I think everyone feels the same way!

Water bad. Land good
owlbsidian
It still haunts me and it seems I'm not the only one that is still terrified about it. Thanks OP!
Mrbigmick
I dont know man, that fucking Piano. The eel scared the hell out of me, but that god damn piano

terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
rufiooo
Haha i forgot you could fuck with his head. What a great game.
SpiceBot
When it wriggles about, takes a bite of your snout! That's a Moray!
AcroCat32
That's what meeting a Goliath grouper on a wreck dive is like.
aaronthe7
love this game.. one of the cooler parts as well.
Trea47
I literally had nightmares about this bitch. Seeing him now after all these years he doesn't look as huge as ai remember lol
Hovenbeet
Yes, and I still remember the music.

The easy way... the best way to play with that fish
BaconOctopus
Now that's what makes Subnautica scary. If you love that feeling of terror, go check the game out.
smallfrie32
God i want more of it. I enjoyed that game so much
Well they are making something like a spinoff in an arctic environment. Totally looking forward to that.
Cranbananarama
The sea snakes from Majora's Mask.
TheNiteWolf01
When I was young, I was playing Majora's Mask. I made it to the boss of Woodfall Temple, and it scared the shit out of me.
Spettel
Reminds me of the giant whale thing from Banjo Kazooie
sSsSara
I used to ask my mom to come sit in the room for support during these stars and Big Boo’s Haunt. That carousel music... yeesh.
HQDefault
This never bothered me as a kid. It was the fucking piano that got me.

This is why I hate deep water..
TheodoreBuckland
That, and the fish in Half-life.
adaquo
whats the deal with the fish
whitey211
I was thinking the same thing.
alldaypizza
That scared the shit outta me the first time I dropped in that water in half life. Panic screeched the entire time I was trying to get out.
DavyDavyDave
Recently started my 5000th play through and it still gets me all jumpy.
AnimeGirlThighs
This is why I have a long standing fear of water in ANY game.

EmperorWiggles
I hate all underwater levels.... "ALL UNDERWATER LEVELS"
sonicfusion2k
Always hated that level. Think it was also cause of the depth of water and lack of light.
HttpWayne
You would hate that N64 Star Wars game with Dash Rendar. On one level you go underwater to fight a tentacle/spider monster in dark water
That would give me nightmares ?
WyldStallynsRule
Great music though: https://youtu.be/-KUWykOjvEs
shadow of the collosus has that one eel boss where you literally have to jump into a pitch black lake with the giant beast
THEREAINTNOWEEPININTHISHOME
Swimming levels in games always suffered from bad perspective, causing distance to be harder to judge, too.
Sxualhrssmntpanda
Distance IS harder to judge underwater, though
nerdyfan
The level that I hate Is the Clock, that is always a bitch for me
I forgot all about that level until you mentioned it just now, and I agree. On a side note, I love that lava level where you can surf
RedBlueGreenRedBlueGreen
But the music is beautiful.
I was going to say that. I could listen to that looping forever.
dangerousmelon
I still hum it to this day and I haven't played the game since I was a kid.
Goodnewwseveryone
Same tune as Dire, Dire, Docks
https://youtu.be/e3TgqDaIYdU just for the nostalgia, bc yes it’s good music
doctorbombay
What a great damn game
chocoooouuuuh
Same with the zombies tomb in Ocarina of time
FrozenScarecrow
For me it was when the wolf howls on Hyrule field and the stalchildren start popping out. I was not ready for that when I was young.
rollilolli
It was the freaky eels/lamprey in the Zora Egg quest for Majora's Mask that freak me out the most.
punner
As someone afraid of spiders the first boss was something.
FancyPantlessTeaParties
Or this guy:
Fox2SpookyMulder
Dead Hand! The stuff of nightmares.
ExpendableIndigo
What about freakin Deadhand?
fingernailradio
The way those damn things latched on to you was terrifying.
HylianDweeb
I went through the redeads so many times and they jump-scared me every gotdamn time.
Flyms
I was already to scared to fight the first boss in the tree dungeon. Maybe because if was 6yo at that time.
MuckDuck1
Gohma!
HoldThatTHOT
I had to beat the forest temple for my best friend because he was too scared of it. He recently replayed the game and he's still scared lol
PMmeYourFeetLadies
Yeah I got my younger cousin to beat the well for me, LOL.
TheMovieGalaxyQuest
The music is so weird, it triggers something deep inside my head that wants to get far far away
Ace4815162342
I was sick the first time I played it. Had fever induced stress-dreams with that music in my head alllll night.
AlwaysInDenialSon
There really was something unsettling about the music. I loved that it set the tone so perfectly for the dungeon
I know exactly what is in that dungeon, inside and out, but I still feel like something else is lurking there. Really good stuff
BonelessBecky
This, and that damned piano
Thatsmykenku
Bro, that piano mimic in the boo mansion. True terror
Dude, I could hear those distorted notes while it chomped at you while I read your comment! The shit we faced for eight red coins, right?
elburro129
It's out there but I didn't save it, sadly.
Yeah it would be the scariest of waifus xD

