The Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge is an important item within Johnisdead. The Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge was the copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that Ben's Ascended spirit became trapped in on April 23rd, 2002. The cartridge also came to possess Tenebris and gained supernatural properties over time.
History
Ben was gifted The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on his birthday in 2002 by his father Hank.[1] Ben managed to complete over 70% of the game, obtaining 75% of the masks and making his way to the Stone Tower.[2] When Ben was ascended on April 23rd, 2002, his spirit became trapped within his copy of Majora's Mask. At some point, perhaps at the same time as Ben, Tenebris became trapped within the cartridge as well.
At some point, The Old Man obtained the cartridge. During this period, he became Tenebris's conduit and was eventually blinded in one eye.[3] Eventually, the Old Man encountered Alex and presumably recognized him as an individual chosen by Luna. It is likely for this reason that he passed the cartridge off to him.[4] Alex proceeded to play the cartridge, making contact with Ben and Tenebris. Through both the recordings he made on Jadusable and the spreading of TheTruth.rtf, Tenebris was able to escape the cartridge alongside Ben. At some point, Alex decided to burn the cartridge, destroying it.[5] However, it is unknown if this ever came to pass as Kayd claims that Alex simply lost the cartridge during a Moon Children IRC chat.[6]
What happened to the cartridge after this is unknown. It was later seen in the videos sacredartifact.mp4 and 423 in 2019 where it was seemingly being used in some sort of ritual. The cartridge wasn't seen again until June 19th, 2020 in the video Konvergenz, where Tyler discovered it in the bottom of a shopping cart presumably within the Parallelos.
