Over on the Tears of the Kingdom subReddit, a user named LokiTheZorua created a thread and called it the best death they’ve had so far, which quickly becomes apparent after watching the short clip. While exploring The Great Plateau, LokiTheZorua is in the middle ofworking through A Call from the Depths Side Adventure. After locating one of the eyes needed for the Bargainer Statue, they toss it into the Great Plateau East Chasm before diving in to chase after it.
Unfortunately, Link falls faster than the stone eye and as it begins ricocheting around, it flings into the falling Link, smashing him into the side wall where Gloom is waiting. As many in the comments could see coming, Link is nearly instantly killed while continuing to fall. Naturally, manyTears of the KingdomsubReddit users couldn’t help themselves to make pun jokes, while others tried to make sense of what happened. After some debate, many assumed it was a combination of the fall and collision that combined to take all of Link’s hearts rather than the gloom doing the work.
