This WAS, "Which dungeon do you hate most," but since everyone voted Water, I changed it to, "Do you hate the Water Temple?" So all the older posts reflect which dungeon they hated when the first version this poll was. On January 14, the poll has been edited.
So all those who posted to the original poll, please edit your message to reflect what the poll is now. AND KEEP THE LANGUAGE CLEAN! Thank you.
i hate water the most..... but ice is bad too
Water definitly in any game
I never liked the water ones. Mainly because they involved changing the water levels within them.

Oracle of Ages: Forgot about that.
Majora's Mask: There wasn't a water raising system. You had to work it so that water went through the right pipe or something like that. Either way, it was a bit harder than typical Water Dungeons...or a lot.
Water. *curls up in a ball*

Yeah, I counted it because it was just as hard. lol. And almost similar.
Definitely the forest dungeons. Just so dang boring, in my opinion. Why so much hate for the water dungeons? They usually have the most clever puzzles.

For me it's just in OoT and TP, but everyone else has fury for all of them. The LttP one wasn't hard.
As for the Forest Dungeon, I think you're wrong partway. The Ocarina of Time Forest Temple was pure fun for me. Good puzzles, layout, enemies (Except for Keese.), and boss. It was one of my favorites!
Water by far.
They're just so annoying.
Ice, mainly because the ice physics in most Zelda games suck. :(

I wouldn't call Lakebed Temple or the OoT Water Temple "clever," I'd call them annoying as hell.
A brief list of bad water dungeons in the Zelda series:
-OoT Water Temple
-Angler's Tunnel (LA)
-Lakebed Temple (TP)
-Jabu-Jabu's Belly (OoA)
-Swamp Temple (LA)
The single water dungeon that I've enjoyed is Great Bay Temple from MM.

What!? Jabu-Jabu's Belly was okay for me, but Great Bay Temple was one of the WORST Water temples!
And when did this change from the most terrible dungeon ever to the Water Dungeon Debate?

We're debating on whether the water-themed dungeons are the worst or not. Sounds like a valid discussion to me. It's just that 99% of this forum think debate is akin to flaming or going off-topic. It's not.
Water for sure. Those dungeon types are so annoying.

OKAY! I'm editing this poll later!
I hated Jabu Jabu's Dungeon in every game.
The Poll has been edited.
This is the best poll I've seen on Nsider. :P I'm glad other people hate it, too.

TP was easy. Mostly everything on TP was easy. Majora's Mask was hard, but that whole game was hard if you tried completeing the whole thing with the masks. The OoT Water Temple was hard as well, but not nearly as hard as MM. I hated the Water Temple because it involved so much going back and forth, but it was nice to have something hard mixed in with a fairly easy game.
I've always hated the water temples. Especially the one in OOT. *shivers*

TP: Easy indeed.
MM: Really!? I thought it was fun until you hit the Ikana Canyon...ugh.
I don't see why people say it's so hard. For OOt, the Forrest Temple was harder then the Water temple (for me at least.). TP, i didn't think it was that hard, non of the dungeon's really where. (I would comment on the one in MM, but i'm not up to that yet. Almost, but not quite)
it was hard but the easiness of the boss sorta made up for it.
I didn't actually hate the water temple in OoT; I enjoyed the challenge. Though it is interesting how in most of the games the water temple happens to be the hardest... Although the only actual exception I can think of is TP.
I personally hate this temple, i have beaten Orcarina of Time well over 100 times literally, and even tho i know this temple by heart now its still annoying....Shadow Link was still my favorite part in the game however.
annoying!
Hmm.. On a second playthrough of Twilight Princess, it seems a lot easier.
I'm playing Wind Waker now so I am going to find out how hard it is in this one.
Personally, I'm not sure whether to hate them or like them. It's not that the puzzles are too difficult for me to figure out, it's just that I often end up backtracking a lot and doing something over when I made a mistake somewhere, which just makes a long dungeon that much longer.
The water dungeons did have some fun boss battles, though. Dark Link was by far my favorite battle in the game, and bosses like Gyorg and TP's boss (whose name eludes me) made for an interesting battle (they're both trying to eat you while you're trying to kill them). Characters such as Wart (LttP, MM, and TP) and Barinade (and various similar incarnations) had an interesting theme to them as well (that being 'My millions of spawn will protect me and try to kill you at the same time! And when you kill them all I'll get mad and try to squish you!').
All in all, I liked the puzzles and the bosses, but hated when I had to do the puzzles over and over again.
Not really. I like some, like TP's and MM's.
But OoT's gives me a headache. Infact I'm 100% certain, I stop playing at that part on my second run-through.
The water temple is always the worst temple in Zelda games.
The water temple in MM really sucked with all the changing water levels. But I don't hate the water temples.
The WW earth and wind temple I hated the most. Water's okay.
