[@onoezful]

Maybe I am alone in this, but I LOVED the Spirit Temple in Ocarina of Time.

[@firepool-lightclan7849]

YAAAS especially the music =3

[@onoezful]

Especially the music =)

[@splashftw268]

Music: Yes. Temple: FUCK NO I hate that bloody place.

[@BRMichel7X]

I think all the temples in OoT are quite remarkable apart from the Fire Temple maybe.

[@splashftw268]

The fire temple is my favorite from that game.

[@heymikkao]

Every time I watch one of these videos, I have the urge to replay a Zelda game

[@samwesolowski7740]

+Michael Kao same though!

[@armandovaltierra5892]

Especially the classics & twilight princess

[@pablocoss1283]

+Armando Valtierra Sure thing. I've been replaying Zelda games for the past six months. Started with OoT (3DS), then MM (3DS), TWW (GC), TP and ALBW. The reason: I never played Skyward Sword and I wanted to sort of build to the moment. I'm almost done (final temple) and although I feel dissatisfied with the latter, it has been a pretty cool experience. Besides, noticing that TWW has aged well is priceless. A beautiful game.

[@armandovaltierra5892]

+Pablo Coss Flores man I have never finished a single game lol mostly because the games weren't mine but I have a 2ds & wanna get ocarina of time but my r button is jammed & I'm pretty sure the R button is pretty important for those games

[@mirkecWii]

Yep,I just restarted my majora mask 3d replay

[@LordSiravant]

Stone Tower is so disorienting, but I love the theories behind it. Some say it was like the Tower of Babel, and its creation was why Ikana was cursed.

[@smileplease_91]

Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time is my favorite Zelda dungeon.

[@emizerri]

Yussss OMG it's so memorable!

[@tyreldalzell1489]

yes it is my favorite zelda dungeon

[@matithegammer]

That temple ruined my childhood

[@GoogleuserBadgoogleuser]

martin monta same

[@Prince_Sidon]

The Music !!! OMG

[@swoodnoodles2983]

At least they mentioned The Minish Cap. Most underrated and under appreciated Zelda game in my opinion.

[@antwonbilon2281]

I agree about the minish cap being underrated, but tbh my favorite zelda is phantom hourglass. The game is incredibly under appreciated

[@olie171]

+Eskimo007 Exactly! I love that game.

[@charlesundying5315]

+Dank Jolo I know exactly what you mean; the phantom hourglass is never even mentioned in any legend of zelda countdown, as if the game doesn't even exist

[@MCMeru]

+Charlie Marshall I guess thats because (imo) it doesnt compare to the other great zelda titles. it sure is nice and all, but there are way better zeldas.

[@abelleyva3204]

don't worry, every underrated zelda seems to be getting a remake

[@Vadagarr]

I liked the Spirit Temple

[@WandererRedux]

Feel like the Spirit Temple from OoT deserves an honourable mention as well. It has the best use of the child/adult mechanic in the game.

[@williampatrick2971]

Spirit temple wasn't even on this list and I would have put it at number one

[@yeahsure4796]

I've played Stone Tower right after beating the Spirit Temple once just to see which one I like better. I found out that I prefer Stone Tower. I like how unique the atmosphere and the puzzles are, not to mention the awesome mini-bosses. The Spirit Temple is definitely in the top three for me, but Stone Tower just barely beats it.

[@dominikstute5810]

@@yeahsure4796 stone tower is my favorite dungeon ever since ive played it the first time

[@ayylmao578]

Yeah Sure I love stone tower it just always fucks me up At least the water temple follows a clockwise pattern after you find Ruto

[@Josh-ut4wv]

same

[@DGRIZY]

The Forest Temple was that place that scared the shit out of me as a child because of those damn hands... God I love that temple

[@Mitjitsu]

No mention of Hyrule Castle in TP. Nor mention of my personal favourite Snowpeak from TP.

[@lombardi6673]

I liked the atmosphere of the castle In to but there weren't any amazing puzzles to solve

[@jrmann331]

I liked the snow level from TP too it was a unique experience especially the boss fight.

[@Mitjitsu]

Lombardi667 They had the Shadow Temple on the list. Great atmosphere, but lacking in terms of design and puzzles.

[@Jasonmendez795]

Snowpeak was awesome. What I liked about that was the whole exploring a giant mansion with ice fighters that throw Javelins. Snow wolves won it for me. Just getting there by a race on a frozen leaf makes it memorable enough.

