Oh wow, I think pretty much every single dungeon in this game was pretty bad. All were simplistic, short and to the point, and boasted unimpressive super duper easy bosses. There was also way too few of them. Ah well, I guess we'd all rather sail around an ocean for 6 hours instead of spending that time in dungeons right?
I'm going to agree with Ver-go, the dungeons were indeed pretty bad. They provided little challenge, were straight-forward, usually you went from point A to point B (with the exception of a few instances) and really weren't terribly fun or interesting.
Whilst I enjoyed sailing, again, I have to agree. After all the sailing I had to do in the game, I would have expected something... better, from the temples. Instead, it felt almost like a waste of time.
The Earth Temple was horrible. I was disappointed to see the rehashed reflect the light system that was used in OoT and MM, and while controlling Medli seemed interesting at first, it quickly got old and repetitive, courtesy of the most annoying song in Zelda history which would be that control tune that not only sounded horrible, but was a pain to play. Wind Temple had this same thing too, but at least controlling Makar with his seeds was a bit more interesting than Medli and her little magic harp.
I'm not sure I'd call it horrible, but I do agree that it wasn't great. The temple overall was pretty dull except for the redeads and such, and nothing in it particularly caught my attention.
The first time I played through it, I thought it was a pretty neat idea to be able to control Medli, I liked how cooperation between Link, and another character, was required for certain tasks.
But then.. It just became a nuisance. I hated the tune used to control her, it was annoying, and hardly a melody. It was bothersome to play every time you needed Medli to do something to progress.
However, I'd say the Wind Temple was worse in this respect.
I really did not like the temple overall, and Makar made it worse. He was a pain to control, he couldn't move very well, and the only way he was really useful was when he use gusts of air to 'fly'. Having to use Makar got to be a real pain in the ***. As did Medli.
