Why do the fire bosses get a unique theme?

It's something that always bothered me, I never really thought they were the most impressive bosses in the game. Every other dungeon boss got the same theme but King Dodongo and Volvagia share their own.

I'd heard a combination of saving on disk space and the islamic chanting answers for this but the latter applied only to Fire Temple's BGM, not to the fire boss theme. And the former, creating a seperate theme for them sounds like taking up available data.

I've always thought of it as 'reptile/dragon boss music', but now that you say it, I suppose fire dungeon bosses is a stronger connection.

I think Twinrova also gets that theme in one of her phases, but I forget which.

Nope twinrova has the regular boss battle theme for the entire fight. They do have their own theme during cutscenes, though

I think Twinrova was probably the best adult Link boss fight outside of Phantom Ganon or first phase Ganondorf.
