Ocarina of Time Is the Shadow Temple Really That Scary?

[TheWakerofWinds]

I played it this year... so I wasn't scared of it. (I'm 13) I think when your 8... probably.

Oh god, don't remind me... That and Bottom of the Well. I don't understand how Ocarina of Time was rated E with the presence of those two places. They traumatized me when I was little, and I'm still scared to death of them to this day. I may be 19 years old, but the ReDeads, Dead Hands, bloodstained walls, and torture devices sill terrify me. Yes, Ocarina of Time may not have super realistic graphics, but a game doesn't have to be really realistic in order to be scary. Of course, it would be even scarier if the graphics were more realistic... That's why, as excited as I am about Ocarina of Time 3D, I'm already dreading the thought of playing through the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple again, with newer, improved graphics, and in 3D, no less. It's going to be absolutely traumatizing... I can just imagine Dead Hand reaching out its long, gory hands at me in 3D... It'll be torture! ;_;

I personally thought it was a little creepy the first time, but the only thing I thought was creepy was the eyes on the walls which were red!

It's not scary at all. I love the shadow temple, but it was too easy. The only creepy thing was the invisible skulltulas and those guillotines.

I was 8....... i think....... when i first saw it anyway. it would still terrify me, but it would loose it's magic if it didn't.

The Shadow Temple is probably one of the most terrifying locations in the entire Zelda series to date. Then again, not everyone would find anything within the series scary, if they're too old or just simply too boring to be frightened.

The Shadow temple was scary. Now, I'm not scared of it anymore, but still find it creepy... It's not as creepy as the bottom of the well though. With blood all over the wall, skulls, invisible holes, redeads,...

I played MQ first, and the Bottom of the Well in there is 3 times worse than the original OoT. So I thought the Shadow temple was scary like that as well. >< It scared me so much that I decided to go around, entered and finished the Spirit temple - child before the Shadow temple. I really didn't want to go in there...

I didn't really get scared from the Shadow Temple and the bottom of the well. Was it creepy? Maybe. I was probably 11 or 12 when I first played it, so I wouldn't have the same reaction as someone who is 7 or 8.

Besides, I'm one of those people who isn't scared of a guy with say, a bloody chainsaw, but jumps and freaks when I get surprised by small things.:xd:

I think it would have been scarier on TP.

It does make the heart race a bit, but it's still enjoyable.

[figthersword]

The first time i entered to this dungeon it's just like nothing to me, i didn't scared and i doesn't looks scary at all.

The first time I played the Shadow Temple I think I was around 4 and yes it scarred me I was freaked out and didn't play it, then I came to my senses and played and beat the temple an hour later.

Did you play this game at night? because according to your statement... you didn't play for an hour and you was freaked out.
