If you were lucky enough to own a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition promo disc for GameCube and happen to still have it, you might want to dig it out and try out this neat little Easter egg hidden in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.
As he pointed out YANIS4224 to the Paste Bin (thanks, Reimagined gameplay), if you enter a certain combination of button presses while playing, you’ll be treated to a single credit screen featuring the developers responsible for designing the N64 emulator for the GameCube release.
The button combo is an extension of the classic ‘Konami Code’ cheat that if you’ve been around as long as we have, you’re probably already familiar with it.
It goes like this:
Press the following keys while holding L + R + Z:
– dpad up
– dpad up
– dpad down
– dpad down
– dpad left
– dpad right
– dpad left
– dpad right
– X
– Y
– B
– A
– dpad up
– dpad left
– dpad down
– dpad right
– A
– the beginning
It’s a neat way to acknowledge the people who worked hard to get Majora’s Mask onto the GameCube, and it’s honestly amazing that we’ve gone this long without noticing it before.
The promotional disc on the GameCube contained the original The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, a demo for The Wind Waker, and a bunch of accompanying videos.
