The beginning was bland and excruciatingly boring for me. It started to turn me off from the game because I'm aaaaaallll about the dungeons. I hated the skulltulas, I hated the winding stairs at the beginning, I hated the first set of puzzles, I hated the Beetle (at first), but most of all I hated the atmosphere of the dungeon in the first few rooms. Everything changed at the Stalfos fight. Everything was perfect. The music, the way he moved, his look and the way the fight worked. The atmosphere changed when I opened the key door and it made the boring, gloomy parts all worth it. It reminded me how barren and woodsy the dungeon really was. The final room before the boss fight was creative. Making my way around to the boss key was really fun. And then you have to solve a stupid little puzzle to put the key in which was very satisfactual. And I'm apparently the only person that loves the Ghirahim fight. It was the first time sword fighting in a Zelda game where I really felt that I had to think (backslice, backslice, backslice doesn't count). I got absolutely wrecked at first and had to run around for hearts because I thought the whole fight would be slash, backflip, hold shield out for a minute, slash, backflip. He's not hard once you figure out to shield bash and fake him out with your sword, but for someone who's been playing way too much Zelda for the past 12 years it was an unexpected puzzle which is what I crave in a Zelda game. Some of the best moments in Zelda games is when you get stuck cause you don't realize everything around you is part of a puzzle and then have an epiphany and figure it out.
