    A frequently overlooked water level found in Majora's Mask has players becoming insanely fast, water breathing, dolphin people spiraling about the ocean floor.
    I for one love the idea that underwater combat ought to be more akin to an aerial dogfight with jousting melee weapons than it is a slow and ponderous Elden ring style mismatch of player and enemy speed.
    If only we could really capture speed in these games.

    On a serious note, ya'll Kraken week vids are awesome. I always love using different zones with massive fights. Would you recommend that each zone give you bonuses on success and penalties if it is left too long, which might cause the party to split up?

    This video is a blessing, since I added a flooded room to my dungeon with the Banjo Kazooie shark in it, and had no idea how i'll run it this saturday!
    Pro tip: You can easily add a water section to any dungeon by just turning regular doors into airlocks. Also, an opening in the ceiling of a flooded room can bring an easy access to the level above it.
    As an extra, here's an awesome underwater trap, courtesy of the Prismatic Wasteland blog: a cool and visually aluring sword is enbedded in the floor underwater, but it is covered in a strong adhesive that isn’t soluble in water. So if you grab it, have fun finding a way to get free before you get out of breath!

    Okay, of all the various "Kraken remasters" I've seen on Kraken Week, I like yours the best. I've been off and on dabbling in how to bring in "Shadows of the Colossus" style monster fights to D&D for years now, and never thought of them like dungeons (although I do tend to think of them as environmental hazards, but in the sense that I wouldn't give an avalanche hit points so why would I give a kraken hit points).
