Top 5 Zelda Dungeons - Zeltik 

Can we just appreciate how awesome it is in Twilight Princess that there's a dungeon in the temple of time??? Like the same temple as ocarina of time, but now there's a giant tower inside of it???

Id have put Arbiters Grounds from twilight princess in here somewhere

Twilight Princess had some pretty neat dungeons too. I remember Arbiter's Grounds and Twilight Palace being pretty cool. And the snow one was dope too, being a mansion and all.

1: Stone Tower Temple 2: Ancient Cistern 3: Spirit Temple 4: Arbiter’s Grounds 5: Great Bay Temple

Spirit temple OOT was the best You played as young link and adult link and with the story of the sage and the witches? Awsome!!!

Honest, The Yeti's palace on Snow Peak was my favorite. I think it is the Yeti that make it for me, they are just so sweet, and have Link running around collecting ingredients for the worst sounding soup ever.

My favorite dungeons are Arbiter’s grounds and Snowpeak ruins from twilight princess. I like them so much because of the amazing dungeon items, the bosses, and the design.

Honestly the skykeep dungeon In skyward sword is my favorite. The whole concept of a dungeon with moving rooms is so cool, and the fact that you collect all 3 pieces of the triforce in it is really cool too

My list: 5. Sandship 4. Ancient Cistern 3. Arbiter's Grounds 2. Spirit Temple 1. Snowpeak Ruins

My favorite dungeon is the stone tower temple

Forest temple's music always gives me chills and goosebumps. When I played the game as a kid I was scared af during that temple

Where's Stone Tower dungeon? It at least deserves honorable mention for being so massive

"Minish cap is my favorite zelda" I said outloud to an audience of no one "What?!"

I understand why you didn't include TP dungeons. Because that game alone would fill up the whole top 5 list.

5. Temple of Time (TP) 4. Shadow Temple (OoT) 3. Spirit Temple (OoT) 2. Snowpeak Ruins (TP) 1. Arbiter's Grounds (TP)

07:07 This sentiment is incredibly sensitive and powerful. There's something extremely fascinating about really mysterious stuff that's been there all along, not in some distant place or in the unknown frontier, but in places you thought you knew forever. Love that. And I absolutely feel the same way about the Forest Temple and always have since the game first came out. Similar to this, the Temple of Time from Twilight Princess is a strong candidate for this list. Very intelligent dungeon layout, an intriguing puzzle concept and great atmosphere, and it's an incredibly mystical place, heavy with meaning and ancient history, and it's basically right around the corner where Link grew up in that game.

arbiters grounds, city in the sky, and snow peak ruins (all from tp) are all some of my favorites, along with the forest temple (oot)

Wow dude, I completely agree on your reasoning for Forest Temple. It conveys some feelings that are difficult to put into words, but you do a good enough job of doing just that.

My list: 1. Twilight Princess, the whole game.

My favorite is the snowpeak mansion from TP. The ball and chain was awesome, I liked the fact that the dungeon was just a mansion that got taken over by monsters, the whole mirror quest that ends up making soup was a cool central mechanic to build a dungeon around, and do I even need to mention the boss fight with its epic music?

my top: 1- city in the sky (TP) 2- tower of ganon (ALTTP) 3- Tower of gods (WW) 4- level 1 (Zelda NES) 5- Castle of Hyrule (TP) l

I love how you have the dungeon names appear in the style of BotW Shrine names. Nice tough!

5. Ganon's Tower (OoT). It's my favorite final dungeon in the series (though Hyrule Castle from TP is a very close second). 4. Arbiter's Grounds (TP). Good atmosphere, cool item, a fantastic boss, and an iconic location used in future events in the game. What's not to love? 3. Woodfall Temple (MM). The Stone Tower gets a lot of well-deserved love, but there a few parts that always annoy me (ie. That one timed mirror shield puzzle). The Woodfall area may not have as much atmosphere as Ikana, but I really enjoy the temple itself. It also doesn't feel like a tutorial, which is a great departure from some other first dungeons in the series. 2.Thieves' Hideout (LttP). What can I say? I really liked the fakeout with the girl, and I liked fighting a boss that some NPCs talked about in Kakariko. It may not be one of the best dungeons in the series, but it is a personal favorite. 1. The Spirit Temple (OoT). I tried to keep it one per game, but I couldn't help myself here. A sage doubling as the miniboss, the hover boots, the mirror shield, the iron knuckles, and the twin boss fights were all fantastic. It feels climatic because of the struggle to reach the dungeon and because of the area's connection with Ganondorf. I also really like that Kaepora acknowledged Link's growth at the end of the child half. It just feels right he calls young Link a man, showing that it's his adventure and not the time skip that led to him maturing.

