What old enemies should they bring back?

[Karashimu]

Now don't freak out, people. I don't mean that we should fight Majora or Zant or something again. I mean, what common enemies that were fought in older games do you think should be brought back for the next Zelda? And what are some cool ways the designers could re-imagine them?

My opinions:

Lynals - You might remember these as the tough lion-like things that guard the outside of Ganon's Tower in ALttP. So far, they haven't been seen in a 3D Zelda, and I think they would be cool to fight. They could be massive, covered in armor and wielding scimatars. Imagine horseback battles against those!

Dreadhawks - or Bird Knights, or Fokka, or whatever. Anyways, these were the massively hard enemies that infest the Great Temple of AoL. In a 3D game, their flying and swordfighting abilities could make them fun enemies.

Dead Hand - Remember that creepy miniboss in the Shadow Temple with all the hands? Imagine what it would look like in the next Zelda game, all huge and terrifying.

Gomess - The Grim Reaper-like enemy fought in MM's Stone Tower. With the Wii's advanced graphics, dozens of Keese could constantly be swarming around him, and his scythe could be huge, black, and on fire. Man, I'm starting to drool just thinking about it.

Any enemies that you hope they put in the next Zelda?

Lynals would be a good choice, an enemy I would love to face in 3D! I wouldn´t mind facing the Fokka´s from AoL either, tough is awesome-o :clap:

I´ve mentioned it before but I would like also to face Horsehead in a 3D game.

Lovely, this would be incredibly fun. I was actually surprised you mentioned them. Since they were taken from Twilight Princess, I say octoroks! I can't see why, such a common enemy, would be ripped out of a game that has become quite popular.

Gel would be fun to see again, although, I'd assume they were replaced with ChuChus. I'd prefer to see a Gel than ChuChu in the upcoming Legend of Zelda game released. I'd also like to see Pols Voice become more common, just for that old, nostalgic feel.

[Uroboros]

They need to bring back redeads (not the crappy TP ones), iron knuckles, skulltulas (not the crappy TP ones), dodongos (not the crappy TP ones), real bombchu, wolfos (not the crappy TP ones), wall/floormasters, and the nejiron. I think it would also be cool to see the eyegores appear again, this time as common enemies.

[Chrono]

I could have sworn there was an exact topic like these here.

But my number one choice would be Lynels.

[Josh]

I'd probably go with the Lynels too, they have to bring back Darknuts, and Stalfos too.

[Uroboros]

It would be interesting to see lynels in 3D, I must admit. I can't imagine what fighting style they'd use, though...

[Master Link]

Lynals would be my #1 choice. I'd also love to see some mini-boss like creatures in the overworld. Maybe some of the easier ones.

[Alder Dragon]

Well, as soon as you mentioned this the first thing that came to my mind were Lynels and the bird knights from AoL.. but since you've already said those, I'd have to say..

Lizalfos. I don't know if they're in TP since I haven't beaten it, but they seem to have sorta disappeared.

Ghini. I miss touching gravestones and having a ghost appear. This would be awesome in the next 3D Zelda game.

Goriyas. Remember the boomerang-wielding goriya from LoZ and AoL? They surely deserve a comeback..

Patra. Patras were the flying eyeball-type things found in LoZ as sort of a mini-boss. This would make an awesome boss for the next Zelda 2D or 3D, where you'd have to use your hookshot to pull off the flying ones that circle around it.. kind of like the boss Arrghus from LttP.

Wizzrobes. I know they aren't really gone, but I miss the insane challenge they used to give from LoZ. In LoZ, they could walk through walls and constantly traveled around the room, and were really difficult to avoid/kill. I'd like that same challenge again. Nowadays, the wizzrobes simply appear and disappear, then appear again in the same place - no challenge to killing one, just boredom.

[Amelie]

I would personally like lots of the enemmys from OoT and AlttP brought back. In TP I didnt remember seeing many memorable enemys. Its like lots of the Zelda enemys from older Zelda games were taken out.

I think thats why it felt so different to me that to >>

A lot of enemies, such as the skulltulas, wolfos, and dodongos were metamorphosed into cartoony forms in TP.

[Petman1325]

Lets see. I want to see a return of the Octorok (They vanished in Twilight Princess!). The Chu-Chu is nice, but I don't want to see the Majora's Mask version of the chu-chu (That thing was absolutly mutantly disgusting). I want to see the Dead Hand, that would be really nasty looking at him, yet it sounds cool. I'ed love to see the Gohma Larva again. It would be fun running through the area, just being bombarded with all the Ghoma larva! They were challenging in Ocarina in Time, but they would be worse in the new game! Wolfos would be hard core as well! Plus, I want to see enemies come out from Hyrule field at night, preferably more advanced versions of the Stalchild. That's just what I can think of now...:nerd:

[Chrono]

How about...

Aquamentus
Gleeok
Daira
Ironknuckle
Darknut
Bit/Bot/Gel/Zol
Lanmola
Like Like
Leever
Moblin (damn you TP)
Patra
Pols Voice
Rope
Vire
Wall Master
Digdogger
Geldarm
Moa

[bellum]

I'd love to see Stalfos and Iron knuckles from OoT and I always liked the Pols voice yeah an advanced stalchild would be awesome(I turn into a kid and then run to Hyrule field and play the Suns Song ) just to battle the Stalchild I"ve always hated the Leevers they were annoying but I'd love to see like like's again I just hated the fact that they would eat your tunics>.<

[Chellemo]

The Hinox from LttP was a strong Overworld obstacle. They can attack from a distance by throwing bombs. I would like to see they could be recreated and added in to new games.

