I have to agree, with the more retro bosses it was about damage the weapons dealt and how much health the bosses had. OoT kept this to a degree, but added more sequences. Thou weapon damage and such still mattered a lot.

I actually think this fad started in WW in a tame manor, as most bosses were done in 3 sequences if done well, 4 if done badly.

TP however simplified this, and it has only gone from there.

The only thing that made me not like this fight was how easy re-lighting the lanterns was. maybe if after taking enough damage he broke the floor around them requiring use of the Flame Rod for the final silver arrow hit.

Fine, but let's go back to Zelda and Metroid then.

The gameplay in Metroid can not be judged solely on power-ups. The gameplay is about discovery/searching and shooting/action. If Metroid were a linear game where you went through one long tunnel from left to right, but with good power-ups, that would not have been a good game. The whole aspect if discovery would be gone. A major part of the gameplay would be non-existent.

Same with Zelda; take away the temples or bosses or the big world or whatever, the game would suffer more from that than from having great power-ups.

My point is power-ups are good additions to a game, and may make a good game into a great game, but it is not the most important criteria of what constitutes a great game.
