Which Zelda Has The BEST Dungeon? | Ranking Zelda Games By Dungeon Lineup | Zelda Dungeon Tier List 

You had me going there with twilight princess. Well played, lol. I do feel much better seeing it up there in S tier

Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game and a large portion of that opinion stems from the EXCELLENT dungeons. I think every one of them are stellar.

One thing I love about Twilight Princess that not all the Zelda games have is that the dungeons start really good, and then they only get better as the game goes on. In some of the other games, you get the feeling like “I just finished the Spirit/Wind Temple, and now I only have Ganon’s Tower left… ugh…” But with Twilight Princess, it’s “I just beat Temple of Time! And next is City in the Sky? And then Palace of Twilight?! And then Hyrule Castle?!” The game stays strong throughout and goes out with a bigger bang than any of the other games.

Lol you got me with twilight princess. It’s definitely my favorite game dungeon wise. Snowpeak, arbiters grounds, and city in the sky are such great dungeons. Good ranking!

Before watching I'd say Twilight Princess ftw hands down. Edit: looool you totally got me for a second! Good job! Cheers, mate!

Water Temple in OoT is one of my favorite temple to tackle with, along with the Great Bay Temple in Majora’s Mask, Lakebed Temple in Twilight Princess, and Ancient Cistern in Skyward Sword.

I gotta say, I completely agree with your assessment. Even with ALttP, possibly my favorite Zelda game. Definitely my favorite pixel art Zelda game. Very solid teir list all around.

Even though Stone Tower Temple is my all time favorite Zelda dungeon, I would have to say I enjoyed more of the dungeons in Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time more. Dungeons like Arbiters Grounds, Snowpeak Ruins, Temple of Time, City in the Sky, Forest Temple OoT, Spirit Temple, Fire Temple, and Shadow Temple, are all dungeons that I really look forward to when replaying Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

A Link to the Past is a PERFECT blend of combat, exploring, and puzzles. It being S-Tier is the only change I'd make.

I think that Majoras Mask is S tier. All the dungeons are unique with their main gimmicks and they are challenging. I honestly love all four dungeons.

An accurate assesment of each game and a solid list. You did get me for a moment with Twilight Princess..not my favourite Zelda game but has some awsome dungeons..My favourites are the Temple of time and Hyrule castle.

As someone who is replaying MM, I think it could have gotten an A tier IF they made the moon an actual dungeon. This game was rushed in development and I think they did an excellent job with the overworld/sidequests with the amount of time the devs had. If anything, the overworld gets an "S" tier.

I screamed "WHAT" when you said C-tier for TP. You really had me there.

My jaw dropped and I just kept saying "No er no no" When you got me with the Twilight Princess 😂

Twightlight princess all day. The art style on top of it. If they made a totk game look like twighlight princess and TP dungeons. Wouldve been the greatest game ever made of all time..

That Twilight Princess juke had me going. It's easily my favorite lineup of dungeons in the franchise.

You had me scared there with twilight Princess ranking

Great vid. Rare I see a tier list where I agree with every single entry, yet here we are.

My Top 5 dungeons 1. Stone Tower Temple(Majoras Mask) 2. Eagles Tower(Link's Awakening) 3. Sand Ship (Skyward Sword) 4. Spirit Temple(Ocarina Of Time) 5. Snow Peak Ruins (Twilight Princess)

My top 5 dungeons: 1 - Forest Temple (OOT), 2 - Sandship (SS), 3 - Lanayru Mining Facility (SS), 4 - Spirit Temple (OOT), 5 - Snowpeak Ruins (TP)

Everytime I replay Twilight Princess, the more I like the Forest Temple. At this point I am certain that it is BY FAR the best 1st dungeon in Zelda, in my opinion. But Woodfall Temple and Deepwood Shrine are not too far behind.

I definitely disagree with how it seems like you're against very complex sprawling dungeons. IMO the last three dungeons in Oracle of Ages are amazing and easily the pinnacle of 2D dungeon design, especially Jabu Jabu's Belly. They're very complex challenging, but that's what makes them so satisfying to complete. Same thing with Tower of Spirits. Spirit Tracks has MUCH better dungeons than Phantom Hourglass, especially in its puzzles. The final visit to the Tower of Sprits is amazing and has some of the best puzzles in the series. On the other hand, I think A Link Between World's dungeons are ranked too high and I'd put them in more like B tier. I love the Ice Ruins, but the other dungeons can feel very simple and small. Some of them even feel like mini dungeons (looking at you Turtle Rock). I'm sure being able to do the dungeons in any order didn't help with having interesting puzzles. They almost feel like a precursor to BotW's "dungeons"

The fact that Wind Waker is even up there is crazy.

