....about underwater levels? Are they always a no-no or can they be done well, and if so what are some examples.

I thought the water temple in OoT was good. Deal with it.

>> No.732781

if they have basically the same physics as regular levels, that's fine. But when you get into "time limit or you drown," "you can't attack while underwater," "enemies are three times as fast as you while underwater," or "underwater is where we decided to place our surplus spike pits," then it becomes an issue.

>underwater levels/levels with water boundries always scared me as a kid

I don't even know why, but i remember the shark from Banjoo Kazooie in the beach level scared the fuck out of me.

I generally don't mind them now as long as there's none of this >>732781

Same, I think OoT's Water Temple is my favorite dungeon from the game. I also like MM's water dungeon, but I'll admit that that one gets a little tedious.
