Future Scary Temple

Bring back the ReDeads in my opinion.
Remember playing OoT when you were seven-or-so years old? Creepy embryo things wearing masks dry-humping your neck?

In Majora's Mask, they even danced... ugh.

Then they ruined them. In Wind Waker, they're big purple things, and in Twilight Princess, they're just... not scary for some reason.

Bring us back some real ReDeads, put a load of them together with a few walls around them, and add a sprinkle of the ambiguity of Majora's Mask... there's your creepy temple.

Yup, that made good scary temples before.

The ReDeads in OoT STILL scare the crap out of me. I hate those things. They look like scary possessed dolls or something. Must needs some of those in creepy temple, but with better graphics. Scary doll-mask puppet things+really awesome graphics=scare everyone half to death when one jumps out.
The ReDeads in Castle Town twitch.

Here is MY Idea

I think my scary temple or as I call it "The Death Temple" or "the Hell Temple"would be awesome.The boss isn't in just one room.HE's roaming rooms at random.Since the boss isn't confined...If you see him while in a room TAKE COVER or else it will kill you on sight.There is one main room(and tons of other normal rooms) that is a maze.And in the maze you have to do different tasks to get to the next room.Tasks such as Slaying a demon,surviving in that room for so long without killing enemies while they try to kill you,even fighting things that cannot be seen by anything.There will be times when every thing goes wrong,you get stuck 1,000,000 times in a row,or you're just to scared to continue.There will be Scary SCARY SCARY music in the temple.It will change a couple of times throughout the temple.There will also be times when demons pop out at you and SCREAM REALLY LOUDLY.(like a screamer video)You WILL have nightmares while playing this temple.There's going to be screaming everywhere you go.And there is going to be blood oozing from the walls. Oh and the mini boss Is roaming the temple also.It also isn't confined in one room.However,When you get to a certain room you fight the miniboss.And at the end of the temple you fight the boss In the main room.(or you can call it "the maze room")

IS my Idea awesome and scary or what?

I like the "scary" atmospheric dungeons/temples myself. The next one should be... Hmm.. It's so weird that I can't think of anything. All that comes to mind is a big forsaken house or castle with spirits and stains of blood. But that is too cliched. I'll just leave it to the hands of Nintendo. Hell, it's not like I direct the game anyway

ReDeads are the only enemy in the dungeon but there are different variation. They still do that screaming thing but some are holding swords and stuff. And the last boss is a giant flying redead and his scream does 1 heart of damage. The only way to beat him is to shoot his kneecaps with arrows then he falls and you slice him in the head. That would scare the hell out of me lol

Doesn't anybody like my Idea?

I feel your pain. I've been trying to come up with a scary dungeon for a while, but nothing comes to mind. All I can think of is a dungeon where instruments of torture line the walls, skeletons hang from the ceilings, and the sounds of screams emanating from the depths of the dungeon tell you that people are still suffering.

What about some kind of medieval mad professor's laboratory/headquarters dungeon? Kind of nice-looking, with marble walls and pillars, and some silvery or golden ornaments. There could be typical laboratory equipment, but medieval-styled, all made to look sensible in comparison to how Zelda is in general. Bronze tanks full of strange liquids, with various animal enemies in it (like Octoroks), along with horribly mutated versions of regular enemies - more or less eyes than there should be, warts, deformed faces, crippled, tentacles, all that stuff. I keep imagining ChuChus with various objects (like shovels) pierced through them. The final boss could be the result of one of the most terrible experiments the professors (to fit better, they could be called "alchemists" or something) made. A mini-boss could be one of the long ago dead professors, now a Stalfos. Acid could be a common theme in the dungeon. This, along would with some sort-of eerie/creepy music would be at least slightly unnerving, wouldn't it? I do prefer "scary" dungeons to be mysteriously scary, rather than all that gore-trauma-corpses-screams stuff.

The long one before you would make the game nasty and AO. that's good... Maybe there's a darknut you have to kill, and when he's dead, he's dead. He doesn't explode just lays there. You have to pull your sword out... How about...
The Legend of Zelda: Bridge of Kesh.

Kesh: ancient demon. Controls the town with the cathedral and makes it a bridge to his world. Maybe, in a symbolic way, the boss could be fought in a chapel. When he dies, an Iron Maiden or some other type of coffin-like instrument falls and closes on top of him.
What about a guy you have to fight. when he dies, he talks to you and you find out he's just doing it for an important reason, and has a family to support. (Like Gadderanks in Runescape.) Maybe a wall that talks to you, and bleeds if it's attacked. (get the reference?)
OOOOOOOOOH! really creepy idea. Creating life from death. You fall into a pit of skeletons. You lay like one of them, trapped and slumped in a relaxed position. Blood trickles from your mouth. something you see triggers a flashback from when you were young. You struggle to stand up, and pick up a femur. (your sword was taken from the villain that pushed you into the obliette.) You jump a mighty leap, and grab onto an iron bar on the trapdoor above you. YOu step out, and face the (final?) boss.
What if there was a room with two cups. you go up to the table and see a creepy person telling you to pick one. there's no way out. If you drink, you'll only die. you'll always die. you kill the guy in one swing and the table disappears. A bat flies down and starts to eat him. it motionss upward and a ladder drops down. Your way out. Next time you visit the room, the man is a mummy of sorts. Dried and desiccated. (30 points if you get the reference.) Seriously, anyone get the reference?

I know where tyou got that reference is from it is from the book enders game when he is playing the simulation game and he kill the giant instead of drinking the poisen from both cups

That's... pretty good, to tell the truth. The only thing I don't like is the mini-boss. It seems a bit... "meh," if you know what I mean. I think another, smaller experiment would suit it better. Also, in regards to the acid, would it be something that would sap your health away as you swim in it, or something along the lines of the lava from TP?

Why thank you.
And well, I can agree about the mini-boss. But it depends on whether the dungeon is early in the game or late, and what kind of Stalfos there are in the game - if they were the easy-beaten skeletons that jump and sometimes throw bones, the mini-boss would seem a little better in comparison, while the warrior Stalfos would make the mini-boss look very lame.
Concerning the acid... It would be similar to the poisonous water of the Southern Swamp in Majora's Mask, doesn't it sap away health, too? I don't know how the lava in Twilight Princess works, since I haven't played the game yet.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Sum1 got meh reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
PWNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
TTLY PMP!

YOU WILL LIKE MY IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!OR ELSE

Have it copy horror movies. Have JOLTS. In enemies and music.

Specifically? Have rooms be completely dark, with a torch you can hold or a lens of truth as your only guide.

Yeah, the swamp water did something like that. The lava from TP was insta-death.
