Hello, and welcome to the dungeon maker. Here's the first part of my dungeon... enjoy! And if you want to do your own, don't hesitate to post it here. It doesn't need to be in the same style as mine...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWILIGHT TEMPLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a temple in a clearing of a dark wood, shaped in the form of a pyramid. The top of this pyramid is swathed in a dark cloud, which is constantly swirling and manipulating the surroundings. Enemies that Link would usually only associate and expect from his wolf form in the Twilight World are prowling the surroundings. This place is clearly very controlled by the Twilight.
Link, ever brave, enters this clearly evil place.
And instantly is transformed into a wolf. This transition is even more painful and dangerous than usual, partly because he is out of the Twilight World, and partly because there is no Midna around to save him. Trapped in this form, Link runs through a little archway… which was booby-trapped. As a human, Link would have been seriously injured: Only a wolf’s speed and dexterity could have avoided it.
Through this booby-trapped archway is a circular room. The outside of the room has five different doors:
One is where you’ve just come from.
One with a picture of a star.
One with a picture of a whirlwind.
One with a picture of a wave.
One is directly opposite you.
In the centre of the room is a mysterious circle of light. As Wolf Link enters this light, he transforms back into his human self. Allowing him free to open the door to the room directly opposite the entrance. This door, despite being normally activated on one side, is switch activated on the other. This room is basically a very boring looking square room, with just one heavy vase (hint, hint). The only thing of interest is a small quivering animal in the centre. It seems desperate to speak to you, but how can it with you being a human?
Putting the heavy vase on the switch means the door will remain open even when Link leaves the room. In the main room, Link hookshots himself up to a hidden platform overlapping the ceiling of the room and he finds a dark patch of twilight, which transforms Link to wolf form. Link leaps off the edge of the hidden platform, and thanks to the heavy vase on the door switch, can go through the door. As a wolf, Link can speak to the animal:
“This place used to be a happy home for us. But then this darkness came and overshadowed us. It took the form of the a thing we recognise and disappeared into the top layer of the pyramid. Unfortunately, it’s impossible for us animals to get up there to fight it, and besides none of us would be brave enough anyway. You seem brave and clever, can you help?
Oh, and before you go, here’s a piece of star. It’s the only way to get into the room with the star on it…”
With this information and piece of star, Link enters the white light again and as a human can get through the door with the star. Suddenly, three mysterious creatures from the Twilight World appear, Link manages to defeat them, but it is much harder than in wolf form. As the wolf, with extra fine senses, Link can see a hidden doorway in the wall but can’t get through it. (You can tell it’s a hidden doorway by a - now recognisable - green aura.) Link memorises where the hidden doorway is.
Wolf Link runs through a series of traps to another piece of white light, and transforms back into a human. But, as a human can’t get back pass the traps. Suddenly a heard of new creatures appear, made completely of stone (the ones we saw in the second trailer that had green lines on them also). Link is currently unable to defeat them but, with a bomb, he temporarily paralyzes them, and they act as a temporary platform for Link to jump on to another hidden platform in the ceiling. There, there is a switch which deactivates the traps.
Link jumps back down and runs along the traps, the stone creatures hot on pursuit. Quickly, Link uses the Gale Boomerang to blow away the wall covering the hidden doorway and goes through it.
Behind the doorway, are some steps leading downwards. As Link descends downwards, he soon realises that they are never-ending. (Paying homage to the never-ending steps in Super Mario 64, maybe). Link notices that there are brackets which are unlit. Using his fire arrows, Link lights them and instantly the steps have an end in sight. They split down two ways.
The left way, is a room of stagnant water where some creatures from the Twilight are residing. If Link defeats them a chest appears with the dungeon map in it.
Link, for now, takes the right fork which leads him to an almost Egyptian crypt, complete with tombs and coffins. Keen-eyed explorers will notice that the “hieroglyphics” on the walls, show something very odd. Is there a never-seen before race of beings in Hyrule? On approaching one of the many tombs, Link gets petrified. The Redeads have returned. When Link is freed, and has defeated all the Redeads, there is a particularly large tomb in the middle. On approaching this sight, Link notices that the tomb is open. Ever brave, Link jumps into it. It leads into a room with two treasure chests in it. One has lots of rupees in it and the other has a:
Gale Stone
A mysterious stone which is shaped in the form of a whirlwind.
As soon as Link gets it, a patch of Twilight appears and some Twilight creatures come out of it. On defeating these, Link enters it and turns into a wolf. No sooner has Link turned into a wolf then there is a rumbling sound, a huge boulder crashes down. Link runs along a secret passageway, which has many turns and bends, making it very hard for Wolf Link to outrun the boulder, which is crashing after him. Eventually there is a warp vase which Link dives into just in time to be warped back to the central room, where he turns immediately back in to a human.
Using the gale stone, Link opens the door with the picture of the gale on it.

TWILIGHT TEMPLE TO BE CONTINUED

What d’ya think? I’m trying to make it more action-packed but still with puzzles than a normal Zelda Dungeon.
