What's the hardest Zelda dungeon you've ever beaten? Let us know in the comments! Click here for more Zelda videos like this one: ua-cam.com/play/PLCXa2CCtHXq2rf_GV6DPLSCZxS9sNWLHJ.html
If the bird enemies in the final palace of Zelda II seen at 20:08 are called Fokkas, and the bird knights at 19:58 are called Fokka knights, then I guess that the giant bird boss seen at 20:17 is called the Mother Fokka. A big Mother Fokka at that.
If you aren't prepared and "grind" stuffs and money, plus not knowing the hidden locations for bonus ruppies and Hearts, You're fucked at the 2nd half. However, the Death Mountain in the 2nd run is a bit easier than the 1st one...
While I’d say I had the same frustration with the Water Temple as a kid, I’d say Forest Temple or Shadow Temple were more challenging or difficult. I believe we all just missed the platform that raised in the center of the temple with the water.
I can be a high strung/ anxious person and even I agree. I loved the time because it made the world feel real and lived in. There was always something happening at a certain time.
The hardest part of the later dungeons in Link's Awakening is to remember which set of stairs leads where. Thank God that you can put marks on the map in the remake.
It's been getting much more attention now with its last 2 entries. I personally am glad now to see it getting the credit it deserves, or for the 1st time in a while, as there was a time where it wasnt adored as much
Honestly with OoT you said it yourself. Tedious doesn’t equal hard. Therefore I’d say not the Water Temple, but either Shadow or Jabu Jabu for that frankly. The water temple isn’t hard. It’s just tedious as hell.
Hot take: The Water temple is one of the best Zelda dungeons. I like difficulty in Zelda games and it has that. The navigation is the hardest part and switching between Iron boots is annoying but in the 3DS version it is made easier and the pacts to switch the water level is color coded. Also if you use the Biggoron Sword or wait till it stops copying your move Dark Link is a pushover.
I beat the Water Temple on my first try in the 3DS remake, and without a guide. I also didn’t have the Biggoron Sword for the Dark Link fight, but I still got through the Water Temple very easily.
Just replayed links awakening again ,and yeah those last two dungeons are a pain in the ass. Of course the great palace is #1, that thunderbird fight is brutal, even with the spell. Solid list
Just recently replayed Minish Cap and one of the biggest reasons Palace of Winds is so tough is because its unbelievably stingy with hearts. Nearly every enemy just drops rupees instead.
I feel Dark Hyrule Castle from The minish cap should be here somewhere. Its not hard at the start, but its ending is gruesome: defeat some of the hardest enemies (including 3 dark nuts) during a time limit to reach one of the hardest final bosses of the franchise, Vaati
* Glad you got the Ice Palace in there for Link To The Past. Good Call. The first time I played that I was stuck goin gin circles for sooo long. And the ice definitely did not help. * Also glad you got Eagle's Tower in there for Links Awakening - I went in circles and backtracked so many times trying to get the last iron ball where I needed it to take out the last pillar. Whew. * Also, Also - surprised The OoT Water Temple wasn't first! But the first choice does make sense!
You can cheese the Ice Palace in LttP (in the orig SNES version) by doing Misery Mire first for the Cane of Somaria, which can be used to weigh down the switch on B6. Basically try to get down to B6 as quickly as possible (need a few small keys) and you win, Kholdstare is one of the easiest bosses especially if you have Bombos and the magic meter upgrade.
The Water Temple from the original version of Ocarina of Time was annoying, considering that you have to pause the game multiple times to put on/take off the Iron Boots, thankfully they made the Iron Boots an equippable item in the 3DS remake
Yeah, Level 6 (Dragon) in the original Legend of Zelda's 1st Quest I know is hard--especially the room with Like Likes AND Wizzrobes! Oh, how I hated that room! (As much as I hated Manhandla back in the day!)
in LOZ....level 6 & 9 (1st Quest), 6,7,& 8 (2nd quest). ZII AoL....Island Palace, Three-Rock Palace & the Great Palace, just getting there alone is a challenge. Moas (the flying eye balls) & lizaolfs Z LtoP....Skull Palace (i hate that palace, anything with wallmasters), Turtle Rock
I found City in the sky more frustrating and time consuming than difficult, which was a shame because otherwise it had some great ideas and one of the most fun items in the game
I guess it’s my fault for having expectations, but this video basically boils down to: the final dungeon in each game. Which makes sense, since it’s, ya know, the final dungeon in the game.
I still find it odd that people still actively call OoT Water Temple difficult. It’s not really hard at all, it’s more or less just the necessity of constant backtracking.
