Legend of Zelda What is your favorite Zelda dungeon?

[Clownbot]

That was the Wind Temple.

But I get them mixed up sometimes too. Funny how the winged girl is the Earth Sage and the Tree-Person is the Wind Sage. 9_9

 

[Matt07]

The Spirit Temple by far! Like Skyler said, going through as a child, and then as an adult, was a really cool concept. And the music for it was just too good.

 

[MattV1]

I honestly can't narrow it down. I'd have to go by game:

LoZ: Level 6
AoL: Swamp Palace
ALttP: Misery Mire
LA: Face Shrine
OoT: Spirit Temple
MM: Stone Tower Temple
OoS: Sword & Shield Maze
OoA: Skull Dungeon
TWW: Earth Dungeon
TMC: Palace of Droplets
TP: Arbiter's Grounds
PH: Mutoh's Temple
ST: Fire Temple

 

[Luigitoilet]

I love Level 6 in LoZ just because it's a breath of relief after the ball-busting difficulty of Level 5.

 

[Underload]

Snowpeak Ruins (TP) is by far my favorite Zelda dungeon. I don't even know why, there's just something about the area, the storyline, the layout, and the boss together that just... fits.

 

[shadowboii]

Stone tower in MM.

The moment when the whole world is flipped upside down is the exact moment that I know I cannot put the Zelda series down.

 

[Spire]

The 2D games' dungeons just aren't memorable at all to me. I don't remember any of them save certain rooms and obstacles here and there, though I have absolutely no idea what dungeons they belong to.

 

[shadowboii]

It's harder to remember specific ones in 2D games since they're usually very similar, but OoA has some great dungeons though.

 

[Kintenbo]

Stone Tower was pretty cool. It turned upside-down and didn't afraid of anything.

 

[Ciro67]

Stone Temple in MM is probably my favourite

 

[ranmaru]

Forest Temple in OoT. That is my favorite.

 

[kkinelle]

My favorite is The Great Bay Temple.

I'm torn between MM's Stone Tower and LoZ's Spirit Temple. I love the music and the (forgive the pun) twist that blew my mind. And reaching the top gave you a sense of accomplishment. But then Spirit Temple has Adult Link and Young Link, and gives you 2 items, the Mirror Shield and the Golden Gauntlets. Not to mention fighting Iron Knuckles.

 

[Luigitoilet]

My favorite is The Great Bay Temple.

I absolutely HATE this temple. It stumped me way more than OoT's water temple and it was the only point in any of the dungeons where I had to reset the clock (the first time I played ).

But man, I just still hate it. It's so annoying. It's ugly, the enemies range from irritating to really irritating, the navigation was horrible with the pipes and water flow. It definitely didn't make the most out of the Zora mask either.

 

[Beware the Jabberwocky]

My glorious list:

1: Spirit Temple (OoT)
2: Sky Temple (TP)
3: Temple #3 (ALttP)
4: Forest Temple (OoT)
5: The Well (OoT... I know, it's not a temple. But it counts as a dungeon!)
6: Jabu Jabu's Belleh! (OoT)

... uh. There's probably more, but I cant think of them all right now. I'll come back and update later!

 

[Spire]

I just noticed something very peculiar about the Temple of Time's design in Twilight Princess, so I cooked up this image:

The chamber in the ToT above is located at the very "back" of the Temple, effectively hidden from the rest of it. The Pantheon in Rome was designed so that from the outside, you could not see the dome, so upon entering, you would be absolutely bewildered over its divine design. It was supposed to make you feel in awe of the gods, just as the Temple of Time serves.

 

[Banjodorf]

Well, after getting through it again on TP, I have to say my favorite dungeon is still the Arbiter's Grounds.

They just captured desert + undead really well, and the whole Zant summoning Stallord thing was just really ******.

<3 Arbiter's Grounds.

And the Spinner is an extremely unique item to a Zelda game, always a plus.

 

[ThePoet]

Water Dungeon, in any game

 

[Tokaio]

Forest Temple in OoT. Water Temple in MM comes pretty close though.

 

[RavenMist]

♪ Sky Temple in TP, it confuused me at first now i know it by heart :D ♪

-Raven

 

[The Blob That Eats Everything]

i really liked the water temple.... it was pretty dang fun!! -.- everyone else seems to hate that temple a lot though lol ^_^"

 

[Charmander]

The spirit temple.
it has cobras, I rest my case.

 

[aroperdope]

both turtle rocks (zelda 3 & links awakening) sorry, couldn't decide

 

[UnholyWeapon]

Turtle Rock temple from a link to the past

The spirit temple from OoT


and..

the great bay temple from Major's mask.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Forest Temple in OoT.

Primarily for its music, but also because it feels more like an abandoned mansion than a temple.

 

[Mr.Freeman]

Temple of Time, son!

Seems like the closest thing to a church in Zelda, what with the holy choir singing at the entrance.

 

[Atria]

Yeeeeearrrgggghhhh! This question is a toughie... XD

Darn. I like too many. Lol. I guess I'll name my top 10.

Turtle Rock (LA)
Angler's Tunnel (LA)
Catfish's Maw (LA) (Fighting the Stalfos Master 4 times in a row was lolz.)
Shadow Temple (OoT)
Spirit Temple (OoT)
Wind Temple (WW)
Great Bay Temple. (MM) (My friend came to me for help on this one. XD)
Turtle Rock (ALTTP)
Arbiter's Grounds (TP)
Skull Dungeon (OoA)

Special Mention
For Lolz: Eagle's Tower (LA): as an enemy. (FTMFW. XD)

 

[Spire]

Temple of Time, son!

Seems like the closest thing to a church in Zelda, what with the holy choir singing at the entrance.

That's because it's based on the Roman Pantheon, which is now a Roman Catholic church. Following the Roman classic period came the Byzantine era, which ushered in a slew of cathedrals built in Roman-like styles, but in honor of the Christian religion rather than Roman paganism. Following the Byzantine era were the Medieval, Romanesque, and Gothic periods which continued to perfect the Christian church. I posted this before, but I'll do so again:

 

[Brawler17]

Argh... I... dont... know!

It could be anything!

....... I'll just go with OoT's forest temple as my top favorite temple in the world!

It is the temple with the greatest mystery in the game. A weird, topsy-turvy mansion in one of the densest magical forests in all the world. We all know that when a Hylian enters the lost woods, he will become a Stalfos, so how in the world did a huge manmade mansion get into the forest? Why it is there and how it got there is constantly in your mind. Whats more, the temple revolves completely around four magical poe sisters, known only as the "poe sisters." They are as mysterious as the mansion itself. The overall atmosphere in the temple is fantastic. The music feels wild-yet-uniform, perfectly mimicking that the temple is a huge uniform mansion being taken back by the wild woods. The twisted hallways and upside down rooms bring up more questions about the temple's purpose, and point to a more sinister plot.

The temple itself feels bigger and grander than even the Hyrule castle itself, pointing to a more advanced race of people who either died or was consumed by the forest itself. That might be a stretch, but thats how I felt, anyways.

Over all, just a very good temple. It was challenging, it had slightly difficult puzzles, and got an A+ in good wholesome Zelda atmosphere.

i never thought about it like that but i love that temple!
mainly cuz it introduced Phantom Ganon (oot not ww i didn't like ww's) he is my favorite zelda character!

 

[Mini Mic]

Anyone who said Water Temple (OoT version) is more likely than not a sadist.

Stone Tower and Snowhead were amazing. Forest and Shadow temples for being so unsettling. Whatever the Dragon Roost one was called too and the Fire one in TP.
