When i first saw the i was like WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT OH SHIT. also i did not know anything about the game excluding the little i knew and had played through cuz i watched nothing other than some trailer analysis vids on it
My first gloom hand was the one by the shrine that is kind of floating on a rock, on the way to Kakariko? Also, it’s funny because there are only technically 7 gloom hands in the WHOLE depths, 1 at each dark skeleton (3), one in Korok grove thing (4), one under the deku tree (5), one under Hyrule castle (6) and one underneath Tingle island? Made me much more confident exploring the depths. But just more scared of the over world 😱
My first gloom hand was in a cave found on my way to rito village for the first time. I didn’t have good items or equipment at the time( I had JUST gotten the paraglider from purah) and when those gloom hands sprang at me, my heart nearly stopped and teleported the hell out of there
My first gloom spawn encounter was on the castle citadel..i thought it would be safe to explore up there because malice was a thing of the past, but turns out. *It Wasn't.*
Made me wish they would've hid just one in some dark cave somewhere. Maybe drop 0-2 ancient blades, maybe a mossy or rusted texture since it's just been hidden away for a few years. That would've been cool
Some days I went around just farming guardians. "Beam Parry for you, and you and you." Now I run up the hills to the nearest tall tree like a big wuss crying until Grabby Hands gives up.
No it definitely is hard, I still don’t miss guardians though, guardians are still difficult, but nothing will ever beat the difficulty of gloom hands when they suck the life and stamina out of you
Plus you can usually avoid the guardians early on easily enough. You can spot them patrolling and keep away pretty well once you get used to them. Damn gloom hands can just pop up out of nowhere. Plus guardians didn’t grab your Ravali’s gale, while gloom hands grabbing my little bird boy avatar and squeezing him. Not ok!
There is no stage of progression in which I am not trying to strategies how to fight them just to end up panicking and swinging my weapons around wildly in attempts to not get grabbed 😂
@@tlo4sheelo They're the reason I keep Phantom Ganon set to my sensor. A little advanced warning before I make the decision whether or not to fight them goes a long way!
Fr fho 😭😭 I’ll stand there frozen staring at a particular patch like… “Are you… more textured than the rest? You gonna do something?” The paranoia is real
The worse thing is walking in what looks like a normal patch of land, and then turning the camera around to see the red goop just suddenly appear where you were a couple seconds ago
Both are easy to kill bur i feel like groom hand are easier sonce groom hands are anoying but pantomime ganon is so easy his attacks are slow and hes weaker than à feather 2 flurry rushes and hes ded While gardians are a little bit harder parry the light beam is harder than flurry rush gloom hands + phantom ganon and they were actually tanky
True. I encountered one in the depths and I had no idea what the hell was going but my mind just went into autopilot and started running and didn’t even look back. My heart was pounding louder than a gong. At least you can see guardians from far away and can hide behind cover and it’s easy to dodge lasers
Guardian music: slowly builds suspense Gloom music: Sends a alerting sound and builds suspense until eventually alerting your body to a overwhelming suspense of eery pain and reminds you of things that never should have happened
My reactions; Guardian music: WHERE!? Oh, I see you, EAT YOUR OWN LASER, FOOL! Gloom hands music: (always gets me while spelunking) *dread sets in* I need the high ground oh God! IM NOWHERE NEAR A LIGHTROOOOOT!

Accidentally running into a gloomhand inevitably makes you scream the first few times Edit: It also gets much, MUCH worse if you manage to kill the thing
Whenever you’re exploring BOTW or TOTK and you hear that sudden rush of music… If you don’t get a heart attack or scream I would think you were Wednesday’s Adams cousin

The gloom hands, like the guardians, are terrifying for new players but once you got a few tricks, they're easy to take down. Then that boss meter appears at the top of your screen.
Oo, for me there was basically no 'trick' for the Hands, you simply _had_ to get stronger and/or upgrade to better items/weapons (especially gathering elemental stuff) to take them on.
