You do realize that most Zelda dungeons are Portal for toddler, just a bit longer than most of BOTWs dungeons, right?

Gameplay wise, there’s nothing special about dungeons from OoT, TP or SS in comparison to BOTW dungeons. Butthurt Zelda fans over BOTW tend to highly overrate past game dungeons simply because they were longer or had better aesthetics/atmosphere. The fact that they’re long and look visually interesting doesn’t make them play any better. Most dungeons are actually very, very simple. Including the bosses, too. 

I like dungeons in Zelda and all, but lets be honest here, BOTW dungeons aren’t a farcry from past games. They’re just shorter and revolve around a ‘moving the dungeon’ mechanic, but the puzzles and tasks really aren’t any worse. Heck, its way better than OoT’s 300 block and torch ‘puzzles’ in most of its dungeons.

 I just replayed MM and the dungeons are a million times more complex than botw and frankly way  better than Portal. You need to replay those n64 games dude. Where is stone tower in botw or portal?

The first dungeon is terrible and tedious, the 2nd is the same, the third is the same, Stone tower is literally the only good dungeon in that game lol

ironically, all of BOTW’s dungeons are similar to Stone Tower in some ways due to the divine beast gimmick. Just shorter and less tedious.

And Majora’s Mask is probably one of the few exceptions where the dungeons are SLIGHTLY complex. Tedious and boring, but slightly complex. Every dungeon in OoT, TP and SS are incredibly simple, just stretched out longer and visually interesting. Majora’s Mask fans tend to agree that the dungeons are the worst part of that game as well.

Admit it, most Zelda dungeons are overrated due to how ‘long’ and ‘cool looking’ they are. The puzzles themselves are just as simple as BOTW divine beasts at best or even MORE simple at worst. The only times you get stuck is when you can’t find a chest or a switch, not because of a head scratching puzzle or any sort of complexity.