[@hurricaneofcats]

+Mitjitsu The snowpeak temple from TP was my favorite solely because of the Yeti and his delicious soup :3

[@davidlexussolarplexus]

I love how different our lists are. My personal favorites are Goron Mines, Snowpeak Ruins, Great Bay, Water Temple(OOT), and the Lanayru Mining Facility

[@jorgefraile218]

LMF is also my fav! its just so good!

[@mattr0fact949]

What i

[@keithtestaverde3712]

I love how the Water Temple, basiclly the most famous dungeon in all of Zelda, and arguably the hardest... is an honorable mention -_-

[@paulopocasangrekreling8752]

@@thekingofracoons Hahaha for me it wasn't that hard.

[@gaboonviper4157]

i thought it was rather easy..

[@linkdorf376]

Water temple is really easy. Just get compass and map. I know it gets called for hardest zelda dungeon a lot, but jabu jabu in oracle of ages is hardest by far.

[@jorgefraile218]

Ok, maybe I'm weird, but the Water Temple is one of my favourite of all the series, the one I hate was Jabu-Jabu

[@Bman54X]

My favourite is Snowpeak Ruins from Twilight Princess. I love that it takes place in a mansion. Runner-ups are the Forest Temple, Earth Temple and Sandship. Also, the Tower of the Gods? Really? I consider that the worst dungeon in the game.

[@BHM_Productions]

+Bman54X Snowpeak Ruins was certainly a unique level. Trying to find that yeti's lost items was infuriating but still fun and refreshing. And the puzzles were neat (if frustrating as well).

[@Mitjitsu]

+Bman54X ToG was the best dungeon in TWW. However, I will admit the dungeons in that game were poor overall.

[@Bman54X]

Mitjitsu Well I think otherwise. Cool boss, but I thought the dungeon was a chore. I admit Dragon Roost Cavern and Forbidden Woods are fairly average, but the Earth and Wind Temples are awesome.

[@pablocoss1283]

+Bman54X Agreed. I recently replayed TWW (Gamecube version) and, although I came to realize Tower of the Gods is not as bas as I remembered, I don't think it's top 10 material.

[@mirkecWii]

hey pic stealer,I like snowpeak too

[@SmashingBanana]

No mention of that neat triforce dungeon in skyward sword

[@SonPan4life]

+docxy I was also thinking that... that was SUCH a great dungeon! The jigsaw mechanic was cool

[@NIneDJcali]

+SonPan4life yea it was a cool concept, but if you knew what you were doing you could skip 1 or 2 rooms, which makes it a complete joke.

[@papersonic9941]

+NIneDJcali Don't think that's a problem. That rewards knowing what you're doing.

[@alessandrocambruzzi801]

+docxy But this dungeon dont have i final boss.

[@ryangensch6304]

+NIneDJcali you can actually skip 3 using a simple glitch in the fire Santuary room.

[@dannyarcana0017]

Shame the spirit temple wasn't on here, but what can you do? Can't have OoT everywhere, right?

[@myst5454]

i personally hate that temple. To me its too easy and shallow. (except for master quest. fuck master quest spirit temple)

[@MrDarksword123]

I loved the master quest spirit temple, in my opinion that and ganon's tower were more memorable in that version. They were more challenging and really had some tough puzzles that had to make you think

[@dannyarcana0017]

Remember the room in Spirit where you had to play melodies to open up a door

[@trendingtv4882]

I loved it. Those hover boots 😃

[@parksyist]

I always thought spirit was too easy for a final temple

[@MrDarksword123]

Ocarina of time, twilight princess and skyward sword had the best dungeons I thought.

[@LordMalice6d9]

Skyward Sword honestly only had two really good dungeons (Lanayru Mining facility and Sand Ship), the rest were lacking in comparison to other zelda games.

[@dustinarcher6655]

I agree, but the temples in the wind waker were pretty cool. There really wasen't one that i was disappointed with.

[@_SK23]

Why u no Majoras Mask (ò_óˇ)

[@comradeweedity1648]

MrDarksword123 Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Four Swords Adventures had the best soundtrack, gameplay, and dungeons. Hands down.

[@pixelshades2413]

Madras mask some pretty good ones!

[@d5rmantis]

I may be alone on this, but I've always loved Snowpeak Ruins.

[@samwesolowski7740]

+Aaron Ritchie What +RR said.:) It was so cozy!

[@thebuzzy537]

same. I was stuck on it for days. The music was eerie too and the whole place was kinda mysterious

[@lemusthealien]

+Aaron Ritchie Best dungeon ever, man.

