Hidden Details: Gloom Link
Added 2023-11-17 15:00:04 +0000 UTCWelcome to the one-hundredth-and-ninetieth episode of the Hidden Details blog!
Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: First things first: Toon Link is indeed wearing his Island Lobster Shirt, Percylegallois! You can find that shirt in Lurelin Village in Tears of the Kingdom, so yeah, it makes sense that he found it there when he liberated the village from the monsters in a previous comic.
2: Blupee Balthazar is running away from the Gloom Hands in the bottom left corner! Glad you noticed him, Spirit of Gotham!
3: This week's loss is visible in the rings on one of the Gloom Hands in this panel, but it's indeed flipped 90 degrees, Generic Hero.
SECOND PANEL
4: I tried to imitate the headshot effect from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom in this panel. Glad you noticed, Fighting Master.
5: Not even that, Zanreo, but the hearts in Toon Link's heart meter are Wind Waker (HD) hearts! I was really proud of that one myself.
6: The bow that Toon Link is using is actually in the game by the way. It's called the Wooden Bow.
THIRD PANEL
7: Same goes for the sword! In Tears of the Kingdom, this particular sword is called a Traveler's Sword.
8: One of the Gloom Hands is doing the circle game. Seems like it made you look, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends!
9: This week's crewmate is visible in the Gloom Hand shreds that are falling to the ground. Good catch, Pokedude14!
SEVENTH PANEL
10: Ganondorf is indeed Warlock Punching dehydrated Ganondorf in this panel, Tolis!
EIGHTH PANEL
11: Miep appeared on the King of Red Lions in a previous comic, but apparently she's still on there. You can see her tail in the final panel. Found by Cameron Devera.
12: There's some Dark Clumps and a Gloom Sword lying in the place where Phantom Ganon was defeated, as mentioned by Invisible Cloud. I didn't have enough panels to show his demise so I had to use these.
Next week around this time, I'll reveal all the details. The ones that have not been found will be marked italic.

2023-11-17 15:42:56 +0000 UTCPanel 5: Toon Link's horror and shock at Phantom Ganon rising after he defeats the Gloom Hands echoes that of many players who went through the exact same experience when they first battled and beat the Hands.

2023-11-17 15:36:39 +0000 UTCI like the scare lines around some of the panels to represent the scary music that plays when Gloom Hands show up, and how Ganondorf's interrupt was obviously accompanied by the same music.
