Tears of the Kingdom but what if the Gloom was way worse?
I'm talking people are getting dragged into chasms, being possessed, their minds are getting super fucked up by the Gloom when they're in it for too long, and they're damn near acting like zombies. Nobody goes out at night if they can help it, and everything is barricaded on a Blood Moon.
People are more resourceful in the way that they learn how to keep the Gloom away. They wear special clothes infused with sundelions, and they carry around a lot of bright bloom seeds. All areas are constantly well lit. It won't deter the Gloom, but it's so they can see it coming.
It's so bad that the Yiga are offering to let people into their hideout. They know this wasn't Lord Ganon's doing, and they won't support it when it's getting their own people hurt.
Link arrives when he usually does, but everything is barren. There's a lot of Gloom everywhere, just like he had seen from the Great Sky Island. None of the dragons are flying around, save for Naydra who seems to be immune after the Malice.
He finds a Gerudo woman that nearly shanks him with a Demon Carver. She pulls the mask down from her mouth and nose despite the chill. She explains all that has happened. She says that they all thought he and the Princess were goners. She lends him a spare set of Sunny clothing, then gets him started with a bow and lots of arrows.
It would be rad if the Gloom was messing with so much that even Ganon said "yo I can't rule these bitches if they're braindead could you stop" and the Gloom says "no🥰💅"
Link reluctantly teams up with Ganon, who keeps grumbling about how he can't wait to be fabulously evil. He damn near gets knocked over by the Light Dragons and the world's funniest thing happens because all three parts of the Triforce are in the same place.
Ganondorf.. is no longer green. That's it. That's all it does. It just gives him the smoothest brown skin in all of Hyrule, and he even gets to keep his weapons, which have shifted from Gloom to Demon.
Rauru is watching this from the Great Sky Islands, shaking and crying and vomiting because what the fuck??? Sonia has to ease him away from spectating before he goes catatonic.
They go around Hyrule and save the day blah blah blah it's 7:35 AM and I need to sleep I'll get detailed later.
