Top 10 Legend of Zelda Dungeons


hey listen when it comes to epic
questing these are the places to go
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 Legend of Zelda dungeons for this
list will be scouring the lengthy
history of the Zelda franchise in search
of the finest dungeons the games have to
offer be they 8-bit or modern fast in
scope or small and personal we found
that these with a cream of the crop in
terms of dungeon design
number ten
ancient cistern The Legend of Zelda
Skyward Sword all that glitters may not
be gold but this dungeon still impresses
serving as the fourth dungeon of Skyward
Sword the ancient cistern is initially a
marvelous site with its golden walls
massive Buddhist style statue and a vast
pool of water however players who
descend to the lower level will find a
visually darker dungeon waiting for them
guarded by cursed baka blends and
housing the six armed sword wielding
kakaako’s add to that the puzzles such
as a movable great statue and you have
both an atmospheric and appropriately
challenging dungeon number nine shadow
temple The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of
Time there’s nothing wrong with the
classics certainly not here
the shadow temple was one of five
temples built to house five of Hyrule’s
seven sages it’s a grim locale haunted
by the zombie-like redeads consisting of
invisible walls and floors that require
the lens of truth or the hover boots to
traverse surviving the various enemies
and morbid traps leads to a fight with
bongo bongo an evil spirit with detached
hands and a vulnerable big red eye it’s
darker than most but it still works here
number eight earth temple the legend of
zelda the wind waker our green tunic
wearing hero Lynx certainly isn’t
fearful about dark dungeons that’s for
sure the earth temple as the fifth
dungeon in the Wind Waker relies heavily
on one element sunlight
for once though link isn’t the lone
Dungeon Hunter as medley the harp player
is here to help you could even take
control of her in certain sections as
her harp acts as a reflective light
source and she can fly short distances
the whole experience is a ray of
sunshine
number seven the thieves hideout The
Legend of Zelda a link between worlds is
it irony that a thieves den is easily
broken into that password was more of a
rhyming game than a password am i right
regardless there’s something amusing
about the relative ease with which link
enters the thieves hideout even though
the real treat lies inside another
dungeon that you don’t experience
entirely alone to get through you must
help a thief girl escape making careful
use of the various conveyor belts and
carefully placed Bob’s number six Tower
of the Gods The Legend of Zelda the Wind
Waker
sometimes is not the destination but the
reward that makes the effort worthwhile
case in point this early dungeon in the
Wind Waker serves as the location of the
hero’s bow a valuable and iconic item
links journey up the tower puts him
through many tests from guiding the
Towers Guardians to a chamber to
activating switches with the use of
statues all in the pursuit of the bow
and the battle with the floating boss
codon serves as an effective final test
at once capping off an impressive
dungeon and proving that link is worthy
of his new tool
number-5 Ganon’s tower the Legend of
Zelda a link to the past
all good things must come to an end this
appears to be the guiding principle
behind this final dungeon in a Link to
the Past where ambling must traverse its
eight floors in order to complete his
quest along the way he and by extension
the player are faced by many of the
game’s enemies and the bosses of every
light world dungeon it’s a cathartic
surge of combat networks as the game’s
climax to say nothing of the intense
fight with the evil energy firing wizard
a Ganim number 4 sand ship The Legend of
Zelda Skyward Sword the desert can be a
dangerous place for travelers and it’s
here that that lesson becomes key once a
seafaring galleon the sand ship was
taken over by pirates and left stranded
in the Lennar EU desert by the time link
climbs aboard it’s deserted save for
lurking foes such as the scorpion like a
ratchet creating a tangible sense of
loneliness
perhaps the most sci-fi Zelda dungeon
ever the amazing time stone mechanic
lets you peer into the past and check
out the sand ship when it was in its
prime
number three arbiters grounds The Legend
of Zelda Twilight Princess
for dungeons in and Twilight Princess
shows the extent of its grim tone the
arbiters grounds are infested with
undead creatures ghosts and other ghouls
extending even to the boss star-lord a
giant reanimated skeleton this fits with
its origin as a prison for the world’s
worst criminals its most notorious
inmate being none other than Ganondorf
himself
by finding the spinner item and using it
to ride the scattered rales players can
hope to overcome this haunting yet
fascinating locale number 2 forest
temple the legend of zelda ocarina of
time tread lightly link for the road
ahead is uncertain at first glance the
forest temple resembles a Gothic style
mansion complete with red carpeted halls
and grand entrance yet venturing further
reveals its brilliant secret the temple
changes its layout based on flipping
switches floors become walls hallways
twist and turn and the temple itself
becomes a puzzle to figure out this
confusing layout makes the search for
the four ghost sisters you must bind
inside all the board tents before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
you
number one stone tower The Legend of
Zelda Majora’s Mask in the series
preoccupied with temples this is among
the finest on display
located in ikana canyon the eastern area
of the land of termina the stone tower
is the epitome of variety its puzzles
rely on many different elements from
fire to light to water requiring quick
switching through links various forms
the dungeon itself turns upside down at
the midpoint keeping things interesting
up to the battle with a monstrous insect
twin mold and the rewards are plentiful
light arrows the Giants mask and even
the powerful great fairy sword ASIS
Nintendo aces
