In sprite form, they' not bad, they look like three white tires stacked on top of each other, but in 3D, they're real monsters. They're also one of the most panic-inducing, not because they deal that much damage, but because they eat your shields. Hearts are a dime a dozen, but shields can usually only be found in stores far away from where you encounter these things. It's such a novel monster, too, something that's only mildly dangerous to you, but that consumes your inventory, making it harder for you to deal with later enemies. The only analogy I can think of is the rust monster from D&D.

They've always just been sort of there as bosses or minor NPCs. Dragons are such a central concept to fantasy worlds, you expect to see them in almost every one as some kind important plot point at least, but in Zelda? Even the dragons in BotW aren't actually important. They're really cool, and it feels like an important moment when you stumble upon one and it majestly flies through the sky. They were done as well as they could possibly have been done... but that doesn't mean they're actually important or anything. They're just there, like an especially glowy piece of wildlife. Is it wrong that I kind of just want to fight them? You give me this giant world to play around in, and these amazing, majestic creatures to see... but I also kind of want to test my might against them, you know? I don't know what to chalk the relative unimportance of dragons in Zelda up to. The fact that it's Japanese? Maybe. The fact that Mario's main villain is already a fire-breathing lizard? Maybe. It could even just be a coincidence. But I'm actually uncertain if there's any other fantasy setting more famous than Hyrule where dragons are less important.

Lizalfos Ben Drowned City in the Sky Great Palace (AoL) Epona Zelda's Lullaby Vaati Squid-Hunt (Minigame) Nintendo Power LttP Comics 8.8/10: At the time, I couldn't believe it. I really wanted to believe that TP was going to blow us away, the same way that OoT did. I wanted to believe that the guy just didn't understand it. I did the exact same thing with FFXIII, when reviews came in from Japan that the game was crap, and I just refused to believe it. Then I played each game, and realized that TP was mediocre, and FFXIII was indeed crap. 8.8 is honestly too high, it's hilarious in retrospect how people harassed that guy for giving the game a B+. I don't think even the most diehard Zelda fan would give this game an 8.8 anymore, right? More like a 7/10 at best. History has definitely vindicated Jeff Gerstmann, a name I definitely I knew and didn't have to google. Lon Lon Ranch David Jr. Zant Wolf Link Princess Ruto Video Game Concerts Malo Makar Slingshot: It's not hard to see why this doesn't show up very often: it's just way too similar to the bow. The Oracle games try to differentiate it by making the seeds ricochet off walls, which is fine for puzzles, but even then, you could do better. There are way cleverer items you could use for ricochet puzzles than slingshot ammo. As I see it, the slingshot's main purpose in OoT is just to help emphasize the difference between Child Link's more hopeful era and Adult Link's crappier era. He puts away the childish toy items and moves on... but I'm probably giving them too much credit. Then it shows up again in TP, and it's completely useless after you get the bow. Why is this even in that game? It's like they just wanted to pad Link's inventory. It even shows up in SS, where its gimmick is firing multiple shots at once after you upgrade it, and it's still not something you'll ever realistically use. I think this might be the most consistently useless recurring item in the series.
