I actually helped my brother to complete water temple when we were kids, even if I had barely played video games before, I helped him complete it.

I suppose according to the common view I am "guilty" of the last one.

LOL the first two are correct, and hell yeah that eel scared me I actually didn't complete that level until a few years ago when my cousin downloaded Super Mario 64 on his Wii.
