It was always the water temple for me as an unmedicated ADHD child.
As an adult it’s laughably easy.
I’m lucky that I have really good spacial sense, I’ve never hated water dungeons the way a lot of people do.

Day 1 US release. The original Legend of Zelda was my first grade school crack addiction, no way I wasn’t getting OoT on day 1 back then.
