Can we just appreciate how awesome it is in Twilight Princess that there's a dungeon in the temple of time??? Like the same temple as ocarina of time, but now there's a giant tower inside of it???
Twilight Princess had some pretty neat dungeons too. I remember Arbiter's Grounds and Twilight Palace being pretty cool. And the snow one was dope too, being a mansion and all.
I played the early Tony Hawk's Skateboarding titles and afterwards this temple felt very silly and didn't have a real "Zelda feel" to it in MY personal view.
lets see... #1 arbiter's grounds #2 also arbiters grounds #3 still the arbiters grounds #4 That place in BoTW where you fight the second molduga, the arbiter's grounds. #5 always the arbiters grounds.
I think Hyrule Castle would have been a great dungeon if I had actually explored it rather than finding the quickest way to Ganon. Also two words: Snow Peak
YES! Nothing has ever managed to topple this temple from its throne, despite SO many other dungeons in the series being absolutely incredible as well. Simply amazing. That music...
My favorite dungeons are Arbiter’s grounds and Snowpeak ruins from twilight princess. I like them so much because of the amazing dungeon items, the bosses, and the design.
Honest, The Yeti's palace on Snow Peak was my favorite. I think it is the Yeti that make it for me, they are just so sweet, and have Link running around collecting ingredients for the worst sounding soup ever.
Honorable mention; Hyrule castle (tp). It just had a beautiful arcitecture... and usage of most of the older items you get. Mix in most of the hardest regular enemies and a 4 phase endboss.
Honestly the skykeep dungeon In skyward sword is my favorite. The whole concept of a dungeon with moving rooms is so cool, and the fact that you collect all 3 pieces of the triforce in it is really cool too
Yeah when I realized that after a few minutes that I was actually moving the rooms around by playing with that pedestal, I was like "holy shit this is cool"
It is also my favorite game! I like the overall theme of the game and the collectible items with the Kinstone mechanic, (Remote Bombs are the best items in Zelda).
07:07 This sentiment is incredibly sensitive and powerful. There's something extremely fascinating about really mysterious stuff that's been there all along, not in some distant place or in the unknown frontier, but in places you thought you knew forever. Love that. And I absolutely feel the same way about the Forest Temple and always have since the game first came out. Similar to this, the Temple of Time from Twilight Princess is a strong candidate for this list. Very intelligent dungeon layout, an intriguing puzzle concept and great atmosphere, and it's an incredibly mystical place, heavy with meaning and ancient history, and it's basically right around the corner where Link grew up in that game.
Arbiter's grounds is one, is not, the most creepy of all Zelda Dungeons I've played. Darn that effin flying head! Stallord is the thing nightmares are made!!
My favorite is the snowpeak mansion from TP. The ball and chain was awesome, I liked the fact that the dungeon was just a mansion that got taken over by monsters, the whole mirror quest that ends up making soup was a cool central mechanic to build a dungeon around, and do I even need to mention the boss fight with its epic music?
@@TaroMikami The main problem is that there are a lot of parts where you have to wait on a cage. Other than that, it was pretty darn awesome. I can see why people like it although I wouldn't put it as top 5.
5. Ganon's Tower (OoT). It's my favorite final dungeon in the series (though Hyrule Castle from TP is a very close second). 4. Arbiter's Grounds (TP). Good atmosphere, cool item, a fantastic boss, and an iconic location used in future events in the game. What's not to love? 3. Woodfall Temple (MM). The Stone Tower gets a lot of well-deserved love, but there a few parts that always annoy me (ie. That one timed mirror shield puzzle). The Woodfall area may not have as much atmosphere as Ikana, but I really enjoy the temple itself. It also doesn't feel like a tutorial, which is a great departure from some other first dungeons in the series. 2.Thieves' Hideout (LttP). What can I say? I really liked the fakeout with the girl, and I liked fighting a boss that some NPCs talked about in Kakariko. It may not be one of the best dungeons in the series, but it is a personal favorite. 1. The Spirit Temple (OoT). I tried to keep it one per game, but I couldn't help myself here. A sage doubling as the miniboss, the hover boots, the mirror shield, the iron knuckles, and the twin boss fights were all fantastic. It feels climatic because of the struggle to reach the dungeon and because of the area's connection with Ganondorf. I also really like that Kaepora acknowledged Link's growth at the end of the child half. It just feels right he calls young Link a man, showing that it's his adventure and not the time skip that led to him maturing.
Wow dude, I completely agree on your reasoning for Forest Temple. It conveys some feelings that are difficult to put into words, but you do a good enough job of doing just that.
Favorite dungeons 5shadow temple 4 arbiters grounds twilight princess 3 fire temple skyward sword 2 water shrine breath of the wild 1 temple of time twilight princess And best of all achent cistern skyward sword
5. Water temple, ocarina of time 4. Eldin mines, twilight princess. 3. City in the Sky, twilight princess 2. Temple of Time, twilight princess 1. Hyrule castle, twilight princess. Oot has a ton of dungeons I loved, but none of them were much of a challenge like the water temple. Eldin mines, because it was so varied, and even though it was a fire dungeon, it had a ton of water in it too. City in the Sky was so cool, and the fact that you got a second hook shot type item for the first time was amazing. Plus, it was really cool to become a medieval Spider-Man clad in green. The first time I stepped into the temple of time in OoT, I was kinda disappointed. I was hoping for a dungeon, but no success. Then Twilight Princess came out, and you had to complete it for one of the mirror pieces. It was so cool using the dominion rod, and I kinda wish it had more uses outside that temple. Hyrule castle was amazing, all the darknut fights were awesome. Sword to sword combat was always my favorite in Wind Waker (it certainly wasn’t the graphics) and Twilight Princess, and with the skills you obtained from the Hero or whatever, it made it even more fun.
The forest temple will always have a special place in my heart when I think of the Zelda series and it will also be my favourite dungeon for ever in ocarina of time which is a shame because I also blooming love the fire temple but the music in the forest temple just suits the whole of the theme and the Poe sisters are such a fantastic mini boss to face before you then have to go and face ganon I am so glad there is someone else who likes this temple as it is really great. XX
Richard Mcloughlin every time the violins or whatever play in forest temple its disorienting like a bad drug trip love it. No theme serves any dungeon better. Too bad ALttP was soooo lazy
Forest temple is also my favourite, for the same reasons. The aesthetic design and the beautifully sinister music - it is somehow foreboding and awe inspiring at the same time, almost as if it paralyses you with its beauty. It represents that things are not what they seem. It is not only that it is hidden in the sacred forest meadow as a surprise that makes it so great. Like you said we associate the Kokiri forest with the safety of childhood but what a perfect introduction to the first adult dungeon. The monsters and puzzles are a step up from the child dungeons and I don't think the first dungeon could have been done in a better way. What I love about Ocarina of time is that the narrative affects the game-play, becoming an adult allows you to wield the hookshot (this is not explained well but I like that adult link has specific items). You feel like the game-play is not arbitrary. Though the dungeon is not spectacular in its design, there are some touches I really love - the wallmasters, the twisting hallways, the Poe puzzles and Phantom Ganondorf (a terrific boss fight). Everything is about illusion and I think that's what becoming an adult is about. Seeing the naive ways of understanding the world as a child collapse in front of you, giving way to overwhelming complexity, and suffering, and still in the face of that you must carry on.
also i cant hel but notice zeltiks picks seem to have little to no choice inside the dungeons themselves? forest temple, ok you can choose which key you have to use first but not really choose, both windwaker dungeons you dont really have to choose, palace of winds doesnt have that much choice in it, heck when you get the cape your path is chosen for you. as for ancient cistern i havent played Skyward in a while and while i remember somethings about the dungeon i forget specifics. and if you want more detail just watch boss keys, the guy who makes it goes over this sort of thing.
