History NightmareFuel / TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap

** Doesn't help that the room after the second bell contains two Red Darknuts and a Black Knight, the combination of which is pretty much a BossInMookClothing. Oh, and taking too long to defeat them and get to Vaati and Zelda lands you the [[ItsAWonderfulFailure bad ending]] discussed above.

* It's not the ''scariest" thing in the world, but with the game's mechanic of Link shrinking down in size, it's kinda unnerving and tense just how even the series weakest enemies, ChuChus and an Octorok in question, become dangerous behemoths that aren't exactly the easiest to fight compared to normal.

* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon, Dark Hyrule Castle, has the chimes that play while Vaati is draining the light force from Zelda. The first two times the bell rings are scripted, but the third is up to the player. If players aren't fast enough, it triggers a NonStandardGameOver, and the player is forced to see Zelda as a permanently lifeless stone statue with Vaati triumphant.
** In general, Dark Hyrule Castle is full of Nightmare Fuel by its very nature. Just moments ago, it was still the relatively peaceful, if somewhat hostile due to Vaati's impersonation of the king, place it was before....but as soon as Link finds out where the Light Force that Vaati's been searching for is hidden, he himself enters and finds out before teleporting away to drain Zelda and transforms the castle. Link and Ezlo step out into the darkened halls and even ''Ezlo'' is unnerved by the change. Furthermore, the halls are now filled to the brim with the most dangerous monsters...
** Doesn't help that the room after the second bell contains two Red Darknuts and a Black Knight, which is pretty much a BossInMookClothing.

* Judging by the comment about her eyes being "full of life," it seems that Zelda is [[AndIMustScream still conscious and fully aware of everything around her even though she's been turned to stone.]] [[spoiler:And she was in the room when Vaati attacked her father, the King...]]

* Vaati's laugh comes from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask the Happy Mask Salesman]].

* King's Valley and the Royal Crypt, the latter of which contains an eerie reworking of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgf4S5fw1qM a very familiar old tune]].

Contrary to most predictions, {{Creator/Capcom}}'s ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games live up to the series' well-known quality. Too bad this includes the series' amount of NightmareFuel. After all, this is still NightmareFuel/TheLegendOfZelda. There's no Ganon here, but Vaati, [[BigBad the guy in charge]], makes up for that. Heck yeah, he does.
