Should the Zelda series have harder bosses?

Or at the very least a super boss?

One thing you'll never hear from a Zelda fan is "This game was too tough." or "Those bosses were insane!!"

Do you think the Zelda series should start making the bosses a tad more challenging, or at the very least give us an option of taking on a super boss? With all the equipment you have in the inventory it would be kind of interesting to take advantage of some of it for one major super boss. Heck, if you look at it, you usually have FOUR bottles where you can put life savers in. A faerie and 3 blue potions are some good options, right? Well, how often can you say that you used all four of those during one boss battle?

not true, Zelda 2 was insane, I always had the most trouble with the bosses, but other than that, yeah you're definitely right.

I think that rather than just making harder bosses that they should have difficulty levels to make the entire game harder as a whole.

If they made bosses harder then sometimes they'd make them a bit too hard and that balance between a cheap boss and a hard boss would be disturbed.

This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

I haven't finished twilight princess yet so obviously that wasn't included in my opinion, I should have stated that.

I started like 2 months ago and I'm slow, I keep distracting myself with something new to play other than Zelda, it's weird.

Recently I've been playing a lot of Donkey Kong games.

The older games, like Zelda 2 and A Link to the Past, had some tough bosses, as well as a couple of the ones in Majora's Mask. I'd like to see not only more challenging bosses, but more challenging Zelda games overall. It would be pretty easy to add a couple extra difficulty levels. Just make the enemies stronger and able to do more damage. When most enemies only take half a heart the games are pretty easy.

Zelda has fallen into the formula of whatever item you find in said dungeon (be it hookshot, Bow, boomarang or whatever) is used to kill the boss in it. I dunno if I'd like the bosses to be harder, I play the Zelda games for fun not to destroy my joypad in a rag of frustration. Yeah the bosses might be needed to made a little less easy but not so hard it ruins the game, perhaps optional bosses like Omega Weapon et al. from Final Fantasy is the answer.

haha reminds me of the three heart challenge in ocarina of time, it wasn't even hard.

I think i had 3 gameovers the whole time and I never got enhanced hearts or anything.

Needless to say that Zelda games have gotten progressively easier Windwaker was so kidded down that a 5 year old wouldn't have any difficulty beating the game. Twilight princess is a bit of an improvement though.

Since you mentioned that, is Nintendo catering to the younger RPG folk out there? Is that why they're not making it TOO difficult is because the game is meant for ages 7 - 15?