Wind Waker was sooo awesome, and it came out when I was 18. I thought the cell shading would make it kiddish and crappy, but I had to try it, it was a new Zelda game after all. I ended up loving everything about it, and the bright skies with the bright blue ocean just made it feel serene. I wish they’d release a version for the Switch. I lost my GameCube and my Wii during one of the ten times I moved in college and a few years after.
5. Great Bay Temple (Majora's Mask): I KNOW, right? But once you figure out the mechanic, I find that this place is actually super fun, and I really don't mind the final boss. Plus I like swimming as Zora Link. 4. City in the Sky (Twilight Princess): The music is hypnotic, you're in a constant state of "Oh my God I'm going to fall out of the damn sky!", and the Occaa are chicken people, so what more do you want out of life? 3. Earth Temple (Skyward Sword): Again, music, but I love the atmosphere here, plus the boss is really cool and fast-paced. 2. Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time): It was either this or the Spirit Temple, but this one is harder so it's more rewarding in the end. 1. Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword): Go and look up the Buddhist parable of the Spider's Thread and you'll understand this Temple's backstory, plus it's just GORGEOUS. It's hard to find an extended mix of the music online though, which is a real shame because, again, the mythological atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired.
I think that my top 5 are, in no particular order Mermaid's Cave - Oracle of Ages (my first Zelda game, when I finally found the one dungeon that had to be played both in past and present) Forest Temple - basically for the same reasons as the ones presented here, other than the fact that I got incredibly stumped on my blind playthrough. Also the twisted corridor and the boss... Holy smoly Stone Tower Temple - I have a soft spot for temples with bending structures. Also I love the fact that the atmosphere of Ikana isn't represented at all during this temple. Arbiter Grounds - To me, the point where TP actually kicks off. You can see a pattern here, I like bending structures and hunting poes, what can I say? Sandship - Yeah call me crazy, but I also love going back in time, and having the Sandship breezing in the middle of the desert while being actually on the ocean is just *chef's kiss*
Its a hard one, but I think Im going with this; 5. Swamp Palace (ALttP) 4. Snowpeak Ruins (TP) 3. Great Bay Temple (MM) 2. Arbiter's Grounds (TP) 1. City in the Sky (TP)
5. Goron Mines (the way they utilized the Iron Boots in this dungeon was just, wow!) 4. Arbiter's Ground 3. Stone Tower Temple (how can that not be on any list? The music alone is amazing and the real life example of the Tower of Babylon is fascinating.) 2. Ancient Cistern 1. Shadow Temple (introduction to spooky and in my opinion, no other temple made me feel like how the Shadow Temple makes me feel. Okay, Dark Woods from Link Between Worlds did it and that one is an honorable mention. But for nostalgic reasons and how it ties into the dark side of Hyrule, it has to be on my list.)
It's been said, but I'll say it again. Arbiter's Grounds. The freaky atmosphere, the terrific gameplay, the use of Wolf and Human forms, the design that is difficult to fully search but without requiring much backtracking, the freakin' Spinner, and easily the best bosses (both mini-boss and head honcho, plus how they're linked by that cursed sword). Oh, right, and the large amount of plot that goes along with the whole place! How is this not at the top of any list?
I've only played the 3D Zelda titles yet, so here's my top 5 dungeons :D 5. Snowpeak Ruins (_Twilight Princess_) 4. Ancient Cistern (_Skyward Sword_) 3. Forsaken Fortress (_Wind Waker_) 2. Sandship (_Skyward Sword_) 1. City in the Skies (_Twilight Princess_)
My top 5: 5- Lorule Castle (A Link Between Worlds) 4- Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild) 3- Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time) 2- Sky Keep (Skyward Sword) 1- Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess) I just love dungeons that are actually residences.
I think the water temple in Twilight Princess deserves a nod. Using the staircase to manipulate the flow of water creates some really cool puzzles. The final boss is truly something to behold, especially when you find out it's actually 10X bigger that you originally thought! A true horror from the abyss of the ocean.
#5. Lakebed Temple - Twilight Princess #4. Dragon Roost Cavern - The Wind Waker #3. Temple of Time - Twilight Princess #2. Shadow Temple - Ocarina of Time #1. Snowpeak Ruins - Twilight Princess I just realized that my favorite Zelda game went from Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess LOL.
For me: Puzzle Box / Puzzle Aspects > Bosses > Atmosphere, and it all has to be memorable. A series of rooms with puzzles that never see you affecting other rooms or even doing a hint of backtracking is a loss - sorry Shadow Temple and all of Wind Waker (except Makar's Temple). With that in mind, and knowing that the entire list aside from Sky Keep could be swapped around for placements: 1. Sky Keep (SS) - the whole dungeon is a puzzle, and that's mind blowingly incredible. Even without a proper single boss, this takes the cake. 2. Sandship (SS) - Timeshift stones are a great puzzle mechanic and tie into enemies as well. The final boss is a letdown but not so much that it ruins the dungeon. 3. Ancient Cistern (SS) - Lots of clever design, a great atmosphere, and one of the best bosses ever makes this an easy win. Loses points for that one stone tablet that could have been a Fi hint. 4. Stone Tower Temple (MM) - Flipping the dungeon is amazing and having to use basically everything in your arsenal is always great. Growing to Kaiju size to fight the final boss is also really sweet, although the 3DS remake missed the execution by making it hard to fight Twinmold with your fists. And although that bit sucks, the original N64 version was also way too easy as you could just go into Giant form and basically mash the controller on your face to win. Mini-bosses are great though. 5. Water Temple (OoT) - Loses points for the original involving taking Iron Boots on and off a bajillion times. Gains those points and then some for atmosphere, the puzzle aspect, and Dark Link fight.
