10 Deceptively Simple Video Game Quests That Went Bad QUICK

5. Protecting Romani Ranch - Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Compared to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask's setting is definitely darker and more unsettling. The whole world is on the brink of destruction, and even if you try to take your mind off the falling moon staring at you from above, the rest of Termina isn't really any less disturbing.

Even a place as serene as Romani's ranch holds dark secrets. Its owner, a young girl named Romani, is constantly dealing with thieves taking away her precious cows. The girl believes the culprits to be aliens, and while everyone seems to disregard her theory as paranoid speculation, you can still help her watch over her cattle for the night.

It's easy to disregard Romani's alien theory and expect the mission to end with you fending off a bunch of bandits at best. However, at night, the ranch does get visited by something extraterrestrial...

Floating in the air with bright yellow eyes, the ghost-like aliens swarm the ranch and quickly turn a simple defense mission into a scenario straight out of a horror story.

Worst of all, failing to fend them off will result in Romani getting abducted and then brainwashed. The next time you meet her, she'll mumble to herself and barely acknowledge your existence.

See? That's why you listen to your friends!
