Between pulling the Gaurof Sword and waking up to the complete absence of his DoomedHometown, Link remembers struggling in the grip of a skeletal wraith as it pulled him into the void.

* Played for laughs in ''Film/MontyPythonTheMeaningOfLife'', in which the Grim Reaper shows up at a house party only to be treated as a mildly annoying uninvited guest and invited in for some awkwardly polite conversation. He eventually loses his patience as he tried to explain to the party that their time has come. When they finally realize the purpose of his visit, one of the guests attempts to shoot him, but it doesn't work.
