Gloom

is a substance in.

Characteristics
TotK: is very similar to Series:, and is produced by Ganondorf. When TotK: comes into contact with it, it temporarily reduces his maximum hearts. Hearts that have been depleted by Gloom will appear grey and broken, allowing them to be distinguished from damage taken from other sources.

TotK: saps the strength of creatures 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 hearts to TotK:. However, being in the TotK: prevents gloom damage from healing over time, unless TotK: is standing beneath a TotK: or eats food made with a TotK:.

Enemies in the Depths are frequently wreathed in Gloom, and will similarly reduce Link's maximum health when attacking him.
