Tiptoeing around the dungeon, waiting for them to silently drop from the sky, was a special kind of fear that was only amplified by Link's agonized scream if one managed to catch him. As a child, the anxiety induced by these b****ds was torturous. Amplifying the sense of dread felt within its walls are the dreaded Wallmasters - disembodied hands that fall from the sky to pluck the player and warp them back to the start of the dungeon. And nowhere is that horror more apparent than in the Shadow Temple.Īs the name implies, the Shadow Temple is the darkest of OoT's dungeons both literally and metaphorically. From the apocalyptic tone of the future timeline to the haunting shriek of a Redead, this is a game that clearly believed in the power of horror to tell it' story. However, like all good children's stories, there's a dark undercurrent running through the whole experience. Ocarina may be the least scary game on this list, as you'd expect from a game rated E for Everyone. Apologies for the salty language, but Wallmasters were the bane of many a nineties kid - specifically, those who played Ocarina of Time.
