==Boss Design==
One of the most memorable things of any Zelda game is the boss battles. They are part combat, and part puzzle. In a team game, they must force both cooperation as a group and handling independent threats. A good boss should be chosen to fit the theme of the dungeon as well as the overall adventure. You must carefully consider what each party member is capable of so as to create an encounter that challenges them all, but also allows each of them to feel as though they contributed to the outcome in some meaningful way. When designing a boss encounter it is also wise to consider what items the characters discovered within the dungeon and how you can incorporate all of them into the puzzle of exposing the boss's vulnerabilities. A very important consideration is the arena of the battle itself. The environment may be the bigger danger than the boss itself, it may give the boss a distinct advantage or tools to exploit, or the it may be the key to its undoing through clever usage of nearby mechanisms or features.
