So, out of all the dungeons in the series you've been through, which of them do you think is the hardest?
This is a hard decision for me. The Water Temple comes to mind, and the second half of the LA dungeons were also...., how to put this, a living Hell. LTTP was no cake-walk either. All in all, I would have to say.......
Ganon's Tower, from LTTP. I died so many times in that dungeon it's sad. If I didn't get a walkthrough, I'd have never beeten LTTP.
Alright, laugh at me...
Skull Forest from Alttp. I'm scared of wallmasters.
Edit: And Ice Cavern, also Alttp.
Toughest dungeon? Ice Palace, aka Dungeon 5, of AlttP. That dungeon made me exercise some serious brainpower. My head was pounding after 3 hours of work- and I still didnt figure it out!!
Uh... none of them, really. I haven't had much of a problem figuring out the puzzles or anything. But if you want which dungeon I took the longest...
Probably the Shadow Temple from OOT. I really, really hate wallmasters and bloody grates.
(Of course, the dungeons in LA were pretty hard...)
Ok how bout I put it by game since I can't think of a number one for all.
OOT: Water Temple do I even need to explian this one?
MM: Stone Tower Its technically 2 dungeons in 1, on upright and one upside down.
WW: The Earth Temple. That temple took me 2 hours to beat. About half of that was spent tring to figure out that huge mirror puzzle in the basement.
TP: Palace of Twilight. Sure it looks cool, sure I like it, but why do I have to spend all this time stealing Sols and being chased by giant hands?
Ganon's Tower in ALTTP and the Great Palace in TAOL. The first is just freaking hard, and the other one is a huge maze with near unbeatable enemies and traps everywhere.
Ganon's Tower isn't hard inasmuch as it's long. I find it rather fun, actually when I go through it.

THe Great Palace is impossible. I declare it.
The 3D Water Temples lol thats all i can think of
The water temple from OOT. It's the reason I haven't gotten my game back in a year. i was replaying OOT, and I couldn't remember how to beat the water temple so I gave it to my friend, who couldn't beat it, and then he lent it to his friend, who has probably erased my game and started a new one.
Start from the bottom up, sketching a map helps a LOT, you can keep track of locked doors and the like...
At least, that's how I did it. It doesn't take too long like that, I find.
sounds like a good idea, if I actually had the game. ;)
I never worked out why people found the water temple from OOT so hard to be honest... For me the hardest would have to be Ganon's Tower in ALTTP.
While a single dungeon doesn't immediately spring to mind, I can say that I think the dungeons in "The Legend of Zelda" and "Zelda II" are the toughest. For one thing, you've got basically no story to guide you to what dungeons to go to, so you can wind up in a dungeon you aren't supposed to get to until much later in the game. You can also waste time going through rooms you don't need to even enter to advance in the dungeon, plus the enemies you encounter are much tougher, and require actual strategy, not just some random sword slashes. In the later games, the designers have given you at least a basic story to guide you to which dungeons to go to. They've also given each room in a dungeon a purpose, and the enemies are simpler to defeat, but they're also a lot more varied than the earlier games.
That being said, I think I will go play Zelda II.
The dungeons in Zelda II really aren't that hard, but then again, this is coming from a guy who beat the game in about a week, soo....
Also, DUNGEON SIX OF LOZ FIRST QUEST!
Oh yeah, and the great palace, mentioned a while back in this thread (I think...)
Maybe the Zelda II dungeons aren't that difficult for you, but... I can't get past the second one. Too many things keep draining my life meter. Plus I can only do so much button mashing before my hands get so sweaty I can't hold onto the controller.
magic really isn't a necessity for that point in the game, so just increase heart and attack levels. Those two will get you through most things... And there's a trick, sonce you beat one palace, you gain an automatic level-up. The thing is, you can choose not to use th elevel up and insdtead use it as a quick way to leel up the attribute that's currently taking the most experience points (usually attack).
Be sure to stick around in a new dungeon for a bit so you can level up your attack and health.
I think the toughest dungeon for me was the Water Temple in OOT. I needed a walkthrough for that one! ^.~
The toughest temple is the water temple. In OoT and TP the water temple is always the hardest simply because of its puzzles.
Agree. The winner is the Water temple. Especially in OoT. But no. Wait. The toughest dungeon is... Jabu Jabu Belly :D
if you just like clear your mind, there all kinda easy, man
I miss the good old easy dungeons in WW.... :-*
hmm, i thought OoT water temple was average, i didnt really have much trouble with it.
Im stuck between Ice Palace from LttP and Last lvl (whatever its called...) from AoL.
That ice palace slayed me, took 3 hours to finish the second half of that freaken lvl. :(
and, agreeing with Mark, WW dungeons were easy as pie....
I also want ot vote for another candidate no one is voting for: Eagle's Tower, LA. Not THE toughest, but no one else is voting for it, so... ::)
Wouldn't voting for it just because no one else is defeat the purpose of the poll, especially if you don't think it's very tough?
Stop corrupting the data. (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg14/FeetLord/Forum%20pics/emoticons/mad.gif)
I like the Temple of the Ocean King and the temple of Courage in PH. Not tough but... Nice
I thought that the toughest dungeon was the Water Temple in the Master Quest remake of OoT.
There was one part, during the raising-lowering sequence, where I was convinced you had no choice but to use Farore's Wind. :\
Water Temple from OOT. Still can't get out.
And the Skull Temple Place in ALTTP.
Both hurt my brain.
Skull Temple palace? Don't remember that one... O_o
Oh wait, do you mean the one in the woods?
I've never actually had to play the Water Temple ( I know, I know, I've never actually beaten Ocarina ), but I saw how much pain my friend went through when he tried to play through it.
I'd say Water Temple
But in IMO, I thought the Arbiter's Grounds was annoying as hell. The Temple of Time was essentialy only puzzles, but those little larva things PISSED ME OFF so bad.
Nothing in any of the handhelds was hard, c'mon guys.
The sword fights in MC were challenging, and the fight with Ganon is always a plain in Lttp, but nothing really made me too angry.
But I remember the Ice Temple was pretty annoying.
MC was by far the easiest handheld. I can beat it in a day, no problem.
LttP was more challenging, but still easy.
I hate the Water Temple in OoT!!! All those *naviing* hidden keys!!! >:(
