Finished up the second Lava dungeon this time. The beginning of this dungeon involves a escort mission with the little Fi simp bot, and it's very strange that it's even included here. I kind of didn't like the tunnel areas, they've kind of played out the same for the most part. There's some fun to be had, but it's kind of a weak mechanic at times. There's some clever stuff with the lava hand enemies that you have to trick to lift you up to higher areas, but overall I'm not too keen on this dungeon.
Ghirahim really feels like a direct response to the complaints about Zant from Twilight Princess. I've seen a lot of people mention how Twilight Princess disappointed them with Zant since he just ends up being a crazy person instead of what he's portrayed in being. I didn't really mind this, given that it was obvious from the beginning that Zant wasn't going to be the real villain, but I think Ghirahim so far has been a great villain. He's very witty, cunning, and incredibly honest with Link, which is an interesting quality to him. Usually with these types of villains, they're always the liars or the cheaters, but he's very open about his plans, notices when he loses his temper and wishes not to unjustly put that anger on you, and then proceeds to threaten to cut you down. There's almost a level of respect to him that's interesting, especially for a Nintendo villain.