I have everything about Ocarina of Time fully memorized. I've beaten that game countless times. I even do the dungeons in a alternate order... I have to say, that the Water Temple. despite the fact that you have to manage the Ocarina and the Iron Boots...the dungeon has the main hall making it very easy to navigate and clear quite easily. I don't know everyone has so much trouble with it.
Yeah personally it didn't even come close to living up the horror stories around it. Got annoyed by constantly having to menu out and change boots in the 64 version, but that's it.
Not a single Links Awakening dungeon belongs on thus list. As for the Water Temple, I mean it's tedious but as long as you have a walk through it's not that hard. To me, Great Bay Temple and Turtle Rock ( Link to the Past) are the two most sadistic dungeons I have ever tackled.
I would also mention Zelda 2 does not phase me as long as I play on an emulator (I legally own the game). No, I don't use save states but using a keyboard instead of a controller makes the required movements easier for me.
Interesting takes however I disagree with Ocarina of time, Major a's masks and Skyward swords' placements as the water dungeon other than Dark link is not very mechanically challenging. It should be swapped with the shadow Temple as you have wind physics invisibility shenanigan's and loads of enemies and not many pots so If you're not prepared then you're going to die as in some areas there is basically nowhere to heal. For Majora's mask the only thing really hard about great bay is the boss Gyrog's arena being badly designed. Instead the Moon dungeon should take it's place As it will test you on all the challenging mechanics to prove that your worthy of the feirce deity mask. For Skyward sowrd I would put in the Ancient Cistern temple as back when I was a kid the idea of swinging a whip felt really unfamiliar which made the boss more challenging as well as the puzzles. Plus you also have your memory tested with combination locks that you have to risk your life to access through careful swimming. As for Links awaking, Phantom hourglass and spirit tracks, While the backtracking can be annoying I think it's worth mention that those games let you make notes in their own way so If your lost for hours on that part then it's a skill issue. As for Twilight princess I don't think any of it's Dungeons should have made it on the list as City in the sky isn't that bad unless you have 3d gyro motion eye issues. Other than that great video
Skull Woods is one of the shortest dungeons in the Zelda franchise if you know what to do. Get the Big Key first, then the Fire Rod, go back to the area with the Big Key but go west this time, before you exit find a small key under one of the pots. Then when you get to the final (very linear) section, you can just go straight ahead and unlock the door and proceed on to Mothula, if you got the Cape this becomes a joke.
Yeah, it's not like the Wind Waker is known for difficult dungeons, and the other three are often considered some of the easiest games. The hardest dungeon in Wind Waker is the very first one, mostly because you have to do most of it without your sword, and getting caught can set you back quite a bit. But once you know how to do it, it's more tedious than difficult.
I'm sorry, but I gotta take issue with including BotW Hyrule Castle. Sure it's imposing on the outside with all the sentinels roaming about. But even if you're not good at deflecting beams, you can dodge past most of them. And inside is mostly just bokoblins and other enemies. And including a Link's awakening dungeon in different versions separately and then combining versions for another? Sorry, this was a top 19 list. Not 20
Wow, okay, I'd also say that these dungeons are the most fun and rewarding. Don't know why you put in BOTW in there since you can cheese and bypass everything. All you need is waterfall scaling and updraft, and you're done. There are several reasons BOTW and TOTK dungeons are not worthy to be on this list.
Some of these aren't as hard as your making them out to be, you only think so because you guys suck at Zelda games & walkthroughs exist for a reason. The water dungeons from ocarina of time & majora's mask are tedious because of having to change water level/direction more then anything.
I actually think Great Bay Temple is better than the Water Temple. I didn't mind the water direction because the dungeon is more straightforward & the challenge is good. The only thing that's annoying is the boss and maybe if your going for the Stray Fairy. But even than, it's not as annoying as the Water Temple.
jesus christ another zelda video? are you making these videos to annoy me? zelda is my favorite franchise of all time next to MGS, but the more you post about zelda every 5 minutes, the more i get tired of it. chill tf down with zelda videos. we get it, you're obsessed.

