Recently, a hidden feature in Majora's Mask that has remained undiscovered for over two decades has finally been revealed. Nintendo has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality games upon release and for consistently reintroducing classic titles on new platforms over the years. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask made its way to the Gamecube Virtual Console in November 2003, following its initial launch on Nintendo 64 in 2000. It is only now that a fascinating Easter egg has surfaced in the game's end credits.

The Gamecube adaptation was carried out by a small team whose names were not listed in the original credits, nor were they included in this version. Remarkably, this group managed to conceal their identities from even Nintendo, utilizing a specific button combination reminiscent of the famous "Konami code".

According to a discovery made by a user across various social networking sites, the group consisting of six individuals from the Engineering team can be revealed by following a particular sequence of button presses in the original game. The precise sequence to unlock this secret while holding L + R + Z is: dpad up, arrow up, arrow down, arrow down, arrow left, dpad right, dpad left, dpad right, X, Y, B, A, dpad up, dpad left, dpad down, dpad right, A, Start.

This hidden feature adds another layer of intrigue to an already beloved game, showcasing the creativity and dedication of the developers behind this classic title.
