I did the Forest Temple when I was smaller, and it was pretty creepy. Then, I walked into a room and Navi told me "There's a monster that lives on the ceiling."
Wait, what? There's a monster on the ceiling?
It took so much courage to run out of the doorway of that room.

The Shadow Temple was the one that really got to me. That was CREEPY, with all the invisible guillotines and spiders and fake walls and stuff.

I did the Bottom of the Well a couple months ago. I walked into the Shadow Temple, heard the music, and promptly saved and quit.

The Shadow Temple is like the Bottom of the Well only creepier and twice as long.
The boss was really really easy, but I guess the Biggoron Sword kinda does that to things.

I stopped doing temples after I got stuck in the Fire Temple and just did every side quest I could. I found so much to do in that game, even if I wasn't doing anything story-related.

That's one of my favorite aspects of it. You can always find a horse race or a mask trade or some poes to catch or a sword to acquire when you get bored. Twilight Princess really, really, REALLY lacked in the sidequest department. As far as I can tell, the only "sidequest" was donating a total of 1000 rupees to some goron so that he could open up a shop.

It didn't even need to be a sidequest. I could make my own fun, whether it was exploring, roleplaying, cliffdiving...

Yeah, I would do stuff like that too. Open-ended gameplay, back before the term was raped to just mean that a game has two different endings.

I enjoy Oblivion and I must've logged 150 hours on one character (while only beating one questline). But I know what you mean.
Even in The WInd Waker I had fun doing the same stuff as in OOT. Too bad 90% was water.

I played that whole game with the sound muted and my own music blasting. Sailing wasn't so bad when it was to De Futura.

I just didn't like the fact that there was so little area for you to run around in. It was all good, though. I've held off on listening to music in video games because I'm afraid I might miss sound cues or something. I remember once I was playing OOT muted and some random Guay flew OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE and scared the living hell out of me. Lon Lon Ranch at night = bad idea.

I was just exploring! Seriously, I don't think I've ever had a fair fight with a ReDead.

Minish Cap was good, about as good as the 2D ones get.
And while it may not be cool to actually whip out the GBA anymore, it's still pretty cool to emulate (but only games that you own or else it's illegal).

My kids and their friends hog the Wii and the PS3 most of the day.
So if I don't want to play them or my 360,I play DS or PSP.

Haha, I can just picture Jody in Tool t-shirt, sleeves rolled all the way up to show the tats, and black metal blasting in the background, cradling his DS as he enjoys a few hours of Phantom Hourglass in all its cell-shaded glory.

You want an even funnier picture?
A few months ago I wanted to play something on DS but was bored with the games I had.I asked my son if he had anything good I could play,and he loaned me a DS game of his.I looked at it in his hand and laughed and laughed and laughed.He said..."Dad,just give it a chance,it's a great game".I grudgingly started playing it,got hooked,and played it every day for almost two months.
The game,you ask?
Pokemon Diamond 
I sh*t you not.
