Was the water temple in Ocarina of Time really that difficult?

It was hard when I was 5 and didn't know my left from my right and I had the attention span of a pile of dirt so I often forgot where I just came from 10 seconds ago, but now it's just tedious, like everyone else says.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought the Water Temple wasn't particularly difficult. I had begun to wonder if I had just forgotten how hard it was when I first played the game, but after playing OOT again on my N64(for the first time in nearly 10 years) it honestly wasn't that difficult, just annoying and kinda boring.
The only part the got me stuck was that I didn't notice that when you raised the water level, that block in the central column floats up to the current water level. But that's my fault for not noticing that(Zelda Rule #1: Always keep an eye out for anything that looks like it can be moved in any way shape or form).

Whoops, looks like I got confused. I mixed up Jabu-Jabu and the Water Temple. Not sure how.Yopaz said:
It was only frustrating on my part because I didn't notice the path hidden behind the treasure chest after defeating Dark Link until I came back a few days later. Other than that, lowering/raising the water level made me do a bit more critical thinking.
Its always that one key I miss every time I play through OoT that makes the Water Temple a *****. Even if I remember where one of the hidden keys is I somehow forget where another one is so I get all the way up to right before Shadow Link and then I have to turn around. Thats the only frustration I have with it its not immpossiblely difficult, but it can be tricky.
well i am 14 i started trying when i was 10 T_T then again i only play it every once in a while but i have herd that the water temple is hard i am almost positive that it will not be as hard as everyone says the rest of the game is not that hard (look who is talking) its just confusing where to go sometime especial when you are not that attentive
yes that should awnser it all but yea it took the longest of all the temples so it was the hardest but it is aopinion thing.
A little time consuming and riddled with backtracking, yes. Difficult? Not at all. But maybe I'm biased, water is my favorite element.
First time I missed a key and got stuck
Second time Dark Link kicked my ass
Third time I didn't move the block in the main room and got lost backtracking putting the water level back
...Oh, and a Like Like ate my shield each time
In summary, It's annoying as hell but people do blow it out of proportion.

to certain age groups it can be nearly impossible. back in the day i was almost one such person, but now its just "bleh, im bored with this place", but it was just time consuming if you didn't use your head. thats all.
I didn't beat the game when I was younger because of the Water Temple... Couldn't figure out where the hell I was supposed to go for like 3 weeks straight. Tried to play it after school then just gave up and started playing Perfect Dark with my friends again.
The shadow temple is about 5x harder then the water temple, I personally had no trouble with the water temple, because I had watched my brother beat it on his file (therefore I knew what to do)Kimarous said:
I got to the shadow temple before him though, so I showed him how to do it. Its not cheating...
Haha, I've actually just got to the Water Temple playing on the 3DS.
And yeah, it's kinda irritating.
I think I'm going to have to refer to a walkthrough, because I'm a bit of a slacker...