I have missed the tier list videos!

Currently playing oracle of ages and so far I’m loving it, kinda glad I picked the puzzle based game first.

Bruh, I was about to type a STORM about Princess, lol. Got me good.

lol u got me with tp I agree with ur list but i would personally put minish cap higher

i think botw’s hyrule castle is a work of art

The stone tower temple is the last 3d temple that I have never played. After restarting the game many times, I finally got up to the entrance of the temple (after the shit with the statues to get up to the top). I am looking forward to see it, I know almost nothing about it.

That TP joke had me fucking dead, i legit screamed "WHAT" xD dude you got my ass so bad

i got baited by your tp bit so much i was about to mald lmao

Literally went to the comments for the tea the second you put Twilight in C. Got me good

Yes, I’ve missed these

How can you not like snowhead and great bay? It seems you prefer the linear ones over the more complex ones with the interconnecting main room in MM. The rising pillar is such a cool puzzle. So sad its underappreciated.

Overall I feel this is pretty fair, the only two I really disagree with are Spirit Tracks and Majora's Mask. The Phantom mechanic in Spirit Tracks in the tower I feel is better than it's given credit here and is totally unique to that game. I feel like it deserves to be bumped up one place. Majora's Mask deserves at least an A tier, honestly I feel like it earned an S tier but could be argued down to A. Other than that, I basically agree with these.

Was about to riot when I saw the TP ranking lol, great troll there

Agree with this. I love wind waker as it my really my opening game into the series but the dungeons are poor. Gotta say, your videos are brilliant. You have a wonderful tone and pace - doesn't feel scripted but you speak so fluidly and coherently. Plus your knowledge on the series is unmatched! Fangirl over here

Twilight Princess has one thing that OoT will never have, sumo wrestling.

I've played TP 7 times just because of the dungeons

I think Snowhead is pretty fun, and Goron is my favorite form but it is annoying if you fall, also if you punch the cylinders in the middle it’s annoying to backtrack. :). Great bay Can be a little confusing and the fairies are annoying.

My favorite dungeons are definitely Skyward Sword. It's the one thing that game nailed down to a tee, the absolute best in that regard IMO.

All opinions aside, TP is the best collection of dungeons. "Mic drop"

Bro you got me so scared during tp

Great list, I can agree with everything. I do like Snowhead and Great Bay Temple but with MM only having 4 dungeons I think high B or A is fair.

bro LOL the tp one had me triggered. And then he said jk and I felt so relieved xD W takes as always my guy

Oof. Felt a bit of pain on Oracle of Ages. That one earns top spot along with OoT-MQ in the S tier for me. But that's because those games actually scratched my puzzle itch.

I’ve always called TP as OOT2.0 And it definitely lives up to that name in my opinion.

Minish Cap is my JAM

My only real gripe is that I think Link Between Worlds was overrated. It had a few cool dungeons, but most of them were really short and lacked a sense of progression because you don't get the items INSIDE the dungeon. I barely remember most of them and I remember some of them giving me a sense of "wait, was that it?" But of course this is mostly just my opinion. Tbh even though Minish Cap is still my favorite Zelda, the one whose dungeons gave me the most sense of "holy shit" was absolutely Skyward Sword. That's just my take though; I haven't finished Twilight Princess but everything I am hearing about some of their dungeons, especially the Ice dungeon, sounds INCREDIBLE.

I agree with this list

I almost lost I at Twilight Princess going into C-tier! Well played!

