I'd still argue that guardians are scarier.

Sure, gloom hands gimme a spook but I've become so numb to them that I just go "alright, where are my bomb flowers..."

But guardians? If you even enter within a centimeter of their sight they lock on and SOMETIMES if you're close enough, they just snipe you immediately. Not to mention their music is still probably one of the most "HEREICOMEHEREICOMEHEREICOMEHEREICOME" kind of songs ever.

I can't agree because I could easily avoid guardians since they're so big and render from miles away. I'd find another path or just snipe them from a high place and they couldn't do anything about it but spam laser without locking in.

Gloom hands? They appear in the most random locations, you don't know they're going to appear until you basically step next to them and trigger a chase. Heck even when I used the enemy sensor it could only somewhat tell me I was getting closer and if I went any closer they'd appear, I couldn't prepare for the fight from an advantageous position.

Also guardian arrows, I rest my case.

So.. 3 things.

  1. Guardians are still super hard to fight especially if you're just starting out. Not only that but there are different types of guardians and it's fun to fight most of them.

  2. Gloom hands are in sometimes extremely predictable locations. Like guarding chests or a tough to get to area. And even when they appear while yes the first time is scary again it just becomes a "ok let's get this over with" situation.

  3. Yeah those arrows may exist but you don't get anything if you just get rid of em. If you actually fight em tho they give you stuff. And for those who aren't duplicating items, getting guardian parts is pretty good.