[@TioAceite]

+Aaron Ritchie Best dungeon m8

[@RainbowDashsBBFF]

+Aaron Ritchie Loved it. And the fact that you face a moral dilemma by having to fight Yeta makes it that much better.

[@zeldaisy7743]

Gah! I agree with #1! My favorite dungeon! It has some of the best music, too.

[@trentodea6442]

OtakuZelda+ Stone tower temple is one of (if not the best) dungeon. It test your abilities, it has a cool theme where you flip the dungeon, and as you said the music is fantastic. It also has a good pay out in a the end and it made me forget about Great Bay.

[@TheBigBadGRIM]

I like Snowhead Temple in Majora's Mask because of the route up the temple to get to the boss door. Also.........the boss which was a giant bull. Spinning around and hitting him was fun.

[@TheNerdyGinger]

#1 is always either the forest temple or stone tower :p. Can't really complain though, they are great after all.

[@teamprimarina]

Stone Tower ******* sucks

[@arthurmorgan1008]

Stone Tower is the best temple in a zelda game period and the ForestTemple comes after it.

[@Josh-ut4wv]

@@arthurmorgan1008 it just depends on if you like playing one song a lot to make the statues if you do then it is fine if you dont the forest temple is on top. Though for me it is the spirit temple is my number one though the forest isnt too far behind

Yup Stone Tower is the best in The whole Zelda franchise...

+Uncle Ram i wanna play this "dungeon"...

[@Armageddon-yt3so]

Uncle Ram oh. gotcha ;)

[@morandasavich9563]

What we need is a shrinking mechanic like in Minish Cap only for a console game. Having this ability opened a whole new world of possibilities for puzzles, dungeons, and even just getting around armos. It allowed you to explore not only the Minish areas (villages) but also places you could normally explore while big (like castle town), only with a different vantage point. It was an interesting mechanic that really added a lot of variety to the game. I think that would add some excellent dungeons to the list.

[@user-jn8bj8jo4y]

the shadow temple in Ocarina of Time ruined my childhood... but it was worth it Edit: the likes oh god

[@Shade2800]

Iapitus McHeimer Well, differing opinions sure, but still, I found it pretty darn hilarious to see it as at least and honorable mention. I think more people hate it than love it. I'm more or less indifferent, but I find it annoying at times.

Honestly, I feel lucky that this game franchise was even created. The Legend of Zelda series has given me thousands of hours of fun and happiness from the time I was 7 years old, clear into my late 20’s and quite obviously beyond. Thank you, Shigero Miyamoto, I’m forever in your debt.

[@bradenskaggs5350]

Honestly I find the Temple of Time from Twilight Princess very underrated and a really good idea for mechanics being a kind-of throwback to WW's uses of moving statues. Overall, really good (like pretty much all of the TP dungeons

[@christydunne8573]

Except for snowpeak ruins…

[@Levaunch]

@@christydunne8573 Snowpeak ruins is one of, if not the best dungeon in Twilight Princess. Sounds like someone couldn't solve the ice block puzzle :/

[@christydunne8573]

@@Levaunch the snowblock puzzle was one of the better aspects of the dungeon, the slow swinging platforms, tedious pace and headaches for enemies make it ass

[@domoru5264]

Personally I find the temple of time to be an amazing dungeon due to the fact that I think that the temple of time was meant to be a dungeon in oot but was scrapped. Hear me out whenever you play saria’s song and talk to Navi in a dungeon she will always say “Link try to keep moving!” Which she says that in the temple of time. That’s why I believe that TP was the chance to breathe new life into a scrapped dungeon

[@JasonVaysberg]

My favorite, The Forest Temple was here! Awesome list! :) I think The Deku Tree should have been an honorable mention at least. It was actually brilliant because it was a tutorial that did not feel at all like a tutorial.

[@Megan-bw2ep]

When i was younger, the forest temple scared me so much that i didnt wanna go to the forest temple XD

[@eriksolis1184]

Megan Dix for real bro, i was like 10 year olds and after 2 years I finally passed the forest temple it really is scary with the music

[@salsaspartan7]

Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time is definitely my favorite. That music is so calming and soothing. I could listen to it all night long.

+AXHP Link's Awakening is in my opinion, the best Zelda game and Mermaids Cave pissed me off so much, I just quit the game. Never gone back.

