Countdown: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Dungeon Crawl #7 – Grave Expectations

The writer returns to Kakariko Village to explore the Shadow Temple in a replay of the original Ocarina of Time, ahead of the game’s upcoming Switch 2 release. They argue that the dungeon feels more linear and repetitive than earlier temples because its two main tools make most solutions apparent early, leaving little need to plan ahead.

The Lens of Truth, found in the Bottom of the Well, reveals hidden objects, while the Hover Boots let Link cross gaps; both are available near the start of the temple. The writer still praises its distinctive gothic atmosphere, including skull-lined walls, grim reapers and closing walls, and says they enjoy its boss, Bongo Bongo, despite the drumming that can make fights frustrating. The supplied article cuts off during that discussion.
