He flashed a crooked smiled at me and asked what I was looking for, and immediately I noticed that he must be blind in one of his eyes; his right eye had that "glazed over" look about it. I forced myself to look to his left eye instead, trying not to offend, and asked him if he had any old videogames.

I was already wondering how I could politely excuse myself from the situation when he would tell me he had no idea what a videogame was, but to my surprise he said he had a few ones in an old box. He assured me he'd be back in a "jiffy" and turned to head back into the garage. As I watched him hobble away, I couldn't help but notice what he was selling on his table. Littered across his table were rather... peculiar paintings; various artworks that looked like ink blots that a psychiatrist might show you. Curious, I looked through them - it was obvious why no one was visiting this guy's garage sale, these weren't exactly aesthetically pleasing. As I came to the last one, for some reason it looked almost like Majora's Mask - the same heart-shaped body with little spikes protruding outward. Initially I just thought that since I was secretly hoping to find that game at these garage sales, some Freudian bullshit was projecting itself into the ink blots, but given the events that happened afterward I'm not so sure now. I should have asked the man about it. I wish I would have asked the man about it.

After staring at the Majora-shaped blot, I looked up and the old man was suddenly there again, arms-length in front of me, smiling at me. I'll admit I jumped out of reflex and I laughed nervously as he handed me a Nintendo 64 cartridge. It was the standard grey color, except that someone had written Majora on it in black permanent marker. I got butterflies in my stomach as I realized what a coincidence this was and asked him how much he wanted for it.

>>5585455

The old man smiled at me and told me that I could have it for free, that it used to belong to a kid who was about my age that didn't live here anymore. There was something weird about how the man phrased that, but I didn't really pay any attention to then, I was too caught up in not only finding this game but getting it for free.

I reminded myself to be a bit skeptical since this looked like a pretty shady cartridge and there's no guarantee it would work, but then the optimist inside me interjected that maybe it was some kind of beta version or pirated version of the game and that was all I needed to be back on cloud nine. I thanked the man and the man smiled at me and wished me well, saying "Goodbye then!" - at least that's what it sounded like to me. All the way in the car-ride home, I had a nagging doubt that the man had said something else. My fears were confirmed when I booted up the game (to my surprise it worked just fine) and there was one save file named simply "BEN". "Goodbye Ben", he was saying "Goodbye Ben". I felt bad for the man, obviously a grandparent and obviously going senile, and I - for some reason or another - reminded him of his grandson "Ben".
Out of curiosity I looked at the save file. Eyeballing it, I could tell that he was pretty far in the game - he had almost all of the masks and 3/4 remains of the bosses. I noticed that he had used an owl statue to save his game, he was on Day 3 and by the Stone Tower Temple with hardly an hour left before the moon would crash. I remember thinking that it was a shame that he had come so close to beating the game but he never finished it. I made a new file named "Link" out of tradition and started the game, ready to relive my childhood.

>>5585473

For such a shady looking game cartridge, I was impressed at how smoothly it ran - literally just like a retail copy of the game save for a few minor hiccups here and there (like textures being where they shouldn't be, random flashes of cutscenes at odd intervals, but nothing too bad). However the only thing that was a little unnerving was that at times the NPCs would call me "Link" and at other times they would call me "BEN". I figured it was just a bug - a fluke in the programming causing our files to get mixed up or something. It did kind of creep me out though after a while, and it was around after I had beaten the Woodfall Temple that I regrettably went into the save files and deleted "BEN" (I had intended to preserve the file just out of respect of the game's original owner, it's not like I needed two files anyway), hoping that that would solve the problem. It did and it didn't, now NPCs wouldn't call me anything, where my name should be in the dialogue there was just a blank space (my save file name was still called "Link", though). Frustrated, and with homework to do, I put the game down for a day.

I started playing the game again last night, getting the Lens of Truth and working my way towards completing the Snowhead Temple. Now, some of you more hardcore Majora's Mask players know about the "4th Day" glitch - for those who don't you can google it but the jist of it is that right as the clock is about to hit 00:00:00 on the final day, you talk to the astronomer and look through the telescope. If you time it right the countdown disappears and you essentially have another day to finish whatever you were doing. Deciding to do the glitch to try and finish the Snowhead Temple, I happened to get it right on the first try and the time counter at the bottom disappeared.

inb4 "Ben" appears in the game wearing a mask.

good stuff keep going

>>5585491


However, when I pressed B to exit the telescope, instead of being greeted by the astronomer I found myself in the Majora boss fight room at the end of the game (the trippy boxed in arena) staring at Skull Kid hovering above me. There was no sound, just him floating in the air above me, and the background music which was regular for the area (but still creepy). Immediately my palms began to sweat - this was definitely not normal. Skull Kid NEVER appeared here. I tried moving around the area, and no matter where I went, Skull Kid would always be facing me, looking at me, not saying anything. Nothing would happen though, and this kept up for around sixty seconds. I thought the game had bugged or something - but I was beginning to doubt that very much.

I was about to reach for the reset button when text appeared on my screen: "You're not sure why, but you apparently had a reservation..." I instantly recognized that text - you get that message when you get the Room Key from Anju at the Stock Pot Inn, but why was it playing here? I refused to entertain the notion that it was almost as if the game was trying to communicate with me. I started navigate the room again, testing to see if that was some sort of trigger that enabled me to interact with something here, then I realized how stupid I was - to even think that someone could reprogram the game like this was absurd. Sure enough, fifteen seconds later another message appeared on the screen, and again like the first one it was already a pre-existing phrase "Go to the lair of the temple's boss? Yes/No". I paused for a second, contemplating what I should press and how the game would react, when I realized that I couldn't select no. Taking a deep breath, I pressed Yes and the screen faded to white, with the words "Dawn of a New Day" with the subtext "||||||||" beneath it. Where I was ported to filled me with the most intense sense of dread and impending fear I had ever experienced

>>5585473

How could he have all the masks if you need all of the remains to get the Fierce Deity's Mask?

>>5585473

Nvm, I misread. Almost all of the masks.

>>5585508

The only way I can describe the way I felt here is having this feeling of inexplicable depression on a profound scale. I am normally not a depressed person, but the way I felt here was a feeling that I didn't even knew existed - it was such a twisted, powerful presence that seemed to wash over me.

I appeared in some kind of weird twilight-zone version of Clock Town. I walked out of the Clock Tower (as you normally do when you start from Day 1) only to find that all of the inhabitants were gone. Usually with the 4th Day glitch you can still find the guards and the dog that runs around outside the tower - this time they were all gone. What replaced them was the ominous feeling that there was something out there, in the same area as me and that it was watching me. I had four hearts to my name and the Hero's Bow, but at this point I wasn't even considered for my avatar, I felt that I personally was in some kind of danger. Perhaps the most chilling thing was the music - it was the Song of Healing, ripped straight from the game itself, but played in reverse. The music would get louder, building up so as if you should expect something to pop out at you, but nothing ever did, and the constant loop began to wear on my mental state.