[MOS3]

Bring Agahnim back!!..I'd love to see him in a new zelda....perhaps even having a connection to ALttP?....that would be sweet :)

[UsayEldaZay]

As much as I HATE to say this, I am thinking all of the enemies found at the bottom of the well as well as in the Shadow Temple. Sure, everyone knows that the gibdos, redeads, like likes, deadhands, shadow hands, are all sooo annoying but they do pose a challenge. And what's a Zelda game without a challenge? I also liked the Ghoma larva as someone already mentioned as well as, Octoroks. Dark Link was also very fun imo. OMG Skulltullas also!! I was at the Forest Temple(in oot) when I got my hands on Twilight Princess and when I beat the game and returned to oot, I was like oh my gosh...There were no skulltullas in tp!! I don't favor them but there's a void without them :[

what do you mean by "the crappy TP ones" there arn't even any skulltulas in TP
note: TP stands for Twilight Princess

id like to see the helmasaur king from LttP (that's "a Link to the Past")
you know that big dinosaur thing with the bombchu-looking mask

also the ganon from OoT he was 15x link's Size and had two big ugly swords, in Wii graphics he'd bee a terror omg im shivering just thinking aboutit WOO HOO (ganon pwns all final bosses)

[Shawnogohma]

Horsehead.

Done

and

Done.

He can be a mini-boss, then be a recurring enemy afterward. Like Iron Knuckles.

Or he could just be a BOSS. Of a dungeon, I mean.

Guys Guys Guys. First, for the old bosses returning like Agahnim and Horsehead, Zenox made a great thread for bosses and mini-bosses coming back here: http://www.zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2568

This one is strictly overworld and dungeon enemies.

Second, mewtwo there are Skulltulas in Twilight Princess, but they look a little different.

Remember that guy?

There are, but I call them crappy for a reason. I'm talking about those big spiders in the forest temple that have the skull pattern on their back.

[Brandon]

I'd really like to see zola from LoZ. Digdoggers and Goriyas would be great too. IT would be great to also see a good old fashioned dragon like in the first dungeon of LoZ and OoS. I don't care what they name it. I just want to see a classic dragon boss. (I love Volvagia, but that's not what I've got in mind. I want a dragon with legs and wings)

[master sword]

Are you talking about WW wind walker, or PH phantom hourglass those are the cartoony ones

TP Twilight princess is the one where twilight covers hyrule and link (not cartoony) with minda as his sidekick has to dispell the twilight, it has no skultulas, or redeads

There are Spiders that resemble Skulltulas in there, An example of this when you first enter the forest temple and go into the main room one comes down from the roof

they should bring back the stalfos, as they were in OoT, I mean they were sometimes annoying(not for me :D)but I really like the stalfos from OoT, they had a good look, and they attacked and defended very very well.
ReDeads (http://zeldawiki.org/redead) are something I would like to see taken out for a while, I just hated when they paralyzed me with their scream, their scream would scare every time I come across from castle town as an adult in OoT, and they that they would actually jump on my back and start sucking the life right out of me.
I wouldn't mind seeing the 'ol Iron knuckle back in the loz series they were just so fun in OoT and were worth the time,very fun enemies.
Like Likes I really hated beacause every time I got sucked into one of those things I just had to get my tunic back from somewhere else in Hyrule.When they're around I don't trust them around my mirror shield.

[Kybyrian]

The lynels are something I would definitely like to see come back. Another thing I'd like to see were mentioned by Alder: Ghini, oh and maybe a reappearance from the giant Ghini as a miniboss again or something. Otherwise I really can't think of any that I'd like to come back.

[Johnny Boy]

Indeed, Lynals would be an awesome enemy to fight in the overworld. They should also bring back those bird knights from Zelda 2. I don't know, just something random.

[Liam]

yeah Lynals would be good, and so would the Hylian knights and archers from LttP, and the darknuts from MC. i think they should make a 3D version of LttP, or Remake it with MC graphics, and better dungeons and enemies and items. like imagine this:

pretty cool evolution when you think of it, huh? anyway, i think they should do this by remaking minish ca or LttP

[basement24]

I was thinking about this the other day and was glad to see an existing topic on it.

Lynels - I'm somewhat surprised they didn't come back for Twilight Princess since they would have been a great adversary for Link to battle while riding Epona. Link on Epona fighting centaur creatures? C'mon, it's natural! The part of Hyrule Field on the opposite side of Kakariko where the Bridge of Eldin was would ahve been a great place to populate with Lynels instead of the Bullbins on their mounts.

Moa - Flying eyeball that spits fire on occasion? That's good n' creepy. These guys gave me the chills back in the 80's, and I imagine a good 3-D one would be extra creepy.

Ra - I had to look up the name, but they're the severed horse / unicorn heads in the palaces in AoL. They'd probably have to have more of an attack pattern than they did in AoL, but still, creepy severed animal head flying at you in a 3-D space? Cool!

Boulder - Yeah, okay, it's not really an enemy, more like a hazard of nature, but those things and their somewhat random bouncing pattern drove me crazy as a kid playing the original Legend of Zelda. A good random rockslide or two on Death Mountain in Twilight Princess would have been an unexpected incident to have to avoid.

The River Devil - I think this was my only big disappointment in AoL. I thought the icon of him on the main map was going to throw me into an epic side-scrolling boss-like battle with the River Devil. I thought he'd be huge as well, with tentacles lashing out at me from the river as I had to fight him on land. Instead, you play the recorder, and he turns to dust. This thing should come back as a giant cracken / squid that rises from a river to attack Link. Sure, the recorder (or Ocarina, as we seem to use more recently) could still weaken him and make him susceptible to a good sword-lashing, but give me the epic River Devil Battle I thought I was going to get back in 1988!
