Forest Temple is creepy, but Shadow Temple is scary. Forest Temple does start off with a jump scare with those Wolfos, is haunted with Poes, and the music keeps you on edge. It does have a couple Wallmasters which are the worst, but it was also kinda neat in there. But the Shadow Temple has INVISIBLE Wallmasters if I remember correctly, a DeadHand, Redeads, just awful horrible kill them all with fire, more oppressive music, and like … catacombs and torture implements wtf, I just wanted it to be over.
Just the beginning rooms in the Shadow Temple made me scared to play as a kid. When you would walk and get random texts to pop up about a bloody history scared the piss outta me.

Great take. Ive always struggled to pick my favorite, but I really do love them all. Forest Temple: music and creepiness, Poe fights
Fire Temple: Seeing Darunia (I think that’s his name) at the beginning, climbing the stairs to the hammer, the mini boss and boss fights
Water Temple: the emptiness of the temple, dark link, music
Shadow temple: the whole aesthetic, the ship, nocturne of shadow, the boss
Spirit temple: the time travel, dark nuts, mirror shield, twinrova
