Breath of the Wild’s Blood Moon Spells Disaster for One Player Following Lynel Fight

Anyone who has ever played Breath of the Wild knows how difficult fighting some of its enemies can be, especially when you’re still getting the hang of things at the start. Whether its simple Bokoblins or intimidating Guardians, just about everything is a challenge for newcomers.

This only gets more challenging once the Blood Moon is introduced in the game, as it resurrects all of the enemies you’ve defeated in order to repopulate the world. While this is always something to keep an eye out for, there has probably never been more unfortunate timing for this to occur than what happened to one player in the post below.

As you can see in their post to the Breath of the Wild subreddit, the user above had some pretty bad luck after just narrowly clearing an intense battle with a Lynel in the game. Right as the centaur-like mini-boss entered its death animation, the sky went red and the eerie song that accompanies the Blood Moon began to play.

The clip ends right as everything is about to reset, with the Lynel popping up right behind Link with full health as if nothing had ever happened. Have you ever had something similar happen to you in Breath of the Wild? Be sure to let us know in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
