[[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] and [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Zelda]] traveled [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] in search of the source of the mysterious "gloom" substance - named by [[Purah]] - afflicting citizens of [[Hyrule]], and causing them to fall ill. There, they found a corpse-like [[Ganon]]dorf radiating the substance, despite being pinned down by a strange [[Right Arm]]. As they approached, a tear-shaped object fell from the hand, allowing Ganondorf to revive. He then attacks Link with a concentrated burst of gloom. This ravaged Link's right arm, shattered the [[Master Sword]] and destroyed both 27 of Link's 30 [[Heart Container]]s & two of his three [[Stamina Wheel]]s, reducing him to the strength he had when he woke in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]]. Ganondorf then used the gloom to trigger the [[Upheaval]], opening [[Chasm]]s to the [[Depths]] across Hyrule, raising [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] into the air and many other effects. Zelda fell into [[Hyrule Castle Chasm|the first of these chasms]], but as Link dived after her, she vanished in a burst of light. He was then rescued and taken to [[Great Sky Island]] by the mysterious arm, and had his destroyed right arm replaced with it.

On the [[surface]], this effect lasts only as long as he is being continually exposed to gloom - although when heart containers are re-enabled, he still needs to heal as normal to fully restore his health. In the Depths, however, the effect does not automatically reverse unless he travels to an active [[Lightroot]], eats a "[[Sunny]]" meal or is revived by a [[fairy]].

In addition to static gloom lying on the ground, many enemies in the Depths are infested by gloom, and will deal gloom damage - disabling heart containers - rather than ordinary damage. There are also active pools found in the Depths and [[Labyrinths]], which chase Link and form giant hands with eyeballs to grab him.
