It does make me feel the slightest bit better, but they're still spiders and therefore are still creepy. It makes no sense to me either. I have to (no matter how tired I am) read past the section in Harry Potter 2 with the giant spiders or I'll have nightmares for ages.
Thanks for the knowledge about the GBA games! I knew I could use them in the DS, but wasn't sure if there were any Zeldas for it.
Edit: Dad just pointed out that I have a valid reason to be scared of spiders. I was bitten by one when I was about 6 and couldn't walk for a day or two. Scary.