@@MMDelta9 Precisely: ''have to get stronger''. Lynels & Bomb Flowers are considered top tier weapons/enemies in Zelda!

I like to describe it like this; the guardian will spot YOU first 80% of the time, so the music startles you. When you fight them once or twice, they're not a hard enemy. The gloom hands can't spot you, but are also hard to spot. They are faster than you. They are stronger than you. They WILL catch you. Tl:DR, guardians startle, gloom hands invoke terror
Honestly, the gloom hands is easier in terms of surviving, The guardians would sprint towards you, literally release a beam able to one shot u mid game,AND THEY DO SPLASH DAMAGE! The only way to run from guardians was not let them notice u, they can ambush u tho.
@@xySuperManxy got stuck in a cave ill equipped and fought the ducks like the devil and was like gloom katana this is worthless then I got that tunic and a Lionel horn.
Yeah the guardian music is scary and they are strong but hearing the cut off symphony of screams echo around you as the world around fades to red. Then you see a ton of hands grasping at you and moving faster than you. You know it’s only a matter of time before they get you and the feeling of dread sets in. Your stamina is low and it’s making its way toward you faster than you can run. The amalgamation of hands rush towards you and in a fleeting rush of desperation you see a cliff. You decide to try and jump off to escape but the hands grab you just as you try to escape! All the while the echoed screams haunt you and the sky grows redder. you know your death is imminent… Suddenly you decide that you will not die today. You fight back and escape with your life but not for long. The hands continue to chase. You make to the cliff and jump! Finally as you plummet towards the ground the red haze dissipates you know inner peace. You release your pariglider and bask in the glory of your survival. Yet, there’s some part of you that knows this was just the beginning. You know, the hands will return…

Forget the debate over which is worse-combine them. Gloom-handed Guardians! They shoot you with lasers and grab you with gloom legs when they inevitably catch up to you. There you go!

@@Chara_Dreemurr1all the divine beasts were destroyed when the chasams arrived ganandorf wasn't taking an chances and maybe you should have a closer look at the skyview towers maybe you might recognises the arms that attach stuff to you when you first unlock them
Yeah replace some of its legs with gloom hands and have its body be all broken with holes that a hands coming out of them and its name gloom stalker (cuz guardians full name is guardian stalker) 😊
Link: *huff* Down to one heart, and the rest are sealed.... But at least the fights over. *Boss music plays* Phantom Ganon: Now, who was foolish enough to harm my babies? Link: Aw shit...
The Gloom Hands maybe a lot scarier than the Guardians but I honestly prefer the Guardian fights. You can get more experimental and prepare for them. The Gloom Hands just randomly show up and all you can really do is bomb them to death and then kill Phantom Ganon.
Or hear me out: a cobbled together Power Rangers styled amalgamation of all four divine beasts being puppeteered by a colossal, writhing mass of gloom using all four of the guardians' abilities against you
TotK’s team looked at Dead Hand’s general infamy amongst the LoZ community and really thought to themselves “Hey, what if we take this high octane nightmare fuel of a creature and make it even _more_ terrifying?”
Nah. Deadhand wasn't all that scary because the first one in the well was an optional fight and both deadhands are restricted to their dungeons plus they have a tell. These are in the overworld and you won't even know they're there until it's too late
The first time i saw those hands when i was trying to get to korok forest. As soon as the music started i frame 1 exited the game and booted up smash bros
The terrain makes all the difference with those things. Flat and open? Swig a speed potion and run for dear life. At least until you can get a lead on them? I got lucky once where I was up on a decent ledge in this cave... so I could bomb it to bits.
My first experience with this thing during my first play through was when i just so happened to be heading to rito village after coming off of the sky island. In the middle of Hyrule field. Ive played many horror games but nothing has given as much fear as those damn gloom hands.
I'd rather fight a guardian because they are easy to me now... Gloom hands are a random encounter and if you can kill them (unlikely) they spawn Phantom Ganon.