[@VolutoEighto]

I liked the spirit temple from ocarina of time. It had neat puzzles, good loot like the mirror shield and silver gauntlets, and it actually put traveling through time to good use. Also, the boss fight with two parts that include shooting an ice/fire imbued mirror shield and neat gameplay was nice too.

[@Megidramon]

Honestly kinda surprised that TP didnt have more entrances.

[@wolfensteinassassin2744]

Megidramon personally my favorite dungeon from TP is the Temple of Time

[@johnhatzis3113]

As far as dungeon design and intricacy go, Twilight Princess' dungeons were a bit lackluster in my opinion. But the atmosphere is almost unrivalled. The standout is, of course, the Lakebed Temple. Puzzlebox dungeons and players are in a love/hate relationship really. Dungeons like The Water Temple of OoT, the Lakebed Temple in TP and the Sky Keep of SS are real treasures of puzzle design, but sometimes become unbearable due to poor progression choices. Just imagine the Water Temple without needing to constantly equip/remove the Iron Boots for example. I just feel that dungeons today more often than not house the challenge, while they should BE the challenge. But what do I know, a sucker whose favourite dungeon is a water temple, about dungeon design. 😂

[@wolfensteinassassin2744]

John Hatzis eh the water temple didn’t bother me much the one dungeon I got stuck the longest on was the Snowpeak Ruins on Twilight Princess

[@TheGauges420]

JebaJebaJemeh absolutely right. one of my favorite temples. might be repetitive as hell, but, it's a great puzzle, and when you boil it down that's what Zelda games go off of, so I think it's amazing. perfect balance of challenging and still keeping me interested. anyone that doesn't like it I believe it's because they couldn't beat the hard temple on their own.

[@sadovuato]

Alec Sheerin the water temple is FREAKING ANNOYING!!!!!!! That's why!

[@TheGamingPolitician]

MC Tilo this is a top 10 best not a top 10 worst

[@samchernis181]

The Spirit and Shadow Temples in OoT were the BEST. I loved the Shadow Temple's dark and creepy atmosphere as well as Below The Well, and I actually enjoyed them as a kid. And I still do, of course. Spirit Temple to me had rich puzzles and a really fun boss fight with the Twinrova too, and the Shadow Temple's boss Bongo Bongo was actually challenging the first time I played, but as I grew up he got easier to fight, and these temples were actually pretty fun!

[@chrisraz2043]

The forest temple only works so well because the music was composed so well. The tune captivates the player with the pure feel of being in ancient mysterious woods, apart from that the guy that came up with twisting room floor was a genius mastermind, perfectly adding to the feeling of mystery.

[@BHM_Productions]

I might be the only one who thinks this, but I frikin loved the water temple in Twilight Princess.

My favs are Arbiters grounds, Fire Temple, Spirit Temple, Stone Tower, Ganon's castle, Fire Sanctuary, Turtle Rock, and Temple of Time

[@jabbott5324]

For me it will always be the Thieves' Hideout from Link to the Past. It was rare to have dungeons with substantial backstories back then, and figuring out the secret with the boss room is one of my best early gaming memories. Also really enjoyed the desert temple from Ocarina of Time.

[@jakeabc123]

This is an impressive list. Very spot-on.

[@Celestial07]

@@jakeabc123 I took into account many factors, like physical structure/geometry, overall level of difficulty, non-linearity and lower emphasis on puzzle-solving vs linearity and higher empahsis on quality step-by-step puzzles, and graphical art design style. Accessibility is important, so I was determining this for a more objective standpoint.

[@ravens52raylewis87]

What you didn't like the Arbiters Grounds that's a lot of people's favorite dungeon

[@pixarian]

i always enjoy finishing Great Bay Temple (like clockwork now, since i know it so well). the changing of water flow, the swimming as a Zora, the music. and that boss. a superb dungeon.

[@jluce88]

On the real real, the Spirit Temple was my absolute favorite, there was so many variables and different things that needed to be accomplished, and you get the coolest looking shield in all of Zelda. And I've never thought the forest temple was that great besides the boss. That is one of the most creative bosses to fight.

[@caitlinvance3181]

One of my favourite Zelda temples is the ice temple in Phantom Hourglass because I like how they used the grappling hook/rope in it & that was the only boss in the entire game where I had to look online on how to beat it. I also like the number 10 one because that was 1 of the few water temples that didn't want me to rip my hair out.

[@willeustace9401]

[@june-lol1175]

Unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed the Dark Palace from A Link Between Worlds. Something about a dungeon with literal darkness as the theme, having to use it to see certain walls platforms and enemies, and an eerie theme on top of it all makes it somewhat enjoyable.

