I actually did something like a hand boss in a Pathfinder game. It was a Beheaded and two giant crawling hands that acted as a single being. It could throw out spells like nobody's business.

Most early video games couldn't have anything large move around too much, so if they wanted to do a gigantic boss, it would have to sit in the background while a small part of it moved around. Hence the floating hands. There were other variants of it, too. Like pic related, where the claws moved a bit as platforms, but the main thing you were fighting was the tail (while also fighting an actual boss who would jump around).

The "secret" is that his hand keeps healing the other parts of him. Making it a tricky difficulty spike. There are a few other examples of this in Chrono Trigger.
>Lavos
>The Mammon Machine
>Golem Twins
>Azala & Black Tyrano
>Queen Zeal
Maybe he just needed to test the heroes.

the fanficlore says that Bongo Bongo originally was a person livng in Kakarico (his house was where the well is now) who stole the lens of truth (this part so far is true, an NPC tells you about it) then, because he was caught being a thief his punishment was to get his hand chopped like in the good ol' days (which explains Bongo's hands situation) but despite this Bongo kept his bad habits until he ended up being executed guillotine style (which is why there are so many in the temple) then his house was turned into the well and his spirit resided there until Ganondorf's victory made him strong enough to escape and claim the shadows temple as his own.

A good number of the Nintendo ones are just references to each other, like Master Hand having identical attacks to Wham Bam Rock, or Whathisface from Minish Cap being clearly based on Whatshisface from Wind Waker