Really good list zelik here are my favorite dungeon in Zelda 15 snowhead temple 14 forest temple tp 13 earth temple ss 12 eagle tower 11 ice ruin 10 wind temple 9 earth temple ww 8 shadow temple 7 temple of time tp 6 arbiter grounds 5 ancient cintrens 4 stone tower temple 3 sprit temple 2 fire sanutray 1 fire temple
Twilight princess has some AMAZING dungeons... But when I started this video I said under my breathe "forest temple for me". And then you put it at your#1!! I LOVED the design of the forest temple. I got lost over and over as a kid and it made it feel sooo mysterious. Great video my friend
Water Temple (Ocarina of Time) Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword) Stone Tower Temple (Majora's Mask) Ice Palace (A Link To The Past) Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess) In no particular order. Just realized I really like all the most challenging ones with great level design. Well, Arbiters Grounds isn't particularly hard... the spinner is simply the shit in that one room. You know the room.
Spirit Temple - Ocarina of Time, Turtle Rock - A Link To The Past, Arbiters Grounds - Twilight Princess, Stone Tower - Majora's Mask and Eastern Temple (Lorule) A Link Between Worlds. All of these are in no particular order.
I always loved the temple of time from twightlight princess Something other worldly about it. Feels huge yet confused as you can’t leave the temple to explore outside
this is literally the best zelda channel on youtube. this guys with Zelda is like Bahroo with Borderlands. literally nobody is better or anywhere close than this dude
Tempel of time from Twillight princess was so godam cool since you get to control giant accient Stone figures And Twillight princess are by far One of the Best zelda games when it comes to Dungeons
I loved the Groudon Dessert dungeon(Arbiter's Grounds) in Twilight Princess. Sure, it was a lot of work to get through, but I fucking loved it! I loved how the features of the dungeon was really Egyptian-ish. The platforms you had to move to get to the poes, and I loved the Spinner you had to get on to get to another area. Very fun dungeon. Probably my favorite one.
I cant realy tell whats my favorite dungeons I just can tell that the Watertemple in TP is realy good (because I like the atmosphere the design and the boss/idea) and the Spirit and Forest Temple in Ocarina of time (same reason)
On the one hand, this was a fantastic video. On the other hand, it would've been even more fantastic if you had made it a top ten rather than top five. Either way, I'm super glad I subscribed! This is easily my favorite Zelda channel on UA-cam.
Stone Tower Temple (Majora’s Mask) Temple of Droplets (Minish Cap) Lanayru Mining Facility (Skyward Sword) Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time) Great Bay Temple (Majora’s Mask)
My top 7: 7: city ik the sky from tp 6: temple of time from tp 5: snowpeak ruins from tp 4: great bay temple from mm 3: spirit temple from oot 2: stone tower temple from mm 1: water temple from oot
Here's MY new list! 5 Tower of the gods. The miniboss and great music arent the only reasons this dungeon is in the top 5. This dungeon has plenty of lazers, moving platforms, and creative puzzles. The introduction to the command melody is flawless. I really enjoy navigating the statues around the dungeon and its cool how they open the way to the next floor. The final area is also worth noting. Stepping outside to see just how high you really are is really cool. 4 Sword and shield maze. I am aware this isnt a popular pick for top 4 but it really is an amazing dungeon. The concept of 2 sections (one fire, one ice) is cool enough. There are some pretty interesting puzzles and platforming areas. My favorite part however is the incredible puzzle where you throw ice crystals from the top floor to the bottom to freeze the lava. 3 Ice ruins. Yes, another ice dungeon, but its much different from S&S maze. First of all, this dungeon has two main mechanics, An elevator and a platform that you move around the dungeon to access new areas. The pacing is done in such a brilliant way. You start the dungeon by activating the elevator, which already allows yoh to acces every floor and even get the big key within the first minute of the dungeon. Despite every floor being accessible, you can only explore one room per floor. You have to find a key on 1 specific floor and use it on another. This is the start of and incredible setup for the rest of the dungeon. The dungeon progressively gets more complicated the further you get challenging your mind and your skills. Many sequences where you enter a previous area from a higher (or lower) spot. And the ice actually plays its role well. Ice is used in certain tightwalk areas and in certain battles but its actually fun because link controls well on ice. Its easily the best Top Down Zelda dungeon in my opinion. 2 Stone tower temple. You know this dungeon already. Youve heard people gush about it before. Its honestly that good. Not only can you see the difference between night and day because most of the dungeon takes place outside, but you can even flip the dungeon on its head, LITERALLY. The variety of enemies and minibosses is definitely one of my favorite things about the dungeon. Every moment in the temple is very memorable. And since it's the final dungeon of majoras mask it takes great advantage of all of links transformations and even has a new mask near the end. All of this leading up to one of the best bosses in the entire zelda series. 1 Wind temple. Not the forest temple, Not ancient cistern, Not a twilight princess dungeon, but the wind temple from wind waker. This dungeon takes the dungeon design of wind waker and steps ot up to the next level. First of all, Makar. Makar is very useful and fun to use with his. Abilities to hover and place seeds into the ground that grow into trees. But then he gets captured pretty early in the dungeon. One of the biggest reasons i love this dungeon is the main room with a giant fan and the way it is used in the dungeon. Probably more than half of the dungeon takes place in this one room. The iron boots are used much better than in the water temple and even add a new use to the dungeons main item, the Hookshot. Of course youre probably aware of the hookshots use but it also works to bring down heavy stones. The atmosphere, puzzles and boss all make up for my favorite dungeon in the entire zelda series.
You kids will never know the incredible feeling when you stumble on the first tree with an open mouth in the original game, you walk in and hear link going down stairs, and suddenly you realized your in dungeon #1, and the music changes to a more intense feel, and that blue hue is eased over everything in what you find is a labyrinth. Only those who were young like me in 1986 will understand why you didn't even come CLOSE to naming the best Zelda dungeon, the one to start them all!
Pumpkinpie3080 Well, we'd never seen anything like that game when we first had it...it wasn't a step back in the graphics time capsule for us. It was by far the most incredible game an 8 or 9 year old, or anyone for that matter, had ever seen, that infinitely added to the moment. Jeez, you were born after Ocarina of time had come out too?! I'm psyched kids are into Zelda and do videos like this, I guess my wish or point is, the whole Zelda experience is different, and I have to believe a bit better, because we're the rare, LUCKY few who've played every game in the series in order of release, and played on the actual day of release. Every time we play Zelda, we've and we're playing the game in its newest intimation. We've not had to feel like we're traveling in the past to get the story, we ALWAYS feel like we're moving forwards into the future. I'm not trying to say we're better, I'm only saying I WISH I could describe or give you that feeling of the first Zelda screen cutting on and it being the most amazing thing you've ever seen on a screen! It's a trip!
Shadow temple from oot is my #1. You get such a feeling of progession from adventuring through it. I genuinely was scared I'd get lost and it had some of my favorite moments, from the spiked wall trap you have to burn to the fight on the ship. It truly felt like you descending further and further into darkness.
Not saying it should be top 5, but does anyone else love the goron mines from twilight princess. TP was my first zelda game (went back and played older ones after this), but I loved the feel. Plus getting the bow for the first time felt legendary.
