Zelda Fan Makes Impressive Majora’s Mask-Themed Jack-o'-Lantern

gamerant.com:

Though the heat of summer is still upon many, one Legend of Zelda fan has already carved an impressive jack-o-lantern based upon Majora's Mask. The game, which took a significantly creepier turn than its predecessor Ocarina of Time, is arguably a perfect subject for something Halloween-related.

Majora's Mask has passed its twentieth anniversary already, but it's clear that it still holds a prominent place in many gamers' minds and hearts. The mask itself sees itself frequently recreated by the fans, not only in traditional mediums, but even as things like baked pies. That's seemingly the same mindset that went into creating this particular jack-o'-lantern.

Zelda Fan Makes Incredible Real-Life Replica of Majora’s Mask

Reddit user and Zelda fan sci_bastian shared their creation with the web, showcasing four images of their design of a Majora's Mask jack-o'-lantern. The mask itself has been delicately carved, with surrounding pumpkin removed in order to backlight it when the pumpkin is illuminated. The effort looks good, but it's especially impressive once it's illuminated and the room dimmed, as the details of the mask become more apparent. According to the artist, they created the design entirely with a traditional pumpkin carving kit, making the work even more impressive.

Fans seem to be quite receptive to the work, praising the effort and asking the user about how they made it. However, several also lamented that the pumpkin wouldn't last forever, with some expressing sadness that the game-themed jack-o'-lantern would ever rot, while others pointed out that it might not even last long enough to make it to Halloween. Short-lived canvas or not, the artwork is very impressive and would likely make any fan of the series shiver