Has to be great palace. As a kid, I wouldn't even want to try again
I swear this channel has a requisite of being an imbecile to get a job with them.
Wáter ooc temple i searched in internet 4 times!

It's called the Thunderbird
@@shyguykid7935Joke flew over your head bro
😂
Thunda Fokka 😂
If we're all being honest, Zelda 1 and 2 should take up almost the entire list.
To be serious, the original Zelda isn't all that tough when prepared. Now the Second Quest is indeed as hard as Zelda II.
@@LITTLE1994 Yeah Second Quest is evil, lol.
If you aren't prepared and "grind" stuffs and money, plus not knowing the hidden locations for bonus ruppies and Hearts, You're fucked at the 2nd half.

I never found the time limit to be an issue in Majora’s Mask when you slow down time.
Especially when it comes to the N64 version
I can be a high strung/ anxious person and even I agree. I loved the time because it made the world feel real and lived in. There was always something happening at a certain time.
The hardest part of the later dungeons in Link's Awakening is to remember which set of stairs leads where. Thank God that you can put marks on the map in the remake.
I do that all the time. It's handy, especially in Eagle's Tower!
I swear the Zelda series has the most highlights on this channel. Not that I'm complaining. It's just interesting
It's been getting much more attention now with its last 2 entries. I personally am glad now to see it getting the credit it deserves, or for the 1st time in a while, as there was a time where it wasnt adored as much
if not Zelda then God of War or Assassin’s Creed 😂
Honestly with OoT you said it yourself. Tedious doesn’t equal hard. Therefore I’d say not the Water Temple, but either Shadow or Jabu Jabu for that frankly. The water temple isn’t hard. It’s just tedious as hell.
Jabu jabu the third easiest dungeon if u know what u r doing
Thanks for highlighting Turtle Rock in ALTTP. Its so brutal. Definitely makes you earn your victory

Dark link room always amazes me with how they did that room. Honestly I love playing that dungeon just for that boss
Just replayed links awakening again ,and yeah those last two dungeons are a pain in the ass. Of course the great palace is #1, that thunderbird fight is brutal, even with the spell. Solid list
dunno about BOTW's Hyrule Castle being the hardest...it's hardly what I would call a dungeon.
Just recently replayed Minish Cap and one of the biggest reasons Palace of Winds is so tough is because its unbelievably stingy with hearts. Nearly every enemy just drops rupees instead.
Temple of the Ocean king was so awful I eventually rage quit and never beat PH lol
I feel Dark Hyrule Castle from The minish cap should be here somewhere. Its not hard at the start, but its ending is gruesome: defeat some of the hardest enemies (including 3 dark nuts) during a time limit to reach one of the hardest final bosses of the franchise, Vaati
U forgot the fire temple in tears of the kingdom
If u had a walkthrough or know it well the death mountain in Zelda 1 was quite easy especially the boss
* Glad you got the Ice Palace in there for Link To The Past. Good Call. The first time I played that I was stuck goin gin circles for sooo long. And the ice definitely did not help.

Hard is different from tedious - I’d say the water dungeon is tedious as you say in the video. Great bay temple is harder imo
The entire game - Zelda’s Adventure.
You can cheese the Ice Palace in LttP (in the orig SNES version) by doing Misery Mire first for the Cane of Somaria, which can be used to weigh down the switch on B6.

I must be the only person who NEVER had a hard time with Ocarina of Time's Water Temple.
You're not alone, I cleared it in an hour.
You’re so cool. I want to be just like you when I grow up
Water temple is hard if you miss two easy to miss keys ,
6:21 is my personal childhood hell lmao. I'm glad to see it here, it's just not me then 😂
Yeah, Level 6 (Dragon) in the original Legend of Zelda's 1st Quest I know is hard--especially the room with Like Likes AND Wizzrobes! Oh, how I hated that room! (As much as I hated Manhandla back in the day!)
Ice Ruins in A Link Between Worlds should be on the list, it’s probably even worse than ALTTP’s Ice Palace
in LOZ....level 6 & 9 (1st Quest), 6,7,& 8 (2nd quest).
ZII AoL....Island Palace, Three-Rock Palace & the Great Palace, just getting there alone is a challenge. Moas (the flying eye balls) & lizaolfs
Z LtoP....Skull Palace (i hate that palace, anything with wallmasters), Turtle Rock
Now we need top 10 or so favorite Zelda dungeons to explore
Stretching the term "dungeon" here, but I'd say Trial of the Sword on Master Mode would be the hardest thing I've ever done in a Zelda game.
I found City in the sky more frustrating and time consuming than difficult, which was a shame because otherwise it had some great ideas and one of the most fun items in the game
What about the water temple in Twilight Princess?
That dungeon took me as long as the city in the sky in my first playthrough
I feel like twilight princess lakeside temple should be on this list.
I guess it’s my fault for having expectations, but this video basically boils down to: the final dungeon in each game. Which makes sense, since it’s, ya know, the final dungeon in the game.
Hot take: the stigma against the water temple is unjustified
I still find it odd that people still actively call OoT Water Temple difficult. It’s not really hard at all, it’s more or less just the necessity of constant backtracking.
And if I remember correctly it’s also hated because you can softlock yourself in there
@ I’ve never had it happen to me after my 20+ playthroughs
@@Raz0r.0115 I think it mostly happens to new players who don’t really know how to correctly progress
Great bay was probably the best dungeon ever made. At least it was top 5 for me
The Ocarina Water Temple Was no problem for me lol
I actually didn’t struggle at water temple at all without any tutorials, lucky me😂
Putting stuff like the water temple above death mountain solely due to tedium is ridiculous
I have everything about Ocarina of Time fully memorized. I've beaten that game countless times. I even do the dungeons in a alternate order... I have to say, that the Water Temple. despite the fact that you have to manage the Ocarina and the Iron Boots...the dungeon has the main hall making it very easy to navigate and clear quite easily. I don't know everyone has so much trouble with it.
Its soooooo much easier on the DS version. Stone Temple from MM and Water Temple took me forever as a kid. 😂
Yeah personally it didn't even come close to living up the horror stories around it. Got annoyed by constantly having to menu out and change boots in the 64 version, but that's it.
Great video Great videogame Great youTube player

