If Phantom Hourglass gets a remaster, perhaps this Zelda dungeon can be more streamlined. This recurring dungeon has the potential to entirely drain the fun out of advancing in the game, especially for players who didn’t enjoy it during their first few visits and aren’t looking forward to returning yet again. Knowing that they’ll only have to return to the Temple of the Ocean King over and over after each new area and dungeon they explore, players can become actively discouraged from wanting to progress in the game knowing that the temple always lies ahead.

Not only that, but the first run is strictly timed, and making even the slightest mistake can send players back to the beginning to do it all over again. Players have to return to the Temple of the Ocean King at least four times in order to beat Phantom Hourglass, and with the puzzles resetting after every run, it’s hard to feel like all of the effort is worth it.

The temple is located inside of Death Mountain 's volcanic crater and in order to spend any time there Link must wear the Goron Tunic to prevent himself from. It is the 5th dungeon in the game and the second one Link visits as an Adult. Compared to the other dungeons in A Link to the Past, the Ice Palace doesn’t offer much to make gameplay fun. The Fire Temple is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The enemies and puzzles don’t offer anything exciting, nor do they interact much with the mechanics of the icy floor, which leads to an increase in difficulty that is more frustrating and tedious than engaging and challenging. While this Zelda dungeon requires players to have patience and move slowly to counteract the loss of control of Link’s movements, there isn’t anything particularly interesting within that makes it worth spending a lot of time there. The layout of this dungeon isn’t intuitive, and while it’s not the most confusing dungeon layout in the Zelda franchise, it’s made more difficult by Link falling between floors and having to backtrack often.

As the name suggests, this dungeon is covered in ice, leaving most of its floors slippery enough to make controlling Link extremely difficult. The Ice Palace in A Link to the Past is yet another temple that players likely shudder to remember.
