Can you imagine if they made a DLC and you find a cave with decayed guardians that never got dismantled. You make your way deeper and deeper, and right at the end, this music starts playing.
As you can walk through the darkness of the cave, it transitions into a cutscene and link turns around to see gloom hands take over the body of a guardian and the health bar appears on the top of the screen and it says “ gloom guardian (the sheikah and malice incarnate).
ok, the music is stellar, but can we just talk about how amazing the art is as well, the idea of a decayed guardian getting it's spider legs back by fusing with gloom hands and sprinting at you even more quickly than in botw, while being able to grab you and make it impossible to avoid getting lasered is absolutely terrifying
the most terrifying part would be the fact you CAN'T HEAL. you won't be able to heal in the depths once you are away from a light root (without copius amounts of sunny dishes) and i doubt something as terrifying as this would spawn next to a light root.
I’m surprised Nintendo didn’t do this in tears of the kingdom because it would bring back those Botw flashbacks while terrifying you with the screams of the gloom hands.
like fr... they almost pretended everything 'ancient' didn't exist! there's still plenty of examples but even the remotest guardian shells vanished without a trace
@@Shnarfbird yeah I agree, the worst examples are the towers. They took down all these towers that all had map data just to make there own that serve the exact same purpose but not only less efficient but also….. THERE MADE WITH THE SAME TECH.
You know what would make it more scarier? That they grab you, then they will start preparing the laser to shoot you while they are grabbing you with their hands Edit: they can walk like a spider even on the roof they can also glitch out since you know they are old and they are being controlled by malice
I could see that as a Boss fight mechanic, the Guardian part not fully focused trying to lazer you whiles the Gloom Hands hold you and as they hold you and the Guardian trying to find and shoot you, you pull out a bow and shoot it in the Eye
Ganon replaced the soul power feeding the guardians with Malice in the first game, so why not just double the input of gloom/malice and control some arms on it?
The scariest part to me is the lack of warning and just hearing the shriek of the monster. If you are not near an elevated surface then you are in for a shitty time.
@@LuvBoxii unless it's a similar situation to a sandstorm in Gerudo Desert back in Botw since you couldn't fast travel there, so if this was an actual boss then it could be located in a place where you just couldn't fast travel, which would be really terrifying if you ask me.
I was LITERALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT THE SCREECH. I remember walking on the Hyrule castle grounds, heard the screech and said “Dear God where is that thing??”
Genuinely got goosebumps listening to this. Imagine you're on great plateau tower and you see this scuttling up the side at 50mph shooting gloom beams at you
Imagine an area in the depths called the "Shiekah Tech Dump" or something along those lines. As you venture further into this maze of a junkyard, you find items such as the ancient arrow head and other great gear. On your way out, an old, broken guardian head rolls out of the pile in front of you. A gloom hand rushes out of said pile, dragging the corpse of the guardian out with it. The gloom hand screws the head of the guardian back on, activating it and several other gloom hands shoot out of the bottom, where the legs used to be. A health bar appears on your screen. "Scourge of Hyrule Kingdom, Gloom Guardian" (or smthing) It screeches and takes aim, the combination of shiekah tech and gloom interfere with your purah pad, having a similar effect to the sandstorm in gerudo desert. You try to run, but this thing is faster than anything you've faced yet. Using prior knowledge of the gloom spawn, you climb up high, but this is no gloom spawn. Instead of appearing out of the ground, the arms come from the guardian itself allowing it to climb. Even an incredibly powerful weapon (like a silver Lynnwood horn with a royal guard claymore) seems to be practically ineffective. If the gloom infused laser misses you, it will explode and splatter gloom everywhere around it. However if you get hit, it will deal tremendous damage (even full heart containers is similar to just a few) it will also permagloom one of your hearts (which could be bought from bargainer or horned statues) or can also grab and shoot you, which at such close range is fatal unless you escape (or are at full health as you can't die if you are) of you manage to kill the arms, the second phase will initiate. Phantom Ganon bursts out of the guardian shell and no longer has the traditional gloom weapons, but wields a seemingly shiekah blade with a scythe (similar to silver lizalfos horns) fused on top. With this weapon, phantom Ganon is able to use it like all 3 weapon types. After the phantom Ganon fight, he drops the scythe topping as a material for fusing. It would have the most fuse attack power in the game. Also probably some special thing. This enemy is not Ganons doing. It will not respawn after a blood moon as Ganon has no control over it. After a blood moon, only normal gloom hands would spawn here.
