Boss Subtitles

[DuelMark]

This might seem like an odd topic to bring up, but it's one I've dwindled on for a while.

With the exception of The Wind Waker, every 3D Zelda game features a boss subtitle.

Does anyone here actually like those? Do you always want to seem some creative thing to go along with the name or do you just not care about the name or subtitle and want to just face the boss? Personally, I rather like them because of how creative and sometimes cheesy they can be, like "Pyroclastic Fiend: Scaldera" or "Parasitic Armored Arachnid: Gohma".

I've always enjoyed the boss subtitles. They certainly don't make or break a game but they are an interesting addition. I did find it strangely fitting though that Demise had no subtitle to boot.

I have nothing against Boss Subtitles.
I really like them! It gives the bosses some character and makes them unique.

I love seeing the creativity that Nintendo has come up with for the bosses! In fact, I love to replay boss battles just to see those boss subtitles again! :xd:

 

[Gooey Fame]

I always like to think about and imagine who gave them their titles. It gives them a bit of mystery while at the same time gives you slight insight on them.

I really like the boss subtitles. I like that if you don't know the bosses name they show you it with a nickname for them.

The boss titles are cool, its nice to see twilit and armoured versions of things, and i bet to some theorists they helped decide where games went in the timeline, maybe. I like the subtitles and like ALIT said it ramps it up when some last bosses don't have one.

It kind of gives the game a scale in general when it has to announce the name of the boss like its impressive. like its telling you its an Armoured Arachnid just so you know the name of what it is that most likely just killed you.

I think their awesome! Most are rather creative as well so that makes it better

everything should have a name

I love them. They add to the dramatic entrance of the boss.

This is not not something that is going to make or break the game, nor is it something I dwell on while playing, but boss subtitles are a nice aesthetic and I think Nintendo should keep them around for tradition's sake. It did feel a little off when The Wind Waker's bosses had no subtitle.

The boss subtitles are nice it makes it easier to discuss the bosses if you know their name.

 

[Krazy4Krash]

I am terrible at remembering Bosses names, and the subtitles help. They are iconic in their own right. Always classic to read and well thought through. My favourites have to be "Dark Lord" and "Thousand-Year Arachnid".

yeah. i agree. it would've been cool if the made it be all like

The Apocalypse
DEMISE

that would be the coolest subtitle ever.

 

[MiniMouseofPyru]

I enjoy the subtitles. They don't do anything to the game.

I've always really enjoyed the subtitles and found it interesting to learn a little bit about the bosses from them.
