ocarina of time master quest fire temple

The Well removes almost all need for the Eye of Truth, and is designed so you can get the Eye of Truth without fighting the Dead Hand. The only really noteworthy new challenge is timing jumping onto an elevator block because it is blocked by fire if it isn't midair, where in the original there's no timing needed.

The Fake Doors are gone, the run-from-a-wall-of-fire room lacks that gimmick, etc. The Fire Temple more or less requires you have Fire Arrows, and has some irritating sequences, but mostly it strips out all the vaguely challenging/fun things. But overall, it dramatically reduces the difficulty in a dungeon that, while many players complain about it a lot, isn't actually all that hard of a dungeon. I do like the waterfall you Longshot up in Master Quest better. Some enemy types basically don't exist now, like the clams. The Water Temple outright walls off substantial portions of the dungeon, eliminates almost all underwater combat, pre-opens a wall you had to bomb open originally, circumvents some of the remaining real challenges, and in exchange requires you realize you are supposed to Hookshot random wall locations to progress. In particular, the Boss Key is a lot harder to miss. The Forest Temple is simplified, albeit it has more enemies. None of the stingrays are hiding inside the floor, for instance: they're always found in shallow water. In the vein of the first note, it also removes a lot of enemies, and uses certain enemies exclusively in ways that are less difficult to deal with. (Whose room is incomprehensible if you haven't played the original) I do like the cow-switches. Jabu-Jabu's Belly negates Ruto's utility (ie makes the dungeon simpler) outside of activating the miniboss. The Deku Tree has some weird choices (why is the Slingshot earlier?) but is overall harder than the original version. In fact, it mostly seems to destroy versimilitude and try to remove pieces of the game oft complained about by people. What challenge has been added is mostly of the 'how is the player supposed to figure out the answer' variety. There's a few bits where it places a tough challenge much earlier, and there's enemies primarily used as minibosses in the original that are sprinkled more liberally in Master Quest, but it also erases a lot of challenge. The game is supposed to be harder than the original Ocarina of Time. I'm left feeling vaguely disappointed by Ocarina of Time: Master Quest.
