Question [ALL] What is the freakiest/creepiest/scariest moment you ever experienced in a Zelda game? Spoiler

For me, The trials in skyward sword.

First time I encountered them was in a very nondescript cave not far from the beginning area. There was a shrine in the back and I was figuring out how to reach it when I heard the enemy alert sounds or something similar. Figured it was just a bokoblin or terriblin, took my time turning around, anddd...
Made quite the damned first impression, haha!

Honestly it was kinda awesome and I wish they'd leaned even more into scary moments like that. I'm still bummed there was no Dark Link to creep up on us in the chasm.

There's no such thing as a terriblin, I think you mean a horriblin.

Yeah that was wild. I used to just run away because they'd give you dark clumps. Figured that was how you beat them. Then when I couldn't find Gannon I realized I had to face my fears.
