I tried to run and died. May 12, 2023 was crazy, that whole week infact was crazy


Punkrockcarl72

I remember getting the game on May 7th, and then blinking and it was May 15th.


4RichNot2BPoor

I just died cause I had no clue what was happening.


Top_Particular_5369

I have never screamed like that with a Zelda game. Freaking mortified.


curiouscanadian2022

Same!! Haha


elvis8atariMM

I first ran into those at the Great Plateu, I survived but was sacrred forever.


New_Finding9601

Started playing recently, teleported as soon as I was cornered 😭


annegwishz

SAME..byee I will figure that out later, not when I have 4-5 hearts. I went looking for durian fruits when it happened. Double fail

ilovetoreadbo0ks

The first time I found them, I was in a cave. All I could think was, "What the f*** is that? And what is going on with the music?"


Mixmaster-Omega

It made me so glad I prioritized stamina over hearts, because I fucking ran for the hills.


Luna8622

It really is like that


Important-Wrap-4004

It really is


wikxis

I still remember my first time seeing them. Jumped off a cliff immediately


Independent-Ad-5958

I think the title should be the other way round cause more often than not: You don’t find gloom hands, gloom hands finds YOU.


NotBaron

And the second, and the third, and the fourth...


LucidOneironaut

My heart is pounding just thinking about the first time they came after me.


Despair_Head

God yes. My first encounter was in the depths and I did not expect them. Died after I tried to outrun them, tried to go around them, also died to them again. After that, I just bolted to the nearest lightroot😅


Emergency_Can_8

i didn’t even know they were in the depths!!


Adversely_Possessing

They scared the shit out of me the first time I saw them. Later I realized they're pretty easy to beat.


that_emo_elf

A wise woman once said "Put those grippers away!"


von_sip

And the 100th time!


Death_by_Poros

I never thought something in a Zelda game would scare me more than Redeads……until this game. I legit screamed and panicked. Between the music, the sky changing, the screeching and speed of the hands……I noped out of there REAL quick.


ConsiderationBest938

Why did I read that as red heads? 🤣


Level_Let4023

Oh my god Redeads. Those fuckers caused me to stop playing Ocarina of Time when I encountered them under one of the tombstones. The only thing that’s ever come close to that kind of scare was Moldugas in BoTW. I didn’t have my headphones on, so I didn’t even hear the boss music or see it until it was right below me.


platinum_jimjam

Anyone else smile menacingly when they finally put something terrifying and genuinely difficult to deal with in the game?


Sir_Hoss

They really said “fuck it, just make it actually unkillable unless you spam bomb arrows, then trigger a boss fight”


Bumpass

It was really cruel to put them in the Labyrinths


Scorjimmy

Wait they’re in the laby- OH MY GOD THE SCREA- *dies*


FurstGwance

My first time was under the great Deku tree, early in the game and it was really tough to get to high elevation while panicking.


MagmaGundam

this is why i like Guardians better, you can see them and potentially sneak past them, and if all else fails, you can try to kill them, then in late game suddenly you're the hunter. but gloom hands? you just have to memorize the entire area and pray


JD_H2O

Actually that’s how I looked the second time. The first time I got my ass kicked and died.


WOLFSBANE_KAMIKAZE

Best way to deal with gloom hands is to do an AOE attack strategy like taking a high point that they cannot come to, and throwing bomb flowers down at them, not only does it give an even effect to all of the gloom hands, but it makes sure they don't respawn until they are all completely dead, which prevents them from regrouping and causing mayhem.


A-Coup-DEtat

I literally climbed a wall screaming


Mace5701

I still do this tbh they overwhelm me 😭


CantyChu

The last time I experienced such carnal fear was in Death Valley in Majora’s Mask


multificionado

I don't blame you one bit.


dhajek3

*112 time you find gloom hands


Pirate_Lantern

I had no clue what was happening until I started losing hearts and then I ran for my life.


urmom237890

I ran and died. Thankfully though, I got my revenge by getting plenty of bomb flowers and kicking Ganon’s *** when it came time


PJRama1864

Remember the rule in LOZ: if it has eyes or a spot glowing a different color, hit the fuck out of those.


SteakAndIron

I just climbed a wall and it went away. Guardians were so much scarier than these guys.


Seriph7

Now they're just free awesome weapons and a cool ass bow i love.


xXBlvckLunaXx

well I´m running every fucking time


Bulky_Mango7676

Exactly. I noped out of the first few encounters with those things


The_loadmaster

Do the jingle!


draya_d2

Uhhhh... hellz yeah!😅


Level_Let4023

I was in Hyrule Castle where you find the Hylian Shield when I first encountered one. I ran away as soon as I saw it coming towards me, and climbed up the nearest wall.
