dimensions, it would be best for them to make some improvements, such as working with a new or different item. If it works with the story, that definetely makes me like it.
