So close yet so far
We’ve seen all sorts of wild contraptions and physics-crushing videos withZelda: Breath of the Wild, but this one really got me (especially the ending!). ThisBreath of the Wildsequence breakclip starts innocently enough.
DudeBroGuyManSirPal, like many before them, builds a makeshift flying machine. While theOcto Balloonitems allow for all sorts of freewheeling airplanes, this one goes back to basics with a simple log. From there they climb to the top as it’s in flight, hold it in place with stasis, and put even more balloons on to gain a ton of height.
Their destination? The airborne Divine Beast Vah Medoh above Rito Village. While you normally have to partake in story quests to fight the Divine Beast, then “dock” inside of the monstrosity, this attempt tries to fly onto the top directly. It’s a big “nope,” though, as they pass right through the floor. Cue theCurb your Enthusiasmtheme.
For those of you following the various exploits ofBreath of the Wildplayers in the past: this is nothing new, as Vah Medoh will not yield to most tricks, includingmoon jumping. But you can totallyseethe innocence of this player here as they earnestly attempt to make a valiant skip attempt.