Yeah, mostly everything about the temple is great. I quite like dungeons that have one massive central room, and the Wind Temple is no different. Puzzles, enemies (including the miniboss), the item, and, of course, the boss are all really good. Molgera's theme is my favorite song in the entire soundtrack (title theme and miniboss theme being 2nd and 3rd respectively).
Link the Prince of Hyrule I find it very complex ... being overcome a lot later ... with the newly launched Final Fantasy XV and its dungeon almost impossible ... the Pitioss Dungeon ... It's an insane difficulty ... I gave up for a while ... But I'll try again soon
"The bane of my childhood, floomasters." Could not agree more my friend, I played Wind Waker and OOT as a young child as well (actually my first 2 video game I ever played), and they are to date, my most feared enemy in any video game. The way they just snatch you right off your feet and all you can do is struggle, mash all your buttons, and just pray it doesn't take you, is something I will never forget.
Can we just appreciate how awesome it is in Twilight Princess that there's a dungeon in the temple of time??? Like the same temple as ocarina of time, but now there's a giant tower inside of it???
One of my top 5 favs of all time love it In every way
I wouldn't rate that dungeon in my top 10 but it is still an honourable mention
I beat it recently it's really quite cool how something you haven't seen in years appears to be an amazing dungeon!
actually it's a quite linear dungeon
@@sobreoqueeugosto4700 True.
Twilight Princess had some pretty neat dungeons too. I remember Arbiter's Grounds and Twilight Palace being pretty cool. And the snow one was dope too, being a mansion and all.
I loved snow peak ruins because It didn't feel like a dungeon, it was just a mansion.
The Snowpeak Ruins seemed interesting to me
@@thelostone7512 Snowpeak Ruins feels the least like a dungeon in the best way.
I like that you bring up snowpeak ruins. The first time i played it i didnt like it at all and the second time it blew me away
I for one hated the twilight palace. Getting these orbs around while being chased was not a lot of fun from my perspective.
Id have put Arbiters Grounds from twilight princess in here somewhere
I played the early Tony Hawk's Skateboarding titles and afterwards this temple felt very silly and didn't have a real "Zelda feel" to it in MY personal view.
Agreed, my favorite part was getting the spinner and using it to jump off walls and land on platforms it just makes me fell accomplished
For real the best one , I agree 1000x
Honestly all of twilight princess's dungeons are fantastic.
Like at the top.
1: Stone Tower Temple
2: Ancient Cistern
3: Spirit Temple
4: Arbiter’s Grounds
5: Great Bay Temple
Wow, exactly my list in the same order, i was baffled when i had to turn the stone tempel arround and rediscover the whole tempel, just genius
Spirit Temple is soooooo underrated, but it's quite possibly my all time favorite!
@@breadz285 I wouldnt call it underrated its such a popular favorite
@@breadz285 I’ve never heard it be called underrated ever, I mostly just see praise towards it
Great bay temple? Really?
My list:
5. Sandship
4. Ancient Cistern
3. Arbiter's Grounds
2. Spirit Temple
1. Snowpeak Ruins
Spirit temple has the most interesting mechanic in the series
Wait... a cistern is where water is held in a toilet.... and you went exploring it??
BAKANEKO Ancient Pisstern
The Frözenfires XD
I’d say that but replace sandship with stone tower temple
I understand why you didn't include TP dungeons. Because that game alone would fill up the whole top 5 list.
Yeah with EIGHT dungeons
Yeah, I love each and every TP dungeon, I can't believe he didn't even include SNOWPEAK!
lets see... #1 arbiter's grounds #2 also arbiters grounds #3 still the arbiters grounds #4 That place in
BoTW where you fight the second molduga, the arbiter's grounds. #5 always the arbiters grounds.
Dunno, they were gorgeous, but super linear for the most part.
I think Hyrule Castle would have been a great dungeon if I had actually explored it rather than finding the quickest way to Ganon. Also two words: Snow Peak
Spirit temple OOT was the best
You played as young link and adult link and with the story of the sage and the witches? Awsome!!!
YES! Nothing has ever managed to topple this temple from its throne, despite SO many other dungeons in the series being absolutely incredible as well. Simply amazing. That music...
the only one that actually intrigued me more than the Spirit Temple was the Stone Tower from Majora's Mask. but Spirit Temple was amazing
Yeah that was amazing
yeah haha that music is incredible xD
stone towers music was legendary and finding the temple was a dark creepy quest. Loved it
My favorite dungeons are Arbiter’s grounds and Snowpeak ruins from twilight princess. I like them so much because of the amazing dungeon items, the bosses, and the design.
i love how zeltik didn't even include tp dungeons, he had probably not played it before
Honest, The Yeti's palace on Snow Peak was my favorite. I think it is the Yeti that make it for me, they are just so sweet, and have Link running around collecting ingredients for the worst sounding soup ever.
it sounds amazing until the fish tbh
JohnnyStyle300 Weird thing is, any combo of two of the items seems alright, but three is too many
It also unlocks an infinte supply of one of the best healing items in the game, which is pretty sweet.
jindo5 well it’s only infinite for that dungeon, and you only have one bottle to take on the road
@@connora4554 No, you can fill as many bottles as you like, and the supply doesn't run out, you just have to go back and get more.
5. Temple of Time (TP)
4. Shadow Temple (OoT)
3. Spirit Temple (OoT)
2. Snowpeak Ruins (TP)
1. Arbiter's Grounds (TP)
I would only swap temple of time tp for the city in the sky tp
@EpicEddyTV Well it can't be denied it was one of if not the best designed Zelda game with some very fun complex dungeons.
Honorable mention; Hyrule castle (tp). It just had a beautiful arcitecture... and usage of most of the older items you get. Mix in most of the hardest regular enemies and a 4 phase endboss.
I always think TP means toilet paper and not Twilight Princess.
i need tp for my bunghole
My favorite dungeon is the stone tower temple
Adan Sevilla Yes I'm not the only one!
Was looking for this comment xD
Stone Tower is da best!
I will burn that temple down
@@TaroMikami
It's made of Stone tho! Bahaha
xD
@@Broockle i....you...good point
Forest temple's music always gives me chills and goosebumps. When I played the game as a kid I was scared af during that temple
Honestly the skykeep dungeon In skyward sword is my favorite. The whole concept of a dungeon with moving rooms is so cool, and the fact that you collect all 3 pieces of the triforce in it is really cool too
Yeah when I realized that after a few minutes that I was actually moving the rooms around by playing with that pedestal, I was like "holy shit this is cool"
I just beat this dungeon today and loved it!!!
Where's Stone Tower dungeon? It at least deserves honorable mention for being so massive
Truee, best MM dungeon by far. When it flips its the coolest thing
"Minish cap is my favorite zelda"
I said outloud to an audience of no one "What?!"
Favourite 2D Zelda * :P
Favorite 2d** Still though!
It is also my favorite game! I like the overall theme of the game and the collectible items with the Kinstone mechanic, (Remote Bombs are the best items in Zelda).
