    Nothing from Skyward Sword mentioned on this list and rightfully so. The dungeons in that game (especially the Lanaryu Mining Facility) are some of the best moments I’ve experienced with the franchise
  • @JamaalSTL
    I’ve beaten Orcarina of Time SEVERAL times. The water dungeon still grinds my gears.
  • @ryanorielly5617
    The palace of twilight may not have the best gameplay but the aesthetic and atmosphere is incredible and not to mention the zant boss battle is incredible
  • I've noticed you put the more complex dungeons in the top, I can understand most ppl not liking them but for me personally i love them the most. Jubajuba in oracle of ages was super hard as i was like 8 when i got the game, sure it's hard but i think its those types of dungeons that have me enjoy Zelda more for the complex dungeons then the more combat oriented ones
  • @JordanMacKinnon
    I dread the Water Temple from Twilight Princess every time I play it. The rotating staircase drives me bonkers.
  • The water temple from ocarina of time is not bad or that bad at all, on a first playthrough sure, but other than that I found it easy.
  • Water temple is by far one of my favorites just due to the fact that you got to fight Dark Link and also because it was challenging
  • @k.b.7718
    I'm so sick of ppl still using OOT Water temple as an example of bad dungeons! It's AWESOME once the iron boots have been assigned as items in OOT 3D. Thumbs down!
  • Vah naboris is not boring or bad. It’s hard and that should be appreciated in a game
  • The Water and Great Bay Temples aren't really bad per se...they are well designed. However, they are definitely frustrating. Especially Great Bay Temple, which for some reason almost never gets the nod above Water Temple, which it should.
  • @Denz292
    I actually enjoyed Vah Nabooris and Thunderblight Ganon. While the divine beasts could have been themed like forest, fire, water, etc, it was fun fighting the dungeon, completing the dungeon and fighting the boss
  • @KRIZ·TEE
    Great Bay Temple wasn't that complicated, the waterwheel room only took you to two rooms in both directions it was spun
  • @SonicJrandSarah
    Oh wow. I didn't expect you'd include the Water Temple from Ocarina of Time or the Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask. I'm being sarcastic.
  • @andrewmartin917
    I liked the palace of Twilight, it's the best temple in the game (I might like it because of the epic Boss battle though)
  • @rpggamerguy9139
    There's no such thing as bad dungeons in Zelda games. There's just players who don't have what it takes to be heroes.
  • @kfirezrati807
    People need to understand the Water Temple is a great dungeon. Very good design just switching boots is annoying
  • I don’t boo Jabbu-Jabbu. It’s so memorable. Also, for me, the worst is Skull Woods from ALTTP. Baffling design had me looking like a skull.
  • @saggxnoah1979
    You can really tell that the people who made this really just dislike any dungeon that makes you think. Personally I found the Great Bay to be put together really well, it seriously isn't that bad. The Water Temple is hard as hell first time but on return it's more of an interesting, atmospheric labryinth I found most enjoyable. The Palace of Twilight may not be too interesting but atmospherically it is still far better than any original Zelda games which weren't mentioned here. One of the only things I agree with here is inside jabu jabu's belly.
  • @mylifein8bit
    I suppose to each there own but personally link to the past Ice Temple and OoT Water Temple are two of my favourite dungeons of the series. Majora Great Bay temple while not the greatest dungeon is a brilliant design that missed slightly on implementation.
