Temple of the Ocean King - Unnecessary hard?

Who think Temple of the Ocean King was unnecessary hard?

I didn't find it very hard, just tedious after the second time.

It wasn't hard, just... outrageously annoying!!! >.<

And after you get the Phantom Sword, it's actually pretty easy (but still outrageously annoying!)

Quite. I'll never get tired of whacking a Phantom in the butt.

just going back to the beginning every time was a pain!

It wasn't that hard. But it was tough, it gave a good challenge. I didn't like the time though, that just pissed me off. But over all it was okay.

It was hard, but that's a good thing, because the rest of the game was way too damn easy. I mean, if I was used to the game's controls while playing it the first time around, I'd probably have reeeeaaally little game overs.

Anyway, the Temple of the Ocean King could've used some improvement in terms of mechanics and stuff, but its difficulty is perfect.

It was annoying going back there, what, 5 times?

It has a good difficulty. And as man_with_thoo said, the rest of the game was damn easy. It needed something like that to bump up the challenge.

Maybe the TotOK seemed hard because the rest of the game was easy

Not hard, just kind of tedious...

If that was hard for you then you'd fail at the original Zelda games.

Hard? No

Annoying? Yes

I still don't get what they thought would be fun about redoing the same thing over and over =/

Repetive and annoying is what makes TotOK such a "grrrrrr" temple.

Agreed. I've played and finished AoL (but atm it seems impossible for me to finish it the second time around), and to whoever complains about repeating the Temple of the Ocean King over and over again, here's what I have to say to you:

Try AoL. Everytime you have a game over you start all the way back in the Princess' tomb. And that's what makes it fun. So stop complaining, because old videogames were like that, and The Temple of the Ocean King just reintroduces the past, meaning it being challengingly fun, because the rest of the game is rediculously easy.

There, that's all.

I didn't find it hard. On the contrary, I found the puzzles and the layout enjoyable. It's one of my favorite concepts in any Zelda game or any video game.

We haven't heard this before. God bless new members.

Sorry :<

EDIT: Unnecessarily*

Once you replay it a few times (and remember stuff) and get more items for shortcuts, it's not that hard.

Except there is always this one set of floors that I keep forgetting how to get pass. I cannot count how many times I've been stuck there.

Which, out of interest? Don't say it was the one where you have to draw on the door >_<. I remember you having trouble with that in the boss fight.

No. The two floors with the large pit and the constant circle, square and triangle fetching and switching.

There were many times I couldn't even remember where they could be located either.

Oh yeah. The countless times I've done those, and it's was still a pain every time.
