Am I the only one who didn't have any issues with this dungeon?

It was a bit confusing, yes, but nowhere near the level that everyone cries about.

new complaint is menu management. For a while emulators had the pause bug where it took forever to get in and out.

Same. I honestly would have forgot it was even in the game if people hadn't turned it into a meme. It's up there with the Shadow Temple in terms of completely forgettable parts of the game.

>> No.4150601

I never played oot when it came out, so I played it for my first time about 6 months ago.
When I got to the water temple I was pretty worried and dreading it because of what I kept hearing online, but when I did it and got to the end I was very confused about why people got so frustrated with it.
It's seriously not that bad and this is from a non-nostalgic opinion and it was played on the N64.

Nintenkids trying to make waves with their overblown complaints about difficulty of a forgettable gimmick level? Doesn't even hold a candle to how disproportionately out of wack complaining about this is.

It's hard for a blind run. Of course after having replayed the game many times (and many other sequels similar games over the past 20 years), I don't find it challenging anymore, but my first time on it back in the day was tough.
The dungeon itself is very tricky due to water levels, then there's also Dark Link (I lost many times before I decided to use the megaton. I know there's a way to cheese him with the master sword, I didn't know back then).
And then the boss, which took me a few times. Going back to the beginning of the dungeon is discouraging, and if you don't have the warp magic, even worse.
This temple is one of the most memorable moments in the game, frustrating or not, annoying or not, difficult or not, people always remember this one, and for good reason.
Plus, it's the temple with the best sage.

Mostly because I couldn't find a key for four-five hours, and I then decided to get out of the dungeon and found it at the entrance.

For me it was Fire Temple, got stuck there for weeks. I stopped playing the game for a while, and that dungeon creeped me out (I had the 1.0 version with muslim chanting music).
It was a pretty dumb thing too, I just had to make a short jump to leap to the edge of a higher platform to enter a door, in that one room with the jailed floor and the fire waves. I tried everything to get up there and in the end it was the most simple thing.
Whenever I replay OOT, Fire Temple is the one that makes me want to rush through it. Water Temple is so comfy, that music.

Honestly, I never really had an issue with this temple back when I first played the game, or when I replayed it a couple years ago. I thought Jabu Jabu's Belly was the worst dungeon in that game.

Agreed!

>>4151380
I personally hate it for a few reasons. One, the electric jellyfish enemies. Two, getting knocked down in those first few rooms. Third, it is basically an escort mission once you "rescue" the bitch. But she actively resists your efforts, makes you carry her. Just a few of the reasons I hate Jabu Jabu.

Hm, I get that. I find Dodongo's Cavern more tedious, though. I hate waiting for those fucking platforms to raise.

I can see that. But waiting for the platforms wastes several seconds, getting set back in Jabu Jabu wastes minutes.

The temple itself wasnt really that hard to begin with, I thought that the Fire temple was a little bit more tedious

Who remembers the most famous dungeon in teh game? No one.

But really, this and the barrel in Sonic 3 are memes. No one I knew growing up had problems with these parts and I never knew they were supposedly so confusing until years later.

Also I played through OoT two or three times and I hardly remember any of it so to me not only was it not confusing, it was generally unremarkable.

Ok serious talk here, why do people hate the water temple?

Water temple was my first experience with zelda. I went to my older cousin's house and he was in the water temple. It's ground zero and normal for me.

And I mean just look at it. >>4150767

Comfy cool hues. Comfy water caustics. Comfy asian architecture. Comfy atmospheric music. Comfy swimming pool.

I've never gotten lost or found changing water levels confusing.

I think like Disney, they keep the original footage in a vault to be released once a decade. Only instead of releasing the it for shekels, they release it for posterity's sake to show the levels of entitlement our brothers and sisters, past present and future, thought were acceptable.

I got stuck there like most people did, but eventually got the idea to look under that one floating platform and bingo. Never understood why people bitch about the temple to this day. Finding that one key is the only difficulty spike and once you know where it is, it is just another temple.

Sage is not a down vote. It's more like 'what I said is not important or off topic for the board so I will be polite and sage'

Those people are probably like my mom. It took her over a year to beat OoT because she kept falling into lava in Dodongo's Cavern and got lost in the Water Temple.
