Ruto is best girl.

[@Real_Metagross]

Honestly the the reason throw her towards it's just because of her attitude, her attitude is reasonable, but I was just a kid the time I was playing and was immature, so that the only thing I would do

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

Temple of the Ocean King gave me such anxiety when I was a kid that my heart-rate still speeds up just from seeing those Phantom armours.

[@RosteezHD]

and those invisible bird reapers too

[@HexMan-HM03]

What I hate about the Temple of the ocean king is when your hourglass, you gotta keep it in check when you leave a safe zone. So tedious.

[@qunt100]

I remember being on one of the last couple of floors in the dungeon one time, and i was out of time, and out of life as well. Instead of losing instantly like in majoras mask when the timer hits zero, your health just drains. If i had dies, i would have had to restart like 5 or 6 floors earlier. I was almost at the checkpoint. Basically i strategized and found enough safe zones, and then there was this room that i exited and reentered with 2 pots with hearts in them. I just did that for the final floor untill i had a full life guage again. I hadn't had that much trouble in a zelda game since majoras mask. I died a couple times in the great bay temple, and a couple in stone tower temple as well. It was stressful anxiety filled, but it felt so good once i reached the final floor and got extra hourglass time again. Phantom hourglass it sucked for rolling as well. Swiping the screen isn't as easy as it looks.

[@heroofthewinds7765]

The silent realms from Skyward Sword stressed me out so much I could actually hear my heart beating it was moving so fast from anxiety.

3DS version is much better for 3 reasons: 1. Boots are an item slot rather than a gear slot 2. When you raise the water to the 2nd level a small cutscene shows you the block floating up to reveal a key room (that cutscene wasn't in the original) 3. The areas that change the water level are marked so you know where to go if you know what to do

[@michaelknoll8435]

+Daniel Harris I'm completely the opposite - The Temple of the Ocean King killed all re-playability of Phantom Hourglass for me. The main issue for me is the time mechanic as I have never liked that sort of thing in any game. Each to their own but I am the type of player who loves to explore and actually enjoys grinding so a time mechanic in a game, especially one as central as in Phantom Hourglass always makes me feel rushed. For that reason I much prefer Spirit Tracks as they still have that central temple but with no time element. It's cool that you enjoy it though as one of the main points of any good video game is to entertain the player.

"Who was the poor soul who wrote out an entire map of his digestive tract?" Probably the best quote from TheJWittz ever.

[@HTFFanOfFlaky]

What if Ruto wrote it and put it in the chest because paper + stomach acid = wad of paste? Also, that isn't water. It's stomach acid. Ruto drowned because acid got in her gills, an event that fish have even less control over than humans. A human can just hold his breath and get out, cleaning the acid off and surviving with nothing missing but their skin and clothes. Basically they'd look like a Titan, but they wouldn't die. Blindness is probably going to happen though. We don't have the most durable eyelids. They are literally just two sheets made of skin with hair on the bottom. A Zora would have the acid burn their gills, because they don't have a choice whether they breathe it in. Her respiratory system was destroyed.

[@linderosse_yt]

I have to agree with most of your list, but I must say, the Temple of the Ocean King was actually one of my favorites as a kid. I've always enjoyed the stealth mechanic though, and I didn't really find the hourglass to be much of a problem; in fact, when it runs out, you can still survive for a decent amount of time by just sticking to the safe zones as much as possible and drinking life potions. The reason I really loved this temple though is the amount of thought they put into the level design. The shortcuts when you're revisiting old levels are really well thought out, and it was incredibly fun playing through a level you don't need to learn the layout of (because you've already seen it the first time you played it), and suddenly realizing that you can now hit a particular switch, or uncover a wind spout, or even hook together two torches and slingshot yourself onto a hidden ledge, in order to rocket through those levels. Sure, sometimes it was a bit of a chore, but I feel like that can be said about any temple in any game. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but I just had to share mine. Great video, though!

I never really understood all the stuff about the water temple. I played it for the first time about 10 years ago- when I was 12- and I beat it pretty easily. If I had an n64 when I was about 5 and tried it, I definitely would not be able to do it, though. It's definitely one of the harder dungeons in the game and if you're playing it as a kid then it's probably going to give you a hard time, but if you're an adult or even a teenager I don't see how it could give you a lot of trouble.

[@brittanymorin121]

You do understand that not all the complaints are focused on the difficulty of the dungeon? I mean the pausing and unpausing in the original to put the boots on was so redundant. Also, happening to miss one key doesn’t really make the dungeon “hard”. More just another annoyance when you’re always backtracking. Although, this isn’t the only dungeon that back tracking is a thing. Idk just saying someone not liking the water temple doesn’t automatically mean it was “too hard”.

