10 Video Game Secrets You Can't Unsee
5. Ben Drowned Creepy Pasta - The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
Even without any creepy secrets or eerie Easter eggs, there's no denying that Majora's Mask is an unsettling game. The melancholic, depressing, abstract tone and setting of Link's adventure across a doomed Termina is a far cry from the majestic quest of a Link to the Past or the epic journey across Ocarina of Time's Hyrule Field.
In other words, there was no need for the game to get weirder, as the series has yet to return to the darker tone of its second outing on the N64.
The game got stranger, however, when whispers of a haunted cartridge circled the internet in 2010. A 4chan user claimed to have received a second-hand copy of the game, and once booted up noticed that a save file named 'BEN' still on the save screen. Thinking nothing of it, they started a new save, but unsettling events began to occur, from incorrect text to unscripted texture pop-ins.
The whole event is perhaps nothing more than a teenage prank, but with precious few unopened Majora's Mask cartridges left in the wild, you'll just have to discover for yourself.
