Mine seems to be respawning even on normal moons. Must be a bug.
Can someone explain this to me?
Edit: haha of course BotW. Didn’t make the connection. Thanks.
In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, a “blood moon” happens every 3 or so in-game days. This is a cutscene where the sky turns red and the blood moon comes out. When this happens, all monsters you have killed in the world come back to life.
Iirc I think it’s every 7 in-game days (unaffected by sleeping or resting at fires), and nearly 3 hours real-time, but when you kill enough enemies it happens automatically so if you do a lot of killing then blood moons will happen more often.
I don’t think it’s on any sort of timer, 7 in game days is just a coincidence afaik.
It helps the game refresh so it doesn’t have as much data, about what monsters, items, etc are gone, to keep track of. It is a very clever double whammy feature that makes the game run better and more fun to play.
In the latest Legend of Zelda games there’s a regular event that takes place every in-game month called the Blood Moon. When it happens all of the enemies that the player had previously defeated come back to life. The joke here is the the dirty dishes were cleaned, but the blood moon reincarnated them.
I so overcomplicated this meme i my head coz if you cook during blood moon the food gets extra buff and I thought the dishes are there coz everyone is cooking 🤦
Wait WHAT!? Cooking during the blood moon buffs the meal!? Where were we supposed to learn that?
You can’t. Apparently when you kill a ton of enemies really fast the blood moon happens quicker. At least according to some other person on this thread
Enemies you defeat will stay gone until the next Blood Moon, which triggers after you defeat a certain percentage of enemies in the world. It’s designed to keep the game exciting and fresh so there are always enemies around.
In open world games, there is usually a mechanism to reset the game world in part or in full after a period of time. This frees up system memory and prevents the game world from becoming barren.
The Zelda open world games (breath of the wild and tears of the Kingdom), are unique in that this mechanic is given a canonical explanation, rather than simply happening in the background as with other open world games.
At midnight (in-game) after a set number of similarly in-game days (or immediately if the game is about to crash) an event called the Blood Moon happens, where all enemies and most items are reverted to their state before you came along and kicked ass.
The joke here is that the dirty dishes was the prior state before the person cleaned them, hence after a blood moon, they are dirty again.
When the glow of the blood stained moon shines upon the land, the spirits of slain monsters return to flesh. The world is threatened once again.
Fuck
7 Chores To Die
Once you’ve got kids the blood moon rises every 3 minutes
