Puzzles and Dungeon stuff.
Bosses are a pain, other then that I can't say I dislike making anything else.

For my 2 most favourite things, easily dungeons and probably overworlds. I feel like dungeons have so much potential for some awesome gameplay and ideas, and I generally love designing a variety of structures. Anywhere from prisons, temples or sky sanctuaries, down to just a cave-like theme. There's also great room for dungeon gimmicks which make each dungeon quite unique. As for overworlds, same can be said, but in addition I really like making everything connect up with each other for easy travel (even if my submitted quests don't show that lol)
My 2 least favourite things... probably interiors and coming up with new ideas for puzzles and bosses. As for interiors, caves and houses are quite hard to do since they're all kinda just the same, so it's hard to add variety at times and can look quite repetitive. As for coming up with new ideas, I seemed to have always gone for the red/blue blocks and block puzzles, but those are getting a little stale these days. As for bosses, people don't really like the standard Z1 bosses anymore and while I still think they are perfectly fine for a Z1-style quest, I don't really like using them much for other kinds of quest. Only problem is that I have no scripting knowledge, so custom bosses were quite hard for me lol. However, thank god for Moosh's Newbie Boss Script, that will definitely help so much with making bosses a bit more interesting.

What I enjoy most is coming up with new ideas and implementing them and I like dungeon design.
Things I enjoy less are designing things when I'm out of ideas and overworlds I guess.

I enjoy bosses, dungeons and long walks on the beach!
I dislike house interiors, and cutscenes. Credits are also a drag, but thankfully you only have to do it once per quest.

Enjoys:
Dislikes:
- Adding (often unnecessary) details to things. A LOT of details. Prettying up areas, adding "doodads" to tilesets, etc.
- Designing individual dungeon rooms and then connecting them together somehow, and that feeling that "Hey, my random dungeon-making will actually work out somehow!"
- Finding the perfect music for an area so it gets sufficiently moody while in that area. I will scrutinize over this for many hours.
- Dodongos
- Smoke.
- The obligation to create an entire overworld so it feels like it isn't a perfectly linear journey from one dungeon or plot area to the next. It's the "Filler" that kills me. I feel like every single room needs something in it, or else I'll have effectively wasted a screen somehow. I also hate having the player think "Well, every other room has some secret in it, so I don't believe that this one doesn't. I will use every single bomb and magic point in my disposal to find it!!!" Ugh. Poor player.
- As much as I love conceptualizing bosses, they are WAY too much work to handle. I don't script nearly as much as I want to, but I kind of have to in order to get what I want done.
This is literally my list as well lol. For your first point, on adding little details, and doodads, I often over do it, and end up with a really disorganized project, and usually drop it cause the palette turns into a nightmare.
But to add a bit, let's see:
