How does vanilla water temple compare to the master quest version?
My only playthrough of OoT was Master Quest, so I can't really compare the two.
>>344876857
Even without the Master Quest temple as reference, I dont even get the 'meme' of Water Temple being INSANELY HARD OH MY GOD LETS RAGE ABOUT IT
If you have a basic sense of direction and use the Mini-Map, I see no reason why you should get stuck.
The only thing 'annoying' is going through your first time and having to constantly play the Ocarina and change the water depth.
>>344874851
The water temple in MM was worse.
>>344877151
I imagine that one spot where you raise the water level in the central room and a platform rises with it, and you're meant to go in the hole the block USED to be in throws a lot of people since it's not easy to see and you don't even notice the platform rose.
But then, the last time I even played OoT was in 1998 so I can't remember for certain.
>>344874851
God damn these guys seem obnoxious as all hell.

I played Ocarina of Time when I was 12 and haven't since, but I had no trouble with the water temple. Great Bay Temple in Majora's Mask, however, gave me a bit of trouble. Even then, though, it wasn't all too much.
>>344877543
You don't see it.
In the 3DS remake, they explicitly made a cutscene SHOWING the platform rise and the hole it was in for that reason.
I remember being exasperated with the Water Temple, but didn't really find it hard, even as a kid.
That fucking whirlpool river room with the little ledge was the most annoying fucking thing for me.
It's kind of annoying because the game is clearly not designed for switching boots on the fly and the hardware takes a bit to open the menu every time, but it never has been some kind of non-euclidean monstrosity like everyone makes it out to be
I had a friend who told me he had to restart the whole dungeon because the water level got stuck somewhere and he couldn't progress - motherfucker, just warp out! It resets the water level!
It could be better if the boots were an item like in TP, but fuck, it isn't a bad dungeon. It's still pretty cool that you can't swing a sword in the water.
>>344877151
Opening your inventory constantly is pretty annoying, too.
Do you guys really believe Reggie played Ocarina of Time? His answer "I found it pretty straight forward" feels kind of like a lie?

>>344876857
Master quest version is actually easier.
Its the Master Quest forest temple which is a kick in the fucking balls.
>>344878435
The dungeon is straight forward, it's just that nearly everyone misses that second key towards the end, which causes you to run around like a maniac trying to figure out what to do.
>>344874851
I want to punch that faggot with the glasses, his voice is horrid
>>344877151
It isn't hard, it's just tedious to change boots every so often since bringing up the pause/inventory isn't as quick and smooth as other games.
>people actually thought that it was possible to make it unbeatable
Who was the retard who thought that? And don't give that excuse that you were just a kid at the time, the game is designed to be beaten by kids.
Was Dark Link bugged? I remember reading a walkthrough saying Dark Link was a challenging fight, but he never attacked me at all. i just used the Big Goron Sword to kill him without taking any damage.
>>344881678
I th ink the Biggoron sword and the hammer fucks him up. If you use the Master Sword then he keeps blocking your attacks and stands on your sword.
>>344877857
That change was bullshit, one of my only complaints about the remake. Might as well not even have a puzzle at that point.

The water temple is slow but not particularly challenging. Even in terms of plain navigation I got lost more often in the forest temple too.

Water Temple is easily one of the top 3 dungeons in the game.
Grand palace > Water temple.
The only thing infuriating about Water Temple is not noticing the Song-o-Time block the first time.
And they put it in the most tedious room you can return to later.
It's not hard. It's just annoying, which arguably is far worse, but it's not hard.
>>344884302
Been a while since I've played the Master Quest
What's so fab about it?
OP, you do realize you could have simply appended #t=321s to the link, right?
>>344885904
For some reason this artwork of shadow link unsettles me, it's like he has no right hip and the other leg hangs off like it's dead
>>344887148
It's like the Second Quest in the first Zelda game for NES. The Nintendo developers threw everything into a blender and concocted a ROM hack of the main quest.
Stupid clowny shit like cow heads in Jabu-Jabu's Belly or 3 Stalfos in the Water Temple.
Why does Reggie always seem like he's gonna kill somebody?
>>344888175
He can feel whenever someone fucks up at NoA, but he can't tell precisely who.
