is it just me, or are all of the water temples extreamly annoying? i mean, TP wasnt that bad, but do u remember the OOT water temple?! holy crap, i almost gave up playing when i was there. i wanna know ur oppinions on the water temples.
They aren't that bad. I find them all, average. I don't really find the most difficulty in puzzles, mostly in enemies.
Water Temples are the worst, and partly because everyone, ever since OOT, thinks they are extremely hard just because they're water dungeons and that affects how they are in the dungeon.
Water dungeons are death, No question Great Bay temple wa shard, the Water Temple was hard, and the swampy-water temple (number 2) in AlttP was just annoying.
I'm a girl. I'm not supposed to be able to find my way anywhere (well, according to the stereotypes). And I have absolutely no problems with the water temples at all. They are not hard to get through. All you have to do is simply use your brain once in awhile to remember the layout a little. Not difficult.
No problem at all. The biggest problem with me was that I didn't realize I had the boss key in the TP water temple, and I searched and opened every chest before realizing I had it all along.
It was a waste of twenty minutes.
I actually didnt find any of the TP dungeons very hard, they all seemed rather easy compared to OOT and MM temples.
I'm with LN on this one. The Water Temples seemed to be much more puzzle oriented, which is really a part of what makes Zelda...well, ZELDA. What we want is puzzles and action, right? Right. All of these temples pretty much gave both in a single helping. I'm happy with that. :)
I love puzzles, and the OoT Water Temple was almost my favorite dungeon. On the other hand, Great Bay Temple gave me a headache and I still haven't beat it.

Wow... you're only NINE and you were able to do that? *GIVES YOU ONE MILLION COOKIES!*
I see that we're conveniently forgetting about the water dungeons of Oracle of Ages and Links awakening. And wasn't there one for Minish Cap (I Forgot...)
But the Ice temple (Temple no. 5) of Lttp Was INSANE..
Well, TMC had the Temple of Droplets. It was just about completely filled with ice, but ice is frozen water.
I didn't hate most of these places, but the Temple of Droplets was awful. And the Ice Temple was pretty hard too.
Temple of Droplets is my favorite GBA Zelda dungeon, and Ice Cavern is up there too.
I loved the temple of droplets, my favorite definitely...
i haet water temples and to help you with the irst water temple in OoT you start at the bottom and work your way up ,that's what my bro told me and it worked ,but in the TP water temple ,that is just an evil place . >:(
The Water Temple isn't that bad. The Ice Palace, Turtle Rock, most dungeons in OoA, Great Bay Temple, Stone Tower Temple, Lakebed Temple and, most of all, City in the Sky are much worse. In the Water Temple you change the water level in a certain order. Try Jabu Jabu's Belly in OoA, where there's no such thing.
Of all Zelda dungeons (they are called dungeons; only a minority are temples) the City in the Sky is the only one that I've done that I would truly call a nightmare. Well, that and Level 6 in the first game. :-*
EDIT: If you disclude OoA, which have some nightmarish dungeons.
City in the Sky was only hard to me in the way that I kept getting blown off the edge. Yeah, that... sucked.
And the boss killed me because fire and Zora Armour... don't mix. I had issues in Arbiter's grounds, actually...
City in the Sky was easy for me. Doesn't wearing the Zora armor and getting fried by Aragarok do like 10 hearts?

yey but all you do is start at the bottom and work your way up
QuoteCity in the Sky was easy for me. Doesn't wearing the Zora armor and getting fried by Aragarok do like 10 hearts?
Yay, I've found a way to make the game more challenging! :D Only... I'm never fried by Argarok.V_V Hmm... is it possible to get to the third dungeon before the second if you cross the Bridge of Eldin before heading for the Goron Mines? If it's possible I may used the Zora Armour in the Goron Mines.
I'm pretty sure it's not. I tried it once, and I'm not exactly sure what happened, but it certainly didn't work.
I don't think it is....then again, it is possible. You did have the option to do the temples in a different order in OoT...

The game mechanics of OoT made it difficult to the dungeons in any random order of your choosing. Normally, you wouldn't be able to skip the forest, fire, and water temples, but by using glitches extensively, you could do exactly that.
However, such things were not meant to happen. The best example of nonlinearity in a Zelda game that I can think of is the original Legend of Zelda. You really could do them in different orders, and WITHOUT glitches... of course, you'd need to go into a certain dungeon to get the item of transportation on a couple of occasions, but that's pretty much it.
Actually, I was mostly referring to the Shadow and Spirit temples. I think you could also do the water temple before the fire, though I can't remember how...
I did the fire temple before I did the forest temple the second time around... owo; I'm not sure if you can get the goron tunic before the forest temple, though. (I went through with the Kokiri tunic. I didn't die of heat except in the match with Volvagia, but I had a faerie.)
And then I did the Spirit before Shadow, and I did Jabu-Jabu before Dodongo's cavern. (I grabbed the bombs and left. So technically, I did go through Dodongo cavern.)
Also, it makes sense to go to the water temple before fire; you don't need the Goron Tunic or Megaton hammer, you can just get some blue fire and unfreeze the King Zora and get your free tunic (or unfreeze the shop and buy one for 500 rupees, but seriously, who wants to do that?) and then go get the iron boots. :3 Or get boots then tunic. Either way works.
I love the water temples! They make you think a lot; it's just annoying when you overlook something and have to search through the temple step by step. Yeah, it gets old after a while, but I love being able to make the game longer! :D
Water temples are cool .I would like bigger temples and more temples and much much harder temples than the water temples

Oh yeah, what happens is, you need bomb arrows/bombs in general to bomb open a wall. ^w^; And you can only get those AFTER the Goron Mines...