Shesez I'm a fan.
Dude I didnt think Id see you here! I'm a huge fan of you and your show!
07:07 This sentiment is incredibly sensitive and powerful. There's something extremely fascinating about really mysterious stuff that's been there all along, not in some distant place or in the unknown frontier, but in places you thought you knew forever. Love that. And I absolutely feel the same way about the Forest Temple and always have since the game first came out. Similar to this, the Temple of Time from Twilight Princess is a strong candidate for this list. Very intelligent dungeon layout, an intriguing puzzle concept and great atmosphere, and it's an incredibly mystical place, heavy with meaning and ancient history, and it's basically right around the corner where Link grew up in that game.
When you put it that way, it honestly gives me a new love for the Temple of Time.
arbiters grounds, city in the sky, and snow peak ruins (all from tp) are all some of my favorites, along with the forest temple (oot)
Arbiters grounds was amazing! One of my all times favourites for sure.
Arbiter's grounds is one, is not, the most creepy of all Zelda Dungeons I've played.
Darn that effin flying head! Stallord is the thing nightmares are made!!
I had to shut down my Wii U when I played this dungeon because it was night and I was home-alone and I got really, REALLY scared.
I agree, Arbiter's Grounds lingers just outside my top 5. Love that one, just wish it had a more useful item.
King Nate id have to disagree with snowpeak ruins
My favorite is the snowpeak mansion from TP. The ball and chain was awesome, I liked the fact that the dungeon was just a mansion that got taken over by monsters, the whole mirror quest that ends up making soup was a cool central mechanic to build a dungeon around, and do I even need to mention the boss fight with its epic music?
my top:
1- city in the sky (TP)
2- tower of ganon (ALTTP)
3- Tower of gods (WW)
4- level 1 (Zelda NES)
5- Castle of Hyrule (TP) l
City in the sky WASN'T. GOOD.
@@TaroMikami Based on this comment section, the Legend of Zelda community at large would beg to differ.
@@TaroMikami The main problem is that there are a lot of parts where you have to wait on a cage. Other than that, it was pretty darn awesome. I can see why people like it although I wouldn't put it as top 5.
5. Ganon's Tower (OoT). It's my favorite final dungeon in the series (though Hyrule Castle from TP is a very close second).
4. Arbiter's Grounds (TP). Good atmosphere, cool item, a fantastic boss, and an iconic location used in future events in the game. What's not to love?
3. Woodfall Temple (MM). The Stone Tower gets a lot of well-deserved love, but there a few parts that always annoy me (ie. That one timed mirror shield puzzle). The Woodfall area may not have as much atmosphere as Ikana, but I really enjoy the temple itself. It also doesn't feel like a tutorial, which is a great departure from some other first dungeons in the series.
2.Thieves' Hideout (LttP). What can I say? I really liked the fakeout with the girl, and I liked fighting a boss that some NPCs talked about in Kakariko. It may not be one of the best dungeons in the series, but it is a personal favorite.
1. The Spirit Temple (OoT). I tried to keep it one per game, but I couldn't help myself here. A sage doubling as the miniboss, the hover boots, the mirror shield, the iron knuckles, and the twin boss fights were all fantastic. It feels climatic because of the struggle to reach the dungeon and because of the area's connection with Ganondorf. I also really like that Kaepora acknowledged Link's growth at the end of the child half. It just feels right he calls young Link a man, showing that it's his adventure and not the time skip that led to him maturing.
The hover boots? You know that hover boots are in shadow temple and you can beat any temple in any order right my dude?
I agree with this list almost exactly. I haven't played TP yet, so I dunno about the arbiters grounds, but everything else is perfection.
Wow dude, I completely agree on your reasoning for Forest Temple. It conveys some feelings that are difficult to put into words, but you do a good enough job of doing just that.
Favorite dungeons
5shadow temple
4 arbiters grounds twilight princess
3 fire temple skyward sword
2 water shrine breath of the wild
1 temple of time twilight princess
And best of all achent cistern skyward sword
Finally someone agrees with temple of time at number 1
It's called the Fire Sanctuary for #3. Unless you're talking about the second dungeon, in which case it's called the Earth Temple.
I love the dungeons with a darker feel in most of the games, I actually really enjoyed some of the dungeons from A link between worlds
My list:
1. Twilight Princess, the whole game.
Yes. I fully agree.
Lol
Idk I never played twilight princess cuz I’m only 7 years old and I have no WII
No
@@lenixguimond2228 been ported to the Wii U and I fully expect a switch port in the relatively near future.
I love how you have the dungeon names appear in the style of BotW Shrine names. Nice tough!

👏👏👏
5. Water temple, ocarina of time
4. Eldin mines, twilight princess.
3. City in the Sky, twilight princess
2. Temple of Time, twilight princess
1. Hyrule castle, twilight princess.
Oot has a ton of dungeons I loved, but none of them were much of a challenge like the water temple.
Eldin mines, because it was so varied, and even though it was a fire dungeon, it had a ton of water in it too.
City in the Sky was so cool, and the fact that you got a second hook shot type item for the first time was amazing. Plus, it was really cool to become a medieval Spider-Man clad in green.
The first time I stepped into the temple of time in OoT, I was kinda disappointed. I was hoping for a dungeon, but no success. Then Twilight Princess came out, and you had to complete it for one of the mirror pieces. It was so cool using the dominion rod, and I kinda wish it had more uses outside that temple.
Hyrule castle was amazing, all the darknut fights were awesome. Sword to sword combat was always my favorite in Wind Waker (it certainly wasn’t the graphics) and Twilight Princess, and with the skills you obtained from the Hero or whatever, it made it even more fun.
Good list.
I also love the thema and atmosphere of the forest temple. It is such a magic place.
Thanks, Zeltik.
The forest temple will always have a special place in my heart when I think of the Zelda series and it will also be my favourite dungeon for ever in ocarina of time which is a shame because I also blooming love the fire temple but the music in the forest temple just suits the whole of the theme and the Poe sisters are such a fantastic mini boss to face before you then have to go and face ganon I am so glad there is someone else who likes this temple as it is really great. XX
Richard Mcloughlin every time the violins or whatever play in forest temple its disorienting like a bad drug trip love it. No theme serves any dungeon better. Too bad ALttP was soooo lazy
Unpopular opinion here...
I prefer the fight with Phantom Ganon over the end boss Ganon. It was just more magical to me.
Same
Forest temple is also my favourite, for the same reasons. The aesthetic design and the beautifully sinister music - it is somehow foreboding and awe inspiring at the same time, almost as if it paralyses you with its beauty. It represents that things are not what they seem. It is not only that it is hidden in the sacred forest meadow as a surprise that makes it so great. Like you said we associate the Kokiri forest with the safety of childhood but what a perfect introduction to the first adult dungeon. The monsters and puzzles are a step up from the child dungeons and I don't think the first dungeon could have been done in a better way.