I'm both surprised that this exists and surprised that people manage to dig this up in a matter of minutes.
HairyPicklePuller
Because of this level, I don't want this game getting an HD remake.
GeraldMcSwagginthorp
Try playing the remake of Shadow of the Collosus. The original was so big and terrifyingly beautiful. The water was very unsettling. GG tho!
ialwaysexpectthespanishinqusition
just put the crown on it
tornadosandwich
It did kinda, for the DS when it came out. Not really HD but a big graphical improvement
nightrein
This and the fucking piano.
mleouf
It already exists. SUper Mario 64 on Nintendo DS
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Nah. They’ll likely dumb it down for people who are too scared of the pixels.

That’s cool
pareidoliaperson
I think there is a psychological subconcious reaction to minimalism. The reason I'm not at all interested in all that graphics in AAA games.
Or the triple A games for that matter. Give me gameplay instead of cutscenes and when finally over, it goes to QTE.
KingDizi
My theory for why older games could get to you so badly was that the graphics made your brain fill in the gaps with even worse imagery.

Masonimal
Pentacus
They got a HD version in Super Mario Odyessy and Mario Kart 8. They're still terrifying (though not as bad as That Fucking Piano was in 64)
Arthas51
Was looking for this. +1 for that damned piano.
Cyzyk
Subnautica is basically the HD remake of this level.
TheManInTheWall
Now I need a game like subnautica except 30% darker and with a more realistic, less stylised art style
goatamon
Yep. It would give me terminal heebie jeebies,but I’d play it.
TheBOULDER
Affirmative. After playing that game, The BOULDER sticks to collecting minerals in the shallows/red sea grass areas.
Look at how terrifying Gravemind became between Halo 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary. Stuff of nightmares
TheRoyalDong
I love Halo 2 and this is the first time I've seen Gravemind like this. Holy crap!
legogavin
Halo CE flood were ruined with its remaster, i still love it but man it's not terrifying anymore.
captainikag
https://youtu.be/nyZpDKebN4M "What is THAT?"
Any of y’all remember the electric eel in Shadow of Colossus? Played when I was a kid and god it still freaks me out. Fear of open water man
duuuude i commented this on another comment...but yeah holy shit, i just youtubed it right now and got the willies. my lord
Ah glad people still remember it! I loved that game so much
But the first time I dove underwater and just saw the whole thing. I had to set the controllers down and leave
a lot of those bosses sketched me out as a kid. I remeber the horse one kind freaking me out a bit
I’d love to go back to it just to relive it. And I enjoyed the solitude of it. Just the colossi, you, and a horse in such a big place
Agro!! Agro!! Yeah I totally feel you. My best friend and I beat it together, switching off each collosus. Top 3 favorite games for sure
