Many of the lines written for NPCs in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask relate to crunch, including its infamous “you’ve met with a terrible fate” line.
It’s widely known that the game was developed in under two years – an extremely short amount of time that led to huge pressure and Nintendo employees working overtime.
As unearthed from Japanese magazines by YouTube channel DidYouKnowGaming, the game’s writers inserted their experience of crunch into the mouths of the game’s NPCs.