What I love about Ocarina of time is that the narrative affects the game-play, becoming an adult allows you to wield the hookshot (this is not explained well but I like that adult link has specific items). You feel like the game-play is not arbitrary. Though the dungeon is not spectacular in its design, there are some touches I really love - the wallmasters, the twisting hallways, the Poe puzzles and Phantom Ganondorf (a terrific boss fight). Everything is about illusion and I think that's what becoming an adult is about. Seeing the naive ways of understanding the world as a child collapse in front of you, giving way to overwhelming complexity, and suffering, and still in the face of that you must carry on.
Cant wait for the BotW Dungeons :D
Here is my Top 5 ^^
5. _Snowpeak Ruins (Twilight Princess)_
4. _Stone Tower Temple (Majoras Mask)_
3. _Palace of Winds (Minish Cap)_
2. _Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword)_
1. _Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)_
*Snowpeak Ruins
Warren Valion Oh yh sorry forgott the English name for it 😅
am i the only one who likes temple of winds (minish cap) more than palace of winds? no? just me? ok then
also i cant hel but notice zeltiks picks seem to have little to no choice inside the dungeons themselves? forest temple, ok you can choose which key you have to use first but not really choose, both windwaker dungeons you dont really have to choose, palace of winds doesnt have that much choice in it, heck when you get the cape your path is chosen for you. as for ancient cistern i havent played Skyward in a while and while i remember somethings about the dungeon i forget specifics. and if you want more detail just watch boss keys, the guy who makes it goes over this sort of thing.
dat guy I actually like temple of droplets more than the palace of winds
Wind Waker was sooo awesome, and it came out when I was 18. I thought the cell shading would make it kiddish and crappy, but I had to try it, it was a new Zelda game after all. I ended up loving everything about it, and the bright skies with the bright blue ocean just made it feel serene. I wish they’d release a version for the Switch. I lost my GameCube and my Wii during one of the ten times I moved in college and a few years after.
5. Great Bay Temple (Majora's Mask): I KNOW, right? But once you figure out the mechanic, I find that this place is actually super fun, and I really don't mind the final boss. Plus I like swimming as Zora Link.
4. City in the Sky (Twilight Princess): The music is hypnotic, you're in a constant state of "Oh my God I'm going to fall out of the damn sky!", and the Occaa are chicken people, so what more do you want out of life?
3. Earth Temple (Skyward Sword): Again, music, but I love the atmosphere here, plus the boss is really cool and fast-paced.
2. Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time): It was either this or the Spirit Temple, but this one is harder so it's more rewarding in the end.
1. Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword): Go and look up the Buddhist parable of the Spider's Thread and you'll understand this Temple's backstory, plus it's just GORGEOUS. It's hard to find an extended mix of the music online though, which is a real shame because, again, the mythological atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired.
Great Bay for the win!!
You think the fire temple was harder? I had to look up a bunch of the spirit temple, but I did the fire temple with no walkthroughs.
I think that my top 5 are, in no particular order
Mermaid's Cave - Oracle of Ages (my first Zelda game, when I finally found the one dungeon that had to be played both in past and present)
Forest Temple - basically for the same reasons as the ones presented here, other than the fact that I got incredibly stumped on my blind playthrough. Also the twisted corridor and the boss... Holy smoly
Stone Tower Temple - I have a soft spot for temples with bending structures. Also I love the fact that the atmosphere of Ikana isn't represented at all during this temple.
Arbiter Grounds - To me, the point where TP actually kicks off. You can see a pattern here, I like bending structures and hunting poes, what can I say?
Sandship - Yeah call me crazy, but I also love going back in time, and having the Sandship breezing in the middle of the desert while being actually on the ocean is just *chef's kiss*
Twilight Princess has the best dungeons in the series IMO. Surprised I didn't see any here from that game.
twilight princess is shite m8
Craig Adams I like Majoras Mask the best but I’ve never played TP and I love Wind Waker and OOT equally
Loved the Spirit temple from OOT. The theme is amazing and something about sharing a temple with adult link and young link is awesome to me.
Its a hard one, but I think Im going with this;
5. Swamp Palace (ALttP)
4. Snowpeak Ruins (TP)
3. Great Bay Temple (MM)
2. Arbiter's Grounds (TP)
1. City in the Sky (TP)
1. Temple of time (TP)
2.Stone tower temple (MM)
3. Arbiter's Grounds (TP)
4. Shadow temple (OoT)
5. Forsaken fortress (WW)
Was it the Ice Palace or Ice Ruins that I love so much in Twilight Princess?
Marshadow the Magical Snowpeak Ruins ^^
Marshadow the Magical it's call Snowpeak Ruins
Marshadow the Magical As others have mentioned, it's Snowpeak Ruins, and that is easily one of my favorites in the series.
Marshadow the Magical
The Ice Ruins...
I love them.
im pretty sure its snowpeak ruins were you are in the mansion also one of my favorites
5. Goron Mines (the way they utilized the Iron Boots in this dungeon was just, wow!)
4. Arbiter's Ground
3. Stone Tower Temple (how can that not be on any list? The music alone is amazing and the real life example of the Tower of Babylon is fascinating.)
2. Ancient Cistern
1. Shadow Temple (introduction to spooky and in my opinion, no other temple made me feel like how the Shadow Temple makes me feel. Okay, Dark Woods from Link Between Worlds did it and that one is an honorable mention. But for nostalgic reasons and how it ties into the dark side of Hyrule, it has to be on my list.)
man the forest temple music is so good, brought back memories
It's been said, but I'll say it again. Arbiter's Grounds. The freaky atmosphere, the terrific gameplay, the use of Wolf and Human forms, the design that is difficult to fully search but without requiring much backtracking, the freakin' Spinner, and easily the best bosses (both mini-boss and head honcho, plus how they're linked by that cursed sword). Oh, right, and the large amount of plot that goes along with the whole place! How is this not at the top of any list?
I've only played the 3D Zelda titles yet, so here's my top 5 dungeons :D
5. Snowpeak Ruins (_Twilight Princess_)
4. Ancient Cistern (_Skyward Sword_)
3. Forsaken Fortress (_Wind Waker_)
2. Sandship (_Skyward Sword_)
1. City in the Skies (_Twilight Princess_)
My top 5:
5- Lorule Castle (A Link Between Worlds)
4- Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)
3- Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)
2- Sky Keep (Skyward Sword)
1- Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)
I just love dungeons that are actually residences.
no stone temple from majora's mask?!
the use of all the masks to get through the temple? alongside the hidden lore of Akana valley?!
come on man!
It's the best MM dungeon by far, barely missed this list.
Stone Tower is my #1.
Zeltik dude, the stone tower temple is the best dungeon in the series and everyone know it
I know is your top but come on!! 🙄
Yeah but getting to it is such a chore imo
Ehh its fun and as a great theme but not the best
I think the water temple in Twilight Princess deserves a nod. Using the staircase to manipulate the flow of water creates some really cool puzzles. The final boss is truly something to behold, especially when you find out it's actually 10X bigger that you originally thought! A true horror from the abyss of the ocean.
