Shadow Temple: Someone nominated "Your favorite temple," and it's the Shadow Temple. I like it because it's nothing like the rest of the game, but it fits perfectly. For no reason, it's talking about Hyrule's bloody history that it wants to forget, but it tells you nothing about it. It just throws lots of skeletons at you, which is great. It's got illusions, it's got undead, it's got grossness, it's got shadows, it's got everything. It's easily the most imaginative temple in OoT, and I have a hard time thinking of another in any game that's better. The fact that it's just right next to a town, too, like it's not even that much of a secret. Bongo Bongo isn't even close to my favorite boss, but he's at least still memorable. No one remembers ****ing Arrghus from LttP, get out of here with your discount Beholder.

Morshu: The thing about the CD-I art, and what I think has made it so enduring as meme material, is that it looks simultaneously cheap as dirt and super detailed, to the point of absolute hideousness. I feel like cheap animation in the modern day is either CGI or very simple 2D animation with circular heads. The CD-I Zelda art, like, someone clearly spent time drawing and animating every frame of these hideous monstrosities, way beyond the point of reason. Like, you could have more easily drawn a normal-looking thin shopkeeper who maybe raises his hand up and down while he talks to Link, and it would have looked better and less ugly, but instead they made this super animated fat guy, with lots of details that must have taken a lot of time to draw... and it looks horrendous. It looks much, MUCH worse than the cheapest, laziest indie VN with only one drawing per character that you could buy on Steam right now. I just can't explain it. It's too much effort to be lazy, it's too much effort to be cheap, and yet it's undeniably lazy and cheap. The game would actually be better if it was like a Final Fantasy title, and the cutscenes and dialogue are just character sprites moving on the screen and text boxes saying "blah blah blah." I just can't fathom the decision-making process that led to these cutscenes. The voice acting, sure, anyone can hire crap voice actors off the street in 1993, but the animation is what gets me, because it has the hideous and abstract-y feeling of like Rugrats animation, but dialed up to 11, and I can't tell how much of it was intentional, or why.

Link vs Cloud: It's not even the most compelling GameFAQs Contest rivalry. I'm not even sure it's in the top three. I think what makes this so legendary to us is that it's the only one that can actually decide who wins a contest. Mario vs Crono is fun, but ultimately, it only matters for your point total. Link is just so overwhlemingly powerful in these contests that he is objectively not defeatable except with shenanigans. You just can't touch him, and that's an accepted fact. But the one character who ever did, the one character who ever damaged that should-be perfect record, the one character who reached up and slashed the face of God, was Cloud Strife at his zenith. The fact that Cloud even scored 40% on Link in the last contest I view as Cloud's victory. It's a moral victory for sure. It's like, this rivalry is obviously very one-sided, and Cloud will never be able to do anything like it again (if we even have another contest in the future), and Cloud is no longer even really comparable to Link in terms of general video game noteriety, but it was something. It's something fun that changed the contests for the better, and I appreciate it for that.
