Nine Link's together with The creator going on record saying they they love angst? Doesn't look good for our heroes.

As this is a MOMENTS page, All Spoilers Are Unmarked. You have been warned.

  • The mere fact that the threat is so large, 9 Links have to be brought together to stop it.
  • Unlike the games, Wild's scars shown in full, and they are horrific. Not only do they litter his entire body (except for most of his face), at one point Hyrule and Wild discuss them and Wild mentions that, although the Shrine of Resurrection healed it, his ear was very likely shot off by a Guardian. Sky is cringing and begging them to change the subject internally, and safe to say the audience is probably agreeing with him.
  • The Shadow's original appearance is... yuck. See for yourself here.
  • Wind mentioning his sister seemed to have an effect on Wild. The mere concept of Wild having a sister who he very likely lost in the Great Calamity is equal parts nightmarish and tragic—and even if it was scrapped in Zelda canon, there's nothing saying it's non-canon here.
  • Time mentions in "scars" that he has a lot of emotional baggage. Jojo has confirmed that he was alluding to his time in Termina.
  • The Yiga are still active. And they're out for more than just Wild—by now, they'll attack any Link they see. Case in point, their debut comic sees them attack and try to kill Warriors. And unlike Wild, none of the other Links know what to expect from a traveler until they're about to be jumped.
  • The Q and A has confirmed that Jojo had intentions of bringing everyone to Wild and Hyrule's versions of Hyrule. However, they also mentioned that seeing such destroyed worlds wouldn't mesh well with the Hero's spirit... Sky already has mountains of guilt from starting the cycle, but there are also the others who feel compelled to help anyone—only they're used to the friendlier worlds they come from, not the apocalyptic worlds that Wild and Hyrule come from.
  • Time is still holding onto the Fierce Deity mask, despite knowing how powerful it is. The fact that Time believes there's something so powerful he needs the mask as a last resort is telling.
  • The infection causes monster's blood to become black. It's a bit disturbing to look at and not to mention how the monsters look when they initially get infected...
    • Add to that the strong possibility that the infection has mind altering properties and it gets even creepier.
  • Dink's blade stops fairies from healing wounds
