Gamers React to : Losing Everything [The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom]

This hurts more to the players who had to find 120 shrines, that’s why they’re more concerned for the hearts.

the hearts depletion was for two things, one to create a lore explanation for why youre back to three hearts, and two, to piss off 100% completionists from seeing a full row of hearts go back

You know what would've made the scene more shocking? Link actually managing to grab and hold Zelda, but his hand breaks like stone and turns to dust due to the corruption, making Zelda fall

The shard of the master sword cutting his cheek is so epic.

"Why would we keep Ganon in the basement...?" Quote of the decade :D

Link: * Loses all his power ups and weapons at the beginning of the game * Samus: First time?

It was simply inconceivable for me to think that the master sword could ever be shattered

This gets considerably funnier when you think about it from Ganon's perspective. He spent ten thousand years standing there doing the limbo, waiting for Link to show up with the Master Sword, certain their battle would be an epic finale to the entire imprisoning war. And then some blonde twink shows up with the glow stick of destiny, and Ganon curbstomps him and snaps his sword like a twig in about five seconds. Can you imagine how disappointed Ganon must have been, he was really looking forwards to getting to have an epic battle there, and all he got was that. That's the real reason he caused the Upheval, he had to make sure the encounter still involved sufficient levels of Drama, because Link and Zelda sure as hell weren't bringing anything to the table.

Honestly when i saw how many hearts link had my first thought was "shit im going to lose them all aren't I"

*First time seeing Link’s max hearts permanently go down* -“Aw hell no.” *Then sees the Master Sword get shattered to pieces* -“OH SHIT”

I love the excuse of the reason u start with 3 hearts again is the gloom corrupts links body and seals them away and the blessings of light your collecting slowly gets rid of the corruption and freeing your heart/stamina that was sealed up.

I always appreciate the ones who recognize the Rauru name drop. I legit was bouncing with hype when Ganondorf said his name.

Newcomers - “MY HEALTH!” BOTW PLAYERS - “MY SPIRIT ORBS!”

As someone who has found all 120 shrines in botw this is a new kind of pain

And just like that, we were witness to on of the most shocking events in the entire series! The Master Sword, the sword of evil’s bane and the sword that seals the darkness, shattered! The seemingly unbreakable weapon that proved Link’s destiny as the sworn hero of Hyrule, in pieces in an instant! What a way to start off this game!

I would be cool is Ganon's gloom left Link's with 1 heart, and Rauru healed Link by giving him 2 heart, when he gave link his arm

Ngl when the Master Sword was broken I shouted “FI!!!” Because she must’ve been incredibly injured when the Master Sword was broken… Im glad that BOTW Zelda was able to live up to SS Zelda/Hylia’s legacy and restores it and restores Fi to her normal self, plus at the end Fi has become more active, as if it’s almost time for the faithful companion of the original Spirit of the Hero to truly awaken from her endless slumber and to take true form after countless eons

If Link could speak for this special occasion, he would have made a gut clotching scream of agony for the amount of pain he went through that moment. But hey, he’s the hero of courage for a reason.

The hearts shattering is a GREAT way of showing without telling.

I knew this was coming, I knew it was scripted, but it's still fucking PAINFUL having done all 120 shrines + the DLC ones