Every now and then I would hear the faint laugh of the Happy Mask Salesman in the background, just quiet enough so that I wasn't sure if I just hearing things but just loud enough to keep me determined to find him. I looked in all four zones of Clock Town, only to find nothing.... No one. Textures were missing, West Clock Town had me walking on air, the entire area felt... broken. Hopelessly broken. As the reverse Song of Healing repeated for what must have been the 50th time, I just remember standing in the middle of South Clock Town realizing that I had never felt so alone in a videogame before.

>>5585527
>never felt so alone in a videogame before
You mean you never played Shadow of the Colossus? That game never had any people to interact with at all.

>>5585527

As I walked through the ghost town, I don't know whether it was the combination of the out of place textures and the atmosphere and the haunting melody of the once peaceful and soothing song being butchered and distorted, but I was literally on the verge of tears and I had no idea why. I hardly ever cry, something had gripped me here and this powerful sense of depression that was both foreign and crippling.

I tried leaving Clock Town, but every time I attempted to zone out, the screen would fade to black and I would just zone in to another part of Clock Town. I tried playing my Ocarina, I wanted to escape, and I did NOT want to be here, but every time I played the Song of Time or Song of Soaring it would only say "Your notes echo far, but nothing happens". By this point, it was obvious the game didn't want me to leave, but I had no idea why it was keeping me here. I didn't want to go inside the buildings, I felt that I would be too vulnerable there to whatever I was terrified of. I don't know why, but I came up with the idea that maybe if I drowned myself at the Laundry Pool I could spawn somewhere else and leave this place.

As I zoned in and ran towards the pool, that's when it happened. Link grabbed his head, and the screen flashed for a brief moment of the Happy Mask Salesman smiling at me - not Link - me with Skull Kid's scream playing in the background and when the screen returned I was staring at the Link Statue from playing the song Elegy of Emptiness. I screamed as the thing just stared back at me with that haunting facial expression. I turned around and ran out and back into South Clock Town, and to my horror the fucking statue followed me in the only way I can compare this is like the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. Every so often, at random intervals, the animation would play of the statue appearing behind me. It was like the thing was chasing me, or - I don't even want to fucking say it - haunting me.

>>5585560

By this point, I was on the verge of hysterics, but not even once did the thought of turning off the console occur to me, I don't know why, I was so wrapped up in it - the terror felt all so real. I tried to shake the statue, but it would literally appear right behind me every single time. Link started to begin to make weird animations I had never even seen him do before, he would flail his arms around or spasm randomly and the screen would cut to the Happy Mask Salesman smiling again for a brief moment before I was face to face with that fucking statue again. I ended up running into the Swordmasters Dojo and ran to the back, I don't know why, but in my panic I just wanted some kind of assurance that I'm not alone here. To my dismay I found no one, but as I turned to leave the statue cornered me in the cubby in the back. I tried attacking the statue with my sword but to no avail. Confused, and backed into a corner, I just stared at the statue waiting for it to kill me. Suddenly, the screen flashed again to the Happy Mask Salesman and Link turned to face my screen, standing upright mirroring the statue, looking at me along with his copy. Literally staring at me. Whatever was left of the 4th wall was completely shattered while I ran out of the dojo terrified. Suddenly the game warped me to an underground tunnel and the reverse Song of Healing queued up again as I was given a brief moment of rest before the statue started appearing behind me again... this time aggressively - I could only take a few steps before it would summon behind me again. I hurrily made my way out of the tunnel and appeared in Southern Clock Town. As I ran aimlessly - in a sheer panic - suddenly a redead screamed and the screen faded to black as "Dawn of a New Day" and "|||||||||" appeared again.

>>5585583

The screen faded in and I was standing ontop of Clock Tower with Skull Kid hovering over me again, silent. I looked up and the moon was back, looming just meters above my head, but the Skull Kid just stared at me hauntingly with that fucking mask. A new song was playing - the Stone Tower Temple theme played in reverse. In some sort of desperate attempt, I equipped my bow and fired off a shot at the Skull Kid - and it actually hit him and he played an animation of him reeling back. I fired again and on the third arrow, a text box appeared saying "That won't do you any good. Hee, hee." and I was picked up off the ground, levitated upwards on my back, and then Link screamed as he burst into flames, instantly killing him.


I jumped when this happened - I had never seen this move used by ANYONE in the game and Skull Kid himself didn't HAVE any moves. As the death screen played, my lifeless body still burning, the Skull Kid laughed and the screen faded to black, only to have me reappear in the same place. I decided to charge him, but the same thing happened, Link's body was lifted off the ground by some unknown force and he immediately burst into flames again killing him. This time during the death screen the faint sounds of the reverse Song of Healing could be heard. On my third (and final try), I noticed that there was no music playing this time, that all there was was eerie silence. I remembered that in the original encounter with the Skull Kid you were supposed to use the Ocarina to either travel back in time or summon the giants. I attempted to play the Song of Time but before I could hit the last note Links body once again horrifically exploded into flames and he died.

>>5585634

As the death screen neared its end, it began to chug, as if the cartridge was trying to process a lot of something.... when the screen came to, it was the same scene as the first three times, except this time Link was lying on the ground dead in a position I had never seen in the game before, his head tilted towards the camera, with the Skull Kid floating above him. I couldn't move, I couldn't press any buttons, all I could do is just stare at Link's dead body. After around thirty seconds of this, the game simply fades out with the message "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" before kicking you out to the title screen.


Upon getting back to the title screen and starting again, I noticed my save file was no longer there. Instead of "Link", it was replaced with "YOUR TURN". "YOUR TURN" had 3 hearts, 0 masks, and no items. I selected "YOUR TURN" and immediately when I did I was returned to the Clock Tower Rooftop scene of my Link dead and the Skull Kid hovering over, with the Skull Kid's laughing looping again and again. I quickly hit the reset button and when the game booted up again there was one more save file added, below "YOUR TURN", entitled "BEN". "BEN"'s save file is right back where it was before I deleted it, at the Stone Tower Temple with the moon almost crashing.

I turned the game off at that point, I'm not supersticious but this is WAY too fucked up even for me. I haven't played it at all today, hell, I didn't even get any sleep last night, I kept hearing the reverse Song of Healing music in my head and just remembering the sense of dread I felt exploring Clock Town. I drove back to the old man's house today to ask him some questions with a buddy of mine (no way I was going there alone), only to find that there's a For Sale sign in the front yard and when I rang the door no one was home.

