Community:April Fools' Pranks
In the April 2005 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, EGM decided to pull an April Fools day joke. They ran a small article stating that you get a new version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker when you reserved a copy of Twilight Princess. This new version was supposed to be totally remade with the same graphics engine as the Twilight Princess.
This was, of course, a fake article. The picture was photoshopped. You can tell because the screenshot was missing a few crucial details.
The next issue included a few letters from angry readers along with a confused reader the following month. Online, you could fine lots of stories about people who actually believed. Congratulations EGM! You got us!