A gloom possessed spider guardian with gloom hands popping out from everywhere. Once it catches you, it starts charging up to fire at you. You have to immobilize it AND defeat the gloom hands to "kill" it. Once it is "dead" a phantom Ganon with ancient weapons pops out. Best of luck
Okay, but Imagine this: You take out the legs, thinking you immobilized it, but then two more legs sprout out, along with arms, and now you have to deal with a humanoid guardian (b/c phantom ganon) edit: holy crap i come back like a year later and this thing has EXPLODED
Pretty good mixing the pieces together, however the gloom spawn theme is very dissonant and quiet and uneasy whereas the guardian theme is not dissonant, very fast and in your face. These pieces are polar opposites, I am surprised you made it sound that good!
And if it got defeated it will spawn a Phantom Ganon that starts to fuse with multiple Guardians, creating a Superior Form of Calamity Ganon, being Cataclysm Ganon
Gloom Stalker. The body would just be the husk of a Guardian that the Gloom found and took over, there would probably just be one, like the one on top of the laboratory
They could've added a thing where you encounter a lone malice guardian in one of the labyrinths, thinking "wait, theres still guardians in totk? No problem" and then it starts having a seizure and gets overtaken by gloom instead, and transforms into this. You kill the guardian, the hands are still there, you kill the hands, phantom ganon appears.
They should just make the next Zelda game a full on horror game, with this as one of the enemies. Just imagine the pure fear in every Zelda fan's eyes when encountering one of these.
If you're feeling extra spicy, add in the Ocarina of Time Redeads with their chilling scream and make the moon look eerily similar to the Majora's Mask moon and add in a cutscene of the Skull Kid being briefly seen before running off to add to the fear of the Moon possibly going to crush the planet again.
@@zero9435 It would definitely fit with their motif of bringing back old enemies with new mechanics. I doubt they'd use guardians again, but I can't wait to see what they do with the DLC
The depths would be not only more terrifying but more paranormal.. just imagine 6-7 Leftover guardians are just wondering around aimlessly at the Depths. You never know if there’s a guardian behind or towards you. You just know it’s there.
1:12 was probably my favorite part, as it slowed down the Guardian Battle theme and added in the creepiness of the Gloom Hands. And the reversed hums made by people just made this even better.
I could imagine it would look like the guardians that are in the ground from BOTW but when approached gloom would surround it and make it burst from the ground covering the broken guardian in its own gloom and the hands would rapidly make their way to you working like its legs *(and like a comment said the hands would grab you while target locking a laser on you)* And when you hit the guardian in the eye to stun it a few times it would work like a hinox, the hands will start to cover the guardians eye if you try to take aim again.
The idea of it looking like a dead guardian then popping up to ambush you reminds me a bit of the giant crab monsters in Dredge! The gloom in TotK looking like the Panic in Dredge really adds to it too!
i love how like. inevitable this hypothetical enemy feels from this music. like the slow paced but frantic feel of the music. it’s slow, lumbering towards you yet there’s no running. it *will* find you. there’s no escape
a familiar glare pierces the darkness of the depths... suddenly, a reticle appears over your heart, the thing,nay, the monster, that it is connected to gradually marching closer... YOUR FATE IS SEALED.
(The story cuts to link, feeling a disturbance at the sealed off shrine of ressurection.) *Link has a vision of Zelda as he brushes his arm along the door* Link... I had hoped you would never find this place... Ganondorf, when experimenting with his new powers, created monsters, many of which were ungodly... Fusing Shikah technology with his newfound power, created a creature that I fear... would be the last one you meet... So, with the last of my strength, I sealed the beast away in the shrine of resurrection, in hopes to contain it, so that you shall never cross paths with it... *Link exits the Vision* Link: Grunts in confusion/curiosity. *Link brushes his arm up against the doors of the shrine* Door: *Glows bright blue, being overtaken by a dark red, with gloom oozing out of it.* (Suddenly... familiar beeping noises with a red laser points at link.) *Gloom hands sprout out of the darkness and grab hold of link* (Finally, with a closer look... Link trembles in fear... the gloom guardian, has awoken...) *Blast!* *Queue Game Over Screen*
It would be cool if this was a thing, just seeing a powered down guardian and you think to yourself “oh, so they didn’t all just vanish” and you approach it and then it powers on but gloom begins seeping out of it, drenching the legs and turning the lights from the reddish-pink of malice to the blood red of gloom, the gloom spawn takes form as the guardian’s legs and you shit your pants
Hypothetically Speaking: If Nintendo was to make a BoTW 3, what nightmare fuel enemy (akin to the Guardian or Gloom Hands) do you think they would add to keep us on our toes?
