What is your opinion on the scariest dungeon in the long, 25-year lineup of all the Zelda games? Let me know below!

My pick would have to go to the Arbiter's Grounds in Twilight Princess. I say this mainly because of the ReDead's looks, with the ominous red eye and all. Also, the sound of Link's screams when he drowns gives me shudders. My second would have to be the Palace of Twilight, mainly because of that hand that stalks you and tries to take the Sol from you.
 
I haven't played too many zelda games yet, only having twilight princess HD and Tri force heroes, the latter not being scary at all. I only got the Master sword yesterday in TP, so outta the three temples I've been to so far the scariest is the lakebed temple, the sounds are so eerie.

The Lakebed Temple was probably up there for me, too, until I reached the Arbiter's Grounds.
 
Aside from the typical Shadow Temple and Below the Well dungeons which are obviously creepy, I found that the Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time had a creepy vibe to it :p Perhaps it was the music and the way the dungeon was designed and the dark rooms which made it so.

The Swamp Palace and Thieves' Hideout from A Link to the Past were some good ones worth mentioning too.
 
I enjoyed Majora's Mask's Stone Tower Temple. The gimmick of flipping the entire dungeon on its head and as a result having two pathways in the temple to explore is a pretty interesting concept. (With dual-music to boot!)

The final boss is satisfying to beat as well since in MM3D Child Link uses his fists instead of his regular sword and shield approach.
 
forest temple mainly because i was stuck in there for 2 years the music really gets to you when your trying to solve the puzzles also the hand what drops from the wall is a bit unsettling Q.Q
 
bottom of the well and shadow temple i had nightmares for a week

Out of the games I've played (Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Ocarina of Time 3D) I'd have to go with Bottom of the Well (OoT), although I hear that there's a dungeon in Majora's Mask that's scarier/ creepier O_O
 
Well, of all the Zelda dungeons that I have played, I would have to say that the creepiest of all of them for me was probably the Earth Temple from Wind Waker. While Wind maker is not known for being particularly creepy, this dungeon was a real change of pace, adding in Redeads, dark colors, floor masters, and a looming purple fog.