Favorite dungeons 5shadow temple 4 arbiters grounds twilight princess 3 fire temple skyward sword 2 water shrine breath of the wild 1 temple of time twilight princess And best of all achent cistern skyward sword

Good list. I also love the thema and atmosphere of the forest temple. It is such a magic place.

Cant wait for the BotW Dungeons :D Here is my Top 5 ^^ 5. _Snowpeak Ruins (Twilight Princess)_ 4. _Stone Tower Temple (Majoras Mask)_ 3. _Palace of Winds (Minish Cap)_ 2. _Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword)_ 1. _Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)_

Forest temple is also my favourite, for the same reasons. The aesthetic design and the beautifully sinister music - it is somehow foreboding and awe inspiring at the same time, almost as if it paralyses you with its beauty. It represents that things are not what they seem. It is not only that it is hidden in the sacred forest meadow as a surprise that makes it so great. Like you said we associate the Kokiri forest with the safety of childhood but what a perfect introduction to the first adult dungeon. The monsters and puzzles are a step up from the child dungeons and I don't think the first dungeon could have been done in a better way. What I love about Ocarina of time is that the narrative affects the game-play, becoming an adult allows you to wield the hookshot (this is not explained well but I like that adult link has specific items). You feel like the game-play is not arbitrary. Though the dungeon is not spectacular in its design, there are some touches I really love - the wallmasters, the twisting hallways, the Poe puzzles and Phantom Ganondorf (a terrific boss fight). Everything is about illusion and I think that's what becoming an adult is about. Seeing the naive ways of understanding the world as a child collapse in front of you, giving way to overwhelming complexity, and suffering, and still in the face of that you must carry on.

5. Goron Mines (the way they utilized the Iron Boots in this dungeon was just, wow!) 4. Arbiter's Ground 3. Stone Tower Temple (how can that not be on any list? The music alone is amazing and the real life example of the Tower of Babylon is fascinating.) 2. Ancient Cistern 1. Shadow Temple (introduction to spooky and in my opinion, no other temple made me feel like how the Shadow Temple makes me feel. Okay, Dark Woods from Link Between Worlds did it and that one is an honorable mention. But for nostalgic reasons and how it ties into the dark side of Hyrule, it has to be on my list.)

I love the dungeons with a darker feel in most of the games, I actually really enjoyed some of the dungeons from A link between worlds

Was it the Ice Palace or Ice Ruins that I love so much in Twilight Princess?

Its a hard one, but I think Im going with this; 5. Swamp Palace (ALttP) 4. Snowpeak Ruins (TP) 3. Great Bay Temple (MM) 2. Arbiter's Grounds (TP) 1. City in the Sky (TP)

Really good list zelik here are my favorite dungeon in Zelda 15 snowhead temple 14 forest temple tp 13 earth temple ss 12 eagle tower 11 ice ruin 10 wind temple 9 earth temple ww 8 shadow temple 7 temple of time tp 6 arbiter grounds 5 ancient cintrens 4 stone tower temple 3 sprit temple 2 fire sanutray 1 fire temple

man the forest temple music is so good, brought back memories

YESSSSS. The forest temple is easily my favorite. So happy to see this at number 1.

6:18 mentions the shadow temple, shows the royal family's tomb. 😅 still cool though, deffo agree on forest temple being first.

Bro your a saint as I watched this I was really looking for the forest temple as #1 😆💯🙌🎉

no stone temple from majora's mask?! the use of all the masks to get through the temple? alongside the hidden lore of Akana valley?! come on man!

I liked A Link to the Past's Turtle Rock dungeon. It got built up as a big deal even before you enter it, where you were told that Zelda would be in Tutle Rock, and the presentation of the dungeon entrance was great. I loved the look of opening up the dungeon using the Quake Medallion. I also liked the puzzles involving the platforms you make that move along rails, they were often like a test of courage, knowing that you'll be stuck on the platform and it will move entirely on its own and you don't know where the end of its track is, and it forces you to think on your feet. The boss looked quite impressive too, with its fire and ice dragon heads. And it's pretty satisfying that you save Zelda there, after she's spirited away to the Dark World right before your eyes much earlier and you've had to go through 7 dungeons to get to this point.

5. Great Bay Temple (Majora's Mask): I KNOW, right? But once you figure out the mechanic, I find that this place is actually super fun, and I really don't mind the final boss. Plus I like swimming as Zora Link. 4. City in the Sky (Twilight Princess): The music is hypnotic, you're in a constant state of "Oh my God I'm going to fall out of the damn sky!", and the Occaa are chicken people, so what more do you want out of life? 3. Earth Temple (Skyward Sword): Again, music, but I love the atmosphere here, plus the boss is really cool and fast-paced. 2. Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time): It was either this or the Spirit Temple, but this one is harder so it's more rewarding in the end. 1. Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword): Go and look up the Buddhist parable of the Spider's Thread and you'll understand this Temple's backstory, plus it's just GORGEOUS. It's hard to find an extended mix of the music online though, which is a real shame because, again, the mythological atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired.

