Unveiling the Unforgettable Bubbulfrog Secret in Zelda's Tears of the Kingdom

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players have made a disturbing discovery about the game's Bubbulfrog enemies - they appear to be a fusion of multiple Blupees. This finding gives these monsters a more unsettling resemblance to creatures from Elden Ring rather than typical Nintendo game enemies, and it is something that players will find difficult to forget.

Released in May, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans. Set a few years after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the game follows Link's journey as he faces the return of Ganondorf and an unknown illness spreading throughout Hyrule. With the Master Sword broken and Zelda missing, Link must once again embark on an adventure to save the land from evil. This time, he possesses new powers and ancient Zonai technology, including the ability to manipulate physics objects and construct various structures and vehicles.

Unfortunately, it's not just inanimate objects that stick together. A fan of Tears of the Kingdom pointed out that Bubbulfrogs are actually faces of Blupees mashed together. The post by Reddit user One_Adhesiveness_586, also known as Saborou, shows a close-up of one of these frog-like enemies, confirming the resemblance. Upon closer inspection, the Bubbulfrogs are even more disturbing than Saborou's post suggests.

The Bubbulfrogs' true nature is revealed by the four glowing leaves on their heads, but that's not the only clue that gave it away. Technically, Tears of the Kingdom's Bubbulfrogs do have eyes. More precisely, they have eight eyes scattered around their faces, all having the same color as a Blupee's eyes. However, a closer look reveals that these eyes are actually the faces of four Blupees, two of which are upside down. This transforms the Bubbulfrog from a slimy amphibian to a creature that will haunt your nightmares.

The origin of these amphibious mutants remains unclear, but fans on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit have offered several potential explanations. Some suggest that the Bubbulfrogs could be corrupted Blupees, serving as a defensive mechanism to protect the Blupees. Others propose that they could be the result of another creature consuming Blupees. Since the Blupees in Tears of the Kingdom are portrayed as mystical creatures rather than natural beings, the possibilities are endless.

Nevertheless, Saborou's post appears to have changed the perception of Bubbulfrogs among some Tears of the Kingdom players. One commenter mentioned that it alleviates their guilt for killing Bubbulfrogs, as they had previously seen them as frightened animals rather than hostile monsters. On the other hand, another commenter felt sympathy for the Bubbulfrogs, while some players believe that eliminating them might actually be a mercy.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out now on Nintendo Switch.
