The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features exhilarating boss battles, with some of the most imaginative ones in the series thus far. As with previous Zelda games, players will face off against Ganon, or different versions of him, in some of the most memorable boss fights. Towards the end of the game, Link will confront various forms of Ganon multiple times, including the formidable Phantom Ganon.

What sets Phantom Ganon apart is that players must confront him during the Crisis at Hyrule Castle quest, but they may also encounter him in other parts of the game world. Phantom Ganon possesses a unique ability to spread gloom, a toxic substance that can harm Link and impede his healing process. Reddit user Imadurozan discovered that if players attempt to evade Phantom Ganon during one of these encounters, he will extend the reach of his gloom, searching the entire area for Link.

Phantom Ganon's ability to cast gloom over the Akala Citadel Ruins was showcased in a Reddit clip. Surprisingly, many Tears of the Kingdom players were unaware of this power, judging from the reactions to the post. It appears that most players engage in direct combat with Phantom Ganon, either succeeding or perishing, thereby missing out on witnessing this unique ability.

The fact that someone could play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for 300 hours and still encounter unseen elements is a true testament to the game's vastness. Despite devoting significant time to the open world adventure, players continue to make unexpected discoveries, which will likely be shared online in the future.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has broken sales records and is expected to have long-lasting popularity, attracting new players for months or even years to come. It will be fascinating to witness the discoveries made by the community as they explore this incredibly vast world crafted by Nintendo.

The highly-anticipated game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