@@mallowwings974 what's a bomb flower? I have at all times. None because i can't find any. Also today I got Riju and Tulin. I am no going to focus on Sidon. Then after Sidon Yunobo. You can tell Tulin was meant to go first because his boss is so easy. YOU HAVE TO JUST FALL TO WIN! I FIRST TRIED IT! QUEEN GIBDO TOOK 20 TRIES!
The music from the guardian is scarier but the atmosphere and the enemy itself are scarier for the hands. Edit: its called having an opposing opinion. Disagreement is a thing. Both made me soil my pants (metaphorically) when I first encountered them.
I find the guardian music actually really nice😅it's just the first seconds that are scary as f***💀 The music of the hands actually kills me every time😭 it's too intense for my heart
The gloom spawn music is way creepier, pair it with the atmosphere and have someone experiance it for the first time with no knowledge of the gloom spawn and yeah, scared me shitless. I died to them the first time because I button mashed, saw link wasnt breaking free and was like "THIS ISNT WORKING" then died.
@@tinycoinfromholland1391 yes, and what is a guardian do play creepy piano music, gloom spawn, however has the power to change the sky and chase Link at a surprising speed
I actually miss the Guardians, now. At least they didn't become your worst nightmare out of nowhere, and become a LITERAL REPLICA OF THE MAIN ANTAGONIST.
Guardians were, looming intimidating, threats, that you knew needed extreme skill to beat, but you felt extremely great after beating one. I had to change my pants after my first encounter with Gloom Hands.
Actually having fought against both, gloom hands would still be my choice for a battle! They’re completely helpless against fire (pretty much 3 bomb flowers take care of them) and phantom Ganon dies to 2 flurry rushes with any royal weapon with a half decent attack (a royal halberd fused with black boko horn was more than enough for me). Guardians I struggled against because the parry timing I could never get right 😭 the only way I could take care of them was running like hell and chopping off the legs with a fully upgraded master sword.
Nothing spells fear like pleasantly wandering around, then the sky turns red & you realize its far too early for a blood moon & then the music starts 😭😭
The frantic piano from the Guardians will always make my heart jump, but the Gloom Hands music? It puts the fear of all gods and demons into my soul and makes me question whether or not simply jumping off the Great Plateau to my death is a bad option. Then I remember that I have a paraglider and I’m okay.
My first encounter with the gloom hands was at night. I thought it was a blood moon and had no idea what was happening until after I died, went back to the area, and finally saw them
Mine was great plateau, I was ready to throw hands, and then realized that it(they?) were not stopping. They grabbed me and I died cause I had like 4 hearts. Is there a way to fight them without getting grabbed. No spoilers I picked up the game like 2 days ago
@@thecyanpanda241 as far as I’m aware, probably just keeping your distance and shooting as many arrows as possible into the eyeballs. I haven’t worked up the courage to face it yet, plus I’ve had what happens with them spoiled for me already and I’m terrified.

I like Gloom Hands, but man, I miss having a heart attack whenever I heard that piano
Link: *huff* Down to one heart, and the rest are sealed.... But at least the fights over.
*Boss music plays*
Phantom Ganon: Now, who was foolish enough to harm my babies?
Link: Aw shit...
Every time I try to fight a gloom hand it just disappears.
Ancient arrows: am I a joke to you?
Breh i love how zelda never fails to make monsters that absolutely bring fear into your heart upon crossing paths
These totk animations are great please make more
Yeah for sure, I love making them, thanks man!
The Gloom Hands maybe a lot scarier than the Guardians but I honestly prefer the Guardian fights. You can get more experimental and prepare for them. The Gloom Hands just randomly show up and all you can really do is bomb them to death and then kill Phantom Ganon.
