It's called the Skeleton Forest. The dungeon's name is Skull Woods User:RupeeLord/sig 21:04, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, you're right! The Wiki mislabeled it as Skull Dungeon, so I guess we're just gonna have to fix that. Dany36 21:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Classification

Shouldn't this dungeon also be classified as an earth dungeon. It seems to fit the description in Earth Dungeon, being underground and all Template:Nosig

I don't think that's enough to consider it an Earth Dungeon. If every underground dungeon was an earth dungeon, there would be a loooot of earth dungeons. — Hylian King [*] 19:58, 4 May 2012 (EDT)
Well, that's not the only thing that would make it en earth dungeon. Here's from the earth dungeon classification: "Earth dungeons are known for their dark, damp environment and organic, vegetative architecture". To me, the Skull woods seem to fit that perfectly (granted, the vegetation consist mostly of withered vines, but that just makes it even more "earth" than "forest"). On the other hand, it's currently classified as a forest dungeon, but to me the only thing "foresty" about it is that it happens to be located in a forest, the dungeon itself isn't any more "forest" than it is "earth". Another thing I'm basing my opinion on is that Skull woods has a lot more in common with The Wind Waker's Earth dungeon than it has with any of the other forest dungeons in the series.--Lennholm 09:28, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
Frankly, the Earth Temple is more of a "Shadow" dungeon than it is anything else. The fact that this dungeon is so intimately connected to the forest makes it a Forest themed dungeon, and the skulls and skeletons on the walls and the Gibdo make it a Shadow dungeon. Don't forget that the boss is Mothula, another enemy intimately linked to forest dungeons. To be honest, I'm not sure what an "Earth" dungeon even is, personally I think we should scrap it as an element (the only Earth Temples in the series are both Shadow and Fire based), but hey, I'm not fond of classifying dungeons by element in general anyway. Usually it's all in the name, otherwise it's subjective. User:Fizzle/sig 13:26, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
