The greatest losing streak in the history of the Zelda series has been ended after 25 years thanks to a Majora's Mask fan who provided the perfect conditions for the game's most unfortunate NPC to finally triumph - and it still took 30,000 attempts. 'The Legend of Blue Dog' stems from Majora's Mask's dog racing minigame.
In that game, Link can pick a dog to bet on, gaining rewards if his pick does well in the next race. There are 14 dogs to bet on; four white, three gray, three beige, two brown, one gold, and one blue.
Each dog's chance of winning isn't a simple one-in-fourteen, however - their color and condition will both affect their performance in the race.
Every time the dogs are loaded in, they're granted a condition that can augment their speed - essentially, the number of frames that each dog moves every second.
Four dogs will get a good condition, increasing their speed a little, while five will get a bad condition, which slows them down.
