It helped though because you slowly learn Grog is more of a sympathetic character than his appearance would lead you to believe.

You must be disgusting too!'ġ1 year old me is like 'WTF' and that wasn't even a phrase yet. I talk to him and immediately I'm sucked into. It’d get a mention, mostly thanks to that creepy, omnipresent. I really really don't want to talk to that guy, but the sun isn't coming up, and he doesn't seem to be attacking me, so I approach. If I were to list all the games that were ever likely to inspire weeks of nightmares, The Legend of Zelda wouldn’t rank very high. I start trying every door and quickly realize that was a terrible mistake (more on that in a bit).and I'm stuck. I remember thinking he was a boss or something and I hightailed my Link clear across the area! I'm doing everything I can to try and escape this guy! This includes running to the back of the eing the graveyard and Dampe and immediately turning right back around.

A kid sees a big tree in the middle of a big village and he immediately wants to roll into it! So I'm running at this thing and all the sudden this creepy ass looking dude is sitting under it and his head immediately darts up when I'm in range.

Looking back I blame N64's lack of draw distance for my initial fear of Grog. Although its mostly a family friendly series, 'The Legend of Zelda' sure has had a lot of creepy elements. So here I am in a new area and the entire place looks empty. If I remember right I was so horrified of those little skull things that attack you in the overworld I was just happy they weren't chasing me anymore! This was the days before fast internet and walkthroughs were expensive so I had no idea I needed to wait until day to progress the game. The very first time I entered Kakariko village it was at night.
