Finding explorable wells in TOTK makes me nervous after what happened last time there was one in the series.

I know most of the folks playing OoT now are adults but when that game came out it was marketed to young children. Like I need you to understand that it won the 1999 Kids Choice Award for Favorite Video Game alongside Yoshi's Story.

This one.

Imagine impa looking through the lens of truth at Timmie and seeing a whole ass teenage Hylian covered in magic scars from wearing the fierce deity mask, and Majoras mark from the attacks that hit.

Terrible news The Shadows of Hylia threw the lens down a well because it was seen as extremely dangerous for laymen to learn how to see through magic without going through years of training and Timie was never effected in any way by Fierce (yall don't get fierce deity markings) 😔

FARORE HOWEVER

Strange happenings in Pikarigaoka were nothing new, obviously. The town was one of the many centers of Precure activity in the world, to the point where Saiark attacks were at the very least a weekly occurrence. The Happiness Charge team had just gone through one of these song and dance routines when the air grew unseasonably cold, dark clouds rolled in above them, and the color drained from the world around them, leaving Pikarigaoka a bleak, monochrome version of itself that almost looked frozen in time.

A sound like a church bell rang out, then a loud snap as a figure appeared atop a nearby lamppost, perched atop it as if they were a bird. A white cape billowed out behind them in the chill wind, a tarnished breastplate gleamed a dull gunmetal gray over a deep blue tunic, and two silver bands looped around their waist at intersecting angles, one of which held some sort of box that rested on their left hip.

Most striking, though, were the bandages covering almost all of their face, save their right eye, which was fixed on one member of the team in particular and seemed to not even see the rest. The figure lifted a black-gloved hand and pointed directly at their apparent target.

"Found. You. Mizuno. Tsubasa." Their voice was odd and halting, like the ticking of an old clock. "I. Came. For. You."

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ENTRENCE TO GERUDO DESERT‼️💀 (HAS PASSED BY IT)

[adrift-in-thyme]

Okay, okay, here me out, (even tho this won’t make sense with the Zelda timeline) the chain fights the dead hand thing (idk anything about the oot game except for the main parts of the story lol) sorry if this is a stupid idea.

That’s not a stupid idea at all!! In fact, I’ve been wanting to write something with the Chain encountering a dead hand, and have already planned out a Whumptober day for that purpose.

VRAK DEADHAND, EMBODYING THE VRAK-SENAL!

Vrak Deadhand. Exiled Demon Hunter of DISMALIA. Becoming an Arsenal for extensive hunts. Don't let his size fool you. He can jump awful high and will gouge the eyes of any towering Demon, before impaling them right in the throat. Heads will roll & hearts shall explode! His most peculiar weapon is the ornate falchion at his waist, which is more of a charm of confidence than a proper weapon. ...

Gloomhands or Guardians?

Warning, some spoilers for TOTK (no major story spoilers)

The gloomhands/floormasters are the new 'Guardians' of TOTK, but are they better or worse? More terrifying or less?

Most players can remember the dread of hearing the iconic piano cords followed by the red laser of botw's guardians. The sheer speed and size of the guardians is intimidating enough early game for players to entirely avoid them. Of course, eventually most players will hunt guardians for sport and they lose all fear and power. This goes the same for all of hyrule's nastier monsters...Lynels, Gleeoks, etc...

With guardians notable lack of appearance in totk, the question is, are gloomhands more or less effective?

Gloomhands spawn in seemingly random (but scripted) locations within the depths and hyrule. They typically appear in the corner of the screen or otherwise off center, having an entirely silent entrance until they inevitably spot you. They unleash a hallowing screech as they begin to chase after you. The music becomes inverted, the sky turns red...there is no blood moon. You begin running to learn that they can run just as fast as you.

There is no hope.

If you stick around long enough without dying, eventually they'll leave...dropping dark matter.

The player is left confused, perhaps thinking it was daylight that "killed" them? There are no definite answers. It does not even have a hyrule compendium entry.

If you truly uphold the triforce of courage and decide to take them down, if successful, your reward comes as a punishment.

Guardians meanwhile are far more predictable, you know where they're concentrated and where to avoid. You can typically spot them from quite a distance. The battle is straight forward and you get a instant reward.

OR basically:

Guardians: visible, predictable, more like a mini-boss.

Gloomhands: mythical, unpredictable, fucking terrifying.

I mean people have already learned how to cheese the gloomhands (ledge + dazzle fruit and bomb arrows) but i don't think the follow up is quite understood. Eventually, they might be like the guardians in the "hunting for sport" sense. But maybe. Just maybe. they'll hold the same type of fear and unease like that enveloping Oot's Deadhand.
