A deep (sky)dive into the dark, scary, and disturbing moments that make up The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In this first video, I focus on a few of the games most memorable bosses (which includes the infamous Tentalus, and The Imprisoned), along with some of the creepiest locations in Zelda's history (The Ancient Cistern underground--inspired by Hell as depicted by The Spider's Thread--the Sandship under attack, and the Silent Realm trials).

![Quintuple Pain Mario vs. the Strongest Attack in TTYD
In The Thousand Year Door remake, I equipped four Double Pain badges to create Quintuple Pain Mario, who takes 5x more damage than normal. I then had the superboss charge up and dish out their most powerful attack, hitting for 99 damage five times in succession (thats 495 total damage in one turn)!
The only way to aquire more than one Double Pain is via a developer oversight; if you pick up a badge dropped by an enemy while your badge inventory is full (200 is the maximum allowed), you can choose to toss any of your other badges. This action makes the game think you discarded a one-of-a-kind badge, so a copy of it will be on sale at Lovely Howz of Badges (even if you pick the original back up again). This can be repeated indefinitely with any badge, though the shop can only hold three instances of a particular badge (like Double Pain) at once. Have fun!