Maybe a normal enemy that appears to be normal but once you kill it gloom/malice sprouts out of its body and consumes the entire enemy camp and all the enemies nearby and acts as a fusion of enemies with things like bokoblin arms attached to it and lizalfo arms. Worst part is that they don't have set spawn areas an maybe every 300 enemies killed one will spawn or just make it happen randomly. And make it chase you down like the gloom hands. And guarantee the next night will be a blood moon.
Instead of that lynel in glooms approach , imagine a solitary decyaed guradian ,you jump down and a cut scene begins with THAT coming for you??? Terrified bro terrified
BOTW guardians were terrifying at first, but they quickly become pushovers once you figure out the shield parry timing. Gloom hands are pure terror. Nintendo really trolled us by making them faster than the player so you can't even run away
ooh, i like the 'short break' in the music to just have Guardian Whirring sounds...it almost feels like trying to run away from this "Gloom Guardian"-- maybe for just a split-second, you broke Line-Of-Sight (maybe you ran past a tree or something) so it has to take a moment to re-acquire a Target...
I love the concept of this, just finding one of those broken nonfuntional guardians like in BotW, and then it starts moving but its legs are replaced by the hands
I imagine that the decayed guardian from hateno is found by a set of hands and the way it walks is by the hands clawing and dragging the forcefully active corpse of the guardian and his t might attack you by grabbing and draining your health while also firing the laser point blank.
I wish that they used the "Sheikah Technology sunk into the dephts" excuse that they gave on an interview to make something like this. Imagine if in the dephts we had an alternative version of the Gloom Hand fused with BOTW's Guardians? And these enemies were more common(like Guardians were in Botw) This would be awesome.
The only thing that could make this any more horrifying is if the guardian head stretched off of its body, revealing a gloom neck covered in eyes that spread shoots lasers. Just picture the demonic Thomas the tank engine, and you will understand what I mean.
A guardian with gloom hands is something I was not planning on seeing today and honestly could have gone without. Also the music made me think someone was staring at me thru the window.
Yoo thats sounds so sick i wish nintendo made totk gaurdians infected with the gloom and gloom hands and the divine beasts would be exactly like the corrupted gaurdians but attacking the people from the citys that would be so wow.
or, hear me out here, the divine beasts would be in pieces, and then, all of a sudden, the pieces come together via gloom and form this monstrous divine beast amalgamation with the secondary (aka the elemental) abilities of all the divine beasts, good luck fighting that! :)

And guarantee the next night will be a blood moon.
@@nathanpfirman625 That would be nightmare fuel... I love it
oh crap@@nathanpfirman625
Instead of that lynel in glooms approach , imagine a solitary decyaed guradian ,you jump down and a cut scene begins with THAT coming for you??? Terrified bro terrified
BOTW guardians were terrifying at first, but they quickly become pushovers once you figure out the shield parry timing.
Gloom hands are pure terror. Nintendo really trolled us by making them faster than the player so you can't even run away
ooh, i like the 'short break' in the music to just have Guardian Whirring sounds...it almost feels like trying to run away from this "Gloom Guardian"-- maybe for just a split-second, you broke Line-Of-Sight (maybe you ran past a tree or something) so it has to take a moment to re-acquire a Target...
This is genuinely unsettling, thank you
holy shit this is actually terrifying
but this is also mixed perfectly and the two themes go together really well
thanks for making this monstrosity💀
ok but this picture is pure nightmare fuel.
everyone thats ever had and has anxiety put into one song
this sounds kind of cool someone should make a remix based on this
Imagine a gloom hand grabbing you. Once you think things cant get worse, a guardian is pointing a laser at you
That's more terrifying than frox munching me 😂
i cant hear the guardian theme normally anymore because i use it as my alarm sound 😭
Man I can’t even lie if I had that as my alarm sound I’d wake up GROOVIN
@@360genius5 its scary dawg
That’s a great way to stop skipping alarms!
