They made an even worse one in Super Mario Odyssey.

Somebody on the various Mario dev teams must be terrified of eels and wants to share his phobia with the rest of us.

Have to agree with the Eel from Mario 64, it was also very unexpected for the title.

Also the Zombies in Zelda OoT had me as a kid. They seemed okay from a distance but when they daze you with their stare, than latch onto you as seen below was bloody terrifying.

Damn right, from their blood-curdling screams to the way they froze you in place as they slowly advanced, the Redeads were scary as hell to me as a kid too. Although being school kids we soon turned their latching onto link and biting him animation into a "lol he's bonking link" joke which made them somewhat more a subject of raucous preteen laughter.
