Fuck that zone. Fuck Reverse Link. Fuck Morpha. And fuck that stupid final key that is possible to find. I hate that level and can never enjoy the game for what it is because of it. Some people think the Shadow Temple is harder because of Bongo Bongo. Some people think the Forest Temple is harder because of the poes. Bruh. Those temples are easy. Not only is the Water Temple more difficult than any level in Ocarina of Time, but it is the most difficult level in gaming history.

That's pretty absurd. I got lost in it as a kid cause of that key, but morpha and dark link are extremely easy fights.

It's more annoying than hard because of the boot switching.

The 3D version made things easier with the quick switch option.

Not gonna lie, kid me would have never figured out that you're supposed to use the hammer to beat dark link if I hadn't looked it up, I was just swinging wildly at him forever

As a kid, I got free hits with Din's Fire, then brute forced it.
As an adult, I always have the big goron sword before even doing the forest temple, so the fight is a joke.
Hearing people struggle with Dark Link is always weird to me. If you're not gonna be good at kombat (I sure wasn't), at least be decent at exploring/finding shit.

Also youNah. Its just tedious with the song playing and the boot swinging (also you can just look up where to go if you get lost).

Morphas kind of annoying, but not game-ruiningly so.

And do people really have a hard time with Bongo Bongo and the Poes? O___o

Dark link is my favorite fight in the game. I don't even cheese him with the Megaton hammer. I fight him fair and square with a sword

I honestly dont remember having trouble with the water temple.

Then again it could have been so traumatic that I am suppressing the painful memories so deep that if I uncovered even a fraction of them I would become a quivering mass on the floor crying in the fetal position in a puddle of my own filth, but I dont think that is the case.

The only thing that was really bad, and I fell for it the first time, is that there is a block near the start that you have to move before changing the water level. If you don't you get stuck an hour or two into the temple and have to ultimately reset the water level to its initial state to move the block and go through the temple a second time.

I just finished OOT on the Switch, and while the Water temple was my least favorite, that was purely because of having to constantly switch boots.

Great Bay is harder imo. Tower of the Gods is easy, the wind temple is the hard dungeon in that game.

The design of the Water Temple makes it one of my fav in the series. All you have to do is make sure you do everything you can before changing the water level each time. I think I had to change the level twice at each of the three locations when I beat it last month. Exploration is key in that dungeon.

Water Temple has 6 keys and you only need 4 to beat it. And no, I'm not counting any kind of glitches or anything. You can literally circumvent 2 keys in a casual setting. The most advanced "trick" you need to do is save warping.

I watched a friend of mine try this sequence over and over and over again for literally a week, every single day. He eventually got it, and then it was like a switch flipped and he got it every single time after that.

It's fascinating how video games interact with the human brain lol

Early or the first version only showed the platform rising and not showing the switch.

My emulated version shows it.

Not sure if it's 1-2 or 1-3 or whatever.

Chest/Trunk with the key..... I guess.

Been like years since I played it.

First versions showed the platform rising but didn't show what was under it.

But I'm old now and probably losing my mind.

Dark Link becomes a pushover when you realize that if you dont Z-target he can pretty much do jack shit. But he is a pain if you try to fight him conventionally.

Great Bay Temple is extremely linear. I never got the hullaballoo about its difficulty >_>

Weirdly, Wind Waker doesn't really have a water temple. Tower of the Gods is closest, I guess, but it's mostly not water.

The first time I did the Water Temple as a kid, I didn't unfreeze King Zora or buy the blue tunic in the shop so I did the whole thing on an oxygen timer.

IIRC you get 14 seconds of air per heart. I had like...an minute and a half, I think, maybe more, to do anything underwater.

Since then it's never seemed that hard.
