One could easily take a look at this image and shrug it off as a typical children’s fairy tale. Next to the girl but fading into the shadows, there’s a big gray hand, firm in the way its fingers curl into the palm like a statue that has fallen to the ground. On the front cover, there’s a tiny, wide-eyed girl in a polka-dot dress, hiding amongst the giant clovers, grass, and leaves that take up most of the image. The cover of Fabian Vehlmann and Kerascoët’s graphic novel BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS tells you everything and nothing all at once.

Horror In Video Games: How To Do It Rightġ. And now, finally, I can share with you a list of what I’ve found – the comics that remind me of MAJORA’S MASK. MAJORA’S MASK just has this precise feel to it that I have searched for in other media ever since I first played. The bold color scheme somehow added to the horror rather than diminishing it. If I lost, I had to watch as all the characters I’d grown to care for died in a horrific, catastrophic event. It’s the first game I ever played where I honestly felt like my actions had consequences. MAJORA’S MASK is a game that is near and dear to my heart. Here, a demonic mask possesses a creature who then curses the moon to come crashing down on everything in three days. The entire game is timed, but Link’s trusty Ocarina of Time lets him manipulate the timeline as he seeks a way to stop the moon’s descent. During Link’s travels, he comes across a bizarre land called Termina. The woods are dark and foreboding rather than whimsical.

Most ZELDA games are known for their epic fantasy, but MAJORA’S MASK has a pretty different vibe from the rest of the games. It’s the month of Halloween, which means it’s time for me to once again obsess over my very favorite LEGEND OF ZELDA game, MAJORA’S MASK. This week, make sure not to follow any fair folk that dance beneath a doomed moon, because we’re looking at THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA’S MASK! It’s a new “5 for the Fandom!” In this weekly ComicsVerse series, we pick a fandom and find 5 comics that remind us of that fandom, whether in tone, aesthetics, or themes.
