A mini documentary of sorts that I've been wanting to throw together about the frightening real-life alien encounter that inspired the ghost attack in Majora's Mask. I recount, in brief, the story of the Flatwoods Monster and how Nintendo used that account to model their aliens after. Thanks for watching, and be sure to subscribe for more, my Hylians!

[JoeFilms]

Waking up to a new Retroatron upload is the biggest W

Also as a side note I’ve seen the image of the Flatwoods Monster before, I assumed it was something made to look like the Majora’s Mask aliens. I had no idea “they” were inspired by something else!

Happy Halloween Retroatron and Majora's Mask is a great game!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one mate. From the engaging storytelling to the crisp audio and visuals, it was a treat. As always, love your work and look forward to more ;)

In Japan, the Flatwoods Monster is a "default" design for an "alien", much like how in the USA and in many other places in the world the "default" alien design is a "Grey" (the Grey is also equally well known in Japan). This is odd because the case happened in the USA yet the alien design is arguably more well known in Japan. People all over the world claimed to have seen F\Greys but the Flatwoods Monster incident is the only time that kind of creature was seen. I think this is because the incident was made widely known through UFO magazines & television shows in Japan, whereas in the USA it's more localized for the average person unless you're into the UFO-paranormal subject and discover it on your own, for the most part.

Furthermore, whilst the aliens themselves are based on the Flatwoods Monster, the events on the ranch with multiple aliens sieging a farmstead more resembles the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter.

Side note: You show two depictions of the Flatwoods Monster in the vid. The sketch depicting the monster with antennae instead of arms, and the overall design looking more mechanical, is actually the more accurate depiction. The depiction where it looks like a strange floating creature with arms and a skirt is based on a sketch that the witnesses claimed was partially incorrect, as the sketch artist misunderstood a few things; the witness said the lower conical part was "pleated like a skirt" and the artist decided to literally draw a skirt, and somehow misinterpreted horizontal antennae as arms with claws. Unfortunately this is the more well-known depiction.

Thank you. This is my favorite game of all time I remember playing this side quest in particular over and over again resetting the time just to defeat “them” I’ve heard this story several times but this is the first time in a long time I was very intrigued about it. this is a very thought out video and the production is executed phenomenal great video and thank you for the reminder of this story

[JacobKeele]

Your storytelling is always so good!
I really enjoyed this one! I had no idea it was based in reality! Super freaky!
Well done, as always!

The Flatwoods Monster. An oldy but a goodie! I might need to make a very long playlist for tonight!
First off, every single THEY/THEM/Flatwoods Monster theory on Majora's Mask. Then Gemini Home Entertainment, and finally the good oldies of top Scary Easter Eggs in Video Games from Tats TopVideos. And I'll see about what else I can add from there.

Just discovered something interesting, the Flatwoods Monster has an appearance in the 3DS game Tomodachi Life! It can be found in the “Mystery” themed room. I guess Nintendo just really liked that story.

[strandedgeek]

That concept art with the UFO looks like something out of Independence Day. I'm honestly surprised & kind of glad they didn't because LOOKS like fake news (double checked, turns out I'm the joke on that one. Holy crap!)

[VictorQueirozPlayer]

Hi man please comeback with your channel is a great channel of Zelda!

[archagenteverlasting]

The flatwoods monster being so popular in Japan has always fascinated me! If you're interested, hazel has a really good video on it.

[waterisaneurotoxin]

If this had been real they would have probably seen either a robot or an alien in a space/hazmat/something suit.
