too young to play zelda... scarey?

hahaha i think i know why, because of the sword, but 12+ is too badly overated!

Forest Temple was pretty eerie (freaking wall masters) , and the Shadow Temple...

Let's not forget the eerie wailing that was the dungeon music, the bloodstained torture devices lying around, the undead monsters....

and the Dead Hand. *shudders*

Damn, this thread is old.

Pretty much the only things that SCARED THE **** OUT OF ME were the giant spiders from TP...i'm so arachnaphobic, so pretty much every time I cam accross one i hesitated, and when i fought it, i just kept slashing and slashing, (in wolf case, biting,) doing a spin attack whenever i could...
The boss of the ToT wasn't too bad... seeing as you hardly had to get close to it.
But seriously, the most horrible thing occured last night....i was doing the forest temple during a playthrough, and i came to this room where there were holes in the floor, and i went down....it was dark as hell, and right after i landed a (can you guess?) giant freaking spider comes straight up to me and attacks....i killed it immediatly, but i SCREAMED LIKE HELL...

Despite all of this, i'm glad they put them in TP, because it gives me a chance to face my only physical fear.

OOT is scary because of Navi. The 12+ rating is because of Great Fairy fan service.

Yeah, it depends on the kid, but I think the 12+ rating is cause redeads and skeletons with a combination of possibly the creepy illia cutscene with dark magic, or/and the creepy/dark stuff during the game. they couldn't rate it E for everyone cause five year olds afraid of their own shadow would play about twenty minutes of it and then wet their pants and complain and their parents would sue the game raters.

By the time the more "mature" Zeldas game out i was already 17....so no nothin in there really made me stop and think about rating wise...(aside from those Great Fairies in OoT)
TP is a little mature but not too bad...if i was a parent, i would not think twice about letting someone 7 years and up to play that game..(albiet they may not understand much) but as a game its pretty harmless...nothing too violent..there is that scene that commences after obtaining the third fused shadow that may freak out younger players but other than that...really...not a big deal...

i was 5 years old when i first played OoT i never got scared

Scariest Zelda game for me was the skeletons who came out of the ground in OOT, and for some reason I was scared of water.

eh heh..
When I was 10 i was scared to go into every single dungeon,I'd always be too scared of the monsters. XD
Even now,the forest temple creeps me out,and I always get scared when I'm in one of the rooms where wallmasters jumps down on you..

Hated those floor/wall masters. I remember in the spirit temple they were invisible and I purposely never used the lens of truth so I did not have to look at it. Once I entered the room I just used dins fire to quickly kill it.

the only thing that scared me was phantom ganon!!!!!!...bad memories

I was nine when I first tried OOT (completed it last year though, never owned a copy). I have never thought Zelda being to scary for me. When I was nine those boos in Kakariko village graveyard creped me out a bit.

The only thing that really scared me in video games was the music. The forest temple in OoT creeped me out.
