Talk:Dungeons in Breath of the Wild

There are not dungeons, they are shrines. The dungeons haven't been revealed yet. Antondimak (talk) 13:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * They're the same concept as a dungeon. Technically in OoT they aren't dungeons, they're temples. But we still call them dungeons, because it's a catchall term for "location that you explore while solving puzzles to receive rewards". In particular, the shrines function nearly identically to most mini-dungeons. Peanutjon (talk) 14:26, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * But shouldn't we distinguish them in some way from the actual dungeons? Antondimak (talk) 21:34, 15 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Shrines in this case are more mini-dungeons than they are full dungeons. However that shouldn't mean that we shouldn't include them, as we do list mini-dungeons for other games. Shrines can be listed in their own section on that page, and they already are. 21:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Look up definition of a dungeon. It is a stronghold that holds something. These are not dungeons. They are trials or shrines. The monks are there to worship hylia and if the player passes the trial they get rewarded. If link had to overcome obstacles to get something being held prison like an item, or heart piece, triforce piece, or medallion than they would be dungeons. I used dictionary.com for the definition.

 * We don't necessarily go by the dictionary definition. A "Dungeon" in the Zelda series is just a puzzle-based location that Link explores to receive something or rescue someone. That describes this perfectly. Peanutjon (talk) 21:26, 12 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The Treehouse team wanted to differentiate Shrines as being more "puzzles" than "dungeons", but I'm OK with leaving Shrines on here on the condition that we specifically group them together.
 * Also the text adorning the interior walls of the Shrines literally say "dungeon" repeatedly. 01:33, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