Call me a mad man, but I would personally put Link's Awakening in S, or at least A. But that is probably because I LOVE complex dungeons that take me a while to complete. Eagle's Tower, for example, is one of my all time favorites. I love how LA focuses on getting the dungeon item (at least when compared to LTTP) and I love the creative ideas it has like the skeleton that runs away to several different rooms and you have to remember what room he will go to next. The owl statues is also a nice addition to add hints if you are ever stuck. However, I should note the only 2D/top down Zelda games I played and finished were LTTP, LA, Between Worlds, and Phantom Hourglass. I have a feeling that if I played Ages I would love those dungeons because spending over 2 hours to figure out a dungeon's puzzle/gimmick sounds super fun and challenging to me! :P P.S. I would also put MM in S tier because, once again, I love the complexity of Snowhead and Great Bay. Woodfall is a top tier starting dungeons for players who already played a Zelda game and Stone Tower is my second favorite dungeon of all time (Forest Temple from Oot is first). The lack of dungeons doesn't count as a negative to me. What matters is the quality of each dungeon

I would put Majora’s mask in S tier, the only one from that game that I don’t really like was the moon, but that was barely a dungeon anyway.

Besides from Majoras Mask (should be A) your list is really good! I agree totally :) except for Majoras Mask :P

Nice tier list. I have a couple disagreements, but it's still interresting to hear your opinions. =)

Twilight princess is my fav game of all time imo everything that makes a Zelda game a zelda game twilight princess does it on a scale of 1-10 12/10 Ages is my 2nd fav game of all time and is tied for 2nd fav with skyward sword and majoras mask dugeons are amazing

If Zelda continues down the BOTW path… I’m confident TP will go down with the best dungeon catalogue. I love lakebed, snowpeak, city in the sky, the hand in twilight palace is cool and fun and I ganons palace is the best ending.

Twilight princess is my favorite zelda game. My favorite dungeon was zants palace, but cuz of the boss fight, and cuz my sister and I were terrified playing it when those hands would chase us.

There's a reason it's called Snow PEAK temple

Here’s a list of my favourites: 2D: - Hyrule Castle (ALttP) - Theive’s Hideout (ALttP) - Sword and Shield (OoS) - Temple of Droplets (TMC) - Tower of Hera (ALBW) 3D: - Forest Temple (OoT) - Spirit Temple (OoT) - Stone Tower Temple (MM) - Arbiter’s Ground (TP) - Snowpeak Ruins (TP)

I cursed and screamed at you. Im glad I was bamboozeld...

Honestly imo the temple of droplets in the minishcap is one of the best 2D dungeon in the franchise

Zelda 2: D *You've just made an enemy for life!* --Groundskeeper Willie

Had me at twilight princess 😂😂😂, even though I loved the openworld concept of botw - and the music in the DBs was awesome - it sorely missed the scale of the dungeons like in TP

pretty good list, except I think you did _Majora’s Mask_ dirty… Stone Tower Temple is fantastic, and I think Snowhead Temple might be in my top five as well, and the other two still pretty decent. I’d put it at the bottom of S-Tier, or high A-Tier 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oracle of Ages in B tier is a crime. Easy S tier for me. It has some of the best puzzles in the series imo

No lie I was prepping a long comment to defend Twilight Princess's dungeons until I kept watching 😅. The dungeons are TP's strongest feature and I honestly think it has more great dungeons than any other Zelda. Every dungeon from Arbiter's Grounds to the end is great or at least has an interesting concept, and even it's weaker dungeons are stronger than the majority of the dungeons in other games (looks at MM and WW).

Wind waker should be bumped up, one of the things I like about this games dungeons is it seems like the items carry over more in this game compared to other Zelda games where you use the item in the dungeon use it to beat the boss then it essentially becomes useless.

If I hadn't seen the comments, that Twilight Princess joke almost got me to straight up remove your channel from any recommendations lol Luckily I did, and you fixed it seconds later

Bro i was so about to go in the comments and start to rant hard at the tp beginning😂😂😂

Hard to do a top 5 but for me it would probably be: 5. Lakebed Temple TP or Water Temple OOT. Can't decide. Both have grown on me over the years. 4. Snowpeak Ruins TP 3. Spirit Temple OoT 2. Arbiter's Grounds TP 1. Forest Temple OoT (love love love this dungeon) Skyward sword has lots of strong dungeons too but just miss the top 5. Wind water solid dungeons but nothing amazing. MM great game however I didn't like the dungeons. I prefer 3D dungeons over 2D ones. I still enjoy 2D ones just not as memorable/enjoyable for me.

twilight princess dungeons are goated

interesting. BOTW was my first video game in like 30 years and I loved it. I'm almost finished with it now, and decided that I'll dabble with some of the other Zelda games, and chose the LA remake. Unfortunately, I'm decidedly not sold on LA, and in particular the dungeons (i'm in the middle of the second. and yes, I'm stuck at the moment, but they're plenty of walk-throughs and play through that I'm confidence. I'll eventually be able to get through it) are an issue with me. (it's not just that I find the combat and the puzzles kind of boring, it just doesn't click with me. I will at least stick with it to the opening of the third dungeon though) anyway, my experience with LA made me worried that I might not like the other entries in the series, and might be a BOTW only type.(esp when my reaction to frustration with LA is to bring up BOTW and just randomly run around the map) But your ranking - which follows the general ranking of games I want to play in the future - makes me feel more confident that I might like the other games. Thank you!

