[[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] and [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Zelda]] traveled [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] in search of the source of the mysterious "gloom" substance - named by [[Purah]] - afflicting citizens of [[Hyrule]], and causing them to fall ill. There, they found a corpse-like [[Ganon]]dorf radiating the substance, despite being pinned down by a strange [[Right Arm]]. As they approached, a tear-shaped object fell from the hand, allowing Ganondorf to revive. He then attacks Link with a concentrated burst of gloom. This ravaged Link's right arm, shattered the [[Master Sword]] and destroyed both 27 of Link's 30 [[Heart Container]]s & two of his three [[Stamina Wheel]]s, reducing him to the strength he had when he woke in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]]. Ganondorf then used the gloom to trigger the [[Upheaval]], opening [[Chasm]]s to the [[Depths]] across Hyrule, raising [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] into the air and many other effects. Zelda fell into [[Hyrule Castle Chasm|the first of these chasms]], but as Link dived after her, she vanished in a burst of light. He was then rescued and taken to [[Great Sky Island]] by the mysterious arm, and had his destroyed right arm replaced with it.

If Link has multiple [[Temporary Heart]]s, they are treated as a *single* Heart Container for the purposes of gloom damage. As with any temporary hearts, they disappear permanently after loss.

In addition to static gloom lying on the ground, many enemies in the Depths are infested by gloom, and will deal gloom damage - disabling heart containers - rather than ordinary damage. There are also active pools found in the Depths, [[Labyrinths]] and, occasionally, other areas such as [[Akkala Citadel Ruins]]. These chase Link and form giant hands with eyeballs to grab him.
