I'm Playing: Ocarina of Time (Part 1)

I've been playing Ocarina of Time lately. 

A few weeks ago, I was playing OoT and realized how fricken awesome Sheik is - not just because of the cool disappearing shiz and the tight harp, but also from the whole Zelda hiding herself right in front of Link as Sheik.  I just think it's so cool.
With that said, OoT does have an amazing story, I must say (for a Zelda game).

I finished the Water Temple today.  I must say, it was not as hard as it was at 10 years old.  I can see why people complain about it so much, with all the water level changing and the keys being in difficult locations, but it's not a horrible or incredibly difficult temple (it is the most difficult one in the game so far though).  The only thing that sucks about it is the constant pausing to go to/from your Iron Boots, and the map being 2D when you're playing the most 3D of temples.

Favorites, so far....

Temples:  Forest > Water >>>> Fire > Dodongo > Deku Tree > Jabu-Jabu > Ice Cavern  (Forest Temple isn't as hard as Water, but it's the second hardest and it has the best music AND the hardest/coolest boss so far)

Bosses:  Phantom Ganon >>>> Barinade >> Gohma > King Dodongo >> Volvagia > Morpha   (if Dark Link counts, he would be right ahead of Barinade. lol)

Love Interests:  Zelda >> Saria > Malon >>>> Princess Roto  (I only dislike Roto so much because she forced/tricked the engagement with Link. And only added Malon because she's an amazing singer. lol)


I've been taking notes while playing -  a few Sheik quotes down, as well as key Hylian history and story bits - because after I'm done playing the game I'm going to write a massive review/perspective/whatever on it.  It'll be a mostly positive writing, since I like this game, a lot.  I just really hope the Temples and Bosses get better...  It's getting me psyched to play Majora's Mask though. :)


With that, I have a few questions for you:

What do you consider to be the hardest/funnest Zelda temple/dungeon in the series/OoT?

What do you consider the hardest/funnest boss in the series/OoT to be?

If Link had to marry, or have 'intricate relations' with, anyone from the series/OoT, who would you want it to be?


(silly questions)