Skyward sword temples are epic plus the items in the games. I think it deserves that s tier

Honestly completely agree with everything but wind waker, I consider it a tier. But that’s about it

Top 5! 5- Snowpeak (TP) 4- Desert Palace (AlBW) 3- Forest Temple (OOT) 2- Fire Temple (OOT) 1- Stone Tower Temple (MM) Overall I prefer MM and OOT dungeons to others Zelda's!

Botw hyrule castle is my fav dungeon of the series, everyone gotta admit this is one of if not the best final dungeon in the series

You seemed to think no one would say any of ocarina of time’s adult dungeons are bad, people definitely don’t like water temple, I know people who don’t like fire temple and i used to hate shadow temple (but then i got good at it in randomizer and love it now)

Little reminder: The OG four swords is ONLY made of dungeons

You genuinely got me... I was going to comment destroy you for trashing on twilight princess. Well played homie

My only change to this list would be the original Zelda, should be at B because it set the standard of what a dungeon is. some games improved, some games focused on other parts ^^

I agree with this list alot except i like link to past better than link between worlds

Have to say this list basically spot on with how I'd rank them. I agree with you in regards to TP too. Some aspects of the game I don't particularly rate or enjoy but they nailed the dungeons in that game. Love wind waker but the dungeons are just average. The Oracle games dungeons I have the same issues with. The later ones took me way too long to get through. Should've used a guide. Don't have time to waste these days! Ocarina of Time's dungeons are truly magnificent for the most part. Amazing for their first shot at 3D. Forest temple is hands down the greatest dungeon they have ever made. The atmosphere in that dungeon is incredible. Only thing I would differ on is MM. I really enjoy that game but I was not a fan of the dungeons. Stone Tower I know is loved but I think the stress of getting all the stray fairies and wanting to rush through it kinda kills it for me. Along with the terrible terrible pre-dungeon route you take and all that statue song playing. Once again GE, great list. Also I am loving your OoT playthrough btw!

oot should be a simply because of the water dungeon

I genuinely the divine beasts are way more fun than most of the stuff you put in C at the least

Twilight BY A LAND MILE!!!!! No other games can compare. No ocarina No mask No Waker NOTHING BEATS TW

Temple of time weakest post master sword dungeon? palace of twilight says hi

Fire Temple

It's funny, I would drop Ocarina of Time down to A tier, and it has nothing to do with the water temple. The water temple might be the most frustrating mechanically (at least originally) , but it is by far the best puzzler, and one of the best puzzlers in the series, and has a cool sub-boss to boot. I actually take at least some issue with most of the dungeons in the game in some way, with only a few being truly fantastic and the others just being good. The 2 half structure of the shadow temple is a great concept, but the adult portion is not that great as an actual dungeon.

Switch tp and ss and its perfect

Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have really good dungeons 🔥 I would put TP above it because the bosses are better

links awakening has some crazy good dungeons

I mean the multiplayer games do have dungeons I believe

“You just give up and use maps”. Dude…I had a pen and paper. If you think that was rough navigate, play Deadly towers (don’t use maps😂)

He looks like he needs a splash of water

I’d say Majoras Mask is S tier easily. The 4 main dungeons and the 4 mini dungeons ikana castle, the 2 spider houses, pirate fortress just flow perfectly

2D dungeons= Link's Awekening 3D dungeons= Wind Waker

TWILIGHT PRINCESS TIER C? WHAT THA FUCK!!!!! You're crazy! Edit: oops... nevermind...

Just starting the video. If this video doesn't lineup with my opinion I am going to start a riot. Twilight Princess dungeons in C-tier?! The riot has commenced. I hope you are happy.

bro got MM above minish cap 💀
