7. Tower of the Gods (Wind Waker)
The third dungeon of Wind Waker is impressive from the moment the huge tower comes into view, looming high above Link’s small boat. The dungeon itself serves as a test for anyone seeking the power of the Master Sword.
When Link enters the tower he must do so while riding the King of Red Lions, as the entire first floor of the dungeon is completely filled with water. The overall objective is to find three different Servants of the Tower, and guide them back to the central room in order to activate a lift to the top.
Through a mix of puzzle solving and navigation Link can achieve this feat and continue ascending the tower. After doing so, there’s another section that has players scaling a staircase on the side of the tower with a gorgeous view of the great sea. The dungeon ends in an epic boss battle with Gohdan, a giant sentient statue that stands as the final test between Link and the Master Sword.
