Though the heat of summer is still upon many, oneLegend of Zeldafan has already carved an impressive jack-o-lantern based uponMajora’s Mask. The game, which took a significantly creepier turn than its predecessorOcarina of Time, is arguably a perfect subject for something Halloween-related.
Majora’s Maskhas 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.

Reddit user andZeldafan sci_bastian shared their creation with the web, showcasing four images of theirdesign of a Majora’s Maskjack-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 thegame-themed jack-o'-lanternwould 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 a little spotting it illuminated in the dark.
Right now, mostZeldafans are likely focused on looking forward to the next game in the series,Tears of the Kingdom. The upcomingZeldatitle received a brief glimpse of its world in a teaser during the most recent Nintendo Direct. However, Nintendo is keeping the overall plot close to the chest for now, leaving many fans poring over every detail in an effort to decipher what’s going on in the follow-up toBreath of the Wild.
As a sequel to one of the most iconic entries to theZeldaseries ever, chances are fans will be comparing the success ofTears of the Kingdomas a follow-up with howMajora’s Maskfared following upOcarina of Time, once it releases. While eager fans have a while to wait forTears of the Kingdom,Majora’s Maskis already available to play on Nintendo SwitchOnline’s Expansion Pack.
