Creepy Zelda is creepy...

If you guys are an active internet user, you might have stumbled across this story by now.

So, apparently, a guy got himself a free copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and the game haunted him, doing creepy stuff on him. Just go read the story and watch the video of his footage in game.

Sure, it might be a fake story, but then again, the story is definitely a great story. It creeps the hell out of me. For that, I really respect the author of this story. If it's a fake story, he certainly took time and commitment to create this well-done story. You guys should all read it.

Again, a quote from our respectable Anon:

I can't believe there are people dumb enough that they think they are clever for pointing out that this 'MUST' be fake. Obviously. We get it. After 400+ comments, we know there are many reasons it must be.

People, just enjoy the story. Let it suck you in and give you goosebumps.

Letting yourself believe it for the 30~ minutes you are involved is better than instantly looking for a reason to take a shit on all of its creativity. Sure, there are people who watch movies and say, "OH THIS COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE OF X, Y AND Z!" But... most of us just enjoy it for the amount of time it lasts.

Just think -- "What would it be like if this actually happened?" Because, honestly, you never really know... and that's the fun in it!

Also, please appreciate the amount of time this person put in. Not only did he write a hell of a lot of text, but he also had to release stuff on time, and make a mod to record his 'story' on video. Finally, he had to edit and compile the video to his story and maintain it on his youtube channel. Whether or not it's 'hard' to do this isn't the question. It's time consuming and takes creativity. Even if you are an amazing moder, you still need to THINK about what you want to do before you do it.

Becoming an internet meme ain't easy business.

When people start shouting, "You shouldn't have done that..." for the next YEAR+ over the internet, the creator of this can sit back and chuckle and finally say... "That's because of me... :)"

Also, he probably is watching every single site that is documenting this story... laughing at all the shit he stirred up. Now isn't that hilarious?
