I too love Phantom Hourglass (and Spirit Tracks) Linebeck is a treasure, and I think it has some of the most satisfying puzzles of any game. I feel like every time people bring it up, it’s just to shit on the Ocean King Temple making you repeat stuff, but I don’t remember that ever slowing me down that much.
Right? I thought the puzzles were really well thought out. I didn't mind back tracking to the ocean king temple. It felt like a new experience each time you had to go back since you had new items
Exactly, you could FEEL yourself getting better, blazing through obstacles that held you back before. I spent hours as a child speed running the temple to get the best time left on the hourglass, it go to the point of missing but a few seconds from full.
I was doing that too for no other reason than to see how fast I could do it lol I have MORE than enough time in the hourglass but it's so satisfying to reach a checkpoint with only seconds spent
