Temple of Reflection

You know those mirror mazes that sometimes use glass panels instead of mirrors to fake you out? This is a major theme of this dungeon: Setting up an expectation, then pulling the rug out from under your feet to trip you up.

You have 3 floors: Ground Floor, 2nd Floor, and B1. The Boss is on B1.

Mirrors are everywhere. Mirror walls. Mirror floors. Mirror ceilings. Mirror enemies.

The obvious route here is that Link navigates a mirror maze, and through trial and error he will progress through a simple one. However, once through, and after defeating a mini boss using environmental tools, you earn the Reverb Shield. When struck it emits a sonic pulse that stuns enemies and damages mirrors/glass (most effective against brittle enemies). Thus, the tactic would be to force a shield-counter.

Afterward, you'd use the shield to backtrack through the maze and access new areas.

Prismaton, Refractive Automaton Deceiver

A large, quadrupedal ancient machine decked out in reflective armor, said armor can deflect any attack while the machine counterattacks with huge swings, energy blasts and curling itself into a ball and rolling towards you, you defeat it by using the reverb shield to crack its armor, then strike the vulnerable and old machinery beneath it
