As a kid, I was stuck on this level and kept coming back for days. One day I get a knock at the door and its a guy selling video game magazine subscriptions. We discussed Zelda 64 and when I brought up the fact that I had been stuck on the Water Temple, he actually gave me solid advice and I beat it that very day. And bought a year's worth of EGM subscriptions. ;)

[@Lonnie3538]

[@GabrielMoreiraHylian]

+wwwwario For me it's one of the least memorable songs in the game, if not the least one, and there are a lot of amazing songs in OoT.. I don't think it has anything to do with the temple being hard or not, because I never found it thaaat hard, It just don't strike me as a great tune, unlike the ones from the other temples, I can remember all of them but this one.. It's kinda boring. Well, to each his own.

[@triplewario]

Gabriel Moreira Each of us have our own opinions, and I respect yours and think it's fun that we think differently :D It's weird, because I find this to be the most memorable one xD

[@GabrielMoreiraHylian]

wwwwario Haha yes yes I also respect yours and is nice to see the vast point of views out there! Well, I gotta say when I saw this video in my suggestions I was like "What? What's the Water Temple tune? I can't remember.." and you see, I remember all the others, I guess I remember every song from this game (even the shop theme, which I find incredibly annoying xD ) but this one just vanished.. I guess my thing with this song is, I mean, think about the Forest one - omg outstanding, unforgettable; shadow - creepy, haunting, Spirit - just beautiful, so unique. Fire - This one is just top-notch, is haunting in a very special way with the Islamic Chant, all that controversy towards it just made it even better lol But this one.. thinking about it now I gotta say it does seems to match the temple, with the watery sounds, etc, but in comparison with the others it just sounds to simple to me... I try to love it but.. I just can't lol. Anyway, Koji Kondo is the King of VGM and we should all be thankful for his life! xD

[@angelofdeath275]

The design is genius. If it was designed with the intent to confuse the heck outta you, it worked on millions of us

[@PlayfulFruitLPer]

this temple is so mysterious, more so than the others in my opinion. The mirage room where link fights his shadowy reflection, the winding room with all the watery whirlpools that suck you down into the unknown abysses, the watery voids of endless water. This temple is so disconnected from the rest of Hyrule I feel like it has so many secrets.

[@auraweiss638]

It's also the deepest we go under the ground. Goronia is in a cave but that's still high up in the mountains. The shadow temple also goes deep but starts higher up in kakariko. Water already has its highest point at the bottom of a lake and then goes deeper and deeper...

[@SlimFit-ye1yc]

I would say shadow and water are almost the same height under the ground, but probably you are right. To think you fight bongobongo that deep under the ground on a place layered by blood and a torture past is mesmerizing... Nintendo is a coward by no explaining what temples, their true origins and purpose were

oh yes, raise water level, lower water level, retrace steps, it's more tedious then hard. what i found hard was the shadow temple BEFORE finding out i needed the lens of truth, in other words, almost 2/3 of the dungeon via trial and error during a blind run back in '98.

[@MrIkana]

But you have to have the Lens to enter...

[@ZoruaZorroark]

i looked it up, no, the lens of truth is optional, but it makes the shadow temple MUCH easier. and like i said, i completed most of the dungeon the hard way via trial and error before grabbing the lens of truth.

and one needs the fireball spell to enter the front door

Weird. When I came in, after the fire spell area, there was a wall that wouldn't let me pass without the Lens.

[@jamesmarley687]

I feel as if OoT 3D has shown that this dungeons is actually pretty cool when you don't have to keep entering the menu to equip iron boots. its the perfect difficult for that stage of the game as the 3rd adult dungeon

[@wareforcoin5780]

I found the constant menu entering less terrible than the fact that I couldn't find a key in order to progress. When I first played the game, I suddenly was faced with the concept that I might have to worry about where I use my keys, because I was convinced there wasn't enough. I obviously found it, (it was in a room at the very bottom of the temple) but that anxiety that filled me when I thought I might have to lose hours of gameplay somehow and restart the temple was much worse than entering the menu screen a thousand times a minute.

[@m4r_art]

It takes a very special person to understand the psychology of the water temple. As a child I was stuck for almost 7 months without progress and played PS1 games because I couldn't figure out once you raised the water level that you could use the boots to sink Link in the smaller room. It simply didn't occur to me and most printed guides were short and led you into the game up until Link becomes an adult. You wouldn't often have the internet on computers until 2002. So really most kids were relying on those printed guides. It taught you patience and to think by yourself. Nowadays you just open KZbin, scroll the time in the video up to where you're stuck and go on with your endeavors. Again this tune is mystical and explicitly tells you one thing: go take a break, or go read a guide. Because bro unless it's 2002 wait another 4 years to read the first available internet guides. Kids these days will never know how that felt. So many things are taken for granted these days...

