Not generally. You do have a health meter (hearts) in Zelda, but the only enemies which really display their 'condition' during battle are the bosses. Every general enemy you encounter is usually defeated with a swing of the sword.
Yeah, I'll drop it ;) I hate RPG's.
Wizard: Look my friend we have encountered an armored knight!
Knight: What is an armor knight doing in a forest?
Wizard: That is unimportant! Now attack him!
Knight: My attack seems ineffective!
Wziard: I guess we should run away
Knight: Okay then
You try to run away but fail
Wizard: Oh dear it looks like he's faster then us.
Knight: HOW!? I MEAN LOOK AT ALL THAT ARMOR!?
Wziard: Oh no he's attacking!
GAME OVER
Yeah turn based battles suck.
By compelling, I mean I just don't 'wanna finish' the game. I HAVE to know how it ends.
