Daily Debate: What Is the Scariest Zelda Enemy?
Posted on October 18 2021 by Heather Beard
It’s officially spooky season! Many celebrate the month of October with scary movies, fun costumes, and even scary video games. Since it’s spooky season it begs the question, what is the scariest Zelda enemy?
As a kid I had a terrible fear of Redeads. Ocarina of Time Redeads specifically. This Zelda enemy always freaked me out, and I remember after the first time I played Ocarina of Time that they gave me nightmares. When they appeared again in The Wind Waker I didn’t think that they could get any scarier, but they did. I can still hear the in-game screams. It gives me the shivers just thinking about it! Another contender for scariest enemy would be the Shadow Beasts from Twilight Princess. There’s something dark and chaotic about them. It seems like the kind of enemy that was born from one’s nightmares. I wouldn’t want to run into either the Redeads or a Shadow Beast in a dark forest, or dungeon.
What do you think, what is the scariest enemy in the Zelda series? Let us know in the comments below!