I've been playing this game since 2002 and have not gotten tired of it yet! Out of ALL the zelda games I've played, Ocarina of time has the best themes and the Water Temple's music is really one-of-a-kind!!! It has mysterious features with the stringed instruments and the middle-eastern theme. The temple itself offers a glimpse into Eastern architecture and resembles many Asian features down to the coffered ceilings and artwork!! The replay value for this game is out of the atmosphere!!! It's a shame that Zoras' Domain does not unfreeze when you complete the ice level! Enjoy!!! And cheers!!!

[@PhillyPugilist]

I like this song but i hated the water Temple after a months of getting stuck on it lol. I miss it though as well as the entire game. Just downloaded this song on my iPod too. Anyway, they should do a remake of the game for the Wii. Just update the graphics and add a little more stuff and its good to good. Oh and keep Link's voice and sound effects from the original Ocarina Of Time instead of making new ones. WHat do you think? We should get a petition going.

Underrated dungeon. IMO this is one of the best dungeons in the entire game. Just behind Forest Temple, this is my favorite dungeon in OOT.

[@Falkuzrules]

Replaying Ocarina for the first time in years, I went into the Water Temple and the only three difficulties I had were: 1. the game being N64-y at me (Shell Blades need a very specific angle for the hookshot to work, and it kept not letting me do the instant spin attack) 2. I got a key and forgot which door was locked so I just had to go ahead and check three areas real quick 3. Morpha is the most broken boss I've ever seen in Zelda. The nucleus would ALWAYS either instantly jump back into the water or deal damage to me whenever I hookshot it. If I went near a tentacle *after* avoiding its initial attack, or even if it just decided to move in a certain way on the way back down, it would get me anyway. I used two fairies on Dark Link because I decided not to use tricks to beat him, and then I got two more fairies in the dungeon and used them on Morpha and thought even that wouldn't be enough, he has to have like 40 hearts. And you wanna know the craziest thing? In my last playthrough of this game, I was using a bad emulator... the pause screen would take more than 10 full seconds to appear. And I didn't mind it at all. Is this perhaps how it feels to have *patience?*

The menu slowness is the only thing that the designer actually apologized for, as far as I know. One thing I noticed though... The menu seemed to come up faster on my n64 than it ever did in any emulator I watched on KZbin.

Yeah as I kid it never occurred going into the menu to equip and remove boots to be a hassle. At the time it was just a cool feature to see link’s clothes change. Hell I’d just sit in the menu sometimes and look at songs and or items I collected lol, I miss that sense of wonder.

I heard this for way longer than just 10 hours over a decade ago when I played Ocarina of Time. I only came here because I keep hearing it play in my head over and over almost perfectly over a decade on.

[@mak7eye]

Rumor has it, Ppl are still in the water temple

[@samiaboutouchent6841]

It's just my favorite temple I didn't spend most than 2 hours in love on u water temple ❤❤

[@VTLoki]

I actually love this temple.. It's my favourite~ And the music is so soothing ^-^

[@MasDouc]

I don't understand why the Water Temple is so hated, easily the best dungeon in the entire game. It's not as hard as everyone makes believe it is.

[@watertemple8879]

Thank you, sir! I am THE BEST EVAAAA

[@Dingalow]

That is, of course, if you ever checked a guide. Otherwise you're fucked. HOW WAS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WAS A ROOM BELOW THAT ONE RISING PLATFORM IN THE CENTER OF THE DUNGEON!? GGRRRRR

[@KyleCashGames]

***** It's easy, the cutscene makes you see it.

[@Dingalow]

KyleCashGames ...in the 3D version

[@KyleCashGames]

No, in the N64 Version.

[@djgrizzly9353]

Hot take: I think this is one of, if not, the best dungeon in the game. Simply for how well designed the puzzles are, and how open temple feels. Was it hard? Yes of course. But at its core, this is a very well designed dungeon

[@ZeldaFanGirl87]

I think this temple and the forest temple are tied for having my favorite architecture in the game. I also love their music.

[@darthjump]

I can´t be the only one who actualy likes this temple, especially because of Dark Link.

[@Newcras]

I know this is a stupid question, but where does all the light come from in this place? There's very few torches and the whole thing's underground. It should be extremely dark everywhere...

[@katzea.a7880]

Newcras This is zelda, everything is possible in zelda

[@debilotnik]

Newcras Best guess, the temple could be made of phosphorescent stones.

[@Tsumami__]

Well isn't that every temple/dungeon in Zelda? Should all of them be devoid of light, save death mountain since its a friggin active volcano

[@Littleandr0idman]

Apparently I'm the only person who had no issues with this

[@FernDownForWhat]

You are not alone. I think the hardest dungeon ever is Stone Tower.

[@Jun13-8]

me too the only temple i had trouble with is the forest temple.

