The biggest loser in Zelda: Majora's Mask finally ends its 25-year losing streak, as 30,000 brute-force attempts finally debunk the myth of Blue Dog

Majora's Mask.

The greatest losing streak in the history of the Zelda series has been ended after 25 years thanks to a Majora's Mask fan who provided the perfect conditions for the game's most unfortunate NPC to finally triumph - and it still took 30,000 attempts.

'The Legend of Blue Dog' stems from Majora's Mask's dog racing minigame. In that game, Link can pick a dog to bet on, gaining rewards if his pick does well in the next race. There are 14 dogs to bet on; four white, three gray, three beige, two brown, one gold, and one blue. Each dog's chance of winning isn't a simple one-in-fourteen, however - their color and condition will both affect their performance in the race.
