Dungeon Discussion #1: Forest Temple - Ocarina of Time

Hey Zelda fans! In an effort to bring heavy discussion to r/zelda, I proposed an idea for discussion threads each centered on a particular dungeon or temple in the entire Zelda franchise. In addition to positive feedback from a handful of users, the mods here have given their seal of approval to have the threads stickied to further promote the exchange of ideas and opinions. 3D, side-scroller, or old fashioned top-down, I hope for this to be the first step in breaking down these pivotal environments of the Legend of Zelda franchise!

Here's a bunch of key discussion points to take into account when critiquing:

• Overall Look and Theme of the Dungeon
• Bosses and Mini-bosses: Difficulty, Creativity, Innovation
• Key Items of the Dungeon and their Application
• Enemy Type (Difficulty, Uniqueness, Number)
• Overall Length, Diffficulty, and Flow of the Dungeon
• Puzzles: Difficulty, Creativity, Innovation
• Potential for Exploration vs Linear Design
• Replayability
• Storyline Implcations
• Dungeon Theme Music and Atmosphere

After your input, feel free to throw in a bid for Dungeon #2! Thread posted next Wednesday

In the first, unofficaial Dungeon Discussion, a few ideas were thrown out for what dungeon we were to discuss in this installment of the thread. Though there weren't a ton of pitches, there seemed to be no opposition against the eventual selection:

Dungeon #1

Forest Temple

• Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Forest Temple Theme
• Boss: Evil Spirit from Beyond Phantom Ganon
