am i the only person who never found the water temple to be all that hard? sure it was a little bit tedious but its not hard at least not anywhere near as much as people seem to bitch and moan about
Water Temple exposed that there's two types of Zelda players: those that could read the dungeon maps and those that couldn't.
Depends on if you find all the iron keys hidden in random nooks/crannies/hidden blocks.
>>740964919All the common knowledge of 90s games are now memes that are 100x more exaggerated in importance than they originally were
>>740964919It was pretty tough when I was 9. But now that I'm 35, it's not so bad.
All it took was putting iron boots on a C button to take out all the annoyance.
The water temple is one of the best dungeons in the game. If someone says its bad, I immediately disregard their opinions as inferior to mine.
When did you first play this? Most people who "bitch and moan" about it aren't literally complaining that they can't beat it now, they're relaying their experience of playing this for the first time when they were like 8. No, as an adult, it's by no means overly difficult.
>>740965749i agree it was a good 2 hours on the first run and now about an hour
>>740964919nope, it's about as complicated as wet-dry world in mario 64 but nobody ever bitched about that
>>740964919It wasn't difficult at all. The only part I got stuck on was that stupid fucking plate that raises with the water level in the central tower.
>>740965749if the temple didn't have dark link, it would've been complete assthe enemies were really fucking boring too, just a ball with spikes and a clam, the boss monster looks like shit too
>>740964919Great Bay Temple is worse.
>>740966068dont forget the fact if you stand n a certain place it cant touch you
Can't you get softlocked?
>>740966305no
>>740964919it's mostly the one missable key under the block in the middleyou miss it and then you're running in circles through all water levels and floorsit's easily missable because the path is blocked at low water level and you can forget to check again again at highr levels
>>740966374ya but after the first time you would make a mental note of this it would cost at most 30 minutes if you had brain fog
>>740966305No but you don't need all the keys to beat the temple.You can waste keys in the many optional rooms and need to get other keys.
>>740964919Its impossible for children.
>>740964919Funny how the dungeon is much better paced in Master Quest.
>>740964919>>740966112Water dungeons in Zelda usually sucks ass.
>>740964919I honestly have more trouble with the Forest Temple these days.
>>740966459I couldn't say how many times I've played this game, vanilla or random, and I have definitely fucked that key up ten playthroughs deep
>>740964919not sure how to explain this to somebody who didn't exist in the 1990's, but some of us didn't have infinite time as kidsfind somebody, make them go in blind and do one 20 minute session a day, see how long it takes to clear the temple
>>740966781>20 minute session what the fuck did your parents have you doing that left you wit only 20 minutes free as a kid?
>get fire arrows in zora lake>get ice arrows in gerudo desert>get light arrows from zelda asswhat
>>740966781it takes you less than an hour niggeryou already know the gist of the game by the time you get to the water temple
>>740966945its pretty well known the ice arrows where originally in the ice cavern but got moved when they decided to make them useless
>>740966861>school>homework >go the fuck outside you're driving me insane
>>740966945i think they added them as a test thingthey are completely fucking useless in the game
>>740964919I struggled with the shadow and light temple much more than the water temple
>>740964919I replayed the game two weeks ago for the first time in years. The key in the bombable wall in the area above where you meet Ruto is the only key where you specifically have to backtrack in a way that feels unnatural. All the other keys you could come across naturally in gameplay, you kinda have to go out of your way to get set the water to get that one. I imagine that's the key which fucked up so many kids back in the day, also because it doesn't show up as an unvisited room on the map.
>>740967239>go the fuck outside you're driving me insaneso you here loud and wild and made yourself impossible to ignore? what about summers and weekends? your parents where assholes
>>740964919Nothing in OoT is hard. The problem is exactly that it's tedious.
It's a noticeable jump in difficulty, but more damning is that its fucking annoying because of the iron boots menuing. Also back then lots of people didn't have the internet or know what a GameFAQs even was, so if you got stuck you got stuck, which is why lots of people quit.Basically if you grew up with the 3DS version you didn't truly experience OoT
>>740967619Iron boots menuing pales im comparison to the menuing in LA which was pretty much the whole game
>>740964919Nobody with an IQ in the triple digits got filtered by the water temple, anyone claiming it's le hard is outing himself as a retard.
>>740964919I thought it was hard, but I prefer my dungeons to be on the challenging side, so the Water Temple became my favorite.
>>740968194This. Until OoT introduced the ability to equip three items at a time, the whole series was pretty much pausing and choosing a different item every couple of seconds. Yeah, switching your boots sucked, but that was one dungeon.
>>740968285i think i had a harder time finding the iron boots in the first place than the temple as a whole
>>740968443>pausing and choosing a different item every couple of secondsit's amusing how botw/totk made this problem even worse
>>740966112>>740966727 filtered
>>740964919There was one key where like 50% of players missed it and had to backtrack (meaning doing the whole water level thing again) to get.This is what the reputation is for and yes, it's widely overblown.
>>740967414lol are you fucking retarded?
>>740969009no one would tell you you where driving them insane unless you where doing some unhinged shit is it so hard to stay in your room and be quiet?
>>740965749Agreed. Water Temple Hard is the ultimate thumbnail meme.
>>740968443That's a good point>>740968594Agreed, especially if you're a retard like me and have to obsessively switch to your weakest weapon to save the good ones for later. I've had a diamond infused sword in my inventory for probably 50 hours despite having diamonds falling out of my ass
>>740968194>>740967619This was really bad in the Oracle games too.
>>740964919It's not hard unless you're a brainlet but it's annoying for sure. You have to pause the game and equip/unequip the iron boots too much.
>>740964919LINK REMEMBER TO EQUIP YOUR IRON BOOTS TO GO DOWN INTO WATER
>>740966861most days I did not even get 20 minutes to myself because of homework and language classes
>>740969978and what do you now do for a job?
>>740968594>it's amusing how botw/totk made this problem even worseWe got cucked out of the superior BotW because of the Switch, it was originally designed around the Wii U gamepad like WWHD. Then when they ported it to the Switch this feature got axed because oops can't have the last gen version be superior to our next gen version
>>740968594why do games have this necessity to have crafting systems and cooking systemsit's always broken as fuck and makes the game incredibly easy, even for Zelda standards
>>740965952This here is the only difficult part, noticing that the room has changed beneath the surface of the water
>>740970268it's fun. makes you feel connected with the world.
EH REHEH REHEH...REEEEEHHHHHH
>>740966861Being responsible parents preventing a video game addiction?
>>740970087stuff
>>740969978This nigga needs classes to speak.
