So close yet so far
We’ve seen all sorts of wild contraptions and physics-crushing videos with Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but this one really got me (especially the ending!). This Breath of the Wild sequence break clip starts innocently enough.
DudeBroGuyManSirPal, like many before them, builds a makeshift flying machine. While the Octo Balloon items 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 the Curb your Enthusiasm theme.
For those of you following the various exploits of Breath of the Wild players in the past: this is nothing new, as Vah Medoh will not yield to most tricks, including moon jumping. But you can totally see the innocence of this player here as they earnestly attempt to make a valiant skip attempt.
