Happy birthday Fae! Always great to see new videos from you.

(I've been watching your LPs for years but just got round to making a SA account the other day so hey, I can comment now. This is weird.)

This dungeon blew a lot of people's minds back in the day, and for good reason. It's one of many reasons I wish I'd tried to play this game without a guide, but I was something like ten or eleven years old when it came out and just defaulted to buying the guide with the game. Even replaying years later as an adult, I remembered too much to get the full experience I think, so it's fun getting to experience a bit of that vicariously. They haven't really managed to improve on the design either; I think the beasts in Breath of the Wild were an attempt (and I do really like Naboris) but those are all pretty small and contained, so they don't benefit from the comparison.

That said... I don't know what you've decided about it (I know you've played further and finished the game on stream at least), but if you want my 2c I don't think you should bother with the faeries in Stone Tower. That lava rolling puzzle is utterly infuriating to deal with, and while the reward could be said to compare to Biggoron's Sword in some ways, it's not in the good ones IMO. I've honestly never used it much even after getting it (though I can't seem to stop myself from getting it because completionism), the Gilded Sword is much more convenient for various reasons and there's a different item that feels much more like the game's Biggoron sword to me. (I do hope you go after that one, though, that's worth seeing.)