The full title of the creature: "The tiny lil red arm" of an enormous amalgamations of fear
Imagine if the final boss of the dlc was a gaurdian being puppeted by gloom hands
Now hear me out, what if, instead of it being a guardian, it was a dug up divine beast being puppeted by gloom hands
@@StormthepolterwolfNO
@@Stormthepolterwolf They're onto something... but holy shit bro o_o
@@StormthepolterwolfLET HIM COOK NOW
Or hear me out: a cobbled together Power Rangers styled amalgamation of all four divine beasts being puppeteered by a colossal, writhing mass of gloom using all four of the guardians' abilities against you
Oh there’s my pet Jerry. Don’t worry he’s just hungry
Everyone’s reaction to first seeing a gloom hand chase you
TotK’s team looked at Dead Hand’s general infamy amongst the LoZ community and really thought to themselves “Hey, what if we take this high octane nightmare fuel of a creature and make it even _more_ terrifying?”
all we need now is a dead hand general attached to the gloom hands,and then BAM,you're never gonna sleep until the day you die!
Nah. Deadhand wasn't all that scary because the first one in the well was an optional fight and both deadhands are restricted to their dungeons plus they have a tell. These are in the overworld and you won't even know they're there until it's too late
I kill them for a daré i did
I kiled 8 alredy

The first time i saw those hands when i was trying to get to korok forest. As soon as the music started i frame 1 exited the game and booted up smash bros
i first saw them in a cave.
I feel so bad for link he didn’t even know
This is the exact feeling when a guardian pops up
I was surprised by guardians first time seeing them with the intense piano,laser pointer and speed, but with the gloom hands I was genuinely scared
The terrain makes all the difference with those things.
Flat and open? Swig a speed potion and run for dear life. At least until you can get a lead on them?
I got lucky once where I was up on a decent ledge in this cave... so I could bomb it to bits.
I guess I appreciate that the gloom hands can't snipe you, but guardians were WAY easier to run away from
If a guardian tries to snipe you, Just zr and parry. If the gloom hands trys to touch you. Your fucked
Ah yes. I miss the days of paragliding through the air and seeing that laser hit me 😅
@@chanmarr8118 Evasive maneuvers, when the light disappears turn away
@legion6211 If the gloom hands appear, throw about 3 bombs at them. They're dead now. Guardians and gloom hands are not that hard.
@@legion6211well, you can just teleport to a shrine or tower. Done that more than id like because the grabby, gloomy hands
The EGH was personal
Perfect guard/ shield parry: am i a joke to you?!
link sounds so exited when he chooses the little tiny red army
My first experience with this thing during my first play through was when i just so happened to be heading to rito village after coming off of the sky island. In the middle of Hyrule field. Ive played many horror games but nothing has given as much fear as those damn gloom hands.
my first time encountering those was in a random ass field, i was walking, saw the gloom, thought it was just normal gloom, than it happened.
I had a mini panic attack when I found the gloom hands for the first time.
For the red arm, he thought it would just be one arm that could be easy to defeat with a sword.
I still think that when you first fight a guardian was the most terrifying thing you can experience in a video game.
All I know is in both games my first reaction was NOPE (teleports)
i feel like meeting gllom hands for the first time is worst
I'd rather fight a guardian because they are easy to me now... Gloom hands are a random encounter and if you can kill them (unlikely) they spawn Phantom Ganon.
@@Chara_Dreemurr1 if you have bomb flowers they *could* be easy to defeat but my wimp brain says NOOOOOO
@@mallowwings974 what's a bomb flower? I have at all times. None because i can't find any. Also today I got Riju and Tulin. I am no going to focus on Sidon. Then after Sidon Yunobo. You can tell Tulin was meant to go first because his boss is so easy. YOU HAVE TO JUST FALL TO WIN! I FIRST TRIED IT! QUEEN GIBDO TOOK 20 TRIES!
I got to give props to Nintendo for introducing a wicked presence vibe with this enemy introduction.
Plus a twist after killing it too.
The first time I stumbled across a gloom hand I was like
*OH GOD FLOOR MASTERS*
Guardian strike more fear with the music but gloom hands you see them and if you don't get The high ground soon you know you're dead
The music from the guardian is scarier but the atmosphere and the enemy itself are scarier for the hands.
