Should the Overall Combat Battle Speed Increase?

Except as I said OOT's later enemies can do much higher amounts of damage. Iron Knuckles can do about 5 hearts of damage and Ganondorf can do about 4.

Iron Knuckles were basically minibosses and Ganondorf was a boss. I'm talking about normal enemies. And, again, these enemies have slow-ish attacks that are incredibly easy to dodge. It's basically a trade-off, but it's a rather lame one if you ask me.

By the way, Ganondorf takes off 3 hearts. 1/2 if you have the silver-lined hearts.

...silly mistakes can cost allot of hearts in this game.

That goes for both OoT and SS, but especially SS with the higher damage ratio of normal enemies.

Same for SS. If you made even a small mistake against Technoblins and had your attack blocked, you would get shocked. If you hit a skeleton warriors sword, he counterattacks. There are much more examples.

Anyways, this thread is getting really off topic.

Agreed. As I mentioned before, I don't think increasing the speed of combat alone will change much of anything in the series in the long run, aside from perhaps the reaction times of the players. More variation in combat would help matters as well as increasing speed, however, is another story.

The use of skills in TP like the shield attack should play a more important role in combat. The battle speed in WW was fairly quick and thats what made it great! so yes they should speed up the battles!

Yeah, I hate WAITING for the enemy to attack so you can do it back, or when they do phases where you cant hurt them, I mean seriously a real fight is nt like that!
