I'm not sure if that's one of the general fantasy monsters Zelda used or an original one?

I'm pretty sure none of the monsters in Zelda's names came from any real world basis....though their designs clearly did

 

like how Moblins are just Orcs and Kokiri are just leprechauns

Moblin name isn't just in Zelda, but yes, it's like an orc.  Bokoblins are just goblins.  Stalfos are skeletons.  Don't know why bats are called Keese!  Some monsters are fully original though.

Eh?  I don't remember any "scares" with anime or Star Wars like how idiots thought D&D players were Devil worshippers.

nah, there weren't any , to my knowledge.

it was more like a solid realization at a very young age that "eh, I'm already *pretty* geeky...I don't need this on my head, too..."

Hmm, I've got too many geeky hobbies and fandoms to name.  Obviously, Star Wars had always been mainstream, but there were levels of geekery on it.  I've been a fan all my life and saw the first three movies so many times from such a young age that I have no memory of seeing them for the first time and not knowing what would happen!  It's like it's always been there!  Like the Force inside Rey. :P

I can't remember what I started liking first.  Wrestling in 97 or so.  My brother's hockey coach got me into it, when I fleetingly took interest in a sport, though probably played it badly.  Thank an unusual Texas winter freeze and SEGA Genesis NHL games for that inexplicable interest in hockey, which lead to wrestling.

I started with anime watching the Android Saga of DBZ, the first one I saw is when they arrived on the island and Yamcha gets attacked.  I'm not sure if they were new or reruns then.

But yeah, wrestling and wrestling fans are looked down upon with much disdain by the general populace, it's seen as lowbrow fare, the fans fools for watching a "fake sport."  But all movies and TV shows are fake!  It's its own genre - athletic theatre, damn it!

Anime, do I have to explain?  Though more mainstream and accepted now, it's still seen as nerdy, weird stuff.  A lot of people would rather get caught watching porn than anime!  

So yeah, I figured I wasn't hated enough, so I decided to be a wrestling fan and an anime fan! :D

Sorry, tired, and got on a tangent for some reason. :P