>>5585650

So now I'm back here writing down the rest of my thoughts and recording what happened, sorry if some of this has grammatical errors and whatnot, I'm running on no sleep here. I'm terrified of this game, even moreso now that I relived it a second time writing this all down, but I feel like there's still more to it than meets the eye, and that there's something calling to me to investigate this further. I think "BEN" is something in this equation, but I don't know what, and if I could get ahold of the old man then I would be able to find some answers. I need another day or so to recuperate before tackling this game again, its already taken a toll on my sanity I feel like, but next time I do this I'm going to be recording my footage all the way through. The idea to record only came to me towards the end, so you see the last few minutes of what I saw (including Skull Kid and the Elegy statue), but it's on youtube here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6D2XCJUJHY

>>5585665

I'm going to stay in this thread for a little while longer before I fall asleep to answer any questions you guys might have or hopefully listen to your ideas or theories to help me shed some light into this or maybe things I should try to do, I think I'm going to play BEN's file tomorrow to see what happens, maybe I was supposed to do that all along. I don't believe in paranormal shit, but this is a little fucked up, but maybe this BEN guy is just a really good hacker/programmer, I don't want to think about the alternatives if he isn't.

That's the end of the copy/paste, I'm hoping that maybe this is some kind of running gag the developers had and that other people have gotten "gag" or "hacked" copies of the game like this. This just really scares me.

Majora's Mask OC?

Sign me the fuck up. Reading now.

>>5585684
Can I post this entire story onto my website? I'll credit you for it, and even put the video up with it.

btw, my site's here: http://inuscreepystuff.blogspot.com

Oh my god.... that.... that is creepy as fuck

And you posted a video too... Holy fuck I thought you were making that "bursts into treats" shit up

>>5585697

Yes, you can do whatever you want with this, I just want to get my story out there. I just feel really, really fucking scared for my life right now, and it makes me feel better that if something does come after me that at least I'll have spread the word about it.

when i heard the scream, i shat brox

i'll buy this game from you for $50, i love the video and back story

Shit son.

Creepy as fuck.

I hope to see from you tomorrow, and I feel for you. I got shivers watching the video.

Are you planning on posting a video ofyour BEN file experience?

In the video, it looked like the statue was following you.

Creepy as shit, dude!

fuck thats kind of a creepy story haha your a good writer bro good thing thats all made up

>youtube video

welp looks like im not going to bed tonight

>>5585494

OK man I take back that stupid comment. This is genuinely disturbing.

>>5585665

Oh shit, son.

Watched the YouTube video. Creepy shit.

at least videotape your t.v. and console to prove it's not some fucked up emulator or something. Other than that, creepy as fuck.

>>5585433

>something sort of drew me there.

Wow, I totally see how listening to that inverted song of healing loop would eventually start fucking with your head. that's fucking scary shit man

>>5585855

i've seen edited copies of games on emulators before, all they do is change textures and add a ton of random enemies and other stupid shit, just look at any one of them on youtube. You would have to have at least a few years of experience under your belt to do what I saw in that video, that shit goes far beyond simple hex editing. Creepy fucking stuff.

I'm hesitant to believe you, op, mostly because I'm skeptical of how the footage got from your game to youtube. If someone put enough time into it, they could just do this with an emulator.

If not, beat the game on Ben's profile to let the ghost rest.

Holy... did shit actually just get real? Ok... play Ben dude. I actually believe you, and I don't care if this is real or a hoax, but film yourself playing Ben.

this is either true, and the scariest thing i have heard, or the best creepy pasta i have seen on any chan.

Holy Shit. OC.........with video...that looks completely legitimate?!

I knew there was a reason I keep coming back to you, /x/.

>>5585793
Alright, it's on my blog..

By the way, is there any way you could dump the ROM? I'd like to try this. It's relevant to my interests.

Also, thanks for being the only person on 4chan with a creepy story and the willingness to deliver proof.

Oh FUCK THIS. This the genuinely scary fucking shit and its of MAJORAS MASK of all things and I have to be at work in 30 minutes. Anyone care if we start the archiving process now just to get it out of the way? I don't want to miss these responses or anyone else offering ideas to the OP.

FFFUUUCK

>>5585994

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Okay, that was like, the best done game modification i've ever seen.

Props to you if you made that, man

The video is an emulator... well, atleast he's a good writer

>>5586002

awesome copypasta

>watch video
>emulator
>not capture card recording or camera recording of television
You're a great writer OP. Could have made the video seen a bit less obvious that it was an emulator. Put some after effects on the video to make it look like a capture card recording or something.

Bravo on the writing anyways.

This is so awesome.

OP, I... I'm impressed.
13/10

Also, when I finished watching the video my laptop randomly decided to go to sleep. Weird.

Oh yeah, and play Ben for god's sake.

NOT COOL MAN
BURN THE CARTRIDGE

First of all I've seen some creepy shit happen on the N64 before. Once when my uncle whom I now have crazy premonitions about came over to babysit me and my sister. We were playing Diddy Kong Racing, shit was fine but the weird part was my game glitched to have all of the maps unlocked, which at the time I had no idea about all of the space bullshit. So as you can imagine I was freaking out when all these crazy new maps came out of no where. After playing them all, I decided to restart the game just to see if they were still there, and the next time it turned off all of them were gone. I eventually got to the space levels, but it was creepy as fuck at the time I had no idea about them, and probably wouldn't have ever looked into it if if wasn't for that happening.

Anyway, it is a shame you didn't go looking down in that tunnel more, seems like there might have potentially been more there, something to help you in this predicament? I'd suggest going back to it but you are kind of fucked. Try deleting the game files and see what happens, get really good at playing the song of time just in case you ever have to do it in a split second, try the giants song as well.

If you do try to play Ben's file you damn well better record it, perhaps you should even get a live stream going if you are that afraid, it may help. No matter what happens you better man the fuck up and get rid of that dread you are feeling, remember what link stands for and don't take any bullshit for he is courageous and strong, he fights for the light.

>Read whole thing
>Watch obvious rom video
>OP says he'll be here for awhile

Where'd 'ya go, OP? We want proof that this is real and not just a haxored rom. Great stuff, though. Genuinely scared me shitless, especially after that video.

Fuck OP the video completed all the steps necessary to give me a heart att HNNNNNGGGGHHHHHH

1:08 onwards on the video.

I dunno why but I'm crying here.

RIP OP
GOODNIGHT SWEET PRICNE

Anyone saying it looks too crisp to be a capture card, take a look at this video, its a capture card and the quality is near to that of the OP's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJGcZp7yPEs

And there's no reason why the OP can't just hook up the N64 through his laptop for better quality. It's still the same cartridge and its still going through the system, but it'll have better quality.