[@ryan20028]

As a person who 100% completed that game and spirit tracks I gotta admit that spirit tracks did it better

[@ninajansen9764]

"However it is just isnt my favorite that honor goes to" *Ad plays*

[@benshallicker8793]

since phantom hourglass was my first game, i’ve played it about 30 times and one of my favourite parts is the temple of the ocean king. mainly because i know how to do everything within 10 minutes and know where all the hidden items are, but it brings back so many memories

[@sirskaro3581]

Holy crap, the Pooh reference SLAYED me!

[@austinmartin2927]

SAME!!!!!!

[@winniepayne1471]

Sir Skaro same because my name that I use is Winnie because my true first name is a girl and boy name combined

[@geekbyhart1004]

Nope. You got it. Your #1 was DEAD accurate. That's also why I didn't finish skyward sword for the same reason for that boss, ugh.

[@mangcrow5738]

i loved the water temple. it had me constantly evaluating what i learn throughout the dungeon and solving puzzles like most zelda dungeons are designed to make you do.

[@goredmariopizza8538]

Same. The layout was unique, the puzzles were fun, and the minni boss was amazing. The only bad part is the boss.

[@flipflop356]

Bro the forsaken fortress was my favorite part about wind waker. Wind waker was like my first zelda game when I was younger. It's probably still one of my favorite zelda games. I could only get to the plant boss thing with the tentacles at the deku tree but the forsaken fortress was awesome to me

[@IRON1I7]

so i guess A Link to the Past is perfect

[@DrCorndog1]

IRON1I7 Was there any doubt?

[@IRON1I7]

Dr. Corndog of course not

[@justanothergamer9570]

Link Between Worlds isn't represented here either. And it is an improvement on Link to the Past. So Link to the Past can't be perfect.

[@justanothergamer9570]

You're right. It is a completely different (better in almost every way) game.

[@jacobmonks3722]

Skull Woods sucked for me. Having an extremely vague idea of which entrance led to where and having to keep going through the same rooms over and over until you just so happen to fall in the right hole. I've played through the game easily 5 times and the dungeon still gives me issues.

[@ChaoticSerenity]

Hmm, I actually thought the Great Bay Temple had pretty good flow. The worst of the backtracking is to reverse the water flow, which makes it a clever precursor to the next one (a temple rearranged horizontally leads to one manipulated vertically). Snowpeak was the one that struck me as tedious. Continuously climbing up and down that thing was a pain, especially if you fell at any point.

[@minatoarisatofrompersona3440]

[@nidohime6233]

[@noaedlund]

come out moon, come out wishing star, come out, come out, wherever you are

[@hannahreading6175]

Same here

[@Kenta455]

The tower of spirits is the worst dungeon, entirely because of the last set of floors you have to tackle to get the compass of light. You have to constantly go back and forth between several floors possessing different phantom types and taking them all the way back to we’re you were earlier, and then the later section has you constantly switching phantoms and moving between three different sections to finish all the puzzles, and it was just a huge pain, especially since the puzzles in that last section require constant coordination between link and the Zelda phantom simultaneously. Honestly always thought the griping about the ocean palace was overblown. I enjoy being able to unlock new hidden items and shortcuts upon returning, and aside from the floors where you have to gather force gems, they usually go by pretty quickly on return visits. And you can unlock a warp to skip the early floors entirely after a point. And if you are good at the dungeon and have managed your time well, you can get the third and fourth ocean maps in the same visit, and cut things down more

[@GreenLegion]

#1 everything in the cdi games.

[@bladeshifter16]

We don’t talk about those...

[@meliathemuffin7416]

I actualy like forsaken fortress ;-;

Oh, god yes, Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly form OoA is the worst water dungeon...!

[@lyriffs6924]

[@savalsaras4250]

TheOwnersOfTriforce Seems like one of the most straightforward in the game imo

[@Tom-xs3ks]

It frightened me as a kid...it still does

[@Bull-me8tz]

I'm currently playing Ocarina of Time for the first time and I hate that dungeon. I love the game but I hate that dungeon. It makes me not want to continue, and I'm just frustrated

[@rawrrosalina208]

I personally liked the oracle of ages version

[@husklyman]

11:52 You really forgot to mention the "upgrade" to your swimming suit that removes your abillity to move while swimming without mashing the b button continuesly

[@finn_underwood]

Perhaps it was because I love Spirit Tracks and had played it three times through before I picked up Phantom Hourglass, but I didn't really have an issue with the Temple of the Ocean King. I'm not saying I enjoyed it much, but I was pretty indifferent through it.

[@uwuchildofdoom4208]

I really love spirit tracks and I had no issue with the Temple of the Ocean King too!

[@charizard1802]

But... I liked temple of the ocean king. I thought it was nice.

