Blood Moon

The Blood Moon is an event that occurs on a random midnight in. It is indicated by a red colored full moon rising instead of a regular moon or phase. Before a Blood Moon, the environment will glow red and the air will be full of black particles. A Blood Moon event can also occur even when skipping time using a campfire or sleeping at an inn. The Blood Moon cutscene will play after time has been skipped.

A Blood Moon event cannot start occurring until after Link enters a region outside of the Great Plateau, which from that point on, will occur on random nights. It is possible the odds of a Blood Moon occurring depends on how many enemies were defeated in-between each Blood Moon that has occurred.

When it occurs, the Blood Moon revives all enemies and Overworld Bosses that have been defeated up until that point.

Cooking from 11:30 PM to 12:00 AM on the night of a blood moon will always give a critical cooking rate, which gives better quality food with higher stats depending on the Materials used.
