this shit must've been scary as a kid, does any other zelda game have death and blood?

Those raping enemies in the graveyard scared the shit out of me.
>>740300545These guys? It's an interesting angle kek
>>740300631link owes me sex
>>740300075Redeads were scarier because they were in most other larts of the game. This was a one-time boss kids would have forgotten about quickly after beating, but they were forced to go through the market square numerous times. Having the contrast of all the cheerful people in the square as young link then seeing them as corpses was what was truly frightening as a kid
>>740300075I recently played OoT and MM for the first time and despite reputations nothing in MM comes close to how freaky Beneath the Well is.
>>740301527Yeah, there's actual blood on the walls and skeletons everywhere, I wasn't expecting that in an N64 game.
>>740301450>Oh boy, I just got the Master Sword and grew up into big Link, what's in store for me?>Oh, the townsfolk are all zombies>They're all screaming zombies>They're all zombies that paralyze you with their horrible stares and scream in your face as the camera zooms in just so you can see how awful it isI wonder if anyone on the dev team felt they might've overdone it a bit.
>>740301450are redeads actually the people from the square?>>740302975I was Zelda had balls to be this dark again.
>>740300075I had to turn the sound down at this part.
>>740302975>the townsfolk are all zombiesThey have actually taken refuge in Kakariko. Kinda takes away from the moment when you learn this.
>>740303278what even is this thing? It looks like an animated pile of flesh from Asylum in Shadow Man.
>>740303557Right but that's what it looks like the first time through the game going from one vista of the town to a hellscape of it afterwards. I find it hard to believe that it wasn't the devs' intention to have the player think that's what happened at least initially.
>>740302975The fact that they stunned you taking away your ability to escape or fight back really added to the horror element. Those things were legitimately terrifying as a kid.
>>740300545>>740300631I was unironically more scared of the redeads than the death hand or whatever it's called. their moans, weird movement, that SCREECH that paralyzes you and their rape attack were too much for me as a kid
>>740305280That scene in Wind Waker didn't have blood in it, however there is blood in other parts of WW. The only reason they didn't put blood in the Ganondorf scene is because they didn't want the game to be rated M. Zelda games now wouldn't have the balls to do the scene in the first place though. Have you seen Echoes of Wisdom? It looks like a cartoon for 3 year old girls.
>>740303009>>740302975not only that but the entire purpose of the sheikah, beneath the well and shadow temple painted the royal family in a whole different light. they weren't the goofy fags from other games, they were morally grey and knew the shit they had to do to maintain the peace.
>>740305280>>740306283>>740305484Why can't Zelda be mature again? Why can't there be any blood?
>>740305484the death hand isn't even hard either. Arguably the redeads can put you in more danger if you get frozen
>>740308398because back then gaming appealed to a subset of people, now that Nintendo and other companies want mass appeal all the edge and soul was sanded off as to not offend anyone. that's why the canon is shit too, so normies don't feel excluded and any new entry is a "safe entry point"
>>740309065so fucking lame and gay. People keep fellating nintendo even to this day but a lot of their games are mediocre now. The only reason they have such hardcore fans now is because the industry is in an atrocious state.
