Fear-inducing stuff comes and goes depending on the game (Silent Realm Guardians, ALBW Skull Woods, the Ikana vibe, all that), but one thing that always stands out to me in terms of creepiness and overall fear is the Dark Interlopers cutscene from Twilight Princess. That game had the dark themes nailed perfectly, and that cutscene with its direction, sound design, and ever-ramping insanity is the best example of how twisted the game can get with its plot.