+Xenon631 I was waiting for Spirit Temple ):

[@latininxtc]

+Xenon631 As far as water temples go, Lakebed was FAR better than the OoT Water Temple and Great Bay Temple in MM. BUT I think the most disappointing element of the dungeon, which is its boss, really brought it down in quality.

[@romahnae]

+Xenon631 i love all water stages. zelda games set a trend for water stages to be hard. water temple, great bay, lakebed.. love them all.

[@MaruchanPrime]

I love this list a lot! Great dungeons!

[@AlwinBarbacena]

I was waiting for the stone tower and i am satisfied with this list. 😊

[@Mikemic2218]

do a top 10 zelda mini bosses!

[@BRMichel7X]

Dark Link would be number 1 for sure. My personal favorite is Skyward Sword`s Dreadfuse

[@Mikemic2218]

***** cuz dude dark link is epic mini boss.

[@BRMichel7X]

MikeMic productions I totally agree. An epic fight for an epic temple

[@Mikemic2218]

Michel Salazar yup

[@VolutoEighto]

*Cough* *Cough* Iron Knuckle *Cough*

[@jasonleaf5719]

my favorite was the wind temple in the legend of Zelda the wind waker

[@Alpha-Trion7]

I enjoyed the dungeon with Moldorm (segmented snaky thing) in Link to the Past! Although it is incredibly frustrating (he can knock you down a floor, and you gotta start again), it is equally rewarding when you finally beat him. No other dungeon boss has gotten my heart pounding like this creature! Cheat codes don't even help you here, you really gotta earn your victory!

[@joshuaweston6531]

I totally see Stone Tower Temple taking the no. 1 spot, even if I myself might not have put it quite that high...but I do get it. The Forest Temple is amazing! That musical theme! The whole dungeon is surprisingly creepy, yet serene...

[@darkmom8903]

skyward sword had the best dungeons.

[@connorsmith75]

Why is the Water Temple on the Honorable Mentions list?

[@Sophia-ht9ng]

Because of the Charm and Music😀

[@PoisonXLZ]

+Connor Smith Because it's a good dungeon.

[@beanman1856]

Even though Stone Tower isn't my favorite temple, it certainty has amazing music.

[@jfutt1236]

You should do top ten zelda theories (I dont know if you already did this one)

[@lucasparr9935]

3:27 A Flink Between Worlds. THATS MY *FAVORITE* ONE!!

[@unicorndemon2806]

Snowpeak Ruins is definitely my personal favorite. I really like the design of the mansion. Twilight Princess had the best dungeons overall for sure.

[@mattie3883]

i actually liked almost all the temples from skyward sword because they were a bit shorter than temples from the other games in the zelda series. But from all the temples i liked sky keep from skyward sword most because almost all of the mechanics from the game come back and i had a hard time finding out where to go most of the time because of the moving rooms! i do agree with the ancient cistern being in the top ten because it's a great temple!

[@HizumiOfTheBlood]

I was waiting for Water Temple being in the 1rst place, but I believe that Stome Templr deserves it better. Anyway... I think that Spirit Temple deserves at least a hoborable mention.

[@ic3t3ap3ach]

Space Witch Spirit Temple was too short imo but it was nice that you have to play with young and old link.

[@CrazyMetroid]

Glad that Shadow Temple got on the list, it may have scared me a bit as a kid but I still loved it.(Along with the Nocturne of Shadows)

[@jorgefraile218]

For me it is: -Ancient Cistern -Lanayru Mining Facility -Sandship -Lakebed Temple -Palace of Twilight -Water Temple -Forest Temple -Stone Tower Temple

Number 1 made me so happy to see, it's my favorite zelda dungeon to date.

[@richardmcloughlin7621]

At least you mentioned a dungeon in the Zelda minish cap which was the temple of droplets which was one of my favourite ones to do in that game and one of the ones that I found the hardest to do but it still is an fantastic game to play. X

[@amirgarcia547]

Even if I feel like the Temple of Time in TP could have been here, I'm just entirely glad for #1

[@moritztheblueguy6343]

I loved the stone tower, but the boss was ........ yeh

[@batcaveloner1383]

Yep it had cool mini bosses like gomess and the garo master but two giant centipedes for a boss after a long ass awesome temple in a tower in a haunted land? Lol it should have been a scary sinister boss. Pretty anti climatic.

[@HerMi.T]

3ds version of bosses are very fun to fight. But yeah n64 version of boss fight is very lame.