>>5586088
YES, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY BEN'S FILE JADUSABLE, PLEASE STREAM IT.

PLEASE.

>>5586035
just re-record it off youtube with a camera, upload it back up, and repost tomorrow

>get really good at playing the song of time just in case you ever have to do it in a split second, try the giants song as well.

This OP. Song of Time may not have worked (remember, you tried it before you got to Skull Kid), but what about fighting fire... with fire? Well excusing the hilarious pun because link bursts into flames, how about trying to summon the giants?

nice premise, but it would be helped a ton if you made it more.."dry" you leap to these extreme feelings , fear / dread, etc way too fast. save that for the end, it just gets my eyes rolling otherwise.

FUCK IT, i don't care if this is a troll or real, IM ARCHIVING IT. THis is gold.

Help me out people. OP deserves this no matter what.

Thanks for your request.
It has been added to our database and the thread will be archived as soon as enough request for that thread have been made.
This thread has been requested 3 times now.

Best OC I've seen in a long time. Hell, best thread on /x/ I've seen in forever. This is what we need more of. Less fighting about trips and more OC.

has the thread been archived or at least saved somewhere?

>>5586117
also look at his other videos, you can hear music that sounds like it's being played in real life in the vampire one, and it's quality is just as good so it seems like it may be legit.

What a borefest. I don't see what people get out of shit like this... I understand wanting to believe in things you can't explain, but this is just ridiculous. Obvious creepypasta is obvious.

FOR FUCKS SAKE, YOU CHOWDERHEADS.
IT'S
NOT
REAL
FACE IT, HE MODDED THE GAME ON HIS PC TO DO THIS.

>Implying anything on /x/ is real

Shut the fuck up and enjoy the OC.

>>5586171
u mad?

Christ... thought this was gonna be lame... took the time to read it... fuckin awesome. 9/10, OP.

Glad to be of service guys

>>5586170
>>5586171
You guys hate creepypasta?
Why are you on /x/?

>>5585665

When he leaves the clock tower the music that is playing is from the final world of Braid

>>5586191
I annoyed. Okay now though. Thanks for asking, kind anon.

Oh and also.

I have a theory here OP.

I've read through your story a few times and I'm drawing some parallels here, fellow /x/philes feel free to help me out.

You keep saying Ben's file is on Stone Tower Temple, which judging by his progression, this means that he does have Elegy of Emptiness song if he has made it that far. You say there is a lot of overlapping in both of your games, what with the NPCs referring to you sometimes as Link and sometimes as BEN, have you ruled out the possibility the statue that keeps following you is some sort of incarnation of BEN? He is at the point in the game where he has that ability and it seems like a really specific time and place to do an Owl Save, maybe he is trying to tell you something?

>>5585665

He reacted very oddly when you busted out the ocarina.

There is something you need to play.

I don't know what, but there's something that you need to play for skull kid

>>5585433
Thank you. I won't be falling asleep anytime soon.

>>5586224
I agree. I think Ben is the statue.
I think Ben wants OP to complete the game for him. I really do. OP got warped to his "terrible fate" only after he tried to attack the statue.

>>5586211

/v/'s been linked here

>>5586224

I'm too much of a pussy to watch the video...

>>5586171

Two things:

1. There are capture cards that up the resolution and quality of the game so that they look like what the OP's video looks like, who's to say he doesn't have one?

2. This is almost impossible to mod. That move where he floats up and explodes into fire? If you're talking Hex editing here then show me where the variable or actor is you can replace the code with to do that move, because I'm fairly certainly nothing even remotely in the game exists like that.

I'm skeptical of OP too, granted, I'm happy for the OC, but I will wait until I see this stream tomorrow before I decide anything, all of you guys bandwagoning "OMG ITS AN EMULATOR" should probably know your shit first.

I want to believeeeeeeee

op, prove it.

Majora's Mask: 5 of the 'zones' represent the 5 stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

Pic very related.

>>5586250
Think of the word usage, though. "Fate" implies that it was inevitable... that it would happen regardless of his actions. I think Ben is pissed about something else entirely, and this is his only way to get back at the world.

>>5586245
Lol, I would have played the Oath to Order

>>5586245

Yes, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. He killed you right before you played the final note to the song of time, I find it odd he did that only at the end of you playing the Ocarina and not immediately when you started playing it.

Maybe there is a different song you need to pla-

>>5586224

Elegy of Emptiness motherfucker. Play Elegy of motherfucking EMPTINESS RIGHT NOW

This is a very good creepypasta, nice idea, but....
you dumbfucks, there is no need to hex edit anything to make this video. These are all gameshark codes done in an emulator, with some keyboard shortcuts to enable them.
a gameshark code to enable walking around in unloaded areas
a gameshark code to spawn the statue
a gameshark code to enable the "link on fire" bit and the "link getting shocked" bit and to set link's health to zero.

But still-great job.

>>5586300
That's true, I never thought about what "fate" implied. Either way, that oddly specific save has got to be some sort of clue.

>>5586300

>mfw Ben isn't pissed at the OP at all and he's trying to tell him what song to play to beat Skull Kid

>>5586316
What about link floating upwards and making all of the NPC's disappear?

Okay OP, we know you used a ROM, but if that's the case would you mind uploading it?

With the combined force of /x/ we could expand this thing into the brick-shittiest video game in existance. It's already close enough to it.

>>5586088
This.
I'm back on a the closest thing to a normal sleep schedule that I've been on in weeks and I will totally fuck that if you live stream while you play Ben's file.

The textures and graphical fidelity are far too sharp to be N64 and their is no analog fuzz.

You can also see the frame clipping from where he edited the videos together, I commend him for taking the effort though but this is fake.

OP you stille there?

>>5586327
"Fate" and "Your Turn": these seem to be the relevant parts in his message. Must ponder...

>>5586331

Making all NPCs disappear is a gameshark code, but making Link float like that, scream, and then burst into treats and die is not. Neither is making the reverse Song of Healing or Stone Tower Temple song play in lieu of boss music/clock town music

I doubt it's gameshark coding.

>>5586277
Don't, I'm not sleeping.

>>5586331
press L to levitate cheat. If link is in any kind of pose, levitate will make him rise during that pose.

>>5586339
IT'S NOT A FUCKING ROM
IT'S GAMESHARK CODES AND CLEVER EDITING

>>5586329

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT MY MIND IS SO FULL OF FUCK RIGHT NOW

OP, get a camera, plug your PC into a TV using the most outdated connection means possible, and film from that.

Will make it 100% more believable.

>>5586280

1. Turn into Deku scrub
2. Go to Dodongos in front of snowy entrance
3. Let them torch you
4. Burst into flames and fall down.

