I'll open with a POV shot of the water boss from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time approaching Link on a platform.

Not bad for a conversation starter.

Is that from a boss battle? Mouth Cam is a seperate trope that doesn't necessarily overlap with this one.

OP works, but I'm not sure it's because I know what's happening or because it shows. It's at least clear it's an underwater shot.

Wondered about that myself, actually. Here's a combination of two shots that should be clearer that the boss is advancing on the platform, but I'm looking forward to other suggestions.

It would be great if we did animated gifs, but I don't think it works as a still and I don't like how it looks as a multi-parter.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

[up][up][up] I actually don't think that's all that bad, but I'd like to see some other options.

I've got a question, the image has to come from a videogame, right?

Correct. This is a medium specific trope about player actions triggering the boss to wake up and reveal itself.

The non-videogame trope is usually Impending Doom P.O.V.: Seeing a sequence from the perspective of an attacker.

That would look better without the title card.
