WaterTemple

One of the hardest dungeons ever conceived. Legend says that at the beginning of time, the Gods created the Water temple to trap beast of myth, The Minotaur, but decided it was to cruel of a punishment for any living being.
Yourself : "Oh cool! Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! I wonder why I haven't played this for so long!" *Loads game. Spawns in WaterTemple* You: "FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-"

Water Temple 

Considered by many to be the equivalent to a complete rectal examination.

The Water Temple from Zelda 64, which has to be the hardest, most difficult level known to man. Ever. Filled with traps, mazes, puzzles, illusions, and who knows how many times you have to raise and lower the water level.

Every gamer I have spoken with has only rude, vulgar things to say about the Water Temple - and many stories of trial and error - using the wrong keys on the wrong doors, saving and screwing up in the wrong places, forgetting which rooms were which... it's a hellhole.

It is also used outside of the gaming world to describe a problem that is virtually impossible to solve.

The only thing I don't get is why they put the hardest level in the middle of the game.
I spent four fucking hours in the Water Temple and I still have no idea where the fuck I'm going.

Water Temple Screwjob 

1) The point in the water temple where link comes across a locked door with no small key on hand and must back track through the entire temple to find the key, most notable time when TV screens and controllers get broken.

2) A rare occurrence where link uses a small key on the wrong door and cannot access the last small key leaving the player to restart the temple or worse the entire game. This is also known as the Mega Water Temple Screwjob.
"Hey did you get the water medallion yet?"

"No man I got to the last door and found out I didn't have the last key to unlock it, so I threw my game away."

"Aww sounds like you experienced the Water Temple Screwjob."

stuck in the Water Temple 

A phrase describing something so incredibly confusing that you have no idea how to get through it. Comes from the Water Temple in Zelda 64, one of the most insane levels I've seen in any video game, ever. No joke - EVERYONE gets stuck in the Water Temple when they play this game, usually for weeks/months/years.
"What am I supposed to do next?! GAH! This is like being stuck in the Water Temple!!!"
