damn! How can I add a video? The option appears disabled?!

I would say it is quite dated now, but I will also say ils411's issues seem a little extreme, I also can't say I had much trouble with the targeting system. Certainly not back then when I first played it (wasn't OoT the first game to use a z-targeting system like that?) but it can be a little clunky now... I certainly noticed the difference when I moved from OoT to Windwaker about a month ago, and although Twilight Princess reverts back to a very similar system (due to me having the Wii version) I would say it is improved, OoT is a little clunky.

Unless the 3DS version has changed for some reason (not sure why Nintendo would do something drastic though) perhaps ils411 hasn't realised you can move the camera where you want by walking and tapping Z (or I presume the L-trigger in the 3DSs case) As for not targeting far away things, I can't think what would cause that, though you can change the method of targeting between hold and switch (with hold you have to hold the L-trigger to target 1 enemy, and let go and re-press quickly to switch between multiple targets... while with switch you can just press L once to target a single enemy, and press it again to switch to the next target if there are multiples)

The whole concept of the boss battles is flawed. They are more like puzzles where you hit their weak spot with the item you got in the dungeon and then they fall to the ground and you slash them with your sword. Rinse and repeat.

It wouldn't hurt if they went back to the old formula of say ALttP. Bosses taking quite some hits without ever getting stunned and dealing notable damage to the player. Builds more tension and makes things more interesting, even though the battles are actually shorter than the modern puzzle bosses.

Yes, Ocarina of Time had more challenging boss fights than Twilight Princess. But that mostly only goes for the first time you play either game, once you've got the pattern down you will barely ever get hit.

Now of course the ALttP bosses also become easier on repeated playthroughs, but there's still more challenge, because in most cases the bosses have some sort of unpredictability to their movements, so you still have to pay attention to what is going on.

Of course it is related to the 2D design. Action can be way more intense, yet still be fair in a game like ALttP. Since it's pretty much impossible to replicate this sort of game design in a 3D space with a moving camera, this is reason enough to continue making 2D Zelda titles, because they offer something different that is good.
