"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
~
I've wanted to play around with this idea for a long time now, and I had a ridiculous amount of fun with the concept. :D
The basic idea is that instead of recovering the Ocarina of Time and regaining his true form, Link remains trapped in Deku form...but Majora's curse is slightly fractured, perhaps unable to fully compete with the power of the Triforce of Courage. As Link matures, his true features merge with those of his cursed body, and he becomes a nightmarish vision of Deku meshed with Hylian, resembling some dungeon-crawling wraith rather than the Hero of Time.
Scary antihero Link YAY~
Link, Majora, the Deku, and all things Legend of Zelda belong to Nintendo.
The above concept and design belong to TideKeeper.
Have fun trying to steal Link, guys. Lemme know how that goes.

Thank you! Trippy or creepy was the aim for sure! :'D
I came into the Zelda fandom somewhat late (Ocarina of Time being my first game in the series) but I was hooked. OoT and Majora's Mask are my favorites, but I adore the original title and Link to the Past as well. :D
They just announced a remake of Majora's Mask for the 3DS to be released in spring and I'm ecstatic; I've been hoping for it for a very long time--it's very dark and twisted in terms of storyline and themes, and that's right up my alley, haha~

Niice. Sounds like the newer games are way more detailed. I played the original one for the first time in 1986 and I was hooked. Back then, that was a truly epic fantasy game because it was the first one on a console system I remember that offered you the ability to SAVE a game. I actually have a copy of the ROM for it and can play it in a NES emulator on my Linux systems today. The second one, Link, was a lot more sophisticated than the first - allowed you to attack via side-screen view and do stuff like thrust downward. Heh, again, sounds kinda silly by modern standards, but was a big deal back then.

Oh no worries! I think my introduction to "epic videogaming" was with an old Dizzy the Egg title for NES -- I never beat it (and the console wound up heading to greener pastures), but I always had a lot of fun trying to get to new areas and such. It was very different from the mood/feeling of other games I played back then, for sure. :D
I'm kind of sad I missed out on the Zelda train when it first set out, but I have a great affection for older games. (Don't get me started on Joust, haha~)Hmm...I can't remember my first proper encounter with a game with save files. I abused the mess out of Sonic 3's save system, but I feel like I played something before that with a save function...
Can't remember for the life of me what it might have been. :/-
Well there's no reason to miss out on the old Zelda stuff - you can pick up the ROMs and emulators for free. ^_^ This is what I use: http://www.fceux.com/web/home.html
Joust... lol. Yeah. ^^; Hmm.. first game with a save feature... for me that was a text-driven RPG I played on the Apple IIe in the early 1980s (on glorious green-screen!). While I had a Commodore Vic20 prior to my NES, and games loaded from tape (yes.... tape), none actually saved to tape. The Commodore 64 had ones that did, but I didn't have one of those. Went from Vic20 to NES to PC.

Oooh awesome! :D I'll have to give those a try; thanks so much for the link!
I missed the Commodore era by a little bit, I think, but the Apple sounds a little familiar. I had a couple of little educational games on one, but I couldn't tell you which ones, I'm afraid. :x
It's really amazing how rapidly gaming technology has evolved, when you think about it...-
Ooooh yeah. I was born in 1975, so I remember my folks being all excited about renting an Atari Ultra-pong console that had 4 games, IN COLOUR (lol) bullt into it. That was probably 1979. The idea that you could control something on your TV was really trippy. Then I remember Collicovision and the Atari 2600 both making appearances along with the Commodore stuff, then the NES. The NES, I think, was the one that really started drawing people in to video games and turned it into a massive industry. Games like Zelda certainly helped with that.
-
So awesome...~ You got to watch the industry in its very first stages! :'D It's really funny to think that there was a time where it was uncertain whether video games would even be successful in the at-home console department...
AND THEN IT EXPLODED~
-
nodsnods Yeah, That's one neat thing Gen-X had; we got to see the transition from the old world to the new pre/post electronics. VERY cool time - wouldn't have traded that childhood for any modern one. ^_^

I... am so out of touch with the Zelda games... given I've only ever played the first two. O_O Nonetheless... this is trippy.
