A Link Between Worlds Zelda Dungeon Showdown, Round 3

[ColdRadio]

Looks like Snowpeak Ruins is our winner for Twilight Princess, and honestly I'm a little surprised. But hey, that's what these polls are for! Now, let's jump forward to the most recent Zelda game, A Link Between Worlds. After some of your comments in last week's poll I've decided to add a separate final dungeon round at the end, but again, no Lorule Castle here. I'm also leaving Hyrule Castle off the list, as in my mind it's more of a mini-dungeon. As always, feel free to explain your choice in the comments. On to the voting!

It's been about 7 months since I last played through A Link Between Worlds, and I've only done it twice, so I can't say I remember too much from the dungeons. However, based on what I remember, Dark Palace is my dungeon of choice because of its dark theme and creative puzzles, and for being the only dungeon that really stumped me at all.

Yeah, I had some trouble with this one too. Hadn't used the guide at all up to that point, but trying to get at that master ore finally broke me.

I really liked most of the dungeons in this game, but I would have to say that the Ice Ruins are my favorite. It's a little more challenging than the average dungeon in the game, and the layout of the dungeon is very unique with the elevator and all the narrow platforms. It can be a little confusing in terms of figuring out where to go next but in a good, challenging way.

i personally hate the Ice Ruins, no so much cuz i think it is a poor dungeon design, it mainly cuz of how confusing it is. I have trouble with dungeons that have a lot of floors. However the boss in the Ice Ruins is pretty Stellar.

I was really torn between, the Swamp Palace and Skull Woods, but i stuck with the Swamp Palace. I presents a hefty challenge. and has some pretty cool mechanics.

It's a close competition between the Dark Palace and the Ice Ruins for me, but I ultimately have to go with the Ice Ruins. I've always enjoyed puzzle heavy dungeons, and I thought the vertical dungeon mechanic was very well executed. I can see where people who say the dungeon was confusing are coming from, but there were a handful of smaller floors to make completing the dungeon easier.

The Dark Palace is a close second for me, as I thought extinguishing the light to see hidden paths in the darkness was a very simple, yet unique mechanic.