[@Ionosomeguy]

This was not bad of a temple. I think it's more of an annoyance than being difficult. You gotta keep putting and taking off the damn iron boots every couple of minutes. It wouldn't be so annoying if you can quick slot it into a "C" button, but nope! The water temple from Majoras was fucking hell though. Stone Temple was also confusing.

[@ZANBA_MYON]

I agree with Santiago concerning the water temple, but I also loved the great bay temple and the stone tower temple from majoras mask. Eventhough they were confusing, I still keep smiling when thinking of playing though these, the music and the atmosphere just made the experience perfect

[@Boomblox5896]

Well, when I first played this game, I was wondering why I was taking so long in that dungeon. I guess it wasn't just me when I got the news flash a few years ago that the whole fanbase hated it.

[@Legend1Man]

Imagine dreaming about this whole board. This gotta be the worst exciting vivid experience of all time lol

[@youngarnold4]

I could imagine that is how long some people actually had to listen to this going through that temple. Trying to remember where you had been, while raising and lowering the water level was absolutely maddening.

[@Levi-qm5cg]

Why is 6:12:00 replayed so much??🤣

[@gameplaysdetodo354]

i think the same xd

[@daanioo4031]

That key in the room under the raising platform had me stuck for over a year. As frustrating (and tedious due to the Iron Boots) the Water Temple was, it’s the most well designed and complex temple in the game. I love it as an adult. It’s a shame they reduced the difficulty in the DS version. By having the Iron Boots being used as an item the eliminated the whole problem with pausing the game over and over. They shouldn’t have added the colors to the different paths. Even worse though is the camera zooming in on the opening when the platform rises with the water in the central room. That spoils the puzzle with that key by solving it for the player.

[@patrickthomason3427]

Why does "most" people HATE the water temple out of all the temple's honestly I liked the water temple as a kid

[@patrickthomason3427]

It wasn't even hard to beat

[@debilotnik]

Patrick Thomason IMO, the Great Bay Temple in MM was way harder.

[@Lonnie3538]

@@patrickthomason3427 it's not really a hard temple but to most it's so confusing . Now even I got confused but things you fight there ain't to bad.

[@Lonnie3538]

@@debilotnik Well to me both equally confusing but majora mask even harder with a timer .

[@Blancoppz]

Koji kondo discovers and gives us a very skillful way of honoring our past antecedents (Mesopotamia, Persian, Akkadian, Egypt, Greece), without a doubt the mystique of the human being throughout history made us investigate the arts, the greatest of the virtues of our spirit, feel connected and grateful. This music is a strange but indulgent way to remind ourselves, who we went and where we will go.

[@evanglicanism]

Memories of friends' laughter, 1 am delirium, and the hum of summer cicadas while you try to fit the pieces of the puzzle together.

[@WarioWill]

I just want to go swim in the water temple

[@SupraMayro6455]

I doubt doing that. I mean, there's Blue Tektikes everywhere! Also, there's spikes.

[@SupraMayro6455]

***** I guess. :/

[@Tsumami__]

With tektites?

[@SupraMayro6455]

Weary Link Suit yourself. :P

[@SupraMayro6455]

Weary Link I have not. ._.

[@mank7230]

The Water Temple isn't *nearly* as hard as people make it out to be.

[@danielmebus671]

Epic Manky Agreed. Try Bottom of the Well on Master Quest, you'll cry

[@mank7230]

Daniel Mebus I...already completed Master Quest numerous times...

[@danielmebus671]

Same, but it was extremely difficult. The switches in the eyes?

[@Donkey_Lips]

Epic Manky Great Bay in Majora's Mask makes this temple as hard as diving for the silver scales.

[@leyendax10]

I remember it took me like 2 or 3 hours the first time, is that good or not? I don't really hate it as many people seem to

[@punkmania91]

Ahhh, my least favorite temple in the game, but my favorite dungeon music...all those boot changes made me want to punch someone in the ovaries...but still my favorite game.

[@JasonDropEmOff_]

You're unlucky. Thanks to me being born in the early 2000's I was able to beat this AMAZING temple on my 3ds and didnt have to swap out because the boots were an item. Furthermore this temple in my opinion is the second best first being forest.

[@zigzack54]

Can't even tell you how much I freaking love this game...

[@adellyxp454]

Who the fuck is here to hear this for another 10 hours!? I’m getting nauseous that damn flute lmao

[@gascougascounizat8961]

This temple was my favorite ! Strangely, it was the one that I succeed the easier 🤔🤔

[@user197]

Imma take a bath now, I'll just leave this music on .. there .. ahhhhh ..

[@xALTIMETERx]

This isn't even the entire song, why would you only loop part of it?

[@nothingforgrantedPS23]

First memory of Zelda. I borrowed the game from my brother, loaded his file named "Chaos." Lake Hylia is drained and Link has the blue tunic on. 😂

[@fustiancorduroy]

I never thought the Water Temple was too hard. It was actually one of my favorite temples in the game.