Great Bay Temple is not hard but it's easily the most annoying
I never found it annoying. In fact, I think it's one of the best dungeons in the series.
Zelda II still hasn't been and probably won't ever be dethroned as the hardest Zelda game.
I’m a little surprised that the water temple is not top of the list.
Interesting takes however I disagree with Ocarina of time, Major a's masks and Skyward swords' placements as the water dungeon other than Dark link is not very mechanically challenging.

Surprising that Windwaker, Four Sword, Four Sword Adventures, and A Link Between Worlds weren’t on the list
The first dungeon is from twilight wtf
@ my bad
Yeah, it's not like the Wind Waker is known for difficult dungeons, and the other three are often considered some of the easiest games. The hardest dungeon in Wind Waker is the very first one, mostly because you have to do most of it without your sword, and getting caught can set you back quite a bit. But once you know how to do it, it's more tedious than difficult.
The streeeeeeetched aspect ratio is soo bad. Pretty please 🙏 with sugar on top use the original aspect ratios.
I love the Sky Keep
Yeah its no secret Water temple in OoT is brutal if you dont know where to go and when
Just starting, if they don’t mention the Ice Palace in LttP this would be sad lol I love that place but always makes you think
So they mention it but don’t specifically mention THAT block that you have to figure out. Better than usual by these folks, but still missed haha
damn...im seeing lots of zelda contents lately when i just started playing botw lmao
The Water Temple from Ocarina of Time is hard. I beat it on my first try in the 3DS remake. Without a guide.
Pls use the chapter feature in future videos.
The city in the sky reminds me of the dungeon in skyward sword
I'm sorry, but I gotta take issue with including BotW Hyrule Castle. Sure it's imposing on the outside with all the sentinels roaming about. But even if you're not good at deflecting beams, you can dodge past most of them. And inside is mostly just bokoblins and other enemies.
And including a Link's awakening dungeon in different versions separately and then combining versions for another? Sorry, this was a top 19 list. Not 20
If anyone says the water temple in ocarina of time is hard they really just need to get good. It's not a hard temple
Tears of the Kingdom feels like Ike long complicated dungeon.
The final fight in BOTW felt way too easy; just me ?
Wow, okay, I'd also say that these dungeons are the most fun and rewarding. Don't know why you put in BOTW in there since you can cheese and bypass everything. All you need is waterfall scaling and updraft, and you're done. There are several reasons BOTW and TOTK dungeons are not worthy to be on this list.
The Water Temple isn’t even that hard… it’s just a massive slog
List is kinda wrong but i get the diversity. If the list was true, top 7 would all be Zelda 2 dungeons
stonetower and city from twilight? you never play any of this 2 games or?
You put dark link instead of mothra poor amoeba
O,25 no that nightmares
Why are these always in generic, unspecific ordered lists instead of ranked. I would much rather these be ranked than listed on generically.
The Water Temple by a mile.
How is that hard? Just a bit annoying backtracking at times, but no hard puzzles or enemies
It's mildly annoying but not in the slightest difficult.
You should probably stick to Kirby and Yoshi games.
@n1nj4l1nk I don't have time for video games constantly moving around.
@@RiVer-Parish you've just described mild annoyance not difficulty.
the stone tower temple from majora's mask is not the last dungeon or the final dungeon.
Yeah it is. The moon is not a dungeon
@@kidcosmo9327its technically the last dungeon if you do the mask children's challenges for the final mask
