I picked level 4 because i believe in my eyes that it took the most work to complete.

Either Level 4 or 2 so picked level 4 just because I personally like where you had to shut down the factory to get to different locations then turn the power bcak to continue.

I voted for level 4. Just the fact that it was unlike any other Zelda level made me vote for it. Although level five (volcanic caves and end temple) was actually my favorite, but it's not on the list.

Level 5 was much smaller than those other 4 levels in comparison, but there were many other levels in the game as well, although they weren't numbered:

The Optional 6 Triforce Dungeons
The Dream Dungeon
The Ice Palace
The Cultist Cave
The Catacombs
The Oderra Hideout
The Master Dome

Lots of awesome levels there.

As for levels 1-4, my favorite is definitely 4 for its high creativity and challenging puzzles. You really have to think when it comes to unlocking a few of those gates. Also, the custom boss battles in that level were especially well done.

For the other levels, I would say my favorite was the Catacombs. So many levels of descension, and so many special clues to take note of as you progress through them. You could really sense the darkness and creepyness of it too. Graphically it is hard to find anything like it (just like many other parts of the quest).

I had to pick Level 4. I love mech style, it's layout and gameplay was great with some serious extras, the power changing and the gate opening were epic, and... there's story to it! Previously, I thought Peteo hated Mega Man X6...

But I know Peteo likes Level 2 better. But players have a tendency to love dungeons that have the highest Level number... not because the number, mind you.

I'm glad to see some interesting comments. I probably should have put the ones that Nathaniel stated above, but I was only focusing on the main dungeons in the game. I'm sorry I haven't been making these polls in awhile. I probably should start making them again real soon like every week, so next tuesday I'll have another interseting poll to talk about. Until then enjoy life and hang in there.

Out of the optional levels, I'd go with the catacombs. It's so dark and creepy. Although the dream was also amazing. And funny!

I have to go with Level 2. It could have been more polished in certain areas, but the design was great. I thought it was a masterpiece, definitely my favorite place in the game.

I personally like the Mech Factory (who said it was bio? It made robots, not creatures! lol) myself with the sky garden (fortress wtf? its a garden ya nit!) being a very close second. I'll admit the garden is confusing as frick and that secret pathway underneath the catwalk probably stumped many people (even though I told Peteo a hundred times to make it more obvious, he didn't), it is still an awesom level.
As for the optional levels, the Catacombs is definitely an awesome one, the dream dungeon is a fun one to play through, however the ice palace is probably the lowest one on my list since its....well...boring. The boss is awesome however.
The six triforce dungeons are a breath of fresh air, especially since each one has a special gimmick to solve/complete.

Sorry DarkFlameWolf I just haven't played the game in awhile thats all.
So I just made up the best names possible to match the levels that were created on Lost Isle.

Oh and I got the main factory mixed up with the laboratory part of the fourth level my bad! icon_redface.gif

I hope you all have enjoyed my 7th poll. My 8th poll will be something a tad bit different. icon_wink.gif

Well yeah. Level 4 was the hardest level to make and it's the level I'm most proud of because I still don't know how I was able to build something so complex and still make it work. icon_blink.gif

But Level 2 is still my favorite level because IMO it is the best looking area in the game and I just love the atmosphere. It's not a perfect level because those under catwalk-parts can be a bit annoying, but other than that I think it is a great level and it is the favorite of all the levels I have done in Lost Isle or in MMDWR. icon_smile.gif

Yeah, it's a tie, awesome. icon_smile.gif
I'm glad to see people like those 2 the most since level 3 is bit more like a "traditional" level and not so special as these 2 that are leading.

The poll would have been much better if all the bonus levels were included, but oh well, too late to change that now. icon_razz.gif
