It’s an interesting discussion. I feel like horror movies don’t come close to horror games for me, personally, as someone who doesn’t enjoy either of them. The really scary horror movies that don’t rely on jumpscares to scare the audience don’t nearly creep me out as much as playing a horror game. You’re in the driver’s seat, you’re in control, whatever happens on screen happens to you. In movies, you’re fine off usually and can just dissociate yourself from whatever is happening on screen to the characters involved. My two cents

I think about this all the time.
Cremia and Romani’s failure state is so sad :’(

I think this was at the stage where K-A was no longer a thing. So all you had was E (3+) and T (13+).
Making this T would have been a bit much.

To piggyback on your point, I also think this came out when congress was balls deep fighting the music industry because those devil musicians like Eminem, Korn, Limp Bisquick were ruining the youth.
The sounds they made unfortunately live rent free in my nightmares.

To be fair, this is using an HD Texture mod and a higher render resolution, which increases the “scare” factor. The game didn’t quite look like this originally. It lacked a lot of detail and was slightly blurrier.
Kinda like how people in the past talked about how realistic graphics looked, but then comparing them to today’s graphics advancements makes that seem rather silly. Or how “realistic” DOOMs violence was, compared to the violence in DOOM 2016.
Also thiss is a screenshot from Ocarina of Time, not Majora’s Mask.

My girlfriend played this game several years ago for the 1st time, she does not watch horror movies, heck, she even thinks most anime looks terrifying for her, but she found the 3DS version of this game a masterpiece to a degree as labeling as her favorite Zelda game (I am unsure if she prefers it over BOTW and TOTK though).

Really? It’s a game.
Are you sure?
Pretty sure. A movie would have more impact than a 64-bit game to me. One is more realistic than the other.
I’m guessing you’ve never played the game, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying that.
Or they are too young and have only seen the more modern graphics and/or didn’t play the game till they were older.

Not sure about ESRB, but for Europe, PEGI has revised their ratings since then.
3D Zeldas used to be rated 7, but nowadays they’re 12. Including remakes of old games. OoT and MM 3D had their rating raised.
Being 3D automatically bumps ratings up, even Mario Odyssey and 3D World got a 7 vs Wonder’s 3.
Rated E for Everyone

Dead Hand fucked me up in 1998. I don’t think I’ve been quite right since.
The ones that suddenly jump on you and eat your face off are the ones that really got me.
The Gibdo.
