Post-Zelda Depression

Noun; The feeling of depression, sadness, or sads a person encounters after finishing any The Legend of Zelda game. This condition sets on immediately after the euphoria when the boss is beaten, as the player suddenly realizes that there is nothing new to play in the game, and he needs to find some other game or hobby to enjoy, similar to parting with a best friend after years of enjoyment.

Post-Zelda Depression, or PZD, can have a prognosis of anywhere between 2 days to the rest of one’s life, but typically lasts until a new Legend of Zelda game is released or bought.

Symptoms include sadness, extreme disappointment, and often hours of doing nothing since someone’s previous occupation has now been reduced to a repeating memory.
I finished Ocarina of Time.
I finally slammed the Master Sword into Ganon’s head, and felt so proud. Then, I realized that the game freezes at the end of the credits. I wouldn’t get to explore my new world without Ganon.

I then realized that all I had left was stuff that I had already done — there were no post-boss tasks, no reward. Only the option to do it again and again.

I developed Post-Zelda Depression for a week. it felt like one of my friends had died. I longed to play more… to talk to Saria one more time

Eventually , I was able to let it all go, especially after I bought the Wind Waker.

post-surgery curiosity

Refers to the common occurrence of a patient’s asking the doctor to show him the “nasty” (i.e., a lodged foreign object, gall/kidney stone, tumor, infection-colony x-ray, etc.) that was removed, and thus his intense suffering in finally alleviated. Deep-framing said undesirable for display on the person’s wall is optional.
Children are most often the patients exhibiting post-surgery curiosity, such as wanting to see a thorn/splinter (“No WONDER this was paining you so much --- just look how big and ugly it is!”) after it’s been extracted from their hurting appendage.

post-eras depression (PED)

A deep sense of longing experienced after attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Similar to post-concert depression, PED stems from the overwhelming joy and excitement of the event, followed by the abrupt return to everyday life. Fans may find themselves reminiscing about the concert, replaying setlists, or scrolling through their camera rolls yearning to relive the magical experience.
After the final song of the night, I knew the Post-Eras Depression (PED) would hit hard—how could anything compare to the magic of seeing Taylor live?
