| DTG said: Water temple in OoT >>> anything in TP in terms of difficulty. Also, you didn't have hearts lying around every step you took in OoT, unlike in TP where you're literally tripping over regenerative hearts. |
I thought the water temple was one of the easiest ones.... it was certainly he slowest, but not the most difficult in terms of puzzle solving.
In terms of fighting, the only difficult bit on my first try was fighting Dark Link.... although I did the water temple before the forest and fire temples, which doesn't help.
And apart from my first encounter with Dark Link, I have never died in any of the 3 Zelda games I have played because there are hearts aplenty in all of them... in fact the only other times I came close to dieing was fighting the 3 stages of puppet Ganon in Windwaker, and then the horse-riding part of the final battle in TP (blasted ghost horses) for the rest of all three games I hardly even used a stored fairy.

And regarding the story, OoT and TP do have similar stories, but they both stem from ALttP rather than from each other, it's like when people say "humans are decended from apes" when in fact we are not, it's just that apes and humans are decended from the same species.
Oh and unfortunately I haven't played MM... from what I know about it I think I would love it, and had I played it in it's day I would probably rate it higher than WW (and thus higher than TP and OoT too)... and I am hoping it will be brought to the VC soon.
