Ocarina of Time 2D creator not dead?

Well, if it isn’t April Fools Day, it’s certainly a time for strange news. As reported on digg.com”>Digg and first broken by Squid News, it seems that Richard “Dampe” Denton, the creator of video game Ocarina of Time 2D, may not actually be dead.

The post on Squid News outlines a rather plausible account of fact-checking the events behind Dampe’s death. Furthermore, it seems his accounts on MSN and MySpace have remained active, which does indicate that someone’s using his accounts, at the very least.

Unfortunately, due to the timing of this news, we’re still calling this a rumor for now. It could just be a very bad joke, but it also could be an attempt of the developer to get away from the pressures of having to work on OoT2D. In either case, we’re hoping more evidence points to his being alive than dead, just so everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
