Unironically the Deku Tree in OoT. Spiders are scary, big ones more so. I had to have my mom help me. I was probably 4 which is too old to be doing that shit but I guess I'm just a wuss. Strangely enough the Shadow Temple wasn't as bad.

They weren't so bad in Melee because they couldn't really paralyze you. At any rate, what mainly scared me about them wasn't their appearance, it was those damn moans and shrieks. Those bastards at Nintendo knew what they were doing.

If we're talking adrenaline-pumping scares, it was the bees in Animal Cross- I mean Forest (the Japanese n64 version). After shaking the nest out of a tree I'd run around anxiously looking for shelter. If you're quick you can catch them every time though.

I don't know about "scared" but I remember that some stuff in Phantasmagoria 1 was kind of disturbing (the force feeding is something that I remember). The spiders in Thief 1 / System Shock 2 were kind of creepy. The haunts in Thief 1 were sort of creepy.

There were some eerie moments in The 7th Guest & the 11th Hour that were effectively creepy. I remember being a bit weirded out when playing Alone in the Dark 1 a few times. There were some jump scares in Doom 3 that I remember.
