My favorite creepypasta ever. I'll never forget hearing mutahar reading this years ago

You have quickly risen to the top of my charts as far as favorite ytrs. You just upload so frequently.

I've actually never heard of this! This was really fun to listen to!

Man i loved haunted gaming im so glad youre bringing it back

Man this takes me back to when someordinarygamers read creepypastas. It's been at least 8 or 9 years since I've listened to creepypastas in general, but today this showed up as a recommendation from YT. Thanks for helping me revisit my high school years.

there are SOOOOOOOO many bad creepypastas (ESPECIALLY kirby ones) which did the exact same twist of "describing a horrific apocalyptic situation and the last line reveals it was about insert video game here" but much MUCH worse. hearing this EXPLAINED soooo much. like THIS is what they were all doing a terrible job of ripping off. THIS is where they all got the idea. i really wish i didnt get confused on why this was a gaming pasta and didnt google "XOrax Zelda" to understand it. honestly a really intresting idea for a pasta. would love a continuation or perhaps fan game which showed the events of OOT through this post apocalyptic and depressing lense, as a third person observer controlling link through a destroyed country as he explores ruins full of raiders which in his mind are cute dungeons with puzzles. could honestly be a really fun idea.

I remember reading this back in the day and it was like massive whip lash at the end.

Honestly, I really liked this one. Just the possibility of Link's adventure actually just being a kid's hallucinations turning a post-apocalyptic virus-infected world into a cute RPG world is creepy to me, but I love the execution. The way the creepypasta slowly reveals details that explain all the "clans/races" of hyrule and builds up to that moment of "oh shit, it was the world of LOZ all along!", the only thing that disappoints me us that there seems to be no sequel explaining the rest and detailing Link's adventure in this new context. I'd really like to see who all the characters like Zelda, Ganondorf, Ruto, Impa etc. Really are when looked at from this lens and how the lore can be twisted to fit this new angle to the story in ways that it feels like it makes sense.

I realized why the background footage was a zelda game when you got to the tree house!

oh man this brings me back.

My god, this style of video reminds me of SoG waaay back in the day when Muta read creepypastas and did haunted gaming and such

Blew my mind as a young 13 year old. This is a good ol classic

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVS AS A KID, I'M FEELING SO NOSTALGIC HEARING THIS even thought the plot twist is basically . . . . . . . . . . . . . fallout: ocarina of time

Yooo I've never listened to it! I loved it! The twist really hits hard!

weird to see youtube neglect to show me this one despite being subscribed, good vid tho. been a good while since i listened to an old-school creepypasta reading

On the topic of the hazmat people speaking of exterminating all contaminated people: it would have been really cool if they made the hazmat suits seem more like the gerudo.

Well the magic is recontextualized as hallucinations.

i think i never finished tp this creepypasta from start ot end as a kid bc that ending hit me out of nowhere

I'd love to see you review Maple Riots LOZ live. As in giving live commentary while watching it for the (presumably) first time. Not actually having a live video. The whole LOZ isn't even three minutes long. I have a theory that I have absolutely no doubt is true but I want to see you reaction before I give a summary.

good video. made me feel the same way today that old SOG vidoes made me feel when i was little..

So, XoRax is . . . Link's Disease?

Told him not to smoke that strange herb hey listen

My first(besides rewatching 3 times😏) hearing I see Y its a classic it a mod of this Xorax would be so dope, Im willing to treat it as an alt because of how much I enjoyed it

Lore of 'XoRax' Creepypasta momentum 100

Let’s gooo

The Lorax?

*(SPOILER)* You said a lot of stuff in the game didn't make sense within the context of the story, but you have to remember: XoRaX _is_ considered a disease. The children, be it from the disease or the experimental testing by the Day Crew, begin hallucinating, including our narrator. After the kicker at the end, one can assume literally everything in the game past that point is just a wild hallucination. For all we know, physically, he's doing his best Fred Sanford impression, but mentally he thinks he's going through the entirety of OoT. If it's all hallucination, it doesn't need to mention most of the world-building or lore, because the lore can just be random hallucinatory thoughts from the narrator, too. Even if the story is inaccurate, this could be a recurring hallucination - would probably make sense if you go with the notion that "the Legend of Zelda," being a "legend" means the games are all the same events, but told differently as a legend changed, i.e. the games are recurring, just like the hallucinations - and it could be hallucinated slightly differently each time. Or we could just have an unreliable narrator.

Ive never heard this one before. This one is now my favorjte creepypasta. This is awesome. Was wondering why you chose Zelda as background and then i had to rewatch the whole thing to make sure i wasnt in a fever dream lol. Great video, happy you introduced me to this one.
