I love this area. And I love how you get to the Bottom, and the music goes all wonky, twisted and dark. I was all like :O

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

I just realized that the majority of parts for this song are some form of percussion. Like droplets striking a water's or basin's surface theme. That's pretty cool.

[@Fishmon14]

This was probably my favorite dungeon in the game.

[@LivE-cm9zv]

8 years later and I still come to this song

[@sierramay5934]

Cisterns were build to hold water. They were used for toilets, showers/handwashing, washing dishes and cooking/drinking. All depended on the type of cistern.

[@tomthestone1470]

Sierra Benson Probably drinking, or maybe a barrier to stop the curse.

[@SilverLoftwing]

So peaceful.. yet it still makes me feel like I'm going exploring.

[@quizboy99]

Finally a water temple were I don't have to rip my hair out

[@Rovelius39X7]

Water Temple from Ocarina of Time: fucking sucks. Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask: I'd rather drown. Lakebed Temple from Twilight Princess: Actually, pretty cool. Ancient Cistern from Skyward Sword: FUCKING GENIUS.

[@djb5255]

Just playing through TP this summer. It double my appreciation for the Lakebed Temple, and how the central puzzle involves manipulating the direction of the duct.

[@princesszelda125]

I couldn't agree more to this haha

[@hanino6453]

This dungeon was so good, seriously.

[@alfonsoRz722]

this dungeon is one of my favorites (tied with the sand ship)

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

they need to start playing this in spas everywhere.

[@Veranek]

Easily this dungeon is top 5 of all the dungeons in the games.

[@blastermine]

if you played OOT you'd think the silver rupees were only worth 5 and you'd try to find them all to open a door.

[@JaniHalfFolk]

Well There goes that plan of not spoiling the music until christmas when I get the game Because I'm now listening to this.

[@cosmo7238]

Answering after a decade. How was it? :) What was your favourite part of the game?

[@LPanimal6]

The tad tone trial! Reminds me of Mario sunshine

[@Checkers10]

It's been a decade. How do you feel about the game now? :)

[@thelegendofchris3799]

the heaven part in the dungeon :')

[@catherinemitchell8952]

Soothing theme, I think it will do well as as a yoga song

[@helloimawesome77]

Somebody said that all the dungeon themes in this game (save for Skyview) were ear rape or lame. I wonder if he even has ears.

[@MasterPibb]

best water dungeon ever :)

[@kuraian2]

The first zelda water dungeon thats liked by many people??!! whats this world coming to? lol yea i actually liked this one but when i first entered i immediately thought about the water temples of the older zelda titles and how frustrating they were.

[@MrL1193]

@Ocsttiac I actually realized that it was a trap right about when I reached the Rupee, just before the hand grabbed me, but the realization came one second too late. >_< But then again, I probably would have tried to grab it anyway just to see what happened. :P

[@keviaaar]

@helloimawesome77 Agreed, this game probably has some of the best dungeon themes ever.

[@Linuqs]

It reminds me of Rayman 2 more than other Zeldas (but even if I played most of them, I probably don't remember all the musics) ^^"

[@gottaseetheworld]

Anyone else notice how the xylophone ( i think htat's what it is) kinda sounds like the beginning of the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask? Or is that just me?

[@reno1333270]

Oh my god I love you thaaaanks 8D

[@Guitarist500]

@Ocsttiac True lol I took a sneak peak of the dungeon and found out about the hand :P

[@ferret8001]

Reminds of the Ankhol Ruins from Golden Sun.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Nah, Ankhol is a warmer tune. This is cool and ripply.

[@ChaosChicken200]

@ImKevin15 They actually sound like dungeon themes, I mean, OoT's temple themes are great, I love them (!!!), but they do not all sound like actual temple themes.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

this video is MGHTY no, that's not a typo

[@kuraian2]

@TheCMVE Well yea the map helped to see which treasure box you missed but the thing with the water temple in Oot was the constant changing of the water levels and if you missed just one key, it was very frustrating trying to figure out which room you had to get to in order to get it. Basically I had to keep tracing my steps over and over again and that damn water changing was a headache -sigh- even today itll still take me longer to complete the water temple than any other even with a strategy.

[@Ocsttiac]

@Guitarist500 Once you figure them out, they're really easy; it's just that I didn't expect it to happen first time round XD I was like: "SILVER RUPEES!" *Swims over and gets caught*

[@wiiztec]

Are you sure these arn't different audio layers of the same song

[@Guitarist500]

@Ocsttiac idk they were really easy for me..

[@ZiggyIsGrape]

I don't think they're that great, but they definitely aren't bad =/

[@DXBoyzofHardy]

the first floor

[@dssbanditkeith]

mfw I made it to the very bottom of the level and saw fucking zombies

[@AK--wt8mn]

0:00 Coraline???

[@Endaviour]

and you completely missed the joke.

[@DJDALLYDEE]

Hmm, I also read on a thread that people believed Skyward Sword to put a shame to the Zelda series. I tend to wonder if people have brain damage or not.

[@braden9294]

Skyward Sword is like my favourite Zelda game thus far (I have yet to play Breath of the Wild). I guess some people do have brain damage

[@AlphaCrucis]

It's largely because they don't like the motion controls.

[@grimmhansen]

bad memorey >:(

[@Endaviour]

Ancient cistern? Seriously? A cistern hold the water in a toilet...
