Is it me, or is it that in any Nimtendo game with levels concerning the Elements, water levels are the hardest? Think about it, in Zelda games, you always get that dreaded feeling everywhere in ur body when ur about to hit the water temple? More l8er

I hated Jolly Roger Bay on SM64. Not because it was hard, but because it was boring.

I also think that water levels are always hard. Everybody I know that has Zelda says the Water temple, in Ocarina, was the hardest one. I think it is nothing compared to Majora's Mask water temple.

I've always thought this. I think it's because having to perform tasks under water can be slow and disorienting, and of course there's always the threat of drowning.

Hard for adventure games, boring or frustrating on platformers. Also, much les common but equally bad, are bog or industrial waste levels (I'm lookin' at you, Banjo Tooie and Jak and Daxter).

I thought the underwater parts of Zelda TP were pretty good. Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 had good underwater parts too.

The water levels in Zelda games are moreannoyingthan hard. Take ocarina of Time for example the so called hard thing you probably thought about this level was the constant backtracing and switching from your normal boots to the iron boots. It's still hard in ways but it's more extremely annoying.

I agree about the Legend of Zelda: Ocharina of Time Water Temple. Th at temple was so annoying and hard that it took me 5 hours to beat it.

Not that I remember Mario 64 extremely well, but I thought that that was one of the better levels with some interesting missions.

I think that they're usually just too slow and boring. I hated how in Mario 64 you only had the underwater turtle shell for like 10 seconds. That really would speed things up.

That was the point. Samus can't move easily through water until she gets the Gravity Suit.

I'm having a brain lapse. Which level was that? Was that the one with the different ways your could raise/lower the water? If so then I agree I hated that one.

I at least beat the water temple in OOT, but I stopped playing MM because of the water temple. So know I wait for it on VC, I wait for my revenge.

I hate the swimming in world of warcraft... lol... jk...

so for nintendo games..?

I think that some of the Water stages on Donkey Kong Country were frustrating as well as Super Mario World. The only levels I remember dying a lot on were the water ones

Water levels and areas are always annoying until you get some upgrade that actually makes going into the water fun. I never liked water levels either especially when there is a breath meter or something, and maybe you can't exactly attack in some water areas.

Lol. This is so sig worthy.

Anyways, Yeah I agree with the rest of you on the topic of water levels being annoying/frustrating. The Water temple in Ocarina of time wasn't hard, it was just so tedious to have to go back and forth in order to raise/lower the water level in order to get a key/ or something else of importance. It felt more like a chore than fun, which is never a good thing to have when your trying to enjoy your free time.

Also, as far as water levels on 2d mario games are concerned, I've never really had a problem with them. I actually enjoyed going through the water levels in SMB 1,3, and land (or world, I forget)

Ugh, yes. Especially in the Zelda games. The water temples would have me put the game down for days before I started up again. I think the water temples are brilliantly designed, and when you complete them it makes you feel like something, but they usually take forever, and the constant slow swimming and having to adjust the water levels gets frustrating a bit. In other games such as platformers the water levels can really slow down the action and pace. You're running around jumping here and there, exploring.....then suddenly you find yourself slowly swimming through water doing your best to avoid water enemies that are much faster than you and having to rise to the surface for air. Yes, water levels are the worst and forest/fire levels are usually my favorites.

I would agree with that, its a much different feeling than running around on land, and the devs have many more options available to them which makes it more difficult.

I would assume that you are referring to MGS2, yeah that was one annoying water level. The stupid girl would get stuck and drown.

I would have agreed a few years ago with this statement simply because after nearly drowning as a child I had a fear of drowning which somehow carried over to video games. However, I have since outgrown that and welcome those temples/levels as more of a challenge than a hindrance to games. PLus in games, you can always try again when you die!

There is just something about water that get's the human mind all jumbled. It does seem to be a pattern in Nintendo games that the water levels are the hardest. I really can't say why though.

I hated Jolly Roger Bay on SM64. Not because it was hard, but because it was boring.Sants412

...Hate to tell you this but Jolly Roger Bay was on banjo tooie, You might be talking about..... Oops I just flilcked on my DS to see what water levels there were and stage three jolly roger bay but there was also a level called that in banjo tooie, sorry.

Anyway on the topic I personally like the water levels. At first I hated them but they were never something where it was obvious what to do next... Ok none of the levels were obvious but you could tell you would get something fresh and new with the water levels. At first I hated them but they do give variety, have to give them credit on that even though they might be annoying they are different and fun!

Call me nuts but I do like water worlds, temples, etc. I find them more challenging that any other world because you have to be aware of your air meter, enemies and of course they seem to need more fast decision and logical deductions 'cause if you make the wrong path you are not going to survive it, and if you take too much time thinking you are going to drown

Yeah, the water levels could be a pain in the heinie but to tell you the truth, the water level(s) that bothered me the most were the ones from the original SMB. As far as Zelda goes, I thought all the water temples were among the best in those games.
