Even removed from the novelty of the time I think Ocarina's bosses are just pretty awesome; a serpentine dragon with a flowing mane of fire, a creepy one-eyed parasitic arachnid, A huge volcanic dinosaur...

The designs are cool.  I just think that the actual mechanics are pretty basic.  

They are indeed simple, but I find their simplicity quite elegant; I don't think a great boss needs to have complex routines or a convoluted process required to beat them, in fact I think most of the best boss fights are quite "basic" but executed in a way that's exciting and fun.
