Gloom

is a substance in.

Characteristics
TotK: is very similar to Series:, and is produced by TotK:. When TotK: comes into contact with it, it temporarily reduces his maximum hearts. Hearts that have been depleted by Gloom will appear to be gray and broken, allowing them to be distinguished from damage taken from other sources. The NaN Hearts damaged are always whole NaN Hearts, meaning half or quarters of a TotK: cannot be reduced. If TotK: has any temporary hearts prior to taking gloom damage, only all of the temporary hearts will disappear regardless of the amount of gloom damage, with none of his regular hearts affected. If Link have temporary hearts and gloom hearts (by having gloom damage first, then eat food that grants temporary hearts), and recovers from gloom, temporary hearts are converted into regular filled hearts (up to Link's permanent maximum number of hearts). During "TotK:", TotK: is shown to have the ability to permanently destroy NaN Hearts, leaving TotK: with only three in his TotK:. TotK: demonstrates this again during their battle in TotK: but only a single heart is lost.

TotK: saps the strength of individuals upon touching them, in some cases leaving them sluggish and unable to move. Being on the TotK: or the TotK: allows TotK: to recover from losing NaN Hearts to TotK:, at a rate of one TotK: per second. However, being in the TotK:, fighting TotK:, and facing TotK: all prevent TotK: from recovering. These factors can be mitigated by standing beneath a TotK: or eating TotK: made with a TotK: or TotK:. Sleeping in a TotK: also restores NaN Hearts lost by TotK: and fills them.

NaN Enemies in the TotK: are frequently wreathed in TotK:, and they will similarly reduce TotK:'s maximum health when attacking him. In this case, they are capable of dealing multiple NaN Hearts-worth of TotK: damage, and elemental damage from arrows will deal both regular and Gloom damage.. TotK:'s attacks are also able to deal higher amounts of TotK: damage.
