The idea for the game began with the name,[6] which is a pun on "goolies", a British slang term for "testicles".[7] According to designer Gregg Mayles, the name of the game materialised after he overheard someone mention "being grabbed by the goolies", and thought that it would make a suitable name for an upcoming Rare game.[8]

the game that scared me the most was Earthbound because a combination of factors led me to believe that giygas was going to destroy me irl.

For you, the day you killed the redeads in Hyrule was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. Or another day, I don’t remember

My friend would lend me his OoT cart whenever he got to a room with redeads in it bc he couldn't handle it. I would get whatever he needed from the room and then save and give it back

shadow temple scared the poo poo out of me and it felt like playing a horror game but when i finally braved through it with all the stalfos and illusions and the soundtrack i was scared shitless opening the boss door but behind it was just loving bongo bongo a big monster who loves to play bongos lol

I wasn't ever scared of redeads except in "just picked up the key, better grit my teeth for phanto" way, but maybe I'm just okdz it looks like I was just barely a teenager when I first played it.

Zelda is a creepy game series, though. lot of people experiencing the italicized end of an old horror short story in the bg like grog in OoT, that guy who gets turned to gold in twilight princess, deku butler's son, flute boy in aLttP, etc

instead of concerning yourself about the adult section of a game from 1998 concern yourself with the adult section of your life in 2021 imo

The whole series, to varying degrees, has this really distinctive sense of melancholy, too.

I remember as a teenager I was talking about the giygas fight to my friends, hoping somebody else had played it so they'd know and could back me up, but no one had, and I was too embarrassed to say that it was hosed up and scary, so I landed on something like "weirdly abstract and emotionally draining for a kid"
which is kinda true but if I was being honest I would have just admitted it was hosed up and scary

I think the thing that scared me most in OoT was the skulltula house, but once I learned they were just people who needed help, I felt ashamed for finding them scary and I just wanted to help them. games are nice

Peach’s Castle has such a lonely, empty vibe. Never played a game that fully replicated that feeling.

The one room in the upper right? area where you enter the giant fish tank stage. Something eerie about it. The garden also
