He grunts weakly, falling to one knee (both knees in the 3DS remake), before collapsing face-first onto the floor. All other moving objects freeze in place, and the screen darkens so that only {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} and {{Term|OoT3D|Navi}} are visible as {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} collapses. If {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} dies from drowning, he chokes and thrashes about before his body goes limp and floats to the surface of the water (if he is wearing the {{Term|OoT3D|Iron Boots|link}} underwater when he drowns, the standard collapsing death animation is used instead). The {{Term|OoT3D|Game Over}} menu has the options to either {{Term|OoT3D|Saving|link|display=Save}} the game and respawn, respawn without {{Term|OoT3D|Saving}}, or to save and go to the {{Term|OoT3D|Title Screen|link}}. {{Term|OoT3D|Link}} can avoid death if he has a {{Term|OoT3D|Fairy|link}}, where after losing all the {{Plural|OoT3D|Heart|link}} in his {{Term|OoT3D|Life Gauge}}, he will die as usual, but the {{Term|OoT3D|Fairy}} will appear and restore Link's life, saving him from a {{Term|OoT3D|Game Over}}. | ||

In {{MM}} there are two {{Term|MM3D|Game Over}} scenarios: one when {{Term|MM3D|Link|link}}'s {{Term|MM3D|Life Gauge|link}} depletes fully, which uses the dying animation from Ocarina of Time, and a second where the {{Term|MM3D|Moon|link}} crashes into {{Term|MM3D|Termina|link}}.

For the latter, [[Terminan Apocalypse|a cutscene]] plays that shows the Moon slowly approaching [[Clock Town]] as the clouds in the sky spin uncontrollably, before touching down on the tower and spreading a fiery inferno across all reaches of the land. {{Term|MM3D|Link}} is seen standing in a black void against a dark red sky at the horizon, as the {{Term|MM3D|Fire|link|display=fiery}} shockwave begins to approach him. {{Term|MM3D|Link}} braces himself and is swept away. Afterward, {{Term|MM3D|Majora's Mask (Item)|link}} is shown, followed by someone speaking of {{Term|MM3D|Link}}'s "terrible fate" while the {{Term|MM3D|Happy Mask Salesman|link}}'s laugh is heard in the background. The {{Term|MM3D|Happy Mask Salesman}} then saves {{Term|MM3D|Link}} by resetting the three-day cycle, though all progress he made within the doomed cycle is lost. | For the latter, [[Terminan Apocalypse|a cutscene]] plays that shows the Moon slowly approaching [[Clock Town]] as the clouds in the sky spin uncontrollably, before touching down on the tower and spreading a fiery inferno across all reaches of the land. {{Term|MM3D|Link}} is seen standing in a black void against a dark red sky at the horizon, as the {{Term|MM3D|Fire|link|display=fiery}} shockwave begins to approach him. {{Term|MM3D|Link}} braces himself and is swept away.

When {{Term|TWWHD|Link|link}}'s {{Term|TWWHD|Life Gauge|link}} is depleted in {{TWW}}, {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} will wobble unsteadily and collapse on his back as the {{Term|TWWHD|Game Over}} screen appears, the letters falling in place one by one, each letter producing a thud as it lands. The menu allows the player to either quit the game, {{Term|TWWHD|Saving|link|display=Save}} and quit, or respawn. If {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} is knocked into {{Term|TWWHD|Water (Terrain)|link}} by the killing blow, he will thrash for air, sink beneath the surface, then slowly resurface face-down and link as the {{Term|TWWHD|Game Over}} screen appears.

Link | {{Term|TWWHD|Link}} has a slightly different animation should he die on the {{Term|TWWHD|King of Red Lions|link}}; he falls down more gently and remains in a sitting position against the gunwale of the boat, and he does not gasp upon hitting the deck. | ||

Upon the last hit, his breath will be suddenly cut off as the camera shows his body collapsing to the ground, accompanied by mournful choral music. If he dies while in water, his body will float lifelessly to the top of the water. Dying on {{Term|TP|Epona|link}} will result in Link collapsing on her back. Dying in {{Term|TP|Wolf Link|link|display=wolf form}} will result in Link staggering, before letting out a whine and collapsing to the ground, while {{Term|TP|Midna|link}} hovers over him, shaking her head. | ||
If {{Term|TPHD|Link}} fails to escape {{Term|TP|Barnes|link}}' {{Term|TPHD|Bomb|link}} storehouse, a series of explosions will appear onscreen before a final, larger one covers the player's view, revealing the Game Over screen when it fades away. | |||
Should Link fail to extinguish the wagon's fire while escorting {{Term|TP|Telma|link}}, {{Term|TP|Ilia|link}}, and {{Term|TP|Prince Ralis|link}} to {{Term|TP|Kakariko Village|link}}, a quick shot of the burned wagon in a black void with its inhabitants dead is briefly seen before cutting to the Game Over screen. | Should {{Term|TPHD|Link}} fail to extinguish the wagon's fire while escorting {{Term|TP|Telma|link}}, {{Term|TP|Ilia|link}}, and {{Term|TP|Prince Ralis|link}} to {{Term|TP|Kakariko Village|link}}, a quick shot of the burned wagon in a black void with its inhabitants dead is briefly seen before cutting to the Game Over screen. | ||

Because {{Term|ALBW|Sheerow}} collects {{Term|ALBW|Link}}'s {{Plural|ALBW|Item|link}} and forces him to buy them again, and because {{Term|ALBW|Ravio}} asks him if he is all right afterwards, it is implied that running out of hearts does not cause {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to die; rather, {{Term|ALBW|Ravio}} (in {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}} or the {{Term|ALBW|Blacksmith|link}} (in {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}) drag {{Term|ALBW|Link}} back to their respective houses upon his defeat. | |||

If the base game has been updated or {{TMT}} DLC is installed and enabling the [[Hero's Path Mode]], it will display areas where Link has died with a red cross and "R.I.P." text when hovered over. | Getting a Game Over presents the options to either continue the game from the most recent save, or to quit and return to the main menu. The 'Game Over' text will usually appear in red, however it can appear in blue or yellow if Link dies as a result of drowning or freezing or if Link dies from an electricity-based source, respectively. | ||
If the base game has been updated or {{TMT}} DLC is installed and enabling the [[Hero's Path Mode]], it will display areas where Link has died with a red cross and "R.I.P." text when hovered over. Reaching a death marker while viewing {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s journey results in an impact noise and the sound of Link falling into an abyss as his marker disappears, before it swiftly reappears where he respawned. | |||
