@lifning@cybre.space flexible squishy skull

@lifning@cybre.space what if centaur, but fish, attached at the skull

@lifning@cybre.space like seriously I need to see what their skeleton looks like because either they have two completely separate spines or they have a spine which runs directly through their brain and it makes no sense at all

@lifning@cybre.space back when the OoT friendly zora thing happened my thoughts were that the results of the events of OoT would have caused the zora to become withdrawn and hostile, explaining their vastly different appearance and behavior in the prior games, but then the later games happened

AND WHAT IS WITH THEIR HEADS

@lifning@cybre.space and then meanwhile moblins have changed so much… they used to be these bulldog grunt things that were just like common and easily-dispatched, now they’re these weird aardvark things that are a major deal

and what’s the deal with how the Zora massively changed from fish monster with an uneasy relationship with Hylians, to sexy love interests with anatomically-unsound heads?

@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?

@lifning@cybre.space well okay more than five but still, most of the enemy variety is in the form of "this one is an *ice* version, this one's a *fire* version" as opposed to actually having monsters that fit into ecological niches like in the older games

@lifning@cybre.space like I mean goriyas were always my favorite (especially their Zelda II incarnation) but also look at the wide variety of enemies in the games, and how in BotW there's, like, five

@lifning@cybre.space heck yes
