for the TLDR people, I was linked to some odd zelda: Majoras Mask vids with some freaky crap going on in them, I didn't watch them all the way through because I wanted to research the story behind it further.
And now that I researched further, I can't bring myself to even watch the clips.
Some guy got a beat up N64 cartridge with no label other than white tape with someones handwriting saying "Majoras Mask" from some odd old man at a garage sale.
the guy gets the game, takes it home, and finds some of the freekiest crap going on in the game i've ever seen, i've never even seen hacked stuff like this before.
he freaks out and deletes the old save file, named BEN
but the save file comes back.
the little he finds out during the creepy crap going on in the game is that it belonged to someone named "BEN" what follows is characters killing him in odd ways, music playing eerily backwards and a freaky statue of link following him wherever he goes.
the happy mask salesman laughing through out, killing him in flames.
The guy goes back to where the old man lived, finds out he moved away, asks a neighbor about "BEN". Neighbor tells him a horrible accident happened to the boy but won't say anything more about it.
the guy goes back and plays more, more weird crap, he ends up swimming to the bottom of this lake where the statue is and it makes him drown.
and now a file appears on his list "DROWNED" so it now says BEN DROWNED
want to read his entire story on it with the videos?

now bear in mind I'm well aware this is all made up, he hacked the game to do all this, made up the story.
but he did such a good freaking job at it that I even start to doubt it, maybe this really is real..
this guy should seriously write books, amazing delivery, i'm totally freaked out and refuse to watch these clips until I watch it with someone in the same room with me.
You must be hiding with all the lights on lol
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, I should have watched the clips with someone else. I don't think I'll be going to sleep now.....
ReplyDeleteNice to see that I'm not the only crazy person playing games at 2am in the morning. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I watched the clips, that shit was pretty creepy... Kinda like Nintendo 666

ReplyDeleteWell, I'll be up anyway, so I'll take a look.
ReplyDeleteCreepy shit :( Isn't it ironic that I changed my avatar to HorrorKid from Majoras Mask just before you posted this? :(
ReplyDeleteWoah woah woah. Creepypasta... with video proof?!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! GOD YES!
So... Yeah. The read plus the videos are well done. I could see why watching that at 1:30 might warp you a bit. o_O
ReplyDeletereminds me of the ring but on a video game, didn't scare me though, but it's the middle of the day at the moment so...
ReplyDeleteYeah I am the same way when it comes to things like that. Even those stupid chain messages freak me out sometimes, even though I know it's fake O.o
ReplyDeleteoh yeah I checked out only one video and it is not that creepy until you get to 4 minutes in the day 4 video O.o()
ReplyDeleteSorry for posting 3 COMMENTS, but I saw the Ben video, and I must say it was creepier than the first video. However the written part described it to be freakier than the videos, but that might be because I watched this at 8:30 in the morning O.o()
ReplyDeleteI'll watch it with you, Austin! My arms will give you comfort~ <3
ReplyDeleteButyeah. If I actually had played Majora's Mask, I'd prolly be more creeped out seeing the stuff that shouldn't happen. The reverse music, random screams and laughing, that DAMN Happy Mask Salesman...those were unsettling enough. Especially a silent scene with your character dead and nothing else happening...that's like coming out from one of my nightmares.
And the writer is pretty good and building up the tension, I'll give him kudos for that, but I felt it was written a bit too elaborately to get me to believe it was spoken from experience.
The reverse Song of Healing music reminded me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1pWXrR8Ew
I am going to be quite honest: you've scared me into not even going to the site. I probably will due to curiosity, but consider me preliminarily frightened.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! o.o That is...quite freaky, though knowing it's hacked kinda removed the scare factor. That and I've been awake for an hour.
ReplyDeleteEeps. Of course, even after you said you didn't want to watch it without someone there with you, I watched it and I'm home alone for a while still. I'm glad it's still morning, and bright out..hah.
ReplyDeleteWell I just read the whole story and then watched the videos. I'm glad I took the time to read the entire story first, it made the videos freakier.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in paranormal stuff, but it's definitely amazing what goes on in those videos. Just watch the videos in the day time, they're freaky but not unbearable.
Maybe record a reaction video of yourself watching the two videos.
I can only say, if it was real then "OH SHIT", if not then it was a really good ghost story and some really well made Majora's Mask hacked version.
ReplyDeleteAnyway xD just creppy nothing that scared but if something like that happened to me I'll probably continue searching for answer but not alone of course =/ never face alone somthing like this.