I really enjoyed that explanation for the Forest Temple, thanks for making it
1.Arbiters ground
2.spirit temple
3. Stone tower temple
4. Great bay temple
5. Divine beast vah ruta
Arbiters grounds from TP was definitely very awesome!!
I just found this channel and it is wonderful, and also realizing that wind waker is someone else’s all time favorite game is wonderful to know
#5. Lakebed Temple - Twilight Princess
#4. Dragon Roost Cavern - The Wind Waker
#3. Temple of Time - Twilight Princess
#2. Shadow Temple - Ocarina of Time
#1. Snowpeak Ruins - Twilight Princess
I just realized that my favorite Zelda game went from Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess LOL.
For me: Puzzle Box / Puzzle Aspects > Bosses > Atmosphere, and it all has to be memorable. A series of rooms with puzzles that never see you affecting other rooms or even doing a hint of backtracking is a loss - sorry Shadow Temple and all of Wind Waker (except Makar's Temple). With that in mind, and knowing that the entire list aside from Sky Keep could be swapped around for placements:
1. Sky Keep (SS) - the whole dungeon is a puzzle, and that's mind blowingly incredible. Even without a proper single boss, this takes the cake.
2. Sandship (SS) - Timeshift stones are a great puzzle mechanic and tie into enemies as well. The final boss is a letdown but not so much that it ruins the dungeon.
3. Ancient Cistern (SS) - Lots of clever design, a great atmosphere, and one of the best bosses ever makes this an easy win. Loses points for that one stone tablet that could have been a Fi hint.
4. Stone Tower Temple (MM) - Flipping the dungeon is amazing and having to use basically everything in your arsenal is always great. Growing to Kaiju size to fight the final boss is also really sweet, although the 3DS remake missed the execution by making it hard to fight Twinmold with your fists. And although that bit sucks, the original N64 version was also way too easy as you could just go into Giant form and basically mash the controller on your face to win. Mini-bosses are great though.
5. Water Temple (OoT) - Loses points for the original involving taking Iron Boots on and off a bajillion times. Gains those points and then some for atmosphere, the puzzle aspect, and Dark Link fight.
Personally I really loved ancient cistern
Soul Links same here

YESSSSS. The forest temple is easily my favorite. So happy to see this at number 1.
Twilight princess has some AMAZING dungeons... But when I started this video I said under my breathe "forest temple for me". And then you put it at your#1!! I LOVED the design of the forest temple. I got lost over and over as a kid and it made it feel sooo mysterious. Great video my friend
6:18 mentions the shadow temple, shows the royal family's tomb. 😅
still cool though, deffo agree on forest temple being first.

A very respectable list
Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)
Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword)
Stone Tower Temple (Majora's Mask)
Ice Palace (A Link To The Past)
Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)
In no particular order. Just realized I really like all the most challenging ones with great level design. Well, Arbiters Grounds isn't particularly hard... the spinner is simply the shit in that one room. You know the room.
Lakebed temple deserves some love. And the spirit temple is just so good with the atmosphere, the returning as adult... very unique and awesome.
I actually hate lakebed bcs od it’s atmosphere and because it was the first temple I got stuck on
5. Snowpeak Ruins, TP
4. Sandship, SS
3. Ancient Cistern, SS

Bro your a saint as I watched this I was really looking for the forest temple as #1 😆💯🙌🎉
Spirit Temple - Ocarina of Time, Turtle Rock - A Link To The Past, Arbiters Grounds - Twilight Princess, Stone Tower - Majora's Mask and Eastern Temple (Lorule) A Link Between Worlds. All of these are in no particular order.
Wind Waker was my favorite game as well!
And I know everyone might hate me for this but my favorite temple is the Water Temple in TP.
Oh my! My fave Water temple of all!
My second is Ancient Cistern, in a way.
Nice that is awesome! Ancient Cistern is in my Top 5! :D
I was scared I thought you said your fav was the OOT Water Temple
YESSS! Before i even watched the video, i was saying to myself, "please include the forest temple from ocarina of time!"
I actually prefer the Wind Temple myself, but I like Arbiter's Grounds too.
Really, the Wind Temple is easily my least favorite dungeon in Wind Waker.
Glad to see someone showing forest temple some love, Always Was my favorite aswell, the music and design just gives such a cool atmosphere!
I always loved the temple of time from twightlight princess
Something other worldly about it.
Feels huge yet confused as you can’t leave the temple to explore outside
My top 5:
1. City In The Sky (TP)

4. Forest Temple (OOT)
5. Temple of Time (TP)
5. Spirit Temple

5. Water Temple
4. Snowpeak Ruins
3. Earth Temple
2. Tower of Spirits
1. Ancient Cistern
this is literally the best zelda channel on youtube. this guys with Zelda is like Bahroo with Borderlands. literally nobody is better or anywhere close than this dude
Tempel of time from Twillight princess was so godam cool since you get to control giant accient Stone figures
And Twillight princess are by far One of the Best zelda games when it comes to Dungeons
I loved the Groudon Dessert dungeon(Arbiter's Grounds) in Twilight Princess.
Sure, it was a lot of work to get through, but I fucking loved it! I loved how the features of the dungeon was really Egyptian-ish. The platforms you had to move to get to the poes, and I loved the Spinner you had to get on to get to another area. Very fun dungeon. Probably my favorite one.
I cant realy tell whats my favorite dungeons I just can tell that the Watertemple in TP is realy good (because I like the atmosphere the design and the boss/idea) and the Spirit and Forest Temple in Ocarina of time (same reason)
Water Temple was alright, but there was too much backtracking for my tastes
@@chickennuggerinos2472 he means lakebed temple i think
@@mr.sniffly5297 Yeah, every time you miss a jump, you'd have to run back through 12 rooms.
@@chickennuggerinos2472 oh, I don’t have twilight princess so I didn’t know, and the Oot water temple has backtracking too
@@mr.sniffly5297 True, both games with the Hero of Time have bad Water Temples imo
5) Lanayru Mining Facility (Skyward Sword)
4) City in the Sky (Twilight Princess)
3) Forbidden Forest (Wind Waker)
2) Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)
1) Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword)
On the one hand, this was a fantastic video. On the other hand, it would've been even more fantastic if you had made it a top ten rather than top five. Either way, I'm super glad I subscribed! This is easily my favorite Zelda channel on UA-cam.
Stone Tower Temple (Majora’s Mask)
Temple of Droplets (Minish Cap)
Lanayru Mining Facility (Skyward Sword)
Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)
Great Bay Temple (Majora’s Mask)
That came unexpected :D
Zeltik, 2 more days ... I'm so fucking excited :O
but if you mean his # 1 choice, that is anything but unexpected =)
Forest temple is simply too OP in the gaming world, it's simply a work of art
yea - the Event didn't disappoint in terms of setting the world on fire did it? =D
My top 7:
7: city ik the sky from tp
6: temple of time from tp
5: snowpeak ruins from tp
4: great bay temple from mm
3: spirit temple from oot
2: stone tower temple from mm
1: water temple from oot
The Ancient Cistern dungeon is based on the story "The Spider's Thread"
When you realize the water temples are essentially giant toilets.
