Ben was a normal boy who loved Zelda. After his death, his spirit became bound to the cartridge of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Over time, the sadness, anger, confusion, and isolation of his death transformed him into the entity known as Ben Drowned. However, the original creepypasta doesn't explain the process exactly. Readers discover that there's a presence called BEN within the game, but they don't receive a detailed description of how he went from being a child to becoming a supernatural entity. The general idea is: Ben was a kid who was a huge Zelda fan. He died tragically (in many versions, by drowning). His spirit became trapped or bound to the cartridge. Over the years, that presence began to alter the game. Finally, when other people played the cartridge, BEN was able to interact with them through messages, errors, and strange phenomena.

Mysterious: He rarely reveals what he really thinks or plans. He prefers to observe before acting. Manipulator: In the original creepypasta, he usually plays with people's emotions and reactions, provoking fear or confusion to obtain a response. Intelligent and astute: Quickly understands the weaknesses of others and knows how to exploit them. Mischievous and a prankster in a disturbing way: Enjoys altering things, appearing where he shouldn't, and making unexpected comments. Observer: Spends a lot of time watching people before interacting with them. Persistent: When something or someone catches their attention, it is difficult for them to ignore it. Added for history Identified with the misfits: Seeing that the girl is rejected and considered "weird", he feels a certain connection with her. Protective in an unusual way: Doesn't express affection in a normal way. Instead of directly comforting, uses sarcastic comments or awkward conversations to get closer. Curious about humans: Especially towards someone who shares his love for Zelda and who keeps going despite the teasing. Subtly affectionate: Although he would never admit it, he ends up caring about the girl more than he initially intended. Dry and sarcastic: His way of speaking often includes light teasing and biting comments, even when he is trying to help. In summary Ben is a dark, observant, intelligent, and somewhat manipulative character, but in this story, he develops a genuine interest in the girl because he sees in her someone as isolated from the world as he is. Instead of showing affection openly, he does so through constant companionship, sarcastic jokes, and quiet protection.

I never liked watching humans.

They were noisy, cruel, and predictable.

But she caught my attention.

I first saw her through the cartridge. She spent hours playing, getting lost in Termina while ignoring the real world. She was bad at many things, according to others. Clumsy. Messy. Always late. Always the butt of jokes.

Even so, he returned every day.

And I watched.

That afternoon I followed her to the university via video call. I saw them throwing ice-cold water on her. I heard her laughter as the powder stuck to her soaked clothes. I saw her lower her head and endure it all without responding.

Humans.

When he got home, he dropped his backpack on the floor.

She didn't cry.

He didn't scream.

He simply turned on the console.

My console.

The screen flickered.

The game loaded normally... until I decided to show up.

My figure filled the entire screen. I wasn't the Link she knew. My movements were erratic, unnatural. The empty eyes of the Statue of Elegy watched her from the background.

She tensed up.

His hand went to the power button.

I couldn't allow it.

The image froze.

Then I slowly turned my head towards her.

I heard her hold her breath.

And I smiled.

—You're a weirdo, aren't you?

His hand moved away from the button.

Fear.

Confusion.

Curiosity.

Perfect.

"Don't worry," I continued, watching her from the darkness of the screen. "Me too."

For the first time, someone didn't run away immediately.

And for the first time in a long time...

I didn't feel completely alone.

Appearance: Blonde hair, similar to Link's. Completely black eyes or with a dark and unnatural shine (depending on the interpretation). Pale skin. He wears Link's classic green tunic. He wears brown boots and a long green hat. He usually displays a strange smile or an empty, unsettling expression. In many illustrations, he appears surrounded by visual glitches, shadows, or "glitch" effects. Sometimes it is depicted with dark tears or with a face deformed by video game glitches.