1. Start temple
2. Beat boss
3. Enter blue ring
4. Float upwards on your back

>>5586362

I'm calling bullshit. Press L to levitate shoots him straight up and he won't hover in mid air. Not only that but the animation for levitating is the same one as Link falling, this one is actually a played out animation of him getting swept off his feet, looking to his right for a moment before looking forward (and then subsequently bursting into treats)

If you'd like, please point out what looks like emulator effects.

>>5586399

>mfw Link is not always on fire nor is he always electrocuted

regardless, we can debate the legitamacy of the video in some other thread or when the OP posts again, i'm more interested to see what the fuck this shit means or if Ben's trying to help us or not

>>5586384
Wrong. You can levitate during any animation. If you roll and jump off of a ledge and press L, it will continue to hold that pose. If link gets knocked on his ass, pressing L during assknocking will cause link to hold that pose in midair.

flames, lol

Hello >>5586385 and >>5586399,

Have a nice day.

10/10. Excellent OC.

Was an awesome read, great video. Best OC I've seen in a loooooong time and I commend you OP.

Unfortunately, we all know this is fake unless some more proof can be given.

You two should get acquainted. This is the best OC we've had in a long time. Stop polluting this thread by debating the legitimacy of it and lets see if we can come up with theories to help the OP

>>5586189

>>5586412
>mfw when Ben isn't dead, or doesn't even exist

I liked this a lot...until I watched the video. Video's really badly put together, obviously fake. Story would've been stronger without it.

OP post pics of game cartridge

>my face when fags argue about its authenticity and don't just play along or admire the creepiness

>>5586416
Oh I'm not angry at people who think it's real, that's part of the fun. i'm angry at the people that pretend to know anything about rom hacking and are commending OP on his beautiful job "hex editing"
Also, there is a gameshark code that lets you enable other gameshark codes. Usually used as "Press L to..."

Thing is, even if it's fake -- it's entertaining. It's high-quality. It's like walking out of a good movie.

Bravo, Jadusable. Thank you for sharing your story.

>>5586280
the audio studders are obvious as fuck from an emulator
I know those quirks all too well from playing on an emulator and on the console so much

>>5586462
what does the audio sound like on a 64 that's lagging, anyway? usually I'm too busy blowing up shit to notice.

HEY GUYS, ORIGINAL CONTENT

lets ruin it by trying to prove it's fake at every fucking angle possible, rather than just enjoy it! Yeah!

There is no way we could be compared to /b/!

>reads thread
Shit, that's good writing son. Send something like that to Steven King and see what he says

>sees video
Well fuck. That was scary.

OP, we all know this is fake, but I don't give a shit, that was some of the best OC i have seen in ALL of 4chan in a long time. Kudos to you and great accomplishment. You have my admiration.

>>5586446
Hiya, >>5586189 here. I'm all for that.
Also, Elegy of Emptiness. Play it.

>>5586331
The world has ended, all of it is gone. The moon has likely crashed, resulting in the apocalyptic clock town we see now.

The words "Your Turn" keep coming up again and again in my mind. I'm beginning to think that this is some sort of elaborate chess game - for every action OP did, there is a reaction from the game. Think of it in terms of you almost being in checkmate, every move OP has made so far has put him in checkmate, but I think there is a way you can salvage the situation. I think the song you play with your Ocarina is key, because notice how when your previous actions "Attack with sword" "Attack with bow" Skull Kid killed you instantaneously. However, on the third time, the background music stopped and you drew your Ocarina. Skull kid only killed you when you finished playing a song, maybe it wasn't the right one?

Maybe BEN's file could provide you with more clues?

>>5586474
re watch it, notice all the little pops when it starts play music and that

the original game doesn't do that, its just from emulation errors

PLAY FUCKING OATH TO ORDER for Christ's sake!

>>5586498

This is stupid.

>>5586498

Maybe the OP is in limbo or something? That would explain why he is trapped in Clock Town

You know what's so sad about you faggots? You keep trying to assure yourself that you're smarter than everyone else which is why you have the need to try and prove that this is fake which is really just a dick move. I'd love for OP to be legit, but as likely as it is, it's probably not because the paranormal doesn't exist. Now hypothetically speaking if OP isn't legit, you've just gone and scared him off. This could've been /x/'s Blind Mute Loli Guy, and you've ruined it because you faggots are so insecure.

Hey, one question, anyone has the code of gameshark for decapite the cow's figurine in minute 0:28?

Captcha: evivided time

>>5586530
>No taste.

>>5586519

whoah. Maybe this.

>>5586530

Living life without joy found in fun is far stupider.

>>5586520


Or from a bugged game? Who's to say that the old man or even some guy didn't tamper with it? Remember how the OP said the cartridge looked really shady, there wasn't even a label on it. Why's everyone so quick to assume its fake or something? Maybe its not haunted by Ben's spirit, maybe some guy made his own version of the game with the BEN character and is trying to see if anyone can ever solve his game/riddle?

That'd be just as fucking likely and equally as badass

>>5586554
But this is still stupid, you agree?

>>5586542

>mfw I go back to the video and the cow figurine is actually decapitated

>god damn it this shit just got a whole lot creepier

>>5586566
No. It's clever, original, a spooky as hell.

I don't find this stupid.

I, for one, welcome our new leader.

But seriously, this is some good shit.
I want to habeeb it so badly....
OP, if this is real you need to fuck playing TOMORROW and play tonight and upload that shit to youtube.
If it IS fake, well hell. Upload the rom (or find a rom to upload) and link /x/ to it. I honestly like seeing shit like this done in vidya. What's so sad is that a lot of the creepypasta for vidya is so good, but no one ever acts on it and uses the idea for the greatest creepy mods in existence.

In other words, MOAR.

Why must you faggots ruin the splendor and mystery of it?

Either way, well done OP. You are a reasonable heterosexual.

And by the way, OP, this is some of the best stuff I've seen in a while. We need more of this kind of thing.

I have a feeling OP is playing us as Anon. but fuck it this shit is well creepy.

Rom usage = Glitchy graphics
Notice how OP didn't stop to acknowledge the fact that the head was cut off.

Wow, i just suddenly got extremely sleepy and I wasn't before I read this and watched the video. My eyes are heavy and blurry right now. I CANT FALL ASLEEP.

I'm not even joking, I took a shower not too long ago and came out refreshed and wide away. I came back upstairs to read this story and I am getting extremely sleepy by the second. I have to fight it.

There is no gameshark for that. I've googled and found nothing, but you guys shouldn't put too much stock into it. OP didn't even bring it up, nor did he point it out in the vid.

Wow, what the fuck. This is creepy as shit. I read the whole thing in the dark, then as I build up the courage to watch the video, I go to turn my light on.

My fucking lightbulb blows out.

WHAT THE FUCK

>>5586725
let's say the guy is generally frightened. what makes sure he notices the cow. also it took quite a while for anyone to notice the cow.

