Changed line(s) 2 from:

High Octane:
-Anything from Twilight Princess (rated T).
-Anything from Majora\'s Mask (pretty sure all of that was intentional, and it\'s definitely scary to adults.
-Anything about monsters that are obviously meant to be horror monsters, such as redeads, skulltulas, gibdos, etc.
-Anything that has to do with Oot\'s Shadow Temple. The entire theme of it was horror, so it was definitely intentional. And it still scares me today.
-Same deal with the Earth Temple from WW. That was a similarly themed temple, so intentional.

Regular Nightmare Fuel:
-Any monsters that don\'t have particularly scary designs, such as Peahats, but still scare people.
-Anything from the \'cel shaded\' style of games. Those were definitely more kid-aimed.
-Anything from the 2D games.

So I know that it doesn\'t really fit the definition that well, but I think it would be better to at least have the examples somewhere, rather than just deleting months of people\'s work for nothing. Some Sort Of Troper keeps deleting entries, saying that they don\'t fit Nightmare Fuel, but then he doesn\'t move them to High Octane or anywhere else, just deletes them outright.

Regardless of whether you don\'t think they are scary, somebody found them scary, and they deserve to exist here. Isn\'t that the point of a wiki, to share ideas knowledge with others? Even if the games don\'t have tons of blood, gore, and body horror, some parts were still truly terrifying due to atmosphere, sound, and surprises.

I don\'t believe that the Zelda series is only targeted towards children anymore. Otherwise, why would TP be rated T? Nintendo knows that it has a massive adult fanbase, so I think that they also target them as well. I actually know very few children that play Zelda.
Anyways, it would be a ton of work, but if others agree with me I\'d be willing to organize everything myself. I don\'t want for all of the interesting examples to just be stripped out the the main Nightmare Fuel page, and lost forever.
