The graphics are so primitive that everything looks scary. Most people remember that eel from Mario 64 as being so-bad-it's-scary, but daaammn. OoT is supposed to be at least a little disturbing.
But anyway, I was playing that Zelda promo disc for the Gamecube when I realized that I hadn't finished OoT (I stopped at the end of the Fire Temple, IIRC), and I made it to the adult phase in just a few hours. Then of course the world gets fucked up and Ganondorf rules the world and shit. The game was bad enough with the Redeads -- and post-apocalyptic Castle Town is full of them -- but now there's temples with ghosts and death and stuff, and it's in primitive 3D to top it all off. So I went to the Forest Temple, right? And the little multi-colored Poes flew out of their torches and left me to find them. I made it into the room where you have to push the blocks to climb up to the twisted hallway room. I started out speeding through it then I remembered that the Forest Temple had Floormasters. The room I was in was tall and full of narrow passage ways and sharp turns, a perfect place for Floormasters. So I climb a ladder and start creeping around the corner and all of a sudden...
Loud Voice: "LISTEN!!!"
Me: "HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK JESUS CHRIST PLEASE HELP ME GOD *presses B**presses B**presses B**presses B*"
It turns out that it was just fucking Navi wanting to explain obvious shit to me. I KNOW I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ARROWS, ASSHOLE, AND I KNOW HOW TO USE THE HOOKSHOT TOO.
But for real. It's a terrifying game because it looks so bad, and that's what makes it fun.
