It's not a bad dungeon, it's just easy to miss a key and not know exactly which branch and water level you didn't check, and needing to start over with the water level for one key can really throw off your rhythm.

>Shadow Link is best boss in the game
yeah its alright. Just remember to find that one hidden key you missed on the bottom floor.

>Just remember to find that one hidden key you missed on the bottom floor.

I never miss that one, it's always some other key that I manage to miss. The one in the same room where you meet up with Ruto, but it's behind a bomb-able wall that you need the water level to be half-way for.

The boss key skip in master quest is so easy to do that this dungeon takes about 5 minutes in mq. I haven't played the non mq version in years though, so I can't remember how long it is.

I don't think I've ever beaten shadow Link without spamming din's fire. What am I actually supposed to do?

>>4750451

Hit him with the goron sword

>>4750451
I don't know, he's easy at first and then he starts to mirror you perfectly and occasionally get in some hits. As long as you're using the master sword it seems impossible to hit him. I usually use the hammer, or if I have it, the biggoron sword.

>>4750451
Don't collect any hearts and you'll beat him in just a few seconds, because his health mirrors your own.

>>4750463
Wow, that's pretty damn interesting, never knew that.

>>4750451
Last time I played OoT, I just circled around Dark Link, held left on the stick, and wailed on him with the sword. Didn't take a lot of damage, either.

>>4750451

You can kill him with the hammer from the fire dungeon.

>>4750451
Dont Z target him

>>4750463
Oh shit, I've seen zfg fight him several times and always wondered how he'd kill shadow link in low% runs so quickly. I thought he was abusing something.

Aonuuuuuuuuma...

>>4749547
No, nobody likes this.

>>4749547
Same. It's one of my favourite dungeons and I don't understand the meme at all.

>>4750453

hit him with the Giant's Knife to unlock the secret ending!

>>4750451

>Dont Z target him
I always thought this is the actual trick you're "supposed" to use. Not sure if that's how I did it the very first time, but at some point I noticed that you can get hits in that way.

>>4750451
Deku nuts rape him if you don't aim directly at him.
Stunlocks for days.

>>4749547
Despite the pausefest, it's a great dungeon

>>4749547
I liked it.

>tfw too stupid to figure out how to get into the factory

>>4749547
I'm currently at it on my re-playthrough and don't remember anything about it. It's a bit tedious and annoying, but I also like the more slow and methodical approach it takes in comparison to the other dungeons.

>>4750451
Somebody already mentioned the health thing, and you can get your shield eaten before entering the boss room. If you don't have a shield, he won't have a shield.

>>4751361
Now that I didn't know. Do you have to not have a shield in your inventory, or can you get your shield eaten, and then wait until you get into the fight and equip it then?

>>4750451
Seems like it was designed so the player would come up with their own strategy based on all the varying tips.

>>4750451
After all these years it really should be more common knowledge the you can beat him easily by not z targeting him.

The water temple isn't even hard, it's just boring. How much time do you spend in menus, or sinking/floating?

>>4750451
>whip out biggoron sword
>targetless horizontal slice
>smash through his shield and hit him

Me too. I guess I was lucky enough to notice the part people don't notice and gets them stuck.

I definitely liked it more than both the Spirit and the Shadow Temple.

>How much time do you spend in menus, or sinking/floating?
Probably not that much really, but it's the repetition of it that gives the impression of it being tedious, especially to impatient people.

>>4751107
Same. At first it was a bit unnerving, but once you get into it it's a great level.

I never had an issue with that dungeon or Navi.

Convinced people on the internet all smoke cock desu

>>4752758
Don't forget the shitty ocarina gimmick is in full force in that temple.

>>4749547
I liked it too, on 3DS.

I'm playing it on the wii u virtual machine and I get so frustrated with the controls. I don't know if they were better on the original N64. It's difficult to aim, to steer in a direct line, to have the camera turn where you want it to.
I'm at the boss of the shadow temple now and I got so frustrated I had to turn the game off.

>>4752758

Naw, even though the dungeon is fine you cannot deny the fact that you DO spend a lot of time in the menus, there are several situations where you open the menu, switch to the item screen and uequip them to rise, then walk for like three seconds and then opening the menu again to equip the damn things again. You WILL hear the menu sounds in your sleep after playing this dungeon. It makes it very teeeedious in the big main hall, luckily there are all those side paths where you don't have to use them much but some good old puzzling and platforming, and those compared with the really great design of the dungeon are the reason why it still is enjoyable despite the boots.

>>4753210

*combined, not compared

>>4753210
I still stand that the amount of time you spend in menues is still minimal compared to the rest of the dungeon.

>>4749547
It was my favorite shrine on my first playthrough. Possibly the only point of the game where paying attention was required.

>there are people begging for musical instruments to return for no reason other than it being traditional

I just don't feel like Zelda fans value fun sometimes. They only want muh immersion and things that remind them of Ocarina of Time.