[@zacharyjoy8724]

Ah, the Stone Tower of Termina. Where the rules of gravity go on vacation, and falling down means falling through the atmosphere and into space. Thank you, Nintendo.

[@unknownghostx]

Twinmold is the worst boss in Majora's Mask aside from Gyorg, they both got uninteresting designs, boring and repetitive fights. Odolwa, Goht and all Majora's forms are much better than them, especially Odolwa, great design, fun and challenging boss fight, just makes up for the best boss in Majora's Mask, and one of the best boss in any Zelda game imo. Edit: Actually Majora's Incarnation isn't that good, it literally has only one attack, and it just runs and dances, yeah, this one is the worst, here is my ranking: 7- Majora's Incarnation 6- Twinmold 5- Majora's Mask 4- Gyorg 3- Majora's Wrath 2- Goht 1- Odolwa

[@bluecane1756]

that weird room with that scary creature and those arms comming out of the ground scared the hell out of me when I was younger

[@normanwaterman9877]

Stone Tower Temple was my most favorite one in Majora's Mask. And the song theme for both the normal version and the upside down version were epic

[@magic713m]

Spirit Temple should've been on this list. I notice that this list seemed to have a lot of creepy dungeons on it. And why does Water Temple get honorable mentioned. It's so annoying and tedious.

[@billybob-bj3nw]

Water temples: Ocarina of Time = Easy Majoras mask = very hard

[@pockit5107]

+billy bob Nah the Water Temple in Majora's Mask is a joke compared to OoT's Water Temple. OoT's Water Temple is the only time I've ever been forced to go out and get a strategy guide for a Legend of Zelda game (since internet really wasn't a common commodity back in the 90's like it is now.)

[@Stonesands]

+Fred Harvey I think otherwise, the water temple is hard because of the key everyone has a hard time finding, raising the water level up and down is annoying but not difficult. Great Bay Temple is extremely confusing, the design is almost nonsense and those who want to catch all the fairies know how painful it is to run out of time.

[@lkjkhfggd]

+Fred Harvey Why? I never understood why people had trouble with that dungeon. Just go to the rooms you haven't gone to yet. Easy. You should try some of the dungeons in the Master Quest, I made it up to the spirit temple before I caved and looked up a guide online.

[@flamingoodness4923]

Majora's mask is my favorite Zelda game. The 3ds one specifically

[@samwesolowski7740]

+billy bob Majora's Mask overall was much harder than Ocarina of Time. You pretty much couldn't beat the game without a substantial amount of heart pieces (which I don't usually try to get in Zelda on my first playthrough). You always had to keep track of the 3-day cycle, and the dungeons were hard! I loved the Great Bay Temple, but the Water Temple is nothing compared to it. Also some of those minigames just made you want to rip your own face off and eat it, like the octorok shooting game. It was such an amazing game though! :)

[@PunkieTheGreat]

i was going to unfollow If they didn't pick anything from M.M. I'm satisfied. carry on.

[@woodysagan424]

perfect line-up!

[@davidm7847]

I totally agree on #1. That temple, plus the smart changes made in the new edition, puts Majora’s Mask 3D beyond OoT for me.

[@blinkshadown]

you better NOT make a top 10 caves in pokemon... but a top 10 WORST caves in pokemon is aceptable

#1 IS SPIRIT TEMPLE!!!!

Spirit temple from ocarina of time is probs my aal time fav! love the idea where you have to go as a kid and as and as an adult. And I love actually getting to the temple!

[@matithegammer]

My favourite dungeun is fire temple from Ocarina of Time

[@cptndunsel8088]

Augh...I friggan hated the earth temple. It was not interesting, switching between link and Medli was a pain, it had a lame boss, and getting through it felt like a chore.

[@mirkecWii]

Yeah I dont like it either,the tone was darkish but wasnt likable

[@happyh0ur888]

+david boell I don't know how it made it in. Wind temple was a little more unique. Even though it still had you switching between Link and Maker (I think that show you spell it)

[@jonasseorum5471]

I didn't really like it either but I I loved dragon roost island though very underrated

[@wolfensteinassassin2744]

The earth temple boss was a complete joke especially if you had the hurricane spin

[@emre9105]

ocarina of time is the game i will force my kids to play >:) ^^

I kind of figured that the #1 would either be the Spirit Temple from OOT or Stone Tower Temple from MM. Both of those were my favorites with Stone Tower Temple being #1 for me. Glad we agree.
