Temple Ranking!

We're back! Find out how each of our resident sages' homes rank when compared in different categories!
Ever look for the perfect house? Of course you have. House hunting is WILD! This list ranks each temple on how comfortable it would be to live in them. This one assumes that you cleared out the traps and enemies, unlocked the doors, and were free to redecorate later.

Livability:

#1. Forest Temple :forest: - This place has everything most modern day house hunters seek. A large home that is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Clear out the cobwebs, skulltulas, deku babas, and ghosts, and you have yourself a nice mansion full of good-sized rooms. You may have trouble getting an internet connection and utilities out there, but the place is so lavish, I think you wouldn't miss it too much. Plus with a little persuasion, you could probably get some trenches for cables laid through the Lost Woods.

#2. Earth Temple :earth: - This temple is built a lot like the Forest Temple in regards to living in it. It has plenty of diverse rooms that could suit a plethora of needs and uses. The mausoleum its self would be a great bedroom. Redecorating the many huge rooms would be a bit of a challenge, but I bet you're up to it. The Wind Waker islands aren't very sustainable as far as food goes, but this is the EARTH temple. Grow some crops and catch some fish. As for power, set up some solar panels...

#3. Fire Temple :fire: - Another well laid out temple with good sized rooms. The lava that fills many of the rooms would limit redecoration. The major flaw, however, is that your electric bill for air conditioning would be through the roof. Your utilities would be ran directly from Goron City. The Gorons make for good neighbors too. They kept the place pretty functional and there are a good number of outlets. One problem: water may be a bit scarce...

#4. Shadow Temple :shadow: - Proximity to Kakariko Village makes this a real easy place to power and stock with food. Problem is that there are no outlets in the temple...at all. To tell you a secret, I had an ethernet port installed in the torch room just outside the entrance to get my internet fix. Other than that, it's all natural. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You shouldn't have any problems getting a clean water line taken down there. There are a fair number of rooms where you could set up an office or bedroom. You'll have to spend some serious cash if you want electric lighting in there.

#5. Wind Temple :wind: - It has a lot of open space, but apparently there is electricity infrastructure already built in. That saves you a lot of money later when redecorating. The soil here seems to be fertile enough to support whatever weeds are currently growing in there. It has also been demonstrated that growing trees here is a cinch. You'll have no problem getting food in this island temple. The only reason it ranks so low is because there is just no private space to set up a bedroom.

#6. Light Temple :light: - A great two roomed bachelor pad that has existing utilities. The only flaw I can see with it is that it gets very cold here in the winters due to lack of insulation. Plus any noise made in one spot will echo all over the place.

#7. Water Temple :water: - This is a real classy place but unless you are a swimmer, getting around your own home may be difficult. Plus, ask anyone who owns a pool; maintenance will be a bit troublesome. Room sizes are pretty good, but living here would be too much of a hassle. Never mind the difficulty with getting in and out, but you regularly have to adjust the water levels to move about inside. And running utilities down there would be an even bigger struggle. If you can get all that set up and worked out, the place is pretty cool.

#8. Spirit Temple :spirit: - This is a good place for the family of many. Lots of private rooms that could be set up to the inhabitant's preference. The big problem is getting utilities taken through the desert and throughout the temple. First the utility lines wouldn't even be straight...they'd have to follow the winding path that stupid ghost takes to lead you to the oasis. Then imagine tearing down walls to get electricity. That won't be cheap. Oh and food will be another problem The nearest town is Castle Market (or maybe Lon Lon). To get there, you just have to go through the neighborhood of thieves. It's just not in a good neighborhood and is very expensive to decorate.

This is brilliant. Sadly I cant think of any more topics for you to cover other than music.

OH WAIT how about how good each would be for use as an evil lair?
