The statue? That's where Link has to put the crystal gem after beating Horsehead.

The early bosses are usually easy.

Even though he was the first and easiest, Horsehead was probably my favorite Zelda 2 boss.

After the other bosses, I can agree.

For an 8-bit sprite, he actually looked pretty menacing and dangerous.

Imagine how it would look with today's graphics.

Yep. If it were redone in the modern game style, he would probably look like a force to be reckoned with. And he might even get a few lines of dialogue.

True. These bosses always have something to say before the battle.

Somebody actually did make a 3D version of Zelda 2, and this is what Horsehead looks like in it:

(It's also where I got that model of the Classic Princess Zelda from.)

Not a bad rendition.

I was watching a play through of the 3d version and unfortunately it actually ends after the first dungeon. Either it's incomplete or just a demo/test.

I first believe that it's a demo. It'll take time for the designer to do the whole game.
