The original Gold OOT cart had blood. Gannondorf puked up blood....I think atleast the gold one deserves a T rating. and The Great Fairy kinda sexually explicit for a E game back then |
The great fairy isn't explicit, she was a bunch of polygons covered with vine textures. The ESRB rating for OOT3D marks it as "suggestive themes" -- "Link encounters a few female characters that are depicted from low camera angles and dressed in outfits that display moderate amounts of cleavage." Even with improved character models, there's nothing sexually explicit about it.
As for the blood, I can only hazard a guess that the ESRB didn't see the very end of the game before making their rating. Then they found out about it (after release), and told Nintendo it would have to be changed for the game to keep its E rating. Just a guess. The odd thing is that even Ocarina 3D is marked down for "animated blood," while the GameCube and Wii ports of the original are only marked for "violence."