Same
that’s got to be better than coffee omfg
I love the concept of this, just finding one of those broken nonfuntional guardians like in BotW, and then it starts moving but its legs are replaced by the hands
The forgotten abomination
The gloom guardian
Guardians posessed by gloom spawn seems like an Age of Calamity enemy
Yeah, AoC’s Malice Guardians are pretty close to this concept.
I imagine that the decayed guardian from hateno is found by a set of hands and the way it walks is by the hands clawing and dragging the forcefully active corpse of the guardian and his t might attack you by grabbing and draining your health while also firing the laser point blank.
This is great. It captures the dissonance of both songs really well and instills the same fear as my first encounters with both of these horrors.
it's literally insane and brilliant how you managed to make the guardian theme even more horrifying than it already was
I'm terrified of you. The concept is absolutely incredible as an artist and musician though.
This is so cursed in the best ways possible
I was gonna attempt this but yours sounds so good ion even want to no more😂
The beginning goes so F*cking hard, gotta give some credits to this man👏
I wish that they used the "Sheikah Technology sunk into the dephts" excuse that they gave on an interview to make something like this.
Imagine if in the dephts we had an alternative version of the Gloom Hand fused with BOTW's Guardians? And these enemies were more common(like Guardians were in Botw)
This would be awesome.
Every once in a while I'll come back to this video just to remind myself that there's scarier things in the world than whatever my woes are...
associate surely the two most terrifying video game themes there is.... pure genius
One thing scarier than redeads…two stress builders combined makes the ultimate stress builder…
This is the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to make the most terrifying bossfight in video game history
This sent not one but several shivers down my spine. Like actually.
Behold! My nightmare *hears boss music*
The only thing that could make this any more horrifying is if the guardian head stretched off of its body, revealing a gloom neck covered in eyes that spread shoots lasers. Just picture the demonic Thomas the tank engine, and you will understand what I mean.
You mean Choo Choo Charles?
@@TinySwanGrandAdventures Yes.
THIS ACTIVATED MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT
This actually works
If this ever happens I will have a heart and panic attack, and hyperventilate.
I like how this just inspired the entire comment section into fan-made horrors beyond comprehension
*laughs in puffshrooms and depths armor
I feel like the guardian has some sort of infared so the puffshrooms are useless
im fucking uncomfortable this is amazing
gonna find a way to wind-bomb again just so i have a fast getaway if this ever happens in the DLC :)
Attach a rocket to your shield and tulin cancel. Same thing
same thing just no chiropractor for me@@dravendarkplays9607
A guardian with gloom hands is something I was not planning on seeing today and honestly could have gone without. Also the music made me think someone was staring at me thru the window.
THIS IS SICK- They're so different, yet they work so well together! I never would have thought of doing this.
Yoo thats sounds so sick i wish nintendo made totk gaurdians infected with the gloom and gloom hands and the divine beasts would be exactly like the corrupted gaurdians but attacking the people from the citys that would be so wow.
Thanks so much for the like and shout out 360 genius I appreciate it 👍
Well they tell "for now" the game not have dlc probably they think in the master mode honestly the game with the combination the game is easy
or, hear me out here, the divine beasts would be in pieces, and then, all of a sudden, the pieces come together via gloom and form this monstrous divine beast amalgamation with the secondary (aka the elemental) abilities of all the divine beasts, good luck fighting that! :)
Gloom Guardian!
scourge of the great plateau
The guardians are beings of pure dread, the gloom hands of panic, they combine together in a powerful cacophonous symphony
I thought it was the other way around, the gloom hands spawn there goop and your like "not again" and the guardians are "OH SHIT"
Thank you. I have a new sleep paralysis demon.
yo the hand guardian could be a super cool boss
Holy cow what kind of nightmare is this
Terrifying, disturbing, and I'm probably going to have a nightmare about that picture tonight. I LOVE IT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My heart instantly went up 20 bpm hearing this-
I don’t mean to be a hater but the average bpm is 60-100 just so you know
He means that his heart rate went up not that his heart rate is actually 20bpm
The two sounds of psychological horror combined into one
This genuinely scares me. Good job.
I’m at the point where I don’t fear either
I am become death, destroyer of worlds
thats actully really coool
How to have a heart attack in 1 easy step.
This would be so wonderfully horrid to go up against, and I love it.
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
