[Yokomitsu]

The water temple in the Master Quest remake.

You thought that shit was hard before!

 

[Snakktastic]

Dam there all so good, but I love the Shadow temple and sub dungeon well(s) where you get the the eye of truth.

 

[space_oddity]

I couldn't possibly choose, but the Forest Temple's music freaked the shit out of me so i'll vote for it. Spirit Temple felt like the most...epic.

 

[Alexadecimal]

I've gotta say the water temple, just because it's really quite hard and puzzling the first time you do it and forces your brain to whir into action, the music suits it well too.
I really liked the spirit temple as well, not least for the boss, but it wasn't quite as difficult as some of the other temples.
The shadow temple was kinda cool, but the puzzles were really obvious and it was quite linear, the lens of truth was a really sweet item but it made for some simple puzzles.

Why do people love this game it took them 7 years to develop and its just o.k. the franchise was great up snes then it lost something. Wind waker was by far the worst sail 20-30min so you can play an hour or two of game.

I believe the reason that people enjoy the game so much is because it did everything right. Yes, sure, the horse was a bit of a hassle to control but, instead of trying to think of a complaint about the game (since you obviously have none), try leaving a thread alone if you have nothing to contribute. Ocarina of Time != Wind Waker.

If there's one thing I hate more than anything its people trying to bash something while using another, completely different thing as a reference. I understand you prefer apples to oranges, good for you. Now, kindly, be on topic or leave the thread alone.

On topic: The well made me shit myself... I hated the shadow temple... fucking boat... but my favorite would have to be the forest temple. The memories I have of that dungeon are awesome. (Plus, every time I hear Crawling, by Linkin Park I think of that dungeon)

 

[Aardvark Soup]

I loved every single one of them. Zelda level designers are simply briliant.

 

[Bunnymarn]

I really liked the Deku Tree, Queen Gohma was a great boss... just wish she was more difficult. I think that the dropping down part was really original, as well as most of the dungeon.

I also liked the Forest Temple alot, but I didn't like the boss; annoying.

 

[Lieju]

I liked water temple a lot. I liked the architecture, and when I first played it, the difficulty was fitting and I just remeber liking it a lot. On the other hand, the forest temple was my least favorite. I remember an annoying amount of backtracking, wether that was because of how the puzzles were designed or if I just got lost and stuck, I can't remember.

And I liked Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly, because IT WAS INSIDE A FISH. Just so... bizarre.

 

[Wharghoul]

Lol I played this game so much I basicaly have the entire game memorized! Good times...

 

[Arayis]

Shadow Temple's my favourite, I like the drum boss at the end...
Spirit temple was pretty cool too, although the Witches at the end of it annoy me...

The Forest Temple taps into something within my soul.
I can't explain it but when I hear that music in it, it sends shivers up my spine, almost nostalgic ones even when I was first playing it. I love everything about that dungeon. The eerie misty atmosphere, the disturbing boss fight, the absolute dark greenness, all of it.

Well I have to agree with this FinalGamer here. There is something about the forest temple that just clicks with me. The other temples, once you disregard the temples you do as a child, I think tend to like equally.The best music would be from either forest of spirit temple.

I´ll join the choir. The atmosphere in Forest Temple is so eerie and there´s this weird feeling of oblivion all around. It really struck me. I sometimes start a new game just so that I could wonder around in that temple again. By today´s standard it might not that great a dungeon, but to me it has a lot of nostalgic value, and the atmosphere still appeals to me.

Shadow Temple would be a close second, because of it´s haunting and slightly menacing ambiance.

 

[Shadow5]

I really have to praise all the levels for their extraordinary design, I have never since played a game that has sucked me in so much.

Yes I found the well scary as shit and The forest temple was perfectly haunting

 

[REvolve]

Shadow Temple - was really quite fun especially doing the three-hearts run on Master Quest.

 

[Nazulu]

I would say my favourite would be the Forest Temple but that was until I got out of there. I felt a disturbance in the force as soon as I took one step into that place and the music and sounds creeped me out!

I'd like to share some thoughts of mine on The Shadow Temple. Every temple in this game holds two things - a purpose, and a gaurdian race. The Forest temple was originally a mansion - the design reveals this - habited by the people from before the Kokiri. The Fire temple was obviously a mine that was made into a shrine for the hero that fought the dragon by the Gorons. The water temple was a large mechanical device built by the Zora to allow them to better control the water flow (the Zora always seemed pretty smart to me). The Spirit temple was a place of worship for the Gerudo to their god(s).

The shadow temple has none of this. It serves no purpose - it can't be protecting anything because the first thing it gives you is the hover boots. Its not protecting anything, but the monster at its core. It also lies to you - not only is it the only temple to require the eye of truth in a major way, it also uses these in downright evil ways - there are signs that say "Come this way for the treasure" at the lip of invisible bottomless pits. It also has not one, but two points where it makes escape impossible - you cannot go back.

But there's more - this thing serves no point. Seriously, there is no practical use of it within the history of Hyrule - its simply there, a place that tries to do all it can to kill you. You, and only you - all traps are geared precisely towards Link.

My theory? The evil that was unleashed from the well wasn't just Bongo Bongo - it was the entire thing. The entire level is sentient, and just toying with you, trying to kill you, but drawing it out.

It's been a while since I played the game...could the shadow temple have originally been a catacombs?

 

[Xvito]

My favourite temple is the Fire temple, it's just amazing. The Boss-fight is intense, the Hammer is awesome and the small dudes that run around the elevator thingies are awesome.

PS. Everything else about it is also awesome!

 

[khululy]

I really hadn't had much trouble getting the water temple done I had more trouble finding my out of the shadow temple. but I don't really ahve a favorite dungeon they all have good and bad parts. I feel like playing minish cap again.

 

[Schwad]

The Forest Temple, in my opinion, had the best music in the Zelda series. It gets in your head, won't let go, and years later, you're flashing back to nine summers ago playing that dungeon. I can still remember exactly what my room was like during that time playing the dungeon...

I liked the last two "kid" dungeons, just because I'm fascinated by how linear they really are.
