reminder that Water Temple is perfect if not for iron boots swapping, so says the creator of Zelda

The water temple is good, there's nothing wrong with a little difficulty spike now and then, makes the game more memorable. If Ocarina of Time's water temple was easier it would also be more forgotten

>creator said thing so that means it's objective fact
Nah. It's shit and you're a niggerfaggot, OP.

He's right, gamers are simply retarded.

The constant boot swapping was only half the problem, the other problem was the stupid water-level swapping being annoyingly tedious and in the original N64 version, the switches had no labels on them so you just had to activate one, look what it did, and then try to remember that specific switch does that specific water level.

>>712851435
It IS an objective fact, don't you fucking pull no death of the artist post modernism crap. If an author made the cuirtins blue for no reason, then it has no reason, it's not because of some symbolism.

>>712851592
You only lower it once and raise it twice. If you do anything else more than that it's because your navigation skills are crap

>>712851753
Except you don't know that before playing the game for the first time you actual autistic fuck.

This guy >>712851679 is a fucking retard. I, the creator of this post, said it, so it's true.

It was fixed in the 3DS remake, so you can play the definitive version of the Water Temple

>>712853450
you figure it out while playing, Retard>>712853486

download mod
that has
arrows, hookshot,orcarina and iron boots on the directional pad and 90% of the problems with that level are fixed

>>712850989 (OP)
He's basically right. The Iron Boots are a chore, but the temple is self is really fun with a cool gimmick and great visual design and music.

>>712850989 (OP)
Aonuma didn't create Zelda you retard.
He wasn't involved at all with the first four games and was only one of many many devs on the fifth.
The fact that he gained absolute control over the franchise is mind-boggling and probably due to yakuza connections.

>>712850989 (OP)
I actually agree, when I played it I was really fucking confused after beating it because 4chan/reddit/other shitholes told me that it was fucking terrible and hard. Yeah, probably, if you were 6 years old.

>>712855635
Aonuma is responsible for all your favorite Zelda games

>>712855736
He's not responsible for A Link to the Past at all and had pretty much no involvement with Oracle of Ages. He did direct Twilight Princess but all evidence points to him making it against his will.

Why did the temple look like that though?

Every other temple has a reason: Forest temple is an abandoned mansion, Fire temple used to be some sort of foundry, Shadow temple was some fucked up torture chamber for hyrule's enemies, and Spirit temple was straight up an actual temple built to worship some goddess

But the Water temple? Why does it look like that? What is it supposed to even be?

>>712855935
ALTTP is nobody's favorite, try again.

>>712855983
It's the aqueducts of hyrule. There's a missed opportunity in using it to get into the bottom of the well I think.

I played ocarina for the first time last year. Also played Majora's Mask (Favorite game of series), Twilight Princess, 40 hours of Breath of the Wild and Wind Waker.

Water Temple is easily the best dungeon. I will admit I played the PC ship port which allowed me to assign dpad to items which made it very enjoyable.
But design, progression and puzzle wise it is easily the best one lads.

>>712856027
LttP is a classic you dumb nigger.

>>712855983
Maybe it's just a temple anon. Why does everything need to fit your cool fan theory? Maybe it's okay that some of them are arbitrarily "some other thing" and some of them are "actual temples" and some of them are something else.

>>712856192
of last century, retard

>>712855983
It always felt to me like some sort of water reclamation plant, but none of the creatures nor the boss mesh with that idea. Then again you also have weird shit like the fire scarecrows at the fire temple, so I just think most of the time they just threw a bunch of shit at the wall

I just want to jack off into the water until it's the Cum Temple.

>>712856278
That's the thing, it doesn't look like a temple either. The only temple in OoT that looks like a temple is the Spirit one

>>712856130
based, there's no bad water dungeon in the series outside of Ages

>>712856386
>nor the boss mesh with that idea
it's an amoeba, which is a protozoan which needs to be cleaned up to provide drinkable water

>>712856594
Ehhhh I guess

>>712850989 (OP)
It was. It's the best dungeon in the game, alongside Spirit and Forest.

I used to get mad at water temple
But now I got the key :)

Aonuma isn’t the creator of zelda and he’s also ruined the series

>>712855935
>ages over seasons
Ishygddt

>>712850989 (OP)
It is, and the 3DS fixed it.
Only other thing I would do is get rid of needing to use Zelda's Lullaby to activate the water level change, and relegate that to a switch instead.

>>712850989 (OP)
>thinking you can't disagree with a director
lol

>>712851435
Not even the creator, he just directed one aspect of the game.
There were 4 other directors on that game.

>>712856478
>it doesn't look like a temple
anon how do you know what a water temple is supposed to look like
are you an expert on the people of hyrule
no

the water temple was kino though. I'm not even just saying that to be contrarian. Water levels in vidya are fun and I'm tired of pretending they're not

>>712850989 (OP)
the water temple also had some absolute fucking bullshit like passages hidden behind chests that you couldnt see unless for some reason you walked behind them

>>712850989 (OP)
Zoomerposting, I played OoT for the first time totally blind a couple years ago and found the water temple very easy. Took me like half an hour maybe. Swapping boots was a little annoying but that's about it. Millennials and gen xers are just shit at video games.

>>712850989 (OP)
It’s weird, I have a zoomer brain that played OoT on 3DS for the first time back when I was 12 or 13 and I had no issues with the water temple at all. Maybe a lot of people just struggled because it was their first 3D Zelda?

>aonuna: "sorry for so many menus pausing the action in the water temple"
>also aonuma: breath of the wild, a known menu simulator
epic way to show apology

>>712864889
Is this AI? What the fuck is happening with the dude's tongue on the left

>>712851679
>It IS an objective fact
Anon by that metric any time any creator of anything says it was good criticism otherwise is invalidated.
Before you irony post a Yes. consider that means the latest mainstream consumer trash you despise falls under the same category considering how many interviews have the staff all unanimously agree they did their best work on this installment same as the last and the next.

Nah. Sometimes the creator has more insight into things the audience doesn't, which makes the latter less equipped to judge the former, sure, but sometimes the familiarity a creator has means they lack the experience of audience novelty and are less capable of judging objectively from that stance.

>>712850989 (OP)
People who think the water temple is hard likely never looks at the map and has poor mental mapping skills

>>712850989 (OP)
He's right. It's the best designed temple, way ahead of its time. The boots just suck.

>>712865868
This is very true also

>>712864779
there was a quality of life update for the 3DS version. in the original N64 version, you could only equip and remove the boots by accessing the pause menu, and it couldn't be bound to an item button, so players would have had to pause and unpause the game dozens of times more than necessary throughout the dungeon.
thematically it's a beautiful dungeon and has an interesting water level control mechanic, but there weren't any other location in the entire game which required so many pauses and unpauses.