Where is OP?
He best be fucking playing the rest of that shit now

>>5586739
>implying the first cow seer wasn't just the OP

Guys I'm really having a hard time keeping my eyes open. I'm listening to some music right now and it's starting to warp in my head. Something is happening to me.

>>5586714

If anything the fact that he didn't means he isn't doing all of this shit on purpose and making a point to point out every detail that he did. I think its reasonable to assume that he legitimately didn't notice it because he was flipping his shit, much like how none of us did until 30 minutes later of dozens of people looking at the video. If he had named every little thing that was paranormal imo it wouldve been more suspicious, almost as if he was trying to convince us.

Also, its worth noting that by the Clock Tower (at like 2:02 in the video), there is usually a large pillar there that people are working on and there aren't any torches.

Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFGv2lLz3Vs at like 3:30 for proof.

Goddamnit, I have to be up early tomorrow. This thread will be archived, I assume, but is there anywhere else I can follow the developments in the story? Like little things people are noticing that are out of place? What about that one blog somebody posted about earlier?

"Do you remember my song, Ben?"

Imagine if Zelda was a girl

>mfw OP is lurking and laughing his ass off

Here's this thread screen caped and shopped together if anyone wants it.
Let me know if I fucked anything up or missed anything.
Or if it's too thin/too wide.

Speaking of which, is there a way to just omit certain posts in a thread temporarily,
much like hiding comments on YouTube?
It would make screen capping and photoshopping threads quite a bit easier.

>>5586794

WHATEVER YOU DO DONT LISTEN TO THE SONG OF HEALING BACKWARDS

I've been listening to it as I'm reading this thread and its scary the shit out of me

I've got a question; who would think of editing a cow head to try and make their story seem more convincing? Sounds like some of you people honestly believe the OP edited out a cow head, intentionally ignored it, and then came back here anonymously and posted about the missing cow head to try and fuck shit up. Seriously?

>>5586691
>>5586691
If you don't provide a picture of that cartridge, In five minutes then your're full of shit op

Song of Healing backwards on the Ocarina is Saria's Song, and Saria's song was great. The actual song of healing backwards does sound pretty creepy though.

>>5586796
I don't see it.....

Subbed him on youtube for further developments

Best OC I've read in a LOOOOONG time.

Thank you, OP.

Looking forward to further updates.

OP said he was going to sleep ages ago you bunch of aspies.

>>5586833
Well considering the HUGE amount of graphical glitches in the video, and the fact that the cow head MOVES when you roll into it, it really isn't that farfetched to think that the game would glitch it out.

Unless OP takes more measures to prove it's real, we can't honestly deduce either fact or fiction.

Just look at it as a good story guys. No more, no less.

>my face when the Song of Healing backwards is Saria's Song

>>5586862
You're no longer dealing with /x/. These are/v/ and /b/fags.

They never shut the fuck up and can't enjoy anything. All they do is turn everything to shit.

>My face when the dark tunnel is the entrance side to the astrologist's observatorium

>>5586865

Booted up my Zeldurah, cow is there in all of his full head glory, not glitching out or being paranormal.

maybe it is a glitch, maybe it isn't let's keep the theories coming. I shat brix at the Elegy to Emptiness theory and how Ben is trying to communicate to tell the OP what song to play.

>>5585433
Fuck you Op, I wanted to play MM again!
Now I can't sleep...

>>5586821
Did anybody notice the scenery in screenshot 10 is shaped like a face with one eye? Examine it closely and you'll see.

If you're a /v/ or /b/ fag I might need to point it out for you. It's funny because he mentioned the guy who gave it to him having only one eye. I haven't played majora's mask so if that's part of the game then I admit to being wrong, if it's actually a screenshot of his copy they it could relate to this.

>>5586906

honestly you ONLY use JPEG for photographs
PNG is for text, graphics, drawings, cartoon screen shots and such

Wait guys. I don't want to ruin it but...

Majora had only two save slots. Three in japan but they haven't had the owl statues.

http://zeldawiki.org/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask#Trivia

Just saying.

>>5586955
more like /v/ loves creepy pasta and /x/ has crappier off topic stuff than any other board

Well, I'm going to bed.

Hopefully tomorrow there will be some interesting developments instead of people posting the same thing over and over about how fake it is.

>>5586931

Well shit. That's fucking scary. Can anyone confirm/deny if the one eyed things are on there regularly?

>>5586976

Ruin what? Watch the video, there's only two save slots.

>>5586931
>>5586931

AND SO THE PLOT THICKENS

>Nobody explains how the BEN file magically reappeared when we saw it happen in real time.

Check the video for pauses and edits if you want but that file was not there before, OP did not create it in the video, it fucking appeared out of nowhere.

>>5586937
Hey you were right.
My mistake.

>>5586985
Yes it's supposed to be that way. I could take a screeny of it.... but I dunno. If you guys really want me to, I will.

FFFF.

this is one of my all time favorite games, props to OP for making me too scared to play it now.

and, even if it IS fake, who cares? It's very rare that /x/ gets creepypasta and proof along with it.. let's just have fun with it.

>>5586976
It has two in the video, idiot.

>>5586985

I think it's always like that.

>>5586995
I'll later but I do recall that he said three save slots. Well, I'm too lazy to check the text so nevermind.

did the screeny anyways

>>5587062
all you have to do is ctrl-f

I just wanted to say that the bobble-head part of the cow is a seperate entity, so all you have to do is replace it with a null spawn.

>>5587068

Pretty sure he got that off google, check the filename, otherwise i think he probably would've referenced it

>>5587085
Yeah, I was trying to explain that earlier. You put it in much better words, though.

Holy shit. Stream your play of Ben's File.
Also record it. Put it online. EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION.

(May be fake, but it's still the best OC I've seen in a long time. Definitely want to see/read more!)

>>5587085

Whats the code to get to the bobble head and just the bobble head?

Regardless, the fact that the op didnt even mention it and no one even noticed it makes me think its legit, otherwise like a previous poster said it wouldve been like "AND SEE THE COWS HEDD IS MISSIN IS THIS PARANORMAL GUISE" and would've come across as trying too hard

>Your face when ben kills OP in his sleep and we never get to know his story.

>>5587108
Lol seriously? I used fucking snipping tool.

you know, this would make a great vidya related movie

>>5587129

Also keep in mind that it could very well be that the old man or some one else tampered with the cartridge (remember how there is no label to it and it looked shoddy?) so they could be planning something malicious or just seeing if the OP can solve the BEN riddle.

>>5587129
Beats me.

Only time I've ever fucked around with entity spawn codes was in OoT after the whole Arwing debacle.

Was good times.