Edit: its called having an opposing opinion. Disagreement is a thing. Both made me soil my pants (metaphorically) when I first encountered them.
I find the guardian music actually really nice😅it's just the first seconds that are scary as f***💀
The music of the hands actually kills me every time😭 it's too intense for my heart
The guardian music used to frighten me but now its like an old friend
No way, The Gloom Hand music is definitely much more scary I like for the beginning I just sound like hell is about to go on leash
The gloom spawn music is way creepier, pair it with the atmosphere and have someone experiance it for the first time with no knowledge of the gloom spawn and yeah, scared me shitless.
I died to them the first time because I button mashed, saw link wasnt breaking free and was like "THIS ISNT WORKING" then died.
@@tinycoinfromholland1391 yes, and what is a guardian do play creepy piano music, gloom spawn, however has the power to change the sky and chase Link at a surprising speed
I actually miss the Guardians, now. At least they didn't become your worst nightmare out of nowhere, and become a LITERAL REPLICA OF THE MAIN ANTAGONIST.
Same
I love this so much!🤣 I enjoy the gloom hands they are the best part honestly. thrilling surprising and deadly
The fact that they grabbed me when I tried to jump off a cliff from them has scarred meeee
Guardians you can usually tell when one is around. Gloom hands will just pop out of no where and already be attacking you.
I still don't understand how they made something more terrifying than a bigass spider robot barreling it's way towards you
At least i aint getting lasered outta the sky trying to glide past a field
I like the gloom hands music :D
Guardians were, looming intimidating, threats, that you knew needed extreme skill to beat, but you felt extremely great after beating one.
I had to change my pants after my first encounter with Gloom Hands.
At least gardians warned us before strike ☠️.
Actually having fought against both, gloom hands would still be my choice for a battle! They’re completely helpless against fire (pretty much 3 bomb flowers take care of them) and phantom Ganon dies to 2 flurry rushes with any royal weapon with a half decent attack (a royal halberd fused with black boko horn was more than enough for me). Guardians I struggled against because the parry timing I could never get right 😭 the only way I could take care of them was running like hell and chopping off the legs with a fully upgraded master sword.
Nothing spells fear like pleasantly wandering around, then the sky turns red & you realize its far too early for a blood moon & then the music starts 😭😭
Gaurdians scare me so much because of the laser sfx and the music makes me panick
The frantic piano from the Guardians will always make my heart jump, but the Gloom Hands music? It puts the fear of all gods and demons into my soul and makes me question whether or not simply jumping off the Great Plateau to my death is a bad option. Then I remember that I have a paraglider and I’m okay.
My first encounter with the gloom hands was at night. I thought it was a blood moon and had no idea what was happening until after I died, went back to the area, and finally saw them
Mine was great plateau, I was ready to throw hands, and then realized that it(they?) were not stopping. They grabbed me and I died cause I had like 4 hearts. Is there a way to fight them without getting grabbed. No spoilers I picked up the game like 2 days ago
@@thecyanpanda241 as far as I’m aware, probably just keeping your distance and shooting as many arrows as possible into the eyeballs. I haven’t worked up the courage to face it yet, plus I’ve had what happens with them spoiled for me already and I’m terrified.
@@SeraliaAerials I'll try killing it from the high ground, but idk if I can outrun it, I'll try fire and maybe a sundelion cause sundelions purify gloom effects
The good news is that most of them will simply get bored and leave if you stay up out of their reach for long enough
Yeah iirc only the Deku Tree one won't do this but that's due to it being directly tied to a main quest
@@tanandalynch9441bro i fought those things with 5 hearts and 9 arrows. Do not recommend🤦♀️
Guardians be like * pew pew pew *
Gloom hands be like * corrupt you *
Phantom ganon:DONT FORGET ABOUTTTTTTT MEEEE
His innocent "Hyuh!" I can't 😭 Poor boi didn't know 😔 Link needs a hero to safe him 😭
