<b> Lake Hylia during a storm is nice</b>
Since when are there atmospheric effects in OoT...? What storm?
I agree with Weltall... the <B>Forest Temple</B> is magnificent. It's eerie, and the soundtrack goes hand-in-hand with it. It has an atmosphere all together unique... a masterly crafted dungeon if ever there was one. I love playing through it: the feel of a vast, abandoned temple, deep in a thick and mystical forest. It's the stuff Zelda is made of. I didn't, however, like Phantom Ganon. The awesome way he comes out of the paintings is very original, but... 'eh. I just feel that they should have created a more original boss than an identical ghost form of Ganon. A forest ghost of some kind.
As a Goron, I'm naturally fairly fond of the <b>Fire Temple</b>. Once again, it's a masterfully crafted piece of dungeon lore. With the eerie Islamic chanting music, and the background ambience... you can almost feel the heat from Death Mountain through your TV. Plus, there were some pretty cool rooms, (that huge, huge pillar that you have to hit with the Megaton hammer, and then it falls all the way down to the bottom in the end)... and Volvagia was a pretty cool boss too. I mean, he sucks for what he did to my people... but he's fun to fight in the game.
My thoughts on the <b>Water Temple</b> are already known. The music does go very well with the water-theme, but besides that, I just don't like it very much... it's not as much fun to explore as the others are, and the boss isn't that enthralling to fight, either.
The <b>Shadow Temple</b> is cool, and suitably creepy. Bongo Bongo is, as we've pretty much unanimously agreed, the best boss by far. The rest of the temple is fun to explore, but less so than Fire and Forest.
The Desert Colossus and the <b>Spirit Temple</b> were never my favorite dungeon, but even I have to admit that they are well-crafted. The huge main room with the giant, knelt statue is something cool all right. Killing the witch sisters is kind of a bother, though.
