In A Link Between Worlds, several superior versions of equipment like the Blue and Red Tunics as well as the Hylian Shield were found in dungeons. In Zelda games prior, upgrades like these were usually obtained by completing sidequests in the overworld.
I don't know about anyone else, but this took me aback, especially the revelation that the Hylian Shield was in Turtle Rock. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it added more incentive to scour every corner of the dungeons, but it also reduced the number of overworlds tasks, which were sparse as is.
Anyhow, what do you all think about the decision to include these key upgrades in dungeons?
