haunted majora's mask ☹

The legend of the haunted Majora's Mask game was born on the popular web community 4Chan. A user posted a story about how he obtained a blank N64 cartridge with "Majora's Mask" written across it in black magic marker. He posted photos and videos along with the story that showed us a twisted and sinister version of one of the most beloved games of all time.

Upon starting the game the user noticed that there was already a game saved on the cartridge simply titled "Ben." He ignored the save file and started a new game and noticed that all the NPCs (non-playable characters) would refer to him as Ben. He deleted the "Ben" file and tried to start a new game.

The game became more erratic. The music would play backwards and his character began to be followed by a statue of the game's main character with a creepy smile on its face. Eventually, the "Ben" file returned to the game. Along with it was another new file simply titled "drowned." Every time he played after the two files appeared his character would simply die and creepy messages would sprawl across the screen:

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