My guy, the fact that you said that Forest temple was your number 1 favorite makes me so happy. I love that temple!
JOYCON boys!
Here's MY new list!
5 Tower of the gods. The miniboss and great music arent the only reasons this dungeon is in the top 5. This dungeon has plenty of lazers, moving platforms, and creative puzzles. The introduction to the command melody is flawless. I really enjoy navigating the statues around the dungeon and its cool how they open the way to the next floor. The final area is also worth noting. Stepping outside to see just how high you really are is really cool.
4 Sword and shield maze. I am aware this isnt a popular pick for top 4 but it really is an amazing dungeon. The concept of 2 sections (one fire, one ice) is cool enough. There are some pretty interesting puzzles and platforming areas. My favorite part however is the incredible puzzle where you throw ice crystals from the top floor to the bottom to freeze the lava.
3 Ice ruins. Yes, another ice dungeon, but its much different from S&S maze. First of all, this dungeon has two main mechanics, An elevator and a platform that you move around the dungeon to access new areas. The pacing is done in such a brilliant way. You start the dungeon by activating the elevator, which already allows yoh to acces every floor and even get the big key within the first minute of the dungeon. Despite every floor being accessible, you can only explore one room per floor. You have to find a key on 1 specific floor and use it on another. This is the start of and incredible setup for the rest of the dungeon. The dungeon progressively gets more complicated the further you get challenging your mind and your skills. Many sequences where you enter a previous area from a higher (or lower) spot. And the ice actually plays its role well. Ice is used in certain tightwalk areas and in certain battles but its actually fun because link controls well on ice. Its easily the best Top Down Zelda dungeon in my opinion.
2 Stone tower temple. You know this dungeon already. Youve heard people gush about it before. Its honestly that good. Not only can you see the difference between night and day because most of the dungeon takes place outside, but you can even flip the dungeon on its head, LITERALLY. The variety of enemies and minibosses is definitely one of my favorite things about the dungeon. Every moment in the temple is very memorable. And since it's the final dungeon of majoras mask it takes great advantage of all of links transformations and even has a new mask near the end. All of this leading up to one of the best bosses in the entire zelda series.
1 Wind temple. Not the forest temple, Not ancient cistern, Not a twilight princess dungeon, but the wind temple from wind waker. This dungeon takes the dungeon design of wind waker and steps ot up to the next level. First of all, Makar. Makar is very useful and fun to use with his. Abilities to hover and place seeds into the ground that grow into trees. But then he gets captured pretty early in the dungeon. One of the biggest reasons i love this dungeon is the main room with a giant fan and the way it is used in the dungeon. Probably more than half of the dungeon takes place in this one room. The iron boots are used much better than in the water temple and even add a new use to the dungeons main item, the Hookshot. Of course youre probably aware of the hookshots use but it also works to bring down heavy stones. The atmosphere, puzzles and boss all make up for my favorite dungeon in the entire zelda series.
You kids will never know the incredible feeling when you stumble on the first tree with an open mouth in the original game, you walk in and hear link going down stairs, and suddenly you realized your in dungeon #1, and the music changes to a more intense feel, and that blue hue is eased over everything in what you find is a labyrinth. Only those who were young like me in 1986 will understand why you didn't even come CLOSE to naming the best Zelda dungeon, the one to start them all!
01Airbag I mean, I was born 2002 but I played the first Zelda when I was very young, so.. I had a similar feeling.
Pumpkinpie3080 Well, we'd never seen anything like that game when we first had it...it wasn't a step back in the graphics time capsule for us. It was by far the most incredible game an 8 or 9 year old, or anyone for that matter, had ever seen, that infinitely added to the moment. Jeez, you were born after Ocarina of time had come out too?!
I'm psyched kids are into Zelda and do videos like this, I guess my wish or point is, the whole Zelda experience is different, and I have to believe a bit better, because we're the rare, LUCKY few who've played every game in the series in order of release, and played on the actual day of release. Every time we play Zelda, we've and we're playing the game in its newest intimation. We've not had to feel like we're traveling in the past to get the story, we ALWAYS feel like we're moving forwards into the future. I'm not trying to say we're better, I'm only saying I WISH I could describe or give you that feeling of the first Zelda screen cutting on and it being the most amazing thing you've ever seen on a screen! It's a trip!
that must of been a great feeling. The very first time dungeon in a zelda game was shown...
Shadow temple from oot is my #1. You get such a feeling of progession from adventuring through it. I genuinely was scared I'd get lost and it had some of my favorite moments, from the spiked wall trap you have to burn to the fight on the ship. It truly felt like you descending further and further into darkness.
zeltik: Windwaker is my favorite Zelda game
Botw: allow me to introduce myself
He did mention in on of his videos that it still was his favorite Zelda game and that Breath of the Wild did come close.
Not saying it should be top 5, but does anyone else love the goron mines from twilight princess. TP was my first zelda game (went back and played older ones after this), but I loved the feel. Plus getting the bow for the first time felt legendary.
I would say my favorite legend of Zelda dungeon is the shadow temple from ocarina of time
Damn wind temple from wind waker got snubbed, thats the best dungeon in the whole game
Yeah, mostly everything about the temple is great. I quite like dungeons that have one massive central room, and the Wind Temple is no different. Puzzles, enemies (including the miniboss), the item, and, of course, the boss are all really good. Molgera's theme is my favorite song in the entire soundtrack (title theme and miniboss theme being 2nd and 3rd respectively).
The way you describe the Forest Temple gave me chills, because it's so accurate!
Water Temple of the Ocarina...😹😹😹
Natanael Menezes Meneguel To be honest it was quite easy and nice 😂
Link the Prince of Hyrule
I find it very complex ... being overcome a lot later ... with the newly launched Final Fantasy XV and its dungeon almost impossible ... the Pitioss Dungeon ... It's an insane difficulty ... I gave up for a while ... But I'll try again soon
Natanael Menezes Meneguel that's a very easy temple, I enjoy it quite a lot. Weird I know

I honestly thought the dungeons in BotW were extremely disappointing.
Guys its a fucking joke
Doesn't sound like a joke at all lol, just sound like someone who was way too hype for BotW lmao.
Joey Nordman doesn't looks like a joke. The dude's avatar is a botw one.
Hope is a joke tho
"The bane of my childhood, floomasters." Could not agree more my friend, I played Wind Waker and OOT as a young child as well (actually my first 2 video game I ever played), and they are to date, my most feared enemy in any video game. The way they just snatch you right off your feet and all you can do is struggle, mash all your buttons, and just pray it doesn't take you, is something I will never forget.
