Today's game is some more Twilight Princess. I've been sinking time into the Water Temple. What really draws it out for me though is that I keep forgetting about the bomb arrows. Or I have to go back and get new ones.
This has made me though a bit nostalgic. For all my complaints it does make me feel nostalgic for the old style of dungeons. Something about BoTW and ToTK's feels short. Bigger dungeons like these feel grander to me, like these are multi day endeavors. I'm sure it's probably just a me thing, but still I can't help but feel that wave of nostalgia.
The frog boss fight in the dungeon (forgive the lack of a better picture) really gave me some trouble though. I guess I went in low on health as it knocked me down to 1 hit point before I got knocked out by its spawn. It doesn't seem like too hard of a fight besides that though. I have a few ideas on how to beat it but I'll put those to test later.
Finally, I want to say something positive about this game. So I'll say that I love this dungeon aesthetically. It's got a lot of water, and that's something I actually really like for this game. I have a personal fondness for this game's water.
Hopefully after this frog there's not too much dungeon left. I have to assume this is the halfway point so it shouldn't take too long. I just keep dragging my feet on it.
I always loved this dungeon and its gimmick ! Your post made me feel nostalgic.
