      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.

            You can cook anywhere. If you are on the go use zonai stove from the ball. The food will have extra hearts like when you put a gold apple in it

          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.

      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.