Basically, the guy has either a lot of patience and time on his hand, or he's good at editing.

>>5587154
the story might be true and the old man might just be an expert hacker? Maybe he worked for nintendo when MM was originally released.

>>5587068
yea those were always there. they're tits to me

I know it's fake, but it'd be cool if the OP or someone else would play altered games like this on Livestream. I remember someone doing an /x/ version of Super Mario World a while ago, and it was pretty entertaining.

Old man is a dark magician. curses Ben's conciousness into Majoras Mask. Ben is the statue. Only way to free Ben is to defeat the skull kid, who is the old mans persona as a jailkeeper.

"there was one save file named simply "BEN". "Goodbye Ben", he was saying "Goodbye Ben". I felt bad for the man, obviously a grandparent and obviously going senile, and I - for some reason or another - reminded him of his grandson "Ben".
Out of curiosity I looked at the save file. Eyeballing it, I could tell that he was pretty far in the game - he had almost all of the masks and 3/4 remains of the bosses. I noticed that he had used an owl statue to save his game, he was on Day 3 and by the Stone Tower Temple with hardly an hour left before the moon would crash. I remember thinking that it was a shame that he had come so close to beating the game but he never finished it. I made a new file named "Link" out of tradition"

uh........... nope. Never says anything about a 3rd save file. First it's ben, then ben and link, he deletes ben, so it's only link. Then after he gets killed by skull kid, it turns from LINK to YOUR TURN. And then when he resets it, it's YOUR TURN and BEN.

Also,
"I jumped when this happened - I had never seen this move used by ANYONE in the game and Skull Kid himself didn't HAVE any moves."
He wasn't saying he'd never seen the animation before, he was saying he'd never seen ANY enemy use it as an attack.

But one thing that's still tripping me out is how he's correct about the last death animation, while link is laying on the ground. I have NEVER seen that before either. Neither in cartridge nor in ROM form. Could someone also look that up, check to see if it's just a GS code or something?

Came here from /v/.

I'm loving this whole thing, very disturbing.

I think I'll be visiting this board more often.

>>5587165
This. OP could just be a legitimately terrified "victim" who happened to get a modded cartridge. This "Ben" character being the one who did all the hacking, and the old man (presumably the grandfather or father) being ignorant to the fact.

I've seen nothing to suggest anything paranormal thus far, certainly creepy, holy shit is it creepy, but certainly not paranormal.

Forgive me if I just shoved my foot in my mouth by the way, as I know nothing of modding these games.

>>5587154

I dont think I've ever seen an /x/ thread get so many replies before. Holy shit.

>>5587199
Enjoy your stay. You kind of picked a bad time to join though, as /b/'s kind of raiding us...
So just note that the alpaca's, Gary Oak, and tripfag war aren't normally a part of this board.

>inb4 if you dont solve the riddle in 72 hours you die

It's the saw of videogames, and he's about to claim his first victim

>>5587210
>mfw I'm playing MM right now, and no weird shit happens
SUCCESS

Is there any way we can get this thread archived faster? 4chanarchive is like three months behind on this shit and by the time we get this archived so we can compare notes the OP will probably already have been killed

>>5587229

Stick around, kid. Some good stuff past couple weeks (imho), and more to come, I believe...

>>5587224

>mfw he's partially blind and his right eye is glazed over

>>5587253
If you sign up for an account there (free) then you can view archived but unreviewed threads.

Also, I'd like to point out one last thing. I'm not an expert at modding or working with cartridges or roms or anything like that, but I've enough common sense to know that the text "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" under DAWN OF A NEW DAY and so on is the game's reaction for trying to draw from data that's not there.
So it seems to me like this game is doing something obviously not intended in its programming and trying to load from certain areas that contain nothing.
Perhaps it's trying to say DAY 5 or something, if it tries to load the associated files, then it'll come up with a blank and we get a big bunch of error lines jizzed on our faces.

Also, anyone else notice how the START screen's floating/rotating mask in the background isn't disappearing like it normally does when it gets that close?

>>5587246
Yeah... I was wrong. Link proceeded to dance around like a weirdo.

Probably the first piece of paranormal shit that has genuinely freaked me out a little in fucking years, and vidya related too. Bravo, OP.

God damn song of healing backwards is stuck in my head now.

epic bread.
toasting it.

best OC in years.
best creepypasta pretty much ever.
OP, you win all the internets i have gathered over the years.

jesus fuck me christ.

>>5587377
This.

Bamp for other theoryfags/ people who want to recreate this.

do i really have to say it?
i am impressed by the OC, but i cant believe no one has picked up on this yet....

kookaafa=jadusable

Fuck the haters, ARCHIVE THIS BITCH <333

This could have been awesome. But fags had to ruin it
By
Not.
Playing.
Along.

>>5585665

if pasta I enjoyed it

if genuine I'm coming back tomorrow if you'll post on /x/ again, just give me a time dude

Good job OP. I don't give a shit if it was real or fake, I just genuinely enjoyed it. Nice to see some well written OC every now and then, and the Morrowind one just didn't do it for me.

Hopefully this thread or a similar one is here in the morning, I'm going to bed but I'm interested in where OP might go with this.

>>5587421
>>5587421
>>5587421
Wait wait wait what? While I'm flattered, yeah, just because I have verbose observations doesn't mean I'm samefagging here. I'm the dude from the JVK morrowind thread the other day begging people to make these things into real mods. I love shit like this, and frankly, I'm surprised someone hasn't told me to stfu about the modding thing already. Also i don't know if you recall, but I had some IRL OC a while back about a ghost freaking me the fuck out, something to do with my father's younger exploits with ouija boards and old ass mex'kin witches. I was anon back then, and i sure as hell ain't this dude.
Else I would have uploaded this shit or linked it and been like FUCK YEAR ENJOY!!!

Mattter of fact, I subscribed to this guy's youtube about a...... half hour ago now?

>>5587421

Idk if this still works but if it doesnt I doubt it. Their styles of writing are too different.

>>5587526
no one opens a gif on /x/


>bilpes Logging

>>5585433

can you take a video camera and record this stuff? it would be pretty badass to see that this isn't just some modded version of the game. As in, you show the cartridge, the game, etc..

My respects for OP.

This is One EPIC THREAD!

Toastin' in epic bread.

Horry sheet.

At this point I don't care if it's real or not. OP's story is the most original thing I've read in a while.

I'm gonna start looking up this stuff on youtube and the googles now, I want to see if someone has done this before or something similar. It's things like this that keep me playin vidya.

Actually, I think things like this are probably the reasons i orgasmed every time I could explore a zelda beta world.

>>5587526
It didn't work, it said "abnormal reply"

this is the best videogame creepypasta so far

also
>funpolice.jpg

>>5587685
ach, why are you even bothering?? Of course I'm not him!

