I've been so behind in my Zelda gaming. Once I get back state side, I'm just going to go on a gaming spree. I do agree about the decline in hard bosses, and not just within the Zelda series.
Though I can agree that there are some parts of the Devil May Cry series that make me go GrrrrrrrrrAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

NNM
Always look on the bright side of life

@Allamorph:

I also just remembered that you have to have the scarecrow song too. o_o I forgot about that since I haven't played it in a while. ^^

@Selene Shri:

You can't. At least not until you get the longer hookshot once you have that you can finally finish the Fire Temple. ^^

See, that's what I thought....

I haven't played that in a long time. I agree with what you're saying. Figuring out the temple was a lot of fun, where the boss was disappointing.

And since I know you're gone, have a good time and we'll see you when you get back. ^_^

Incidentally, I haven't totally finished the Fire Temple, despite having beaten the boss.

I really liked the water temple, figuring out how to find everything was fun. The boss was kind of boring like you said. It takes time, but it's really easy to beat.

The others have said it. The dungeon is fun, the boss, not so fun. And yes that bit with the spikes before the door is stupid.

@Allamorph:

Some of the boss battles in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time are like that. They cover the entire field so there is no dodging. You have to use other means to either stop certain attacks, or just get totally clobbered. It's annoying, but oh so fun when you finally win.

@Aaryanna:

"Putting the hurt on them" is how you defeat them. I just prefer more to my tactics than "get as far away as possible and wait for them to show weakness".

The fight against Virgil in DMC3 is freaking fun. A little aggravating, since Virgil has some cheap attacks, but at least I get forced to figure out which fighting style I need to have out, and how to use it to the best possible end. (Plus with Trickster you can actually DODGE as opposed to "getting out of the radius of the attack because the attack will hit you no matter where you are".)

@Allamorph:

Just, running away bores me to tears.

No fun if you can't put the hurt on them hunh? =P I agree, that boss is pretty bland. All you do is figure out the trick and it's over with.

@Desbreko:

I think I failed to mention that after I started using Run Away as part of Link's moveset, I took no damage, either.

Just, running away bores me to tears.

*shrug*

The real fun is the temple, the boss is rather meh. That's the only drawback to the Zelda games of late. Fun dungeons but really pathetic bosses since they're so easy to beat.

lol Morpha

Water Temple complete! [/EBA style voice]

@Allamorph:

Fair enough. And yeah, not really necessary.

@SunfallE:

Ironically, I figured out how to easily get past that.

So did I. I just think it was stupid.

I talk Link through things. Yes.

Hahaha, I actually do that too at times. o_O

there's this sudden sharp incline that Link must run up, but he can't run up inclines all that fast.

Ironically, I figured out how to easily get past that. I go over to the left and if you time it right, it’s easy to get up there. I think I got hit all of once and then never again when I replayed the game, heh.

And yes the final boss is terribly easy and boring to beat. As much as I love the Zelda games, the easy to beat bosses are just annoying as hell.
