Welcome back Top 10 Gaming friends.
Im your host with the most, Johnny Rogers and today well be telling you some of our
favorite Top 10 Zelda Creepypastas.
#10 Zelda 64 Beta This is a tale of a glitched Zelda game that
reacts to players and offers a free roaming feature chalked full of disturbing imagery
and sounds.
Each time he restarted the map would change slightly so he would have to continue based
only on instincts from his last time there.
He described the background music to be sounds of moans, sobs, yells and weird scratching.
Each temple he explored had a similar outcome as well.
He would reach a large grey colored face with sunken eyes and cracked lips that he would
then attack with Links sword.
The boss if you will - would burst into flames and fade to a new doorway for him to explore.
This first entryway led the player to a white screen that faded into them in a endless desert.
After making their way through the next dungeon and reaching the top of the spiral staircase.
They came to a platform with a large arrow pointing off the edge.
They jumped off the edge and the screen flashed white again bringing the player to another
new area.
It seemed as though someone created a version of Zelda that reacted to the players fears
and seemingly never ended.
The player warns at the end of the story that it may be a game, but it knows you are playing.
#9 The Hands This creepypasta happens when a player buys
a used copy of Zelda and notices something is off when they enter the Shadow Temple.
After they drained the well, they noticed the evil character Dead Hand, except not its
infinite hands, just a single one sticking out of the well.
He allows the hand to pull him into the well and when he defeats Dead Hand a message saying
- Come back here 30 years in the past.
Ill be waiting for you.
He knew the game must of meant his 30 year old copy of Zelda he had in the attic, so
he finds the copy loads it up and sure enough long white bloody hands are sticking out of
the ground everywhere.
An NPC even leaves him a chilling message that Dead Hand had destroyed their world for
the last 30 years because the player left the game.
When he comes face to face with Dead Hand hes not so easy to defeat this time, the villain
completely destroys Link even pulling out his organs ripping him apart.
The player immediately shuts off the game and locks it in his attic.
The game however still haunts him, he sees Dead Hands face at night and with every day
his own hands grow thinner and whiter.
#8 XoRax This creepypasta is a bit of a trip and details
an interesting take on the beginnings of the character known as Link.
The story begins with a terrible virus known as XoRax that had killed the protagonists
family.
After the breakout he remembers people banging on his door searching for survivors.
They discovered several other kids his age that seemingly were immune to the disease
and so they hid them in a forest in hopes to study them under quarantine.
Things begin taking a turn when some of the participants of the study start to see trails
of light and even weirder - hallucinations of creatures in the air.
Soon thereafter the people conducting the studies gave up on the experiment with no
hopes of creating a cure for the disease.
The other children befriended these imaginary creatures.
As for our protagonist well he awoke to another trailing ball of light that descended to his
bed and said - Hello, Link.
Wake up.
The great Deku Tree has summoned you.
#7 Happiness For Sale This story is about a real life version of
the happy mask salesman.
Our protagonist has an interaction with the salesman that his creepy beyond belief.
He first sees the salesman walking down the street staring into peoples souls with a giant
grin on his face.
Everyone he passed was left speechless and when he reached our protagonist he noticed
the man wasnt a man at all, he appeared to be a demon who was ageless.
The following day he notices the salesman had a shop in the town village and was welcoming
people into it, yet not a word was ever spoken.
The silence was deafening so the boy decided to explore the shop.
On his way in several people left with masks and a glazed look in their eyes.
When he was about to confront the salesman as to his true identity a young boy walked
in with his hands open.
The Happy Mask man cracked open his jaw and began eating the child.
Terrified our protagonist tries to run as the Happy Mask Man reveals a new mask made
from the childs skin.
He rushes home to his parents who then venture back into the town to confront this evil character.
Although when they arrive the shop is gone.
He leaves us with this note - If you see a man in your hometown claiming to sell masks,
a man who looks off and seems to be hiding something sinister - stay away from him, he
isnt human.
Whatever he -- no it--- is, it is the very essence of evil itself.
#6 Majoras Mask Not to be confused with the Ben creepypasta,
this one adds to the Majoras Mask phenomenon.
They were using a gameshark to mess with the game when an odd code came up they hadnt seen
before.
