This belongs in the Ocarina of Time Forum. I suggest it gets moved there.

The Spirit Temple, by the way.

Anything but the Water Temple.

Also, why is Bottom of the Well not here?

It counts.

Sorta.

Despite being scared witless by the music at first, the Forest Temple.  Excellent puzzles and a fun mid-boss and boss battle, and the Forest Temple Theme really grew on me.

The fights against Volvagia and Twinrova are tied, but the Flaming Bats of Hell in the Fire Temple pushes it into a close third place behind the Spirit Temple.

Seconded.

Except I like the Forest Temple, too.

Water Temple by far... I didn't honestly find it that challenging! but it was fun to mess around with the various water levels and to fight Dark Link!

Also, the Forest Temple was fun, I really enjoyed it. A lot of the others I finished too quickly/easily to find interesting.

Dark Link to me was the only redeeming part of the water temple.

After going through the Water Temple a second time, I found it much less challenging than I first thought. I think most of the reason everyone hated it, as one person once pointed out, is that you had to spend so much time going to the menu and changing from Iron Boots to regular ones. It was very annoying. The second time around, the Water Temple is a lot more fun.

I've noticed a lot of people having trouble with everything being similar looking; the temple itself is very symmetrical and I feel like this throws people off. Personally it just made it easier for me- the Shadow Temple and its asymmetry really threw me for a loop.

I greatly enjoyed both the Shadow and Spirit temples.  They seemed more realistically corrupted than any of the other temples.

I went ahead and added the Bottom of the Well option to the poll.

The Spirit Temple got a lot more love than I thought it would.

A dual time dungeon, can't get much cooler than that.

Yea I loved it for the simple fact I had to go there as both a child and an adult
not to mention Twinrova

Spirit temple for me. The whole thing was fun, from the beginning as an adult to the ending with Twinrova! And all that bombing and booming in the Fire temple really made it worth while. It's also the music that adds to the moment.

I said Ganon's Tower because it sampled all the temples Link went through as an adult.

Deku Tree - had some cool music but was too easy
Dodongo's Cavern - not very creative background music but the level itself was alright
Jabu Jabu - gross but not in a bad way. I just hated all those bloody jellyfish electrocuting me
~~~
Forest Temple - awesome music and catching the Poes was fun. I would have voted this as the 2nd most fun temple.
Fire Temple - good music but too much fire and always being afraid of being burned
Water Temple - I think we all know why everyone thought it was too confusing. The music was nice, though. It sounded Egyptian.
Shadow Temple - A little too creepy (same thing with the Bottom of the Well) and knowing when to use the Eye of Truth got a little confusing
Spirit Temple - love the music and I like how Link comes as child and adult but I really hated the Darknuts.

In the early games, not much.  Ocarina of Time onwards, Iron Knuckles wield axes while Darknuts wield swords and shields.

It also seems that Iron Knuckles are more of Miniboss, while Darknuts sort of just attack with regular enemies, or in groups.

That is also correct.

Of course, that's not to say that Darknuts weren't minibosses themselves once before. Cases in point, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

They were closer to "Mooks in mini-bosses' clothing" in those games, since after you fought them, they became regular enemies.

That would actually be a degraded boss (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DegradedBoss).

Nevermind that this is a late reply.

That's a pretty standard opinion if you're a Zelda fan. :P

But the Water Temple in the Master Quest version isn't as annoying, so no worries there.
