Poll: Favorite Ocarina of Time Dungeon

[Diligent]

There wasn't one that I hated, but I choose spirit temple for the layout, but forest temple gets a nod for its music.
I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but hearing that old midi music is still beautiful and haunting.

This thread is making me want to punch myself in the face for selling my copy of the game...

Does the deku tree count?

Friggin'... what was gohma anyway? scorpoclownspider?

 

[Ciran]

I've always loved the Spirit Temple, not just because of the scenery but the music is absolutely fantastic.

I love the Spirit Temple.

It was so much fun to play.
the Puzzles were Average, the Enemeys were Tricky(Damn Anubus, attacking when i have no MP), and the Boss.....oh man the Boss.

Twinrova is probably one of the funniest bosses iv ever fought in a Zelda Game.

Using the Mirror Shield to adsorb their Magic and Fire it back was a little Tricky at first but fun.
And the end where they argue as their Spirits move on was hilarious.
I wish you could have used the Mirror Shield like that more in the game.

Shadow Temple/Bottom of the Well are both 2ND.

They FREAKED ME OUT.

As a kid these were probably two of the scariest things iv ever seen, and now older they still fill me with Dread and Fear.
And a Little Paranoia because of the Invisible Enemys and Traps.

Couldn't have said it better myself. And yeah, those places creeped me out too. I used to love how Zelda games such as Ocarina and Majora had this family friendly look on the outside, and then this really dark undertone. Kind of like the works of Tim Burton or Roald Dahl. It's a pity the series seems to have lost that darker edge.

The two that I remember most are the Spirit temple and the water temple.

The water temple for its deep puzzles(Dark link xD) and general difficulty of moving around in that place. And the spirit temple for its massive build up(fix-bridge,all the gerudo stuff, work your way though dessert, have to come back at different points in time) and because Twinrova is one of the coolest bosses in the zelda universe. She's has a simple weakness but has so much character.

Spirit temple gets my vote.

Also, I just love the ancient temple theme it has.

The Water Temple duh! I just loved raising and lowering the water level and swapping out the iron boots and possibly getting stuck with no way to finish the game.

Seriously though, I loved the Spirit Temple. From fighting the Iron Knuckles to the mirror shield to having to do some parts as a kid, it was awesome. And it was a good challenge but it wasn't a impossibly rage-quit inducing temple. Second is the Fire Temple because I liked the Gorons and I liked the Megaton Hammer and the Bolero of Fire. And the rest of the order is:

The Well/Shadow-It's pretty creepy and I liked the idea of using the Lens of Truth and fighting invisible monsters
Water Temple- I know it should be last but the Shadow Link fight made up for it
Forest Temple-I never could actually finish it. A friend of mine always did it.

I love Majora's Mask for that reason.
It was Colorfull, REALLY Colorfull, and yet it had some of the most Twisted Characters and themes iv ever seen.
Majora's Mask Humself was utterly Psycho.
And don't get me started on the first time i put on a Transformation mask....that scream and look of Pain still gives me nightmares.

And as for the Darker Tones.
I kinda feel the same.

Wind Waker did get pretty dark though.
And the Final Boss?
Brutal, just Brutal.

I actually think styles like MM and WW have the greatest potential to be dark and actually effect us.
Dark game having Dark moments, you could probably see it coming so its not a huge deal.

Game like WW that has a light mood then suddenly goes down a road you would have never thought was possible, that will get ya.

The Shadow Temple no doubt. The atmosphere is perfect, the battles are some of the best in the game, the music is great, and Bongo-Bongo is one of the most entertaining boss fights in the game. Seriously can't wait to play it again on the 3DS.

 

[Captain_Coolio]

the water temple, no sarcasm, it was crazy. plus, dark link? go hammertime on him and fell like a sack of dead cats. not that i hate cats...

 

[knumpify]

the forest temple was by far my favourite. love the bow, the boss fight, it's really cool. I just freaking hate the pushing block puzzle for the last ghost. ooh, look, I just have to slide this last...one... FUCK, time's up, switch places.

 

[theevilone4]

Personally, something about the shadow temple (the concept of illusions and whatnot) makes it a clear standout, although the spirit temple isn't too far behind. Also, hover boots + moonwalking.

 

[TheTim]

i really enjoyed dodongo's cavern

 

[KarumaK]

The Water Temple,

It's a LEVEL that TROLLED people! Trolled them so hard to this day it brings screams to the dreams of those who faced it.

 

[Faenus]

Would have to be the bottom of the well/shadow temple, they were the first things that ever freaked me out to that degree as a child. dongo dongo (is that the bosses name?) still disturbs me

 

[bigredlyms]

I loved the great deku tree so much along with the race with dampe, even though its hard to call that one a dungeon. when i was playing it for the first time when i finally beat him after memorizing the path, (if i didn't have it memorized i would constantly run into his flames as i turned corners) i remember being so pumped when i got a hookshot. i had played links awakening first and thought the hookshot was the coolest weapon ever and was ecstatic to find out it was in OoT.
Loved the deku tree because i was so sad when it turned grey and died and also had one of the funniest minibosses ever IMO in the three deku scrubs. 2-3-1 twenty three is number one!

ps: the first time i tried on a transformation mask in MM i freaked out as well! i used to press C-down (my mask hot key) so fast to skip the cutscene

 

[Miles Tormani]

I actually liked the Water Temple as well. It made me think, and I feel clever every time I actually catch that hole in the ground opening when the water level rises in the center tower.

Also, the fight with Dark Link, as well as how the battle actually starts, was completely brilliant. I love fighting him the hard way.

 

[latenightapplepie]

The Forest Temple. For the creepiness, for the poe-hunting, for the weird elevator, the Wallmasters and the boss. Great stuff.

 

[Berserker119]

Dodongo's Cavern. It was pretty intense.
