I'd blame that on poor design from Nintendo. Bosses can use environments in a cool way, they just... don't do it in Zelda games.

Don't get me wrong, the Ganon Blights do have significant issues. They suffer from the same problem I associate with the shrines: take one, copy it a bunch, and call it a day. Visually, they're pretty bland. While I have my fair share of issues with other bosses in the franchise, at least they...

I do want Zelda to drop the current formula it uses for bosses, yes. I just don't find any engagement in a boss I stun three times with the dungeon item and then smack with my sword a couple times. Making the dungeon item you just found the key to beating every boss removes any thought that...

I'm still hesitant for any solution that makes the token dungeon item key to an easy or easier victory against the boss. If the dungeon boss is weak to the item you collect in the same dungeon in which you fight it, then you've just renamed the problem. There would be no reason not to use the...

What I don't want is a return to pre-Breath of the Wild bosses. I feel like my biggest issue with bosses in pre-BotW 3D Zelda games is that the bosses just don't feel good for me to fight. They present each encounter like it's going to be a battle, but then it's solved by using a specific item...
