But why

For science

 

[Kissenkopf]

Lol...yeah, why not.

I love that music. It is so...uplifting.

 

[Pinky]

Wow! That's some commitment right there!

 

[En-ou]

What's the point?

Just asking, I don't have the game.

What's the point of playing a video game?

 

[Calm Mind]

What did we do to deserve this game?

 

[Glass Shark]

Might as well screw the contest and glide from Hebra Mountain, to make it a total cross-Hyrule glide. 3/4 of the continent is pretty cool though.

Kind of puts into perspective how tiny Hyrule actually is, and you have people complain it's "too big and empty".

Yeah, everyone kept talking about how massive the game world was and when I started playing I realized it wasn't insurmountable. Sure, it's BIG, but it never feels like you're just wandering aimlessly with nothing to look at and interact with. The landscape is peppered with tons of stuff to do.

It's a video game, what's the point in anything?

 

[MTC100]

Didn't they calculate the size of hyrule much bigger prior this flight? In the end one could also argue about how accurate the measurement of distance really is in the game, I guess...

I remember when the first footage came out when it was still known as Zelda WiiU and everyone was worried about a massive, but empty, nothing to do land.

 

[antibolo]

I assume that meager 100 rupee prize doesn't even begin to cover the overall cost of that flight, lol

 

[chaosblade]

I need to watch this when I get home since I tried to do something similar and it didn't work.

 

[fredrancour]

What's the point?

Just asking, I don't have the game.

cause gliding is fun as heck in the game and eventually this guy wondered how far he could do it for.

 

[NumberThree]

How do you get so many arrows

 

[Insaniac]

How do you get so many arrows

you play lots. And you buy out every vendor you can find. Although I'm not exactly sure if there's a reliable bomb arrow farming spot

 

[Calm Mind]

Be honest with us, you questioned the taste of candy as a child.

 

[Kneefoil]

I think he might've been able to fly even a bit farther had he created updrafts all the way to the very edge of that cliff, but this was cool regardless. The Eventide ending was pretty funny too.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That prize tho

 

[Not]

Just to see if it can be done? like any of these arbitrary tasks

Have people ALREADY exhausted all there is to do in this game? Jesus, is their whole life just Sleep, Zelda, Postmates, Zelda, Sleep?

 

[Pinky]

What did we do to deserve this game?

We're still not worthy, but Nintendo thought otherwise.

 

[NumberThree]

I think he might've been able to fly even a bit farther had he created updrafts all the way to the very edge of that cliff, but this was cool regardless. The Eventide ending was pretty funny too.

I was wondering about that, maybe something about Eventide makes it break if he flies too far?

Why does fast travel take time when he can just be instantly teleported like at the end there..

 

[CharminUltra]

I mean, that's pretty clever.

 

[Jarmel]

Spoiler

The prize is 100 rupees

lololololol

The rewards in this game are so shitty.

 

[CJY]

I love hearing about people pushing the internal systems of a game to their limits.

Super Monkey Ball on Gamecube was another one where you could get the game to do crazy, unintentional things.

 

[En-ou]

lololololol

The rewards in this game are so shitty.

The game is not about end rewards. No tangible game reward can compensate for some of the experiences.

 

[Malus]

Some more cool unique armor pieces or quest exclusive weapons would've been nice.

Though to be fair to the quest all you gotta do to get the rupees is glide down normally.

 

[ChrisD]

you play lots. And you buy out every vendor you can find. Although I'm not exactly sure if there's a reliable bomb arrow farming spot

Not really farming, but Gerudo Town sells 60 of them if I recall correctly.


I wonder if you could get further away than they did if you don't land on Eventide Island?

 

[SigSig]

I played Tetris today and reached a really big score and there wasn't any reward at all? Like why did I spend half an hour playing, wow.

 

[Jarmel]

The game is not about end rewards. No tangible game reward can compensate for some of the experiences.

This isn't a mutually exclusive scenario. The sidequests have such lame rewards for the amount of work needed to put in.

 

[RAWRferal]

You can get that prize with a significantly lower distance, I imagine. Anyone know what the threshold is?

Spoiler

it triggered for me at 600m IIRC

 

[gardfish]

And I thought I was cool for flying from Death Mountain to Hyrule Castle.

 

[MattKeil]

What did we do to deserve this game?

Paid $60 for it.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

lololololol

The rewards in this game are so shitty.

The gliding is normally about a minute long and 500-700m.

This person is just trying to see how far they can push the gliding, the minigame is only there because it has a built in distance meter.

 

[BrightLightLava]

lololololol

The rewards in this game are so shitty.

With Pieces of Heart being out of the game, all of the mini-games and tasks never really felt worth it, outside of completion percentage.

I only bowled a bunch when I needed a bunch of rupees and had already sold everything I didn't mind giving up.

 

[13ruce]

lololololol

Game is about fun....

 

[CharminUltra]

Not even a trophy? Why would you even play that trash?

 

[varkuriru]

Amazing! Also the music surprised me more, is that in-game?!?


Edit: it is!

 

[Malice215]

Now I need to give this a try. Love seeing what people can do with this game.

 

[Malus]

Paid $60 for it.

Speak for youself I got GCU.

But then I guess that means I don't deserve the game.

what have i done

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

This isn't a mutually exclusive scenario. The sidequests have such lame rewards for the amount of work needed to put in.

I think a lot of us are enjoying the world were a decent reward isn't needed.

I understand that. That's still a pretty crappy reward for that subquest. I was wondering what you could get from that subquest and it's something meager like that.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I understand that. That's still a pretty crappy reward for that subquest. I was wondering what you could get from that subquest and it's something meager like that.

? It's a perfectly decent reward for something that isn't even a quest, you just meet a guy who asks you to glide, you do it for a minute, and it teleports you back and he gives you money.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I played Tetris today and reached a really big score and there wasn't any reward at all? Like why did I spend half an hour playing, wow.

Not even an Elon Musk ​shuttle launch?

Reminds me of the old days. Here's a fucking screen. Now play again.

 

[Malus]

The jovial music really matches the scene of Link raining down fiery death upon the bokoblins and wildlife of Hyrule for amusement.

 

[AdanVC]

What did we do to deserve this game?

We're not worthy of too much awesomeness in a single game, lol.

 

[Rurunaki]

lololololol

Like Club Nintendo rewards recently.

 

[hemo memo]

Just like every Zelda game, they're going to break this to insane levels.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

We should have seen this coming. Dudes want tags for all the posts and this is the eventual outcome. GAF-internet-GAF

 

[Krakatoa]

wow beats the shit out of my 610 meters

 

[Jarmel]

The bowling minigame gives you potentially 300 rupees for something conceivably easier and just as quick. It's a problem with most of the missions/quests/minitasks in the game as the in-game rewards are pretty barebones.

Have to agree.. least rewarding Zelda game I've played.. there's no sense of achievemebts for the dungeons (outside the 4 main).