[@charizard1802]

No I completely understand. I just wanted to state that I actually liked that temple.

[@mikkuli1]

Phantom Hourglass was my first Zelda game. I love everything about it, even this dungeon. I knew basically no English and so did my brother. So we had to figure out how to stop time in the Bellum fight. Fondest memory :)

[@huzzabuzatrolol]

I am not a big zelda fan myself. I have only forced myself to play through a few of the games, my favorites of which being phantom hourglass and spirit tracks, with my favorite parts of those games being ocean king temple and the tower from spirit tracks

[@SupeRey49]

I hated that dungeon so bad

[@jessejisk9918]

fat

[@supermario_bueno]

simply loved the "Who wants to play it fifty times more?" part hahaha

[@ruaridhnewton2026]

I actually really liked the great bay temple! It’s the snowhead dungeon that I really hate. It was just always too difficult for me

[@stephantom8237]

Weird, I always found Snowhead so much more intuitive. Plus, rolling around as a Goron is fun.

[@rustynail7796]

I found goron rolling so hard (I'm also just bad as I said in a separate comment) but otherwise I liked it, and I loved the fight

[@christzanis3325]

Eh me geeerd water temple No. 1 worst zelda dungeon evaar. ~someone who has only played Ocarina of Time.

I really pass some tough times at Zora's Temple in Twilight Princess... But maybe I'm just stupid xD

[@sorikaiwolf8955]

It always gets confusing for me too every time I replay it so it’s not just you especially in the main room with the staircase you move around that always gets me disoriented

[@stupidbandkid741]

Literally no one- Me- the water temple isn't that bad

[@cyanblue7749]

Imma stop you right there!

[@humzakhan30]

Yeah you’re right, i really like it

[@avrahamr.2412]

I loved the water temple in OoT 3D when you were able to use the iron boots by shortcut.

[@humzakhan30]

Avi R. Yeah they improved it in 3D but even then i was never annoyed by the original

[@humzakhan30]

Avi R. Thought it was pretty good level design

[@asdfghjkl2261]

I feel like Eagle's Tower/D7 is worse than T Rock (and also much more likely to lock you out of completing the game back in the day), and I've never understood the hate for Jabu in Oracle of Ages. It's like Water Temple, but much, much smaller and less tedious to navigate since 2D space is inherently more compact than 3D.

[@redclover8387]

Dude that winnie the pooh refference at 10:47 , my childhood came back to haunt me! *huddled in corner*

that's nothing in comparation to water temple

That is 90% of my experience with Snowpeak in Majora's Mask. Constantly flying off the edge if you hit it at the wrong angle on those bridges you have to jump across.

[@ellobodehielo]

Favorite: Hyrule castle from Twilight Princess (athmosphere does it for me) Least favorite: Zelda 2: Links Adventure, in its entirety

[@Pharomid]

I disagree with the forsaken fortress. One of the best dungeons IMO cuz of how unique it is. Being sneaky and different ways to combat the dungeon make it fun. Just a fun atmosphere rather than your average temples that are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring.

[@homerunhitter1653]

Sliq Yes, but you move SOOOOO slow it made me hate it.

[@qwert635yuiop9]

It might be a cool dungeon but the fact that you lose your sword a few minutes after you get it makes it frustrating it could've been better if it took place before you get your sword

[@davidpearlman4644]

I only first tried WW last year, if that level hadn't existed I may have continued on in the game. I got past it, but thought "If this whole game is like this there's no way I'm going to enjoy it." Although it gets better, my patience was worn thin, and I could only see the bad parts of the game. It's the only Zelda game I've ever stopped playing, and I've played more than half of them.

[@carolinedevlin2446]

Oh dear God, PLEASE let the Water Temple from Ocarina of Time be number 1!

[@agc2757]

In OOT The Fire temple is worse than the Water temple by a *Huge* margin

[@JordanStar7]

A Ginger Cat I agree wholly. Fire temple was overly complicated and confusing for no reason, for me personally. Water temple was easier for me to solve and get around.

[@theeternalslayer]

I actually liked all of the dungeons in ocarina of time. Unpopular opinion I liked the great bay temple in majoras mask lol. I would put most if not all the divine beasts from breath of the wild, needed more in my opinion to be considered great by zelda standard.

[@xdress1746]

I'm actually disappointed with the placement of TotOK on this list. It's an extremely well designed dungeon, one of the best in the series. Each time you trek through the temple, you get better at traversing it, finding new paths and ways to use the items you've collected along your adventure. One of my favorite challenges is beating it with full time, which, while not an impossible feat, requires decent knowledge of the many shortcuts and item usage within the temple.

[@MaeriberiiUsami]

I enjoyed Ocean King. I would replay it all the time for no particular reason.

