A non-euclidean dungeon is one which is built in space with distorted fabric or has more dimensions than usual 3. Something like this:

Anyone find this mind-freak fun?

Reverse Stone Tower was amazing.  I wish they'd do something like that again in Breath of the Wild.

Not entirely sure how you'd pull that off in ZC without making something like the Fairy Forest in the Oracle games, with every room in the dungeon being set up like the Lost Woods. I did have the idea of a dungeon designed like one of those sliding-panel puzzles, with certain rooms that slide parts of the dungeon around, but without scripting, that would take A LOT of DMaps and fiddling with Tile and Side Warps. I mean, it could be done, but it would take forever and need a lot of prior planning to prevent the player trapping themselves. (Well, maybe something like Farore's Wind would fix it, but still...)

None of these examples except for the Lost Woods are non-euclidean, though, strictly speaking. The Lost Woods kind of have a Möbius strip topology, thinking of it...

Only if the boss is MC Escher. He's my favorite rapper.

But tbh, not sure how much fun it would be to play as an entire dungeon gimmick. It could be an area, or room puzzle though. Maybe you have to manipulate the perspective to advance past blocks?

Or Cthulhu. His city of R`Lyeh is built in 5 or 6 dimensional space.
