Flexing from multiple angles
It is not hyperbolic to say that almost every month, in the last four years, there has been a “must-see”. Zelda: Breath of the Wild clip coming out of the community. Similarly, the incredible nature of the clip below cannot be underestimated.
Without a doubt, this is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. From the Japanese YouTube channel (noticed by Twitter user GamesCage) ゼ ル ダ ね こ, the clip is nicknamed “1400m BtB trick shot”. He does exactly what he says on the board: the player jumps out of a window, prepares to navigate a Guardian Shield, then shoots an erroneous arrow. Jumping from an enemy below, they glide across the sky, following the arrow to the end; which ends up hitting a Guardian perfectly.
It’s incredible! I’ve seen a lot of gunfire in close combat, or even remote arrow tricks, but rarely something so far (again, 1400m). Amazingly, the channel actually takes you through the process they used to trigger “monthly jumps,” which in turn measured the distance between two points. The video below is actually mathematical!
The channel itself is aimed primarily at Japanese, but you can enable subtitles for raw English translations. It even guides you through how to connect multiple Switch recordings (which is why there is a pause in the video). Hats off! I’ll think about this video for a while.
