@Hylian King: Well, yes, none of the electricity dungeons listed would be light dungeons. I was just saying that light and electricity seem to be connected theme-wise, much in the same manner lava and fire are (though, obviously, lava itself is not fire). A good example of this is the Tower of the Gods. Part of the reason I suggested switching the element to "metal" was because, in all honesty, I didn't immediately recognize any "electric" theme when playing through the GBT or GM dungeons. What I got was more of an industrial and metallic vibe. Even the music for those two dungeons has metal-sounding elements to them. As for the Misery Mire, there were metal spikes, metal platforms, and blade traps everywhere. Another dungeon that could possibly be metal-themed is the Unicorn Cave, since you often had to use magnetism to pull yourself to metal objects. There may be more that I can't really think of at the moment. [[User:Mata Nui|Mata Nui]] 22:28, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Wouldn't it make more sense if this was called "Metallic Dungeon" or something along those lines? I think these dungeons (minus Jabu-Jabu) reflect metal more than they do electricity. Plus there's some other dungeons like the Misery Mire that could fit in that category. "Electric" seems to be something more associated with light dungeons, anyway.

Interesting observation (too bad this is going to delist the JJ Belly dungeon .... man, that place can't win even once!). Let's wait a while so more people can drop a take on this! --User:K2L/sig 21:42, 6 November 2011 (EST)
