This whole VA love the media is spewing really gets on my nerves, there's about a 50% chance that VA will ruin the game and the MM series is consistently on the wrong side of that divide.
I wonder if they fixed that silly requirement that you select the matching mission before entering an area or the boss won't spawn.
And wow, looks like they finally went against the clichee of "man = slow and strong, female = fast but weak".
BTW, I can't agree with Gamespot's claim that the difficulty is at 11 in ZX, the game was fairly easy once you got used to it and got some upgrades although it never turned into a cakewalk like modern Zeldas after 3-4 heart containers.
