History NightmareFuel / TheLegendOfZelda

* You can hear the boss roaring one room away from it, and it contiues to roar as you fight it.

*** In ''Ocarina of Time: Master Quest'', there are ''cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly''. Some are ''partially submerged in the walls, can be shot for slingshot ammo/ used as switches/ exploited for milk (no plausible way to get milk from jutting cow heads exists), and one is completely submerged under water'' (or whatever that green colored stuff is in the giant fish's stomach). And they're all alive and eager to give you milk.

** In PhantomHourglass and SpiritTracks, Keymasters appear. They're basically cel-shaded glove-like hands with an eye on the palm. As the name suggests, they will chase you down and steal the Big Key from you. In [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]], Zant's Hands do the same thing with Sols.

As if a [[NightmareFuel/TheLegendOfZelda page for]] NightmareFuel wasn't enough, sometimes the King of Evil and his minions scared us and meant it.

* The very first(?) ''Zelda'' [[http://www.glitterberri.com/content/zelda_series/loz/manga/manga011copy.jpg manga]] is notable for its many interesting changes to the source material--unfortunately, one of those changes is the manner in which Ganon is depicted. Originally, he was a giant blue pig; here, he's a razor-fanged, bloodshot-eyed, practically-unstoppable [[EldritchAbomination abomination unto nature]]. (That image in the link? That's taken from him looming over the first [[spoiler: and soon to be dead]] Princess Zelda, and he utterly ''dwarfs'' her) And the demons that he leads? They all share those characteristics. ''All of them.''

* Wallmasters, Floormasters, and any offshoots they have are largely regarded as some of the most disturbing things in the series. They are disembodied hands that crawl around on their fingers. The Floormasters swipe at you with their finger-hands or turn invulnerable and fly at you, and when you kill them, they split into three small ones that do more damage and grow into big ones. The Wallmasters hang on the ceiling, invisible, until you walk under them. An ominous [[LeitMotif leitmotif]] plays, the room grows darker, a shadow appears on the floor, and you have a second and a half to jump out of the way before they fall down, grab you, and carry you to the start of the dungeon. [[TemptingFate It's a good thing they don't appear in the Water Temple.]]
** In {{Phantom Hourglass}} and {{Spirit Tracks}}, Keymasters appear. They're basically cel-shaded glove-like hands with an eye on the palm. As the name suggests, they will chase you down and steal the Big Key from you. In {{Twilight Princess}}, Zant's Hands do the same thing with Sols.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIUpU1HIs10&feature=player_detailpage#t=16s This video]] shows a great reaction to a Like Like in the Fire Temple. The person screams and starts to laugh/cry at the same time. It's hilarious.
** Worse: In Ocarina there's one early in the Spirit Temple in a room with a climbable wall that will actually fall ON TOP of you.
