at least, every dungeon.
I'm sorry, I don't think that game is a total wash but the dungeons are the worst in the zelda series, easily. They are a slog, a battle of attrition and there is nothing fun or memorable about them.
I'll go with something that hasn't been mentioned yet, but I really dislike Skull Woods from LTTP, IMO it's only real bad dungeon.
it's not really a level in the traditional sense, but i never want to touch those tadtones again.
I always thought of the Spirit Realm as one of the hightlights of Skyward.Every dowsing section in Skyward Sword
Every spirit realm section in Skyward Sword
Every Imprisoned fight in Skyward Sword
Damn, I loved the Water Temple as a kid! It was the first Adult Link dungeon that I completed!
Can't believe I forgot this one, I LOATHE the segments where you ride your block platforms across the rails avoiding firebars like it's Super Mario World, except you can't fudgin' jump!
The temple music tho
Perhaps my favorite Zelda dungeon of all time. I really like dungeons that have a central puzzle that you're working toward by accomplishing each smaller goal. (In this case it's causing water to flow through pipes back to the first room so that you can reverse the main water turbine.)
i'd be interested to hear what you like about them, compared to the first zelda or even other zelda games. it's the one that divirges completely from the formula and to my knowledge there are no real puzzles or interesting design in them, just a series of battles, map memorization, finding keys which never requires any kind of problem solving or anything remotely clever, and then some pretty much copy paste boss battles.I couldn't disagree with a post more than I can this one. I fucking loved the Zelda 2 palaces wayyyy more than than the dungeons in Zelda 1, granted I liked the game way more so that isn't a surprise to me. The bosses are great, the music is great, I do agree some later ones are a slog, but still loved them all. Except Thunderbird.....fuck Thunderbird.
N64 Water Temple = One of the worst
3DS Water Temple = One of the best

I'm legit curious what you like about it and what you think is better, outside of 'it's great' lol.
Meanwhile, Turtle Rock in Link's Awakening is sublime.
This is silly. The dowsing just replaces map markers.Every dowsing section in Skyward Sword
