A challenge I took on in response to the top rated comment on this video.

[@lesliehoekstra4781]

Nintendo had to make it more traumatizing to have the ghosts sharpen their blades against eachother when they got closer to u xD

[@alexisw3454]

Leslie Hoekstra THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARES, NINTENDO.

[@joshhaswrizz]

the whole moment is traumatizing in general

[@CarGuy-uz7gz]

that is creepy as frick in surround sound

Christian Mott I got so nervous. Every time they woke up. I failed every trial once.

[@Rikku4u]

I know right??????

[@sillycitrus]

I LITERALLY JUST DID NAYRUS SILENT REALM IT TOOK THREE TRYS -_-“ BUT WHEN I COMPLETED IT I WAS SHAKING AND I ALMOST WENT TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF AN ANXIETY ATTACK. I have problems xD Edit: It only took one try for Farores silent realm, and I never got caught, but my anxiety was still bad. Oof xD

[@darklinkforever506]

Now, imagine when I had to do it at 11yo fking traumatizated

[@Cloudeusz]

It's terrifying how the sword guardians clash their swords together, making that creepy sound, as they come closer and closer...also they can go through walls

[@Maukiki]

GO THROUGH WHAT?!

Facts

[@felixzcontinue311]

which is scarier? Guardians in skyward sword or Guardians in Breath of the wild? Skyward sword: no item, no weapon, you literally can't fight back. Breath of the wild: You got all your things with ya. Skyward Sword: only in the realm Breath of the wild: Could be anywhere outdoor and active one has excellent sight.

[@SageSaria7]

I would say Guardians in Skyward Sword, because after a time you learn how to fight Guardians in Breath of the Wild, and can take them down with ease. With Guardians in Skyward Sword, you can't fight them period.

[@Peach-ok9zl]

Felixz Continue skyward sword because their theme

[@heaventoms8759]

Felixz Continue Breath of the Wild. You are *so* boned in Breath of the Wild.

[@midna9155]

ss because they follow you until they catch you, because they are scarier than the gurdians from botw and the theme.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

Felixz Continue Breath of the Wild, because unlike the ones in Skyward Sword, you'll deal with BotW's Guardians a lot more often since the start of the game.

[@tristangianelli]

this part of the game always reminded me very much of twilight princess

[@mitios4590]

misterlegotMC except you have literally no defense against it xD

[@atoxee6867]

misterlegotMC why?

[@AdmiralOctopus]

Laura The Glitch I'd guess because the colouration of the Silent Realms when the Guardians are chasing you looks a lot like the Twilight Realm.

[@leiwoomynati1372]

also the Tears of Nayru are like the Tears of Light-

[@filipinofoodiecooks]

Except there weren't guardians in the twilight world, just those disgusting Twilight monsters that scream when their friend dies :')

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

ARE YOU A MADMAN? RUN BACK TO THE FREAKING PORTAL!!

[@F-Lambda]

WHY WOULD YOU ACTIVATE THE HUNT ON PURPOSE!?!?

[@bleachfanbk]

Nathan Jones they were showing us what happens if the guardians awaken

[@Dark18862]

He could have avoided waking water and those things that hold lanterns. you get infinite time if you collect all tears

[@itsmeike]

I love activating the hunt every opportunity I can while collecting the tears. The fear is the most fun part

[@miguelmondragon308]

Nintendo: for the game's 10th aniversary, your anxiety source now on HD!!!

[@TFGA_tFoMS]

Yup. The source of your childhood trauma is not on the better console, and you surely have to play it again!

[@helm4251]

Link sure can run fast with balls that big.

[@Wott248]

And 15 of them? Well if I were in that situation I'd be fucked

[@bgmarshall]

Man this video really shows how, despite how terrifying this part of the game is, it's like, crazy easy if you aren't scared. Crazy how much panic can make something more difficult

[@itsmeike]

I think it depends on the area. The big tall guys swing crazy fast if you get too close and you can't really anticipate it

[@RandalXVI]

Sound design. If you turn off the music its no issue, but the atmosphere via echoey effects and the music turns this moment into true horror

[@vrepitsa1083]

I love how they added noises when the guardians are gaining on us. One thing i love about the Wii remote version is how you can feel it vibrating when there are footsteps gaining on you

[@kamiikaleidoscope8338]

I remember this happening to me and I ran all the way across the entire map to find a tear. I just paused my game so I could stop myself from passing out.

[@darksoulzFZ]

This was by far the scariest part in any Zelda game for me. I remember finding this glitch where that guy with the big-ass sword near the safe circle found me because I found all the tears but was found by a light. I ran for dear life to the safe circle but I ran out of stamina and I was like "SHIT" and that big-ass sword guy swung his sword right at me... but it didn't work. Link was just moved aside by it, like if it was a wall and not a death object. It took time to retract his sword back, and by then I got my stamina back so I ran to the safe circle and won... with luck in my side.... P.S. If the machete guys are real close to you, I would try sinking in the quicksand, as this will place you back to a movable spot and the machete guys would need to reorient themselves.

[@levil.6080]

darksoulzFZ Now we have breath of the wild the moving guardians, they are almost just as scary

[@alexisw3454]

Lerman lol yeah, but with less scary music.

[@flandrescarlet7227]

A mace isn't a sword, and a sword isn't a machete xD

[@estherwinchester2831]

Funny story, the same thing happened to me when I played this, but I didn’t glitch the system, I died with all the tears.

[@mimilolkins7123]

Oh dear god I remember this... "Ahh this is peaceful" *Accidentally steps into circle* "Wha?" *Guardian vanishes and music starts playing* "...the fuck?" *Guardians start to chase after* "AAAAHHHH AHHHH FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"

Ya know the first time i was playing this one. When i got all the tears and jumped off a ledge. I was caught by the little guy that follows you but i was like alright i mean the portal is just over there i can make it. WRONG!!!! It was a *F R I C K I N B E A C O N* I placed earlier. I had to run my ass around the frickin map to get to the portal all while being chased by those things, AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE F*CKING MUSIC. I made it, but it scarred me for life.

[@metawolf987]

Do you remember how the restored Twili people would moan when you stood in front of them?

[@gfy4762]

I agree the silent realm is the scariest thing of all the zelda games. But the twilight realm? I don't even find that a little bit scary, even tho I almost died at the silent realm of the amount of anxiety and stress I got the silent realm was just a pretty cool place in my opinion

[@vclynn9119]

Just heard a combination of the guardian theme from Skyward and the one in Botw. Nightmare fuel.

knowing you cant fight back and have to run with that tense as music.

I remember doing this when I was a little younger. I died and got pissed off so I had to have my dad do it.. he did it first damn try. probably cause of the stressful music that played while being chased

[@hawks-wings]

I had to run away from the guardians for a full two or so minutes between two tears in this one and stare one in the face and run full fucking speed at it to get the last tear… Nayru’s trial was more of a courage trial than Farore’s for me.
