Month of Horrors: The Creepiest Moments in Video Games Part 3

And here we are with part 3 of the Creepiest Moments in Video Games. Now, like the first one, this isn't a moment IN a game, but a commercial for one. However, honestly? This commercial encapsulates the feel of the game really well, and I feel it is creepy enough to put here in its own right.

5. The Commercials for The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask


Now, probably the biggest scare factor in these, at least for me, is the realistic nature of them. This is something that I'll be going into some more later, but the fact that they take the idea of Majora's Mask, and then make it real does a great job of creeping me out. It's suddenly not just that if you don't stop the moon, the fictional land of Termina will be destroyed. Now, if you don't stop the moon, the real world will be destroyed. Real people will die, and there's only one child able to stop it from happening. And I realize that it's ridiculous to believe that this is real, but then again, isn't that true of any story? Isn't just a show of how good a job the marketers did with these commercials that I am honestly a little frightened by them?

Yes. Yes, it is. These commercials are awesome. Good job, whoever thought of them. You really made me, and I'm sure many others, want to play Majora's Mask. And also maybe gave some of us nightmares.