YESSS! Before i even watched the video, i was saying to myself, "please include the forest temple from ocarina of time!"

Personally I really loved ancient cistern

Arbiters grounds from TP was definitely very awesome!!

Loved the Spirit temple from OOT. The theme is amazing and something about sharing a temple with adult link and young link is awesome to me.

I really enjoyed that explanation for the Forest Temple, thanks for making it

Twilight Princess has the best dungeons in the series IMO. Surprised I didn't see any here from that game.

When you realize the water temples are essentially giant toilets.

I think the water temple in Twilight Princess deserves a nod. Using the staircase to manipulate the flow of water creates some really cool puzzles. The final boss is truly something to behold, especially when you find out it's actually 10X bigger that you originally thought! A true horror from the abyss of the ocean.

I just found this channel and it is wonderful, and also realizing that wind waker is someone else’s all time favorite game is wonderful to know

I've only played the 3D Zelda titles yet, so here's my top 5 dungeons :D 5. Snowpeak Ruins (_Twilight Princess_) 4. Ancient Cistern (_Skyward Sword_) 3. Forsaken Fortress (_Wind Waker_) 2. Sandship (_Skyward Sword_) 1. City in the Skies (_Twilight Princess_)

On the one hand, this was a fantastic video. On the other hand, it would've been even more fantastic if you had made it a top ten rather than top five. Either way, I'm super glad I subscribed! This is easily my favorite Zelda channel on RU-vid.

Glad to see someone showing forest temple some love, Always Was my favorite aswell, the music and design just gives such a cool atmosphere!

Literally love all your content bro! You've earned a subscriber!

I actually prefer the Wind Temple myself, but I like Arbiter's Grounds too.

Damn wind temple from wind waker got snubbed, thats the best dungeon in the whole game

I absolutely LOVED the desert temple in ALBW. Its music was some of the best (but then there's hidden village)

My top 5 would be: 1. Arbiters Grounds - TP 2. Stone Temple - MM 3. Hyrule Castle - BOTW (if you count it as a dungeon) 4. Spirit Temple - OOT 5. Palace of Winds MC

Wind Waker was my favorite game as well! And I know everyone might hate me for this but my favorite temple is the Water Temple in TP.

That came unexpected :D Zeltik, 2 more days ... I'm so fucking excited :O

Awesome video! Your description of Windwaker's earth temple was great. It is very claustrophobic and creepy

Straight yes and thumbs up for that #1 My fav of all time, the music, all the different enemies, puzzles. Classic temple.

The Ancient Cistern dungeon is based on the story "The Spider's Thread"

#5. Lakebed Temple - Twilight Princess #4. Dragon Roost Cavern - The Wind Waker #3. Temple of Time - Twilight Princess #2. Shadow Temple - Ocarina of Time #1. Snowpeak Ruins - Twilight Princess I just realized that my favorite Zelda game went from Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess LOL.

I enjoyed it. keep them coming

The way you describe the Forest Temple gave me chills, because it's so accurate!

5. Lakebed Temple 4. Snowpeak Ruins 3. Ancient Cistern 2. Spirit Temple 1. Arbiter's Grounds

Water Temple of the Ocarina...😹😹😹

I personally loved the Twilight Princess time temple. The appearance, the music, the puzzles, everything about it was great.

The Temple of Time is one of my favorites. The elegant design of the Temple and the music. It just has this mystery to it that I love.

zeltik: Windwaker is my favorite Zelda game Botw: allow me to introduce myself

I always loved the temple of time from twightlight princess Something other worldly about it. Feels huge yet confused as you can’t leave the temple to explore outside

When the music kicked in for #1, you just knew. May the chill go up and down your spine.

love your vids keep them coming

JOYCON boys!

I cant realy tell whats my favorite dungeons I just can tell that the Watertemple in TP is realy good (because I like the atmosphere the design and the boss/idea) and the Spirit and Forest Temple in Ocarina of time (same reason)

Twilight princess has some AMAZING dungeons... But when I started this video I said under my breathe "forest temple for me". And then you put it at your#1!! I LOVED the design of the forest temple. I got lost over and over as a kid and it made it feel sooo mysterious. Great video my friend

Wind Waker was sooo awesome, and it came out when I was 18. I thought the cell shading would make it kiddish and crappy, but I had to try it, it was a new Zelda game after all. I ended up loving everything about it, and the bright skies with the bright blue ocean just made it feel serene. I wish they’d release a version for the Switch. I lost my GameCube and my Wii during one of the ten times I moved in college and a few years after.