[@venkelos6996]

This was a fun video, and while some might not enjoy focusing on the low points of otherwise great games, I personally feel that these are often a shared experience that many if us can rally around; we also struggled there. I was personally curious how far back you would count. I'm an 80s kid, and I've been playing Zelda since before it was a series, bur I know a lot of 20s something content creators haven't played those oldest games, don't want to now, or don't feel they are similar enough to "current" Zelda trends that they need to be included; muskets were a thing, and we wouldn't have e modern firearms without them, and they do have some fans, but they rarely feature in "best guns" or "favorite firearms" videos, so I'm glad to see you were willing to include the oldies. It's also nice that it wasn't just AoL because you might think that game sucks, or is the worst. Personally, I have nostalgia for Adventure of Link, and I HATE Skyward Sword, so it can be funny to watch videos by people who maybe haven't even played Twilight Princess, or Link to the Past, and just rag on AoL because it is old, and so different. I've rambled enough. This was a fun video, and thanks for taking the time.

[@whatareyoudoinghere1431]

Why do people keep calling me No One? I love the Water Temple

[@DAgamon21]

Zelda: level 8 Zelda II: all of them LTTP: ice palace Oracle of ages: jabu jabus belly Oracle of seasons: unicorn cave. Those are just a few of mine.

[@elephant35e]

Zelda: I agree about level 8, for both quest I and II. Zelda II: agreed. LTTP: I actually enjoyed the Ice Palace. OoA: I didn't hate this dungeon, but I didn't really like it either. OoS: I think I enjoyed the unicorn cave.

[@Ahrigore]

I personally LOVE Phantom Hourglass Ocean king temple but I am also fairly biased as that was my first Zelda game.

[@SombreroPharoah]

OoA Jabus Belly was amazing! I loved that for the challenge it gave. The Oracle games are tbh up in my favourites.

I loved the stealth section in OoT (the one where you sneak past the castle guards) and the part in BotW where you tail the korok dude.

[@galaxylucario9261]

What do you know........no skyward sword dungeons!

[@Zanguinem]

Skyward Sword had pretty good dungeons in my opinion

[@jacobmonks3722]

Fernando Flores It's everything between the dungeons that's just meh. The dungeons were mostly good, but Sky Keep sucked.

[@cheezybred7770]

No Sky Keep

[@verethragnarok]

to be honest, the dungeons in skyward sword were fun and inventive, and it was clear WHERE you needed to go... the rest of skyward sword and its mechanics were obnoxious.

[@Pyrax99]

maybe because Skyward Sword had probably the best dungeon designs imo i loved every single second of the lanayru mining facility and it just made me wish of a way to turn the entire province of lanayru back to its original state

Great Bay Temple is unironically my favourite dungeon ever

[@jaedenbaker4611]

For me stone tower is better

[@Datboy1991]

It wouldn’t be my number one choice, but I do enjoy it very much

[@darkmetaknight9263]

Carl Ragsdale I think stone tower is the best in majoras mask

[@rahalmulet1220]

Ironic, the most hated dungeon, (Water Temple) houses the most Beloved Mini-Boss (Dark Link)

[@taekwondude7289]

Sadly I played majoras mask and Oot on my 3ds and I made it to great bay and water temple, I beat them both but my game crashed on both of them and I had to restart them. OOF

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Other then not minding Turtle Rock, liking Great Bay, not having reached Jabu-Jabu (Ages) yet and never bothering with PH, its a good list and I agree.

[@tsukinoakuma]

I like to think that the map of Jabu Jabu's belly is Ruto's biology homework.

[@grabenmantel7745]

Currently replaying Majora's Mask and I gotta say, Great Bay Temple is really underrated imo. The mechanic of reversing the flow of water was super straightforward as soon as you enter the dungeon. And you don't have to do a lot of back tracking to change the flow. Once you gain the ability, if you do have to back track, all you have to do is go back to the first room, which is connected to the water flow room with the branching paths, and switch it. So it's not like you have to go to multiple rooms or sections of the dungeon to do it. Also, as long as you're looking for the stray fairies, I didn't think most of them were hard to find and I didn't end up having to reroute the flow of water once. I also really love how the color-coded pipes lead you through the dungeon. I didn't get lost even once despite it having been years since I played through this game. To add to all that, I really loved the big eye mini-boss. Super fun to face off and actually mildly challenging considering it's just a mini-boss. Though I will say, I didn't care for the main boss at the end of the dungeon. Still, I feel this dungeon gets a lot of hate because people compare it to the Water Temple in OOT so much, but I found that Great Bay Temple was way easier to get through, and fun at that. But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions and this is a great video. I'm not in any way trying to disregard anyone else's feelings, this is just my take based on my current playthrough. P.S. the music absolutely SLAPS lol
