Doesn't that boss remind you of Gannondorf in his beast form From Zelda: Twilight Princess?
It would be cool, but i think those characters have more of the Twilight Town theme to them than Traverse Town. As for my decision I would go with Traverse Town. There's the secret waterway that leads from the ally to Merlin's house. There's got to be more to Traverse Town then meets the eye.
Yeah. It makes sense.
