Theory: Check Out This Deep Dive into the Purpose of The Shadow Temple
Posted on July 01 2022 by Chakell Herbert
Even after so many years, there are still unanswered questions about the immersive dungeons in Ocarina of Time. One temple in particular that has gone down in Zelda history as one of the most unnerving and terrifying is the Shadow Temple, and NintendoBlackCrisis (known for his deep dives and theories on Zelda lore) is on the scene with a new theory video all about this nightmare-fueled dungeon in the backyard of Kakariko Village. He explores the possible purpose of the tomb-like Shadow Temple, the history of the Bottom of the Well, and the possible origins of the terrifying entity Bongo Bongo. NintendoBlackCrisis also offers a viable and thoroughly researched analysis of these iconic dark elements from one of the most-beloved games in the series.
This video is definitely worth the watch. His pointers are sure to spark some scintillating conversation with your fellow Zelda fanatics!
