Final spoiler alert
I really really enjoyed the fire temple, and the whole approach to get there. It felt like an old school Zelda dungeon. Acquiring new ability, fighting a midboss, traversing tough terrain, piecing together how the minecarts and rails work together. It was an absolute blast.
I hear a lot of people just built a flying scooter and skipped most of the actual dungeon, and I think that’s a bit sad. You miss a lot of good ol fashioned Zelda style content that way
I did the dungeon the right way.
I am deeply conflicted on the fire temple. If anything it felt most like the OOT water temple out of any dungeon I’ve played through. Because of that, after finishing it I confidently stated I hated it.
However, IMO it had the best lead up, best boss, and best music. Just the actual dungeon was a grind.
I did it almost entirely the right way, but the fire temple’s cart rails were so confusing. Would be much better with a map or some shortcuts after each switch.
Wasn’t there a map? When you’re in a dungeon, your map defaults to a map of the dungeon itself.
For me, the map was pretty helpful. But with a dark scene it’s not always easy to see where to go next. I did most of the switches the ‘expected’ way, but the fifth one I did need to climb up to hit a switch.
