I think I'd prefer if there was a range for how much a certain food item heals a monster, instead of all of it's health in one bite. Not as many differences as with Link, but some difference would be nice.

the Yiga actually fail on Two counts: not only the "less-than-100% health = Always In Combat" rule mentioned in the video, but also because the Yiga dont 'eat' bananas (or whatever you drop on the ground to distract them with)-- they Swipe them...they can also apparently take more than just food (like weapons or items, including the Master Sword itself, if you lure one alllll the way to the forest), but they dont Equip the things they take, so i would assume that they dont Eat food items either, so itll never be known if it would heal them or not anyway...
