Back in 2021, Waluigi fans finally got what they wanted. Waluigi ended up getting his own Super Smash Bros. trailer thanks to the efforts of King Bob. Towards the end of that trailer, King Bob teased that he was also working on including The Legend of Zelda’s Skull Kid into the mix.
Though years went by without this happening, King Bob continued to allude to a cinematic trailer for Skull Kid. Recently, King Bob announced that he’d no longer develop mods for Super Smash Bros. as he really just wanted to focus on creating trailers that told interesting stories. With that in mind, King Bob has finally released the Skull Kid trailer.
Needless to say, the new Skull Kid trailer captures the essence and themes of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask in ways that we’ve never seen before. Indeed, this ends up being an intense and truly terrifying trailer.
It really seems that the end is nigh for Clock Town as impact with the moon has become imminent. Many characters present in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have seemingly given up hope.
Even a character like Bowser ends up having a touching moment with Isabelle. However, it seems that Skull Kid has decided that the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has yet to endure enough suffering.
Eventually, Skull appears on the scene and directly engages with all the characters present. Things take an intense turn as most of the roster are transformed into dead, twisted trees.
The cinematic mostly follows Isabelle as she tries to escape Skull Kid’s wrath. In the end, it appears that Young Link is the only one that’s still around to protect her.
However, an unlikely hero is also ready to make his debut as a Super Smash Bros. character within this trailer. Regardless, King Bob is able to tell a pretty compelling story in just four minutes.
Check it all out below:
Despite only really have a presence in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, there are a lot of fans out there that would someday love to see Skull Kid (equipped with Majora’s Mask) actually join the roster for a Super Smash Bros. entry.
Masahiro Sakurai recently revealed that he’s been working on a secret game project since April 2022. Perhaps this sort of thing could someday become a reality.
