So I was kind of wondering, doesn't this room seem like it'd be enough to give the game a T rating or something?

So apparently esrb ratings take the game as a whole into account, so like if the entire game was the shadow temple it would be rated T or maybe M. But since the shadow temple is only a fragment of the game it has less of an effect on the rating. That's how they do it

What about the great fairys though, they are practically naked.

I think part of the reason some stuff like that slipped kinda under the radar was also due to graphical limitations masking aspects that would've driven the rating up if, say, they were rendered with modern graphics. Take the remake, for example, where the same blood effect was removed and the game ended up getting an E10+ rating as a result.

Maybe, but the back of the TP box for GameCube claims there is "blood" but I don't really remember ever seeing blood.
when you strike the bokoblins sometimes a little purplish blood will explode on sword strikes iirc

edit: it's a "boss creature", one boss creature emits small puffs of purple fluid when stabbed. maybe king bulblin

I thought so, but it was still rated E. It's a bit strange, since they made the blood green in the NTSC 1.2 cartridges and in later versions.

The blood from the X in OoT3D was removed, so they must have realized that it could push the rating or be a problem.

Along a similar line, they removed the blood from the bottom of the well and changed the lighting and contrast so it's far less intimidating now. I did like the change to the prow of the ship that ferries you down Styx in 3D in the Shadow Temple though. You take the good with the bad.

Gotta love how torture rooms are A-OK, but as soon as you show whatever this is…

Nope you gotta pump the breaks there speed racer, you’re gonna have to be a bit more subtle than that if you wanna go around poisoning our youth with your Sega CD gizmo on my watch.
