Description So, you've just completed the Forest Temple. Beat the boss, snatched the Heart Container, and you're making your way out to Hyrule Field.

When all of a sudden - CRASH!! That boss you thought you'd killed is still kicking, with a vengeance.

Link's up on Epona in an instant, withdrawing his newly acquired bow - and you're thrown into an unexpected part two boss battle.

--

When Nintendo was talking about breaking the Zelda formula, this is what came to mind for me. I think it'd be a pretty fun way to put the players on their toes early on in the game.

I had a similar idea, but with the Argorok boss from the sky city in Twilight Princess. You defeat the huge dragon, think you're done, then bigger badder momma dragon shows up and it's kinda like the Levias fight where you have to fight on her because of how big she is.
Amazing art, regardless!

Did you see the new E3 trailer for Zelda U?! I have a feeling that they may be doing just that! In the trailer, it seemed like Link knew exactly what to do, and the enemy was so huge and destructive that I really feel like it was a boss, breaking out of it's dungeon to have one last battle with an unsuspecting Link!

man, i'm freaked out enough when i play zelda and have baddies sneak up behind me. heck i get freaked out if i just hear the fight music fade in and i don't see a baddie anywhere
so this would scare the CRAP out of me

but it is a really cool idea nonetheless

nice work

To suddenly fight a boss you just "killed", in the middle of Hyrule Field... That would be wicked awesome! And a very nice change of pace

Firstly, fantastic artwork as always!

Secondly, awesome concept! It would no doubt be absolutely terrifying...but I would love it if something like this were to happen earlier in one of the games. It would be quite a thrill, and a nice twist altogether. Even if it would, as some boss battles are prone to do, throw me into temporary panic-mode.

Especially if I'm playing within the vicinity of my father. If I'm in a pinch/panic-mode, he gives me...shall we say, encouragement, by saying things likeΒ  "That guy is kicking your butt, you're totally about to die." So helpful.

They've stuck pretty heavily to the 'Zelda formula' for a while now - but it seems like they're starting to break out of it!

Let's hope we get some surprises like this soon

Thank you!

AkuDemyfan In reply to Brakkenimation [2014-01-14 15:04:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, maybe. Still the Link Between Worlds and Ocarina of Time 3D are amazing. But, some new little tricks like this would be really awesome.

You're welcome!

Oh, I just remembered from Okamiden that Chibiterasu fought with one really freaky monster and when I thought that I got it killed, it started to chase me! XD I was bit freaked out and slashing at the creature as much as possible to keep it as far away as possible while getting hightailed out of there! XD

Haha, it's a really fun concept to play around with for sure! Especially in interactive entertainment. The Uncharted series loves to use false moments of victory to throw extra surprises at the player.

Ok....I would like to point out a distinct feature that I have never seen before. This picture.....it seems as if it's moving. I feel like it is moving but it can't. This illusion of it moving is very good man! I like it a lot and idk and i dont think that was your intention but this is great!

Hey, really glad that it works for you like that

I had though about adding a bit of motion blur to some parts, but it's good to know that it gives a feeling of motion without it.

Many thanks for your appreciation!
