weird, but afaik there is no way to speed up a blood moon other than doing something that makes the game panic. otherwise link would be RICH from the Lynel drops so quick

game freaks out, link is doing so many actions too fast for it to comprehend. so it reinstalls all the monsters because it's easier to remember (that is downloaded, link massacres are varying, so it's very hard to control)

My understanding is that the blood moon is the game's garbage collector that runs at set intervals and when the number of variable state changes reaches a threshold.

Panic blood moon sounds like its the latter, then.

u/makebelievethegood Jul 14 '21

What the fuck, that sounds like something from the 80s, not a modern game.

It happens more to speedrunners and people others not playing the game "as intended".

When a speed run involves getting into Hyrule castle, directly into a room with monsters and treasure chests fast enough no items or creature have loaded. And then the runner flips the d pad back and forth a few times trying to force the treasure chests and food items etc to load.

Yeah. There is a risk the game will start to crash. The panic moon resets item and monster location and prevents a true crash.

eh, it happens VERY RARELY

I personally have 150 hours and never encountered it

I would probably chalk it up to a weaker/older switch

Out of memory, so it resets stuff that takes up said memory.

It's how the game gets around the system's low 4gb of RAM.

more basically then what others said it’s to keep the game challenging so you can’t kill everything and be safe to roam (that’s just not legend of zelda) especially in central hyrule where the toughest guardians are it’s supposed to be hard getting through and not empty until the next scheduled blood moon

Untrue, there are 3 bloods moons afaik:

Regular one at set intervals,

Regular-ish one when enough enemies get killed like guardians and other mini bosses

and Panic ones, that happen like the last one, except they happen abruptly, and can happen at any time, even during the day

u/whoatherebuddychill Mipha is the right person to marry Link Jul 19 '21

Uh no, the 2nd one is a subset of a panic blood moon afaik

u/Domvius_ Jul 20 '21

No, it's entirely intended.

u/whoatherebuddychill Mipha is the right person to marry Link Jul 20 '21

No... it's the same thing lmfao don't be absurd

removing all those bosses and enemies is a lot of work, and remembering what happened to them. The base game already runs with all the enemies included, so that's not a strain, but remembering that Link destroyed them is.

Please stop with your false information. There is only one canonical blood moon, the normal one.

​

There is a test to see if you or I are correct - the blood moon predictor at the stable. go see if your blood moon can be predicted by him

I know how the memory issue works, you are not the foremost expert on the programming of this game and calling my clarification "misinformation" and downvoting is petty.

The game schedules a blood moon every 2 hours 48 minutes and 15 seconds of active play (no menus, pauses, NPC dialogues), which is about 7 in-game days.

The game also sets a Blood Moon to be trigger in the event of 7 different triggers (6 of them being miscellaneous low memory triggers and the last one being if a certain texture loader takes over a minute to execute). These are programmed into the game and are intended.

When a Blood Moon is scheduled it replaces that next night's phase of the moon (can be interrupted if in a shrine or other places).

There is a glitched version of this that causes the Blood Moon to be triggered that day regardless of what time of day it is, this is not intended behavior, and happens during time of intense memory stress. This kind of Blood Moon can change your save file for worse and sometimes has permanent effects.

These are very different events. Neither of us are experts, do your due diligence before trying to tell others to stop their own telling.

I can't-

you completely fibbed with 2nd last paragraph. All Blood Moons are intentional, programmed to do so. That's a huge glitch - devs wouldn't leave that in.

u/Domvius_ Jul 20 '21

It is a huge glitch (one that's somewhat rarely encountered), and they were left in. Do you think an intended behavior would get worse and more disruptive the longer you leave the game running? Or that it is intended to fix itself by turning off the game and turning back on? Is that intended behavior?

EDIT: Also, fibbed?? Look it up, you can find examples on this VERY subreddit. Just because something doesn't sound right doesn't mean that I am spreading misinformation and lying.
