10 TERRIBLE Levels In Great Video Games
5. The Water Temple - Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Boasting one of the highest ever Metacritic scores for a video game and sales record just shy of the 10 million mark, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is undoubtedly one of the greats. Players once again take control of Link as he adventures across Hyrule, with the then-groundbreaking technologies of the N64 allowing Ocarina of Time to introduce time travel and whole host of environmental puzzles into the mix.
The puzzling in Ocarina of Time was one of the most engaging things about the game's level designs and has very much become the 'thing' people remember most fondly.
Equally memorable, though far less fondly recalled, is the game's Water Temple level.
The level kicks off in the central room of a huge temple, and players have to constantly go around equipping and unequipping their Iron Boots and adjusting the water level inside the building to navigate around. The whole thing is a massive faff honestly, with the level giving away hardly any hints or clues as to where players need to go or how they get there.
All of this before a player even has to worry about a showdown with Dark Link or Morpha and its tentacles in the temple's boss battle.
