Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is infamous for its confusing layout, difficult key placement, and the cumbersome Iron Boots mechanic.
- The 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time addressed these issues by allowing players to map the Iron Boots to a button for quick use and improving camera angles to make the hidden Small Key more visible.
- These changes significantly improve the gameplay experience, making the Water Temple more enjoyable and easier to navigate without constant menu interruptions.
- The Water Temple's complex, open-ended design and unique features, like the Shadow Link battle, are praised as some of the best dungeon elements in the Zelda series.
- Fans anticipate that the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake will incorporate these fixes, restoring the Water Temple's reputation and shifting criticism to other dungeons like Jabu-Jabu.