*shiver* Aw man, Austin.... Now I've got all kinds of bad chills and goosebumps... Good thing it's daytime, wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise >_< What's worse is it's not the kind of scary where there's monsters and stuff popping out at you. The whole thing just makes you feel like something is... off.... Eugh, and those few moments with the backwards Song of Healing gave me a splitting headache...
ReplyDeleteTIME TO PLAY SOME KATAMARI AND FORGET THIS CREEPY SHIT
I dont think I'll be able to sleep tonight. O_O
ReplyDeleteFreaky shit going on there.
ReplyDeleteand i have a major's mask game.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Shit that would scare me. It's like the story I read when Pokemon Red and Green first came out in Japan where kids were committing suicide in weird ways because the game drove them crazy when they got to Lavender Town. -_-
ReplyDeleteI think I'll just lay off of the Zelda games now...-sweatdrop-
Yeah, I watched the first one, about where Link spawned those creepy statues, and then it cut really quick to whatever purple thing that was, and then the music got creepy, I turned it off. I couldn't deal with it. I quit.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I didn't know you went on /x/.
ReplyDeleteBut in the clips some of the stuff that happens seems impossible to code. Like the Zora drowning animation and being killed when using an Ocarina, since all gameplay stops when you use one. Very odd.. But then again I want to believe, sooo..
GOD AUSTIN! Look what you did! I came on here with the notion I'd Q & A you about making Mp3's of you and co for cell phone ringtones and you have me now fully awake and prepared to rough it out for the night with my trusty copy of Phoenix Wright: T&T.
ReplyDeleteSee you in the morning, all- Bleeeh! D:
The two video I watch, was freaking scary. But this video, it shit my pants. Definitely not a normal hack.
ReplyDeleteVideo DROWNED
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K48QdVhCBfQ&feature=sub
There's a new video up on youtube containing the "Drowned" file. This one is definately freakier than the others. Although now it's becoming a little too unbelievable because there's Ocarina of Time maps in the Majora's Mask games.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I just read a youtube comment saying that, "Majoras Mask was built upon Ocarina of Time. They could have left some coding, some sprites, some levels, etc. in Majoras Mask just as a reference to the coding in the area, and they added upon it and changed it in Majoras Mask. That's why it probably went to OoT's graphics."
I know shadowsnake_89 put the link, but I will too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K48QdVhCBfQ&feature=sub
You should check it out Austin, everyone for that matter.
goddamn....that scared me....now to read it again :D
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6D2XCJUJHY&feature=watch_response_rev thats where it starts. I've seen 'em all and they're not scary. i've seen scarier trust me. And for those who say i was scared and i'm just not showing it, WELL ur wrong. I guarantee i will sleep well tonight.
ReplyDeleteI watched them late at night now I tried to walk around and since I have played all of the Zelda games I am scared like hell. I didn't sleep because I watched at 1:00 AM so I seem to see the statues behind me. I never thought Zelda could make me scared but now I am never gunna stop seeing that statue.
ReplyDeleteI looked into it and it's definitely just a modded game with a creepy background to scare people. Story apparently originated from 4chan's /x/ board (paranormal) on the 8th, and those videos just so happen to have been uploaded the same day. Just people trying to make the fake as believable as possible. Still creepy, though.
ReplyDeleteoh...shizcakes...i seriously cant walk threw my dark laundryroom after seeing those videos... D:
ReplyDeletei regret ever coming on here now...but the fu**ing statue, just go away D: D: D: D: D: D;
I just noticed that this story has been updating since it got posted up with two more videos. Today, apparently they're going to release 'The Truth' text document with the guy's notes on the game. Really intrigued on reading it- its like the best horror story I've read in a long time.
ReplyDeletewell, i guess i'll never play Majora's Mask again...
ReplyDeleteThe person who did this has updated the story well. There is another video or 2 and the story takes another lead, I seem to be very interested in it. Austin I am very pleased with these videos thank you for showing them to us.
ReplyDeleteBen didn't drown. He drowned children.
ReplyDeleteDammit Austin you made me poop my pants. D:
ReplyDeleteOMFG! O_O' I'll able to sleep, after all I'll try to contact those guys. I think I'm able to solve it. Even so... Freakin' scary... I always wanted to live something such as this thing.
ReplyDeleteFREAKING CRAP! NOW I REMEMBER! I'VE ALREADY DREAMED ABOUT THIS SHIT IN THE VIDEO! I SWEAR FOR GOD'S SAKE O_O' Damn! Are they after me too? O_O Is it the same ghosts?