>>5587789
I was trying to prove your innocence.
That way nobody could accuse you of being him.

>>5587852
Oh. Thanks then! Sorry for the derp moment.

One more interesting development. We noticed the lack of guards and dogs and cow heads and...... ANYTHING in clock town, but check this out;
The gong in the swordsman's dojo is missing. Or the target thing. Whatever it is.

>>5587866
Ahh, this is all so interesting.
Best thread in a long ass time.
Let's just make sure this thread stay's alive until OP comes back.
If he ever comes back.

>staying here until OP posts video of playing Ben file

bumpan for pure love of this thread, and nerdy fanboyism.

STAYIN ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE

LETS KEEP PUTTING ARGUMENTS FORWARD AS TO WHY THIS IS FAKE

I MEAN, WE WOULDNT WANT THIS BOARD TO GET SCARY OR ANYTHING.

>>5587968
Doesn't make a difference to me, at least it'll stay alive until OP get's back.

To pass the time, discuss theories about majora's mask being an early version of the fused darkness helmet!

Also captchas are getting more and more obscure.
mr2w/2 lintodj*

>>5588004
Hey, did you know that if there's a word on captcha that you absolutely cannot figure out, you can just type whatever you want for that word? Check pic, it worked.

>>5588004
Or maybe you're just becoming a computer? :P
Anyways, I'd also like to discuss theories on the meaning of this peculiar version of the game.
Like the other Link being Ben locked in the game,
captured because he lost the game to the Skull Kid.

So all theories on all these subjects are accepted.

>>5588041
I always fill that word in with "xtan"
hehe.
Pretty much any captcha word with numbers will take any input.
Just make sure you get the other one right.

to be honest the best sequel for this amazing OC is that this guy's friend write sometime later, asking for details, his dear friend who he lended his N64 has dissapeared and now there´s only one saved file in the MM game:

beware x... your turn.

>>5588047
but the BEN file was deleted and if OP loses also what happens? if we assume ben and op both lose and have the same ability to restore their saves then wtf?

>>5588082
Next person who get's the game is followed by two links?

Damn OP must know about about working this game to make a disassembly of it lol.

>>5588109
but youre only allowed two saves spots per cartridge so what would the other save file's name be or.....meh so many paths it could take

>>5587184

Hey there, Just throwing this out there. I'm a big time MM fan and I *THINK* I might be able to identify the way Link's body is lying on top of the clock tower as something from the game.

Now, I'm not 100% certain, but if I remember correctly, at the beginning of the game, when Link is bucked off of the horse at the beginning of the game, when the Skull Kid jumps out and scares Epona, didn't Link end up on his back in that pose?

It still doesn't change the fact that the pose is out of place there, but it certainly does go a long way to explaining the pose - if I'm right.

>buy game cartige/cd/bread whatever
>it has it's name written in black
>buy/get/steal/fuck it
>savestate has the name of some dead guy/girl/alien
>everything is normal at start but suddently everything is fucked up
>player dies

really spooky ooooOOOOOOoooohhhhhhh

>>5588134
That would have made SO Much sense, damn.
Sadly, no such luck. I just checked it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1_B9P2b2jg
1:31 you can see clearly. He's on his front, not his back, and the pose isn't remotely similar.

>>5588134
It would certainly push it toward a more logical aspect. I'm sure with enough modding skills you can move game cues to the wrong places, but making it do things it had never done before isn't impossible, but would take an immense amount of time.

Thus it's more logical when the cue's already exist. Good observation, can anyone confirm that though?

>>5588134
Here's the first scene.

>>5588134
And the second time he gets thrown around the corner.

>>5588182
this is assuming that bread would be technologically advanced to the point of it having savestates, yeah?

>>5588134

YES! I found the pose. Look here, at 2:15, when the Skull Kid kicks Link's body over so he can rob him in the opening cutscene - That's the pose he was lying in on top of the clock tower dead in OP's video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L57W7g0si2I

>>5588183
Aww, nice find though.
It was a good theory.
How about this, does he do those poses in any of the other games on the same system?
(I've only played Windwaker so I'm trying my best to just make sense out of inferences)

>>5588004

what the fuckmuffins is that pic from, I've been enjoying this thread fully but that is the first thing here to freak me out

>>5588199
Can you screencap???

I could speed run through this entire fucking game trying to find that pose, but I'm just gonna assume that he does it at some point.

>>5588134
he fell off face down i believe
the way link's legs are twisted reminds me of the gameshark codes for mario 64 like "ostrich mario" and "bent over backwards mario"

>>5588183
>>5588191
>>5588194

All three of you, See:
>>5588199

At 2:15 in the Intro, when Skull Kid kicks Link over to rob him, he's lying on his back with his head cocked up in exactly the same way as in OP's video.

>>5588199
Well done guy, well done.

>>5588209
Twilight princess, as he's being explained the triforce and sacred realm and dark interlopers by the spirit Lanayru. It's in flashback form, and they represent the dark interlopers as dark links.

>>5588217

here's your screencap of the youtube video, with Link lying on his back with his head cocked up.

I'm just happy OP stopped there and didn't answered anymore, and I hope he won't get cocky about his success and try to continue this. It is beautiful the way it is, just keep everybody wondering. Anything added and the spell may be broke.
Also, I did noticed the damn cow, I just had no idea what the hell it was, since I haven't played a Zelda game since The Legend. Just looked like a rectangular prop to me.
The sense of dread and loneliness OP describes is not that far fetched, okay, I felt too he was insisting a bit too much on those feelings, but like somebody else pointed out near the begining, you can get those feelings normally with other games, precisely with Shadow of the Colossus I constantly found myself thinking how fucking lonely and almost depressing it was (in a good way), and I'll be damned but the sense of dread was there with the water dragon colossus, that thing freaked me out precisely because you know there is something there in the depths waiting for you.
And please quit bitching about people trying to prove it's a fake, we all know it is, and those comments are part of the fun, without that contrast you can't even truly play along.

here's the screencap for that pose

>>5588266
Alright! That's one part down. Now we just need to figure out what's up with the lack of everything, the lines under the dawn of a new day thing, the statue showing up constantly, and the missing gong/cow head.

>>5588285
I thought that the statue was BEN, trapped by the Old Man. No?

>>5588285
>lack of everything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Qef0eXS7Y

Link goes from holding 12 arrows to 11 when leaving the tunnel leading to south clock town.

This thread no longer bumps, new one here:

>>5588387

>>5588373
MYTH FUCKING BUSTED

>>5588355
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Qef0eXS7Y
But with that, the Swordsman is still hiding in the back room. In op's story and in the video, the swordsman wasn't there.

>>5588410
i'm pretty sure there's a variant of the glitch where there are no actors at all
