Why didn't Zora's Domain go back to normal after clearing the Water Temple?

magic ice

No, for real.

Why people meme about the water temple when the forest temple is the true absolute hell because I missed the fucking first key how I was supposed to know that

>he didn't pour the blue fire 50 times behind the frozen waterfall to unfreeze Zora's Domain and unlock Ruto's sidequest

L O L

>unlock ruto's sidequest
>after she's killed by Morpheel and goes full astral

This oversight is the only legitimate flaw in OoT.

Jk, the ending shows it does unfreeze.

Damn, that's smooth. Is this sort of animation difficult to learn?

What about how empty Hyrule Field is aside from the Big Poes?

That shit had me stuck for a good four hours until I broke down and looked up a guide. I still dislike the temple for that reason.

>implying that wouldn't take time to unfreeze

I'm sorry, did you think that was MAGIC ICE or some shit?

That's nothing, I restarted the whole game from the beginning because I didn't know that it was possible to shoot the Forest Temple closed eye switches back open.

>This oversight is the only legitimate flaw in OoT.
Someone should make a ROM hack where Zora's Domain returns to normal after beating the Water Temple, with new dialogue.

>Jk, the ending shows it does unfreeze.
Never noticed that.

It shouldn't have been that hard. All they had to do is copy paste the child version of Zora's Domain and have all zoras say "thank-you, Link", Zora Fountain can remain the same.

Then again I don't know shit about N64 programming.

its probs a mocap routine put on the model. you can find them free everywhere

Nah, someone should make a rom hack where the Ice Temple is still in the game. And we have another sage.

What about the Light Temple where you get the other two pieces of the triforce?

Both were a blast for my 11 year old brain, you guys just sucked or do suck.

And in general, people who cry about dungeons being to hard to figure out in fucking Zelda are the cancer that is at the root of casualization and streamlining of A/J-RPGs.

For people that like a challenge it's actually satisfying, when the solution hits you after running arround in circles for an hour or so.

>Both were a blast for my 11 year old brain, you guys just sucked or do suck.
I was 7

That's when I played Lttp and I beat that too without calling Nintendo, your move.

Where was the first key again? I don't remember that but I did get stuck for a little while because I didn't shoot the paintings.

I think its because there was originally going to be an Ice Temple (where the Ice cavern is) which was going to tie in with Zora's Domain.

up the vines on a tree in the first room before you actually enter the castle part

I have also felt that the Bottom of the Well is also an incomplete temple. There is really nothing to do there other than getting the Lens of Truth.

Ice Temple? Another Sage?

Light Temple? The other two Triforce pieces?

Ganon froze over ZD so killing Morpha would have no effect. You see Zoras in the end credits so I assume killing Ganon unfroze the city

>Forest Temple
Monsters in Kokiri Forest

>Fire Temple
Volcano is active, Dragon eating Gorons

>Water Temple
Lake Hylia drained, Zora's Domain frozen

>Shadow Temple
Nonstop rain in Kakariko Village for a while?

>Spirit Temple
?????

What was the Spirit Temple's "curse"?

I think it's just that the two witches lived there.

Witches and shit, my dude.

- they didn't want you to be confused as to which version you were in
- they didn't want to come up with dialog for all the Zoras again
- they didn't want to come up with another task to complete for the area

all of those except the first one could be because of constraints of time, money, effort, or storage space

>- they didn't want to come up with dialog for all the Zoras again
They could just do what they did with the Gorons post-Fire Temple and have every single one just say "Thank you, Link"

It's not like any of the fodder OoT Zoras had any names or personality aside from the king and Ruto.

you were supposed to explore, dum-dum
why would you not hookshot every place you could?

fucking this

>wwn get Zelda Gaiden because de N64DD failed
why even live

>>Shadow Temple
>Nonstop rain in Kakariko Village for a while?
it had that shadow thing that ripped shit up and knocked out Link
>>Spirit Temple
>?????
>What was the Spirit Temple's "curse"?
Koume and Kotake were abducting Gerudos for slave labor and probably other reasons, as well as keeping them from the temple that was rightfully theirs and possibly causing the sandstorm past the village

there was the guy that gives you the diving challenge

He could just get deleted since I doubt that adult Link can do the diving challenge in such shallow water.
