Water Temple (LofZ:OofT)

[Deleted]

Am I the only one who actually like this dungeon and didn't think it was that hard as people claim it to be?

Nope, I've been saying that for years. It's more of an annoyance than being difficult, with the constant having to access the inventory to put on/take off the iron boots.

I agree with the "more annoying than hard" assessment, not only due to the Iron Boots swapping, but also due to the fact that you can easily get your small keys crossed and temporarily screw yourself over as well. This happened to me and it made the Water Temple a good 3-week ordeal, hahaha.

Heck, my personal favorite dungeon in the game, the Spirit Temple, is quite a bit tougher than the Water temple.

I hated this temple

if my brother wasn't helping me I doubt I would've beat the temple

[Pseudonym]

I love that Temple to death. The music was amazing, the detail and atmosphere was amazing. The only one problem I had was ONE KEY. God I finally did everything climbed up the Water ladder thing. (Room to the left after entering) Then saw a locked door. Spent hours trying to find it, realised it was infront of me the whole time, and moved on. I can never get over just how awesome that Temple was and looked.

It's not hard, it's just really boring and tedious. Even the boss battle is kinda lame. If it weren't for the battle with Dark Link, there'd be nothing redeemable about it.

I don't really get the flak of the Water Temple. I really enjoyed the temple and beat it on my first try in one day in a short amount of time. Maybe thats why I didn't mind it. I didn't care for the Forest Temple because I was stuck in one part for a while and the boss battle was pretty underwhelming.

My feelings exactly.

When I was a kid playing with my older brother, it was pretty much only the one Temple I could beat.

The only part that ever gave me trouble was the raising the water in the central chamber to get to the room underneath the block. It is easy to circle around for hours and forget that is even there.

I found the forest temple in Wind Waker to be more frustrating, because I totally forgot about the Kokiri's ability to plant seeds.

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

IMO forest temple was way more hard

Problem with the Water Temple is that had a horrible design (not graphically, in that aspect must be my favorite temple in the game)

I'm okay with it.

The Shadow Temple, though, can f*** off and die. Hate that place - it's so goddamn long and confusing. Plus most recent play through I went the whole game without dying until a glitch made Bongo Bongo unable to take damage.

I remember hating it when I first played it at age 14. Played through it again a couple of years ago and breezed through it, and this was the Master Quest version.

Shadow Temple is definitely worse. Hell I think Fire Temple is slightly too.

In Master Quest the Water Temple is actually way easier. On the other hand, the Fire Temple is a nightmare. That could easily take the cake as the toughest level in Zelda history.

As for the normal game, I was stuck at the Water Temple forever. All the temples I had a little trouble with, but the Water one was the toughest (provided this was on my first playthrough when I was 11). I actually blazed through the Spirit Temple once I figured out needing to do it as a kid then adult (I was the kind of gaming idiot that skipped all the conversations back then). I almost made it to the end in about a couple of hours.

Shadow gave me fits as I was still getting used to what the Lens of Truth could and couldn't do. Once I got used to it, then it was no sweat. Not to mention the boss was stupid easy.

[Ash Kingston]

I still can't believe how... well, easy the Water Temple appears to be in Master Quest.

But in the original... yeah, it was really more tedious than anything. It was one of those dungeons where I cheated, printed off a guide from GameFAQS, and still got lost or mixed up 85% of the time.

Re: Shadow Temple - After the first couple times, I learned to do it just long enough to get the Hover Boots before chanting a hearty "blow me!" and doing the Spirit Temple. Not because it was hard, but because it creeps me right the **** out! >_<

The problem is that the Water Temple was more confusing than hard. You might accidentally waste a key at a certain point and you'll have to work a long way to get another key. Plus, the Iron Boots and regulating the water level were both tedious and are why the dungeon is so jaded.

[The Ichi]

Damn, I didn't know the Master Quest Water Temple was easier. I don't feel acomplished anymore lol.

And yeah, the Fire Temple is tough on MQ. I got stuck on the entrance!

Oh, I'm going to be playing Master Quest soon. I'm awaiting the challenge.

I wish I had the master quest disc.
