While venturing through the Great Plateau and undertaking a side quest in the game Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a player experiences a fatal accident when one of their quest items accidentally strikes them, resulting in Link's untimely demise. Despite reusing much of the original Breath of the Wild map, Tears of the Kingdom introduces numerous updates to various areas of the game, reflecting the passage of time and the current challenges faced by the region.
Furthermore, Tears of the Kingdom expands the realm of Hyrule into the skies, introducing new islands for exploration, as well as an expansive underground territory called the Depths. Unlike the surface, the Depths pose significant dangers due to the pervasive gloom that shrouds everything, necessitating the discovery of Lightroots to illuminate the darkness. Additionally, players must navigate specific passages in Hyrule, risking their lives during the arduous plunge into the treacherous Depths, as one player painfully discovers.
On the Tears of the Kingdom subReddit, a user named LokiTheZorua shared a captivating experience titled "The Best Death I've Had." In a short clip, it becomes evident why this title was chosen. While exploring The Great Plateau, LokiTheZorua was engrossed in the A Call from the Depths Side Adventure. During their quest, they discovered one of the necessary eyes for the Bargainer Statue. Without hesitation, they hurled the eye into the Great Plateau East Chasm and dove in after it.
To their dismay, Link descended faster than the stone eye, resulting in a chaotic trajectory. The eye careened off the surroundings and struck Link mid-fall, forcefully pushing him into the side wall where Gloom awaited. As anticipated by some commenters, Link's demise was almost instantaneous. Many users on the Tears of the Kingdom subReddit couldn't resist making pun jokes, while others attempted to decipher the sequence of events. After much discussion, it was generally agreed upon that the combination of the fall and the collision depleted all of Link's hearts, with the gloom potentially playing a minor role.
Players have been actively exploring and testing the various systems in Tears of the Kingdom since its release in May. This has sparked creativity among players who have been sharing their innovative inventions and exciting gameplay moments. One recent revelation is that Zelda players can control vehicles even without a Zonai Steering Stick device. With a vast and immersive world to discover, along with special abilities like Ultrahand, it is evident that players will continue to uncover new content and share their findings for a long time to come.
