A dedicated fan used code and an emulator to run thousands of races in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, finally achieving the impossible: a blue dog victory. The blue dog, notorious for its consistently poor performance, overcame the odds thanks to a glitch and strategic scripting.
Yes it's a Zelda game, but bear with me because this is a story only possible on PC. The Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask was first released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, and since then has been the mainline entry that all the cool kids say is best. There are plenty of reasons for this, from the grim and unsettling atmosphere to the brilliant Groundhog Day structure, but one of the enduring appeals is all of the game's mysteries.
First of all, the game is designed in order for the player to exploit it. Once Link has obtained the Mask of Truth, you can equip this and pick up the dogs to tell what they're thinking: Dogs with happy thoughts are likely to finish higher, while dogs that are under the weather are a bad pick. On top of this, the gold dog is a bit of a winner, and when his thoughts begin with"ruff" a first place finish is highly likely.
The below video by Vidya James does an excellent job of explaining the entire blue dog saga, and goes into detail on the parts I'm simplifying as well as including all the relevant clips. But this glitch was key in encouraging an individual who goes by Falkush to start messing around, and seeing if they could come up with a legitimate in-game scenario where the blue dog wins.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
This wasn't enough for Falkush, who wanted a legitimate blue dog victory. They tweaked the script to not only maximise blue dog's chances, but minimise the chances of the gold dog and the other faster dogs . If there were any circumstances under which the blue dog could win, this was them.
