Legend of Zelda Scariest Moment In Zelda History?

[Metalbro]

Beneath the well and Windwakers Redeads.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

I would have to say that the silent realms in SS scared me the most. You're utterly weaponless and have to collect various tears all the while trying to avoid being killed by living statues. Whenever they started to move, the music would always make my heart beat. Sheesh. It still does.

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

Wind Waker ReDeads.

Their actions...

Oh God Why...

 

[Simensis]

ReDeads... All about them... Their look, their movement, their mourns, their screaming. Majora's Mask didn't help also.
I remember I had to mute the TV everytime I played all the seemingly creepy parts.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and that also includes the ones in the Meele adventure mode.

Playing Wind Waker when I was like 6 and seeing those giant tornadoes, I just turned off my game. I couldn't handle it.

As a kid it was Hyrule Field. The helplessness you feel when the stalchildren show up at night was surreal. I remember I was too afraid to get to Hyrule Castle, my older brother was too afraid and people we invited over to the house refused to touch it (one of these played the hell out of Hexen most of the time so it was weird he wouldn't).

It must have taken us weeks to build up the courage to do it. I can't tell you how relieved I was when adult Link didn't have to deal with that crap though it started being less scary the more heart containers we got.

Those freaking Wallmasters and Floormasters in OoT. When I first played OoT in 2008, they used to give me nightmares just for how they looked and behaved. You can't imagine the mini-panic attacks I had when I was in a whole room of Floormasters in the Shadow Temple!

The whole Bottom of the Well dungeon, while it's fast and easy to complete, is downright unsettling for me for how some of the areas aesthetically look.

All of Legend of Zelda: Adventure of Link.

Also those Moblins(bull dog/bear things) on the way to the forest temple. Those things left me in shock the first time.

In my opinion deadhands trumps all the other scary things

I could be the unoriginal guy and say The Moon from Majora's Mask, but I'd like to also share my first experience with a Zelda game, when I was about 7.



The game was Oracle of Ages, and I still wasn't very sure what I was getting myself into. At first it was just a pretty girl singing surrounded by animals, but then the creepy music came in and I instantly tensed up, as "Impa" revealed herself as Veran, kidnapped Nayru and turned the fleeing animals and townspeople into stone. It was HORRIFYING... And I LOVED IT!

It was also really creepy how the construction of the Dark Tower kept progressing as you advanced in the game. You would exit a dungeon and your triumph would feel overwhelmed by the ominous feeling of that malicious place reaching further and further towards the skies.

And how to forget this particular tune... It still gives me goosebumps to this day, and is one of my favorite Zelda themes period.

Silent Realms and Zant at the Lakebed.

 

[Phislamajama]

for me it was easily when i was 5 with my brother and dad walking into the 9th dungeon and hearing that the music had changed from the other dungeons, blew my little mind,

 

[ScottPompeo]

Link putting on the Deku Mask was kind of freaky to me when I first had him put it on. None of the transformation masks bothered me after that though.

Those mask transformations were absolutely brutal. To have a normally silent character to suddenly scream in agony... damn.

 

[Cowzorz]

Majora's Mask.

Ikana Canyon.

The music box house.

Enough said.​

 

[AustarusIV]

Renting Ocarina of Time as a young'un back in 1999.

Exploring Hyrule randomly before going to Kakariko Village and visiting the Graveyard.

Go into the Royal Family's Tomb and encounter a swarm of ReDeads.

--> Cue childhood trauma.

 

[Omegascizor456]

I would honestly have to say the creepy laugh of the happy mask sales man and everything else about him... it just gives me the chills haha!

 

[Heroine of Winds]

The ReDeads, Seahats, & the Big Octos from WW. If the haters think this game is kiddy, then they haven't seen these creepy enemies.

 

[Xzsmmc]

Maybe I'm weird, but when I was young, I found Dead Hand hilarious. His goofy grin looks more silly than frightening, and the way he runs away after you hit him makes it look like he threw out his back.

 

[Mysteltainn]

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - The entire game when you are 10 years old.

 

[ThatNintendoDude]

The Skulltula House and the Well in Ocarina of Time. Could not deal with it as a kid. It's odd, since Kakariko was maybe my favorite location otherwise.

And in Majora's Mask, Ikana Canyon. Specifically the music box house. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. Even playing now as an adult, I still tense up a little bit when playing that part, remembering how I felt as a kid.
