So Gloom, very funny ability they gave Crenando in Tears of the Kingdom. He and his phantoms can both manifest and use various Gloom Weapons that inflict the Gloom Affliction effect upon Link, directly attacking his life force and preventing Link from healing, the weapons even affect Link if he's the one using them since the Gloom the weapons are made of are noted as wearing down the victims body when used by them. But if Link uses Gloom weapons against Ganondorf they don't do anything besides basic damage. Doesn't lock his health the same way it does Link, doesn't make him weaker unlike anyone else who touches it for like even a second who becomes practically immobile, nothing like that at all the Gloom doesn't affect him.
Now usually we don't give people resistance to their own abilities (For good reason) which is why stuff like Ganondorf covering his own body in Gloom, standing in Gloom puddles he creates, or even the fact that Gloom is just his own blood manifested into weird unholy magic wasn't taken into account since he could've just easily ignored himself while using Gloom (Which is also why I kinda brushed off him also being hit by Gloom weapons, but in this case this is Gloom being used by someone else against him. So I'm proposing Ganondorf gets resistance to all the basic applications of Gloom (Which is everything listed under Gloom Affliction in his profile) since that's just what the stuff does naturally without Ganondorf twisting it for other effects (So no funny stuff like letting him get a resistance to all his own abilities). This would also give him a resistance to corrosion inducement since Gloom naturally corrodes anything it touches, and a resistance to soul manipulation since the Gloom Spear reaps a person's soul with a single cleave and he very clearly doesn't get his soul torn from his body no matter how many times Link stabs him.
The only part of Gloom Affliction I'm kinda on the fence about him resisting is the healing negation part, he does heal back to full health (And even gets more health) when he transforms into his demon form but I'm not sure if that's because he's healing or just because he just a lot more to give since he was holding back. Plus y'know, he has low-godly regen so it could easily just be that Glooms healing negation just isn't good enough against regen that absurdly high so he doesn't even need to resist it in the first place.