In this hacked version they noticed the moon was falling towards the earth and covering
the moons grin was Majoras Mask.
The eyes however were following the players every which way they looked.
Following that extremely disturbing images of characters being killed in gruesome deaths
flashed on the screen.
Suddenly a hand came up, pulled the mask aside and underneath was the Skull kid.
He then uttered the words - you lost the game.
The screen then goes black and the N64 automatically shut off.
#5 Links Awakening This creepypasta begins with a hacked copy
of Zelda Links Awakening.
He realized something was off when the game starts with Link tossing and turning while
Marin watches.
This hacked game also used the owl in the game to lure the player to a forest prompting
him to do horrible actions with the sword he just found.
Throughout the game the player could hear horrible sounds of screams and loud screeching
noises any time he had defeated a character in the game.
After resetting the game to check and make sure it wasnt a glitch things began to get
darker.
The file name was changed from Link to Black and the owl was still there ordering the player
to do strange things.
They come across a black sword and a wand, when picking up the wand the screen flashed.
Every tree in the game was now on fire and every interaction he had with a character
led to their demise always with the owl in proximity.
They would say one last thing, then a flash, followed by a gruesome and realistic death.
#4 The Final Days This creepypasta is almost a fan made origin
story for Majoras Mask.
It begins with a man and his team setting out to create towers to replace an old bloody
history of their land.
They travelled to a valley near an abandoned castle on the edge of a desert and began construction.
The mans son is the protagonist in this storyline and as it continues he describes hearing strange
noises in the night.
One fateful night a member of their construction team stumbled back to camp bloodied and terrified.
He had a message for the team that the guardians were watching.
He also carried with him a mask that seemed to hypnotize the crew.
Even with danger all around them they continued to build the towers and any time the son tried
to speak with his father he could only utter the words - For Majora son, were doing this
for Majora.
#3 Wind Waker The player hoping to find a download for Wind
Waker spent hours searching for a ROM, but time after time they failed.
It wasnt until he was on the 16th page of google where he found a link to the legend
of zelda the wind waker download.
In a turn of events the game begins taunting the player even calling him out by name after
he watched Link be killed in the most gruesome of deaths possible.
The game actually said - You must continue evan.
After shutting off the emulator and deciding to explore YouTube the emulator and game started
up on their own.
Except this time he just saw countless dead bodies surrounding a tree, but they didnt
resemble any characters he knew from the game.
When he hit start on the game each save file just said - You Failed
#2 What if I told you..
This creepypasta is moreso a letter to Skull kid from Mayor Dotour.
This unique creepypasta tells the story of the clocktower and its malevolence within.
It also hints at the reason why Majoras mask called to the Skull Kid.
Perhaps this letter was the reason why he sought it out in the first place.
It urges him to seek out the Happy Mask Salesman and steal the mask to use its almighty powers
to end corruption.
The letter goes into great detail as to why certain strange happenings go on from children
being tortured to human sacrifices to ward off a giant creature that returns with every
full moon.
He ends the letter by saying - I hope you plan this well because it will be my final
request.
I hope it is for the best, after all.
#1 BEN This is our number one spot because it is
believed to be the creepypasta that began everything for Zelda creepypastas.
It also has several story arcs and added parts but I will get to as much as I can to describe
its origins.
Its a chilling tale of a haunted Zelda Majoras Mask Cartridge.
The story includes a demented portrayal of Link, The Happy Mask Salesman and Ben our
mysterious ghost controlling things in the game and outside of it.
Our player starts alone in Clock Town and can only hear the Happy Mask Salesmans laugh
wherever he goes.
His character is also in a twisted state, the words on the screen are jibberish with
the only clear sentence being - youve met with a terrible fate, havent you.
After a number of weird things happen in the game the ghost seemingly takes over his computer
and begins chatting with him through an AI cleverbot.
Through the bot, Ben tells him he enjoyed messing with his computer and that he wanted
to toy with the player.
Then saying - If I hadn’t revealed myself and stayed hidden, only doing little things
to play with you.
Close out your windows, turn off your computer, move your mouse by itself.
Little things.
Make you wonder if I am there but you never know.
Give you little hints that I am.
I wanted to do something different with you.
