You want a red-hot take about The Legend of Zelda? I've got one for you right here: I don't think the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is as bad as people make it out to be. Okay, having to constantly take the Iron Boots on and off is a huge pain in the butt, and it can be a bit of a pain to explore given the changing water levels, but it's not that bad.
Hmm… Maybe it is pretty bad. But not as bad as people say. I stand by that. There are certainly worse dungeons in the game.
Anyway, with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's remake expected to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 before the end of the year, gamers are already keenly discussing what they do or don't want to see changed from the original game. Naturally, the Water Temple has come up more than a few times.
In the original Ocarina of Time, the Water Temple is considered a drag, and it's not hard to see why. This lakebed temple involves Link changing the water level so that he can reach new areas. Most rooms in the temple...
