Darkest Zelda game?

[Narrat0r]

Skyward Sword is coming near, but... it's all bright and cartoony. I thought of an idea: ask others what would be the darkest Zelda game?
In my opinion, it's Twilight Princess. It was violent, it had lots of scary moments, the world felt dangerous and in peril. And it's rated M in Australia.
Still, Majora's Mask is pretty damn dark too - the whole different dimension thing, moon crashing, and yeah, Oni Link.

i said Majora's Mask because that game got some creepy looking creatures in it, but as for visual dark itself, i would go with Twilight Princess... hope Skyward Sword is gonna be good!

I voted for Twilight Princess. I am playing it with my father atm (we are at the snowy mountains, collecting the first fragment of that mirror). The game has many scary moments in it and if i think of the creatures there and some scenes i really think this is the darkest Zelda game.

Did you get to the "not take mirror" part?

I voted for Ocarina of time... Just fight the last battle with Ganon... Is there any darker moment in Zelda history? And it is said to be the most epic fight on N64, and all zelda games, So, ocarina of time (BTW crowned best game ever as well).

I voted Majora's Mask. There's a shitload of underlying messages and hidden nuances that most don't even think about on their playthrough. Like this.
And: "An entire playthrough of the five big "zones" in Majora's Mask is a trip through the five stages of grief.

Clock Town is denial. No one in the city wants to admit the moon is going to fall on them.

The Swamp is anger. The Deku Scrubs are rushing to kill a monkey they blame all their problems on, yet he had nothing to do with any of them.

The Mountain is bargaining. The Gorons, freezing and starving, perpetually keep hope that their dead hero will come back and save them.

The Bay is depression. The Zoras lost their dead singer, and just sit around all day and mope.

The Valley is acceptance. With no more transformation masks and virtually everyone in the zone already dead, the only thing Link has left to conquer is himself.

It all has to do with how Link's can't really save everyone. Even after introducing the game as a quest to find Navi, he never will, but by the end we can accept that. One of the game's opening lines mentions that he is searching for a lost friend, and one of Tatl's last lines at the end of the game is 'Well, both of us have gotten what we were after...'"

Wow... didn't see that one coming. Majora's mask was pretty damn dark and cruel, yet still... it's rated E. XD (Well, Aaron Stone show is rated Y-7 and it's still dark and violent as sh*t)
