I have to agree with you that the silent realm gave me such a heart beat, it provides the suspense that I haven't felt in a long time playing a video game. On the other hand the one thing I would change from the game is the fun fun island quest. I don't know maybe give it a different take on how...
A friend once told me about the story and the game, I got interested so he let me play his game cube version of Oot Master Quest, since the I just fell in love with the game, I've been playing it ever since!!!
