Skull Kid is the masked antagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, released in 2000, where he uses Majora's Mask to pull the moon toward the land of Termina. His scream captures the game's unsettling mix of childish mischief and genuine menace, which helped clips from the game circulate widely among Zelda fans online. As Majora's Mask remained a cult favourite through re-releases and retrospectives, the sound stayed in use for dramatic edits, especially whenever a creator wants a moment to feel suddenly, absurdly world-ending.
