@lifning@cybre.space BotW at least did that somewhat with the wildlife, at least, but yeah there just aren't many kinds of monster
Bokoblin, moblin, lynel, lizalfos, octorok, and keese are the only normal monsters I can think of offhand, and then of course there's a handful of boss types like hinox, molduga, and talus. And molduga's the only one that's regional, the rest are just like... everywhere.
When did bokoblins get so iconic to the series, anyway? Weren't they new to Wind Waker?