5. Water Temple 4. Snowpeak Ruins 3. Earth Temple 2. Tower of Spirits 1. Ancient Cistern

Tempel of time from Twillight princess was so godam cool since you get to control giant accient Stone figures And Twillight princess are by far One of the Best zelda games when it comes to Dungeons

My guy, the fact that you said that Forest temple was your number 1 favorite makes me so happy. I love that temple!

i really just be clicking on random videos of yours because every single one is good

5. Spirit Temple 4. Misery Mire 3. Ice Palace 2. Stone Tower Temple 1. Sandship

I would say my favorite legend of Zelda dungeon is the shadow temple from ocarina of time

I was so happy when the Forrest Temple was your #1 haha. That temple was always my favorite, granted I unfortunately only played Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask. The Forest Temple has always remained in my memory especially that haunting score!

It's been said, but I'll say it again. Arbiter's Grounds. The freaky atmosphere, the terrific gameplay, the use of Wolf and Human forms, the design that is difficult to fully search but without requiring much backtracking, the freakin' Spinner, and easily the best bosses (both mini-boss and head honcho, plus how they're linked by that cursed sword). Oh, right, and the large amount of plot that goes along with the whole place! How is this not at the top of any list?

You kids will never know the incredible feeling when you stumble on the first tree with an open mouth in the original game, you walk in and hear link going down stairs, and suddenly you realized your in dungeon #1, and the music changes to a more intense feel, and that blue hue is eased over everything in what you find is a labyrinth. Only those who were young like me in 1986 will understand why you didn't even come CLOSE to naming the best Zelda dungeon, the one to start them all!

5. Water Temple 4. Water Temple 3. Water Temple 2. Water Remple 1. Water Pimple

These videos are so damn entertaining and nostalgic! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That top pick is spot on. Well done

Its strange. Majoras Mask is muy favourite game, but their dungeons while they are awesome i cant say they are the bests. The pre-dungeons "missions", the story, the characters, the atmosphere and majora itself, that should be what i like (and being a deku/goron/zora of course).

*Stone Tower Temple all the way! 👍Like if you agree!*

The forest temple man.. the music and feel in there!! i love TLOZ.. wish they would bring more classic zeldas from the past to nintendo switch so i can play them again and again and again!! awesome videos btw

It's Sunday in a few days! congrats man!

NO SNOWPEAK RUINS FROM TWILIGTH PRINCESS!?

STONE TOWER??????????????

Shadow temple from oot is my #1. You get such a feeling of progession from adventuring through it. I genuinely was scared I'd get lost and it had some of my favorite moments, from the spiked wall trap you have to burn to the fight on the ship. It truly felt like you descending further and further into darkness.

I just wanted to say thanks. As someone who hadn't given Wind Waker a chance before (I really, really sucked at stealth dungeons back in the day), it was either this or one of your other videos that convinced me to grab the HD remake and give it a fair shake. I've had it for a month now and played it a time and a half (going for 100% this time), and I think I like this one even more than LTTP. Have a sub. You earned it.

5. Water temple, ocarina of time 4. Eldin mines, twilight princess. 3. City in the Sky, twilight princess 2. Temple of Time, twilight princess 1. Hyrule castle, twilight princess. Oot has a ton of dungeons I loved, but none of them were much of a challenge like the water temple. Eldin mines, because it was so varied, and even though it was a fire dungeon, it had a ton of water in it too. City in the Sky was so cool, and the fact that you got a second hook shot type item for the first time was amazing. Plus, it was really cool to become a medieval Spider-Man clad in green. The first time I stepped into the temple of time in OoT, I was kinda disappointed. I was hoping for a dungeon, but no success. Then Twilight Princess came out, and you had to complete it for one of the mirror pieces. It was so cool using the dominion rod, and I kinda wish it had more uses outside that temple. Hyrule castle was amazing, all the darknut fights were awesome. Sword to sword combat was always my favorite in Wind Waker (it certainly wasn’t the graphics) and Twilight Princess, and with the skills you obtained from the Hero or whatever, it made it even more fun.

Any video about the Zelda series I am going to enjoy watching but the only thing that makes me even more happy to watch is when the video features the forest temple which in my opinion is one of the best ever kind of dungeon that has ever been made for this series I will admit I do like a few other dungeons more than the forest one but in ocarina of time it will always be my favourite one ever to play and that is saying something as I really also bloody love the fire temple but the forest temple will always be my favourite so thanks for including it in your video I was just so happy that you did that. XX

I was *so* hoping you would have the Palace of Winds, and you didn't disappoint. By far my favorite dungeon in the entire series!

Probably my favorite zelda dungeon right now is either Arbiters grounds or snowpeak ruins. Both from TP. Possibly because I have been replaying the game, but they are both really cool dungeons(and TP as a whole)
