Those "Two Hands with a Big Head sometimes" bosses

PS: What is Bongo Bongo even supposed to be?
Design-wise? A torso hanging upside down with the head removed. The neck stump opens up like a flower to reveal the single eye. The hands were once attached—you can see that the wrists end in stumps with the bone partially exposed—but now float freely and are still under Bongo Bongo's control.

Conceptually? Evil spirit.

I suspect that the Youkai called Tenome may have been an inspiration for it
I never thought about it from that angle! That's probably it, honestly

Honestly this looks nothing like anything we saw in the entire franchise.

Is this creature a dead Sheika who became a corrupted being of revenge by Ganondorf's magic? Is this the actual nature of the Wallmasters and Doormasters?

I feel that the flower head may be important. Demogorgon.

Either cultural or because it's just the most basic kind of "game" that kids can do (like pretending to have their hands being animals that bite).

My memory about the details is fuzzy but I believe there's dialogue in Ocarina of Time that suggests certain things about BB's nature. IIRC, the Bottom of the Well looks like a torture chamber because it was; specifically, it was used by the Sheikah to punish and execute criminals who acted against the royal family. This is also true for the Shadow Temple, the place where BB travels to after he's released from the Well. Both areas share identical themes: torture and death.

Outside of that brief history, everything about BB is speculation. He's most likely meant to be the spirit of a criminal executed by the Sheikah.
 
Being that his hands are detached I wonder if his crime was stealing something important.
This is a common theory in the LoZ community. Some folks think it may have been the Lens of Truth because it's found inside the Well and Bongo Bongo is invisible unless using the Lens. However, that theory introduces a question: why does Dead Hand have it?
 
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Mortamor, as a boss not only each part has its own HP but in case you defeat any of them, the right hand can cast a spell that revives at full HP and the left one that revives 50% of the time at 50% HP.

Fun fact, if you beat the postgame super boss in less than 20 turns I believe you get a cutscene of him and this guy fighting and spoiler alert, it goes as everyone expects with the super boss absolutely destroying him as if it was nothing more than a level 1 slime.
