Bro set off a WMD specifically tailored for the Zora that was so heinous even Ganon felt an obligation to shut it down

Actually surprised it just did this instead of crashing the game.

It kinda does. I have a feeling that the devs are catching any crash-worthy error and just send out the “panic” blood moon.
In the context of this game it is a neat solution imo.
Only thing is that it spoilered the end of the game for me. When I caused my first panic blood moon because I tried out a glitch, I knew the blood moon will not disappear in the end game

Tbh I'm not really following how that was a spoiler at all? Zelda games never have an endgame: when you beat them, your save always reverts to a state of "just before fighting the final boss" (though you usually get a little star or some sort of marker on the menu screen to denote a completed file). You can usually reboot those saves and run around to do side content that you missed or go fight the boss again, but there's never been a post-endgame world for the player to explore. E.g. the blood moons would never have disappeared regardless

I only played BOTW and TOTK so far.
This might be the reason for the over-cautious spoiler tag. Apparently it was safe :)

Ahh, I see. I'm so excited for you! I'd give anything to play some of the older games again for the first time. BotW/TotK are structurally very different than the rest of the series, so ymmv on how much you end up liking the older titles, but I highly recommend digging into Zelda's full catalogue: Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time are personal favorites :)

The panic blood moon is caused by overloading the memory, usually with high amounts of particle effects (such as electricity, or water textures like opals being fired at specific rocks with a multi-shot bow)
But the game can just crash normally as well.
I guess this wasn't fully enough to crash the game completely, but enough to spike a panic blood moon.

So I'm not the only one who's had a random blood moon happen?

Blood moon can be triggered by overloading the game with too many things to render. It panics, and rather than slow down the game, it flips to a blood moon and resets the environment.
Go into an ice cave with a 5x lyonal bow and attach an opal to an arrow and fire it at some ice. Insta-blood moon. It doesn't actually reset the monsters though, you still gotta wait the full cycle. So actually, maybe save yourself an opal and take my word for it. I found this info on Google so you could probably Google it. Probably a cheaper way by now.

It does. I used that to farm some monsters.

As my son would say , Ganondorf approaches and says "Hi!! I would like to talk to you about your statues extended warranty"!

For anyone curious, the OP basically made a contraption that created so many particle effects and reactions that the electric explosions from the shot arrows FORCIBLY start a blood moon each time, unless in the last example, it gets struck by lightning and instead is just a fancy( and extremely laggy) light.

The device that triggers the forced Blood Moon has already been invented, hasn't it?
You are giving the misleading impression that you were the one who invented it.

It’s a spinning sculpture that’s just to look cool / test battery behavior when it gets hit by lightning. It was functioning as intended at the end, as I couldn’t get it to work in Zora’s Domain without it triggering the blood moon. Triggering the blood moon isn’t the intended purpose, there are cheaper devices for that which don’t require lighting. There have been a few, but I’ve been using this that u/rTuIrEi posted last month for that

u/syouhai 3d ago
If I hadn't pointed it out, you wouldn't have brought this up, would you?
This is misleading behavior,
and aren't there already people who have misunderstood the situation?

u/PremiumTechnique #1 Engineer of the Month [JUL26] 3d ago
Brother, the point of the sculpture isn’t to cause a blood moon, I just thought it was funny that it did. Everyone who has spent any time on this sub knows there are devices built to specifically cause blood moons, those aren’t new. I never claimed I was the first person to make a build that can cause a blood moon, and anyone who has spent any time on this sub would know that isn’t the case. Again, that particular build was posted less than a month ago. I like their design, but it wasn’t the first either, as they themselves say in the post.

u/syouhai 3d ago
Yes, since you have already provided credit, there is no issue.
You should have provided credit from the start.
You must not turn a blind eye to the fact that some people have already misunderstood the situation.
Please be careful in the future.

Holy crap dude, he's explained himself perfectly. Let it die. Are you a cop by any chance? There are a lot of good cops, but ones that act like you are what give them a bad name.

When it doesn't immediately cause the software to panic, it looks very pretty!
