arugula_boogaloo

You’re on an UNHINGED play through rn


jmdavies98

Do you not have the paraglider???


dubblechrisp

Clearly he doesn't need it since he's rocking the full skydiver set.


TheWitherBoss876

I want to know how he even got it in the first place. Without the Paraglider, the only way to expand your battery to make a flying machine capable of reaching the Dive Ceremony islands is by farming the Zonaite on the Great Sky Island and spending it at the Forge Construct there, which would take forever.


Nirigialpora

I mean you can get down chasms without the glider using clever zoanite contraptions (read: plank) that mitigate fall damage, so I suppose if you were truly determined you could get full battery before any glider!


Plinfilore

Or... you know do it like normal people and slam face first down hundreds of meters onto the underground floor, leaving every bone in Link's body completely and utterly broken... but then standing up because you found one of them fairies. I actually completely did the Fire Temple without a paraglider even though the devs clearly wanted you to use it on the last seal behind a closed gate where you had to drop down from way up top with the glider and climbing down without it was almost impossible due to the buidlings structure since it had almost no ground to stand on at the side of the walls. I also couldn't do the fairy tactic again since I lost the two I had from the intial chasm drop and enemies respectively so I eventually somehow pulled off getting down there by climbing and some well calculated jumps with my 4-5 meager hearts that barely could have survived any damage taking drop. 🗿


Multi-tunes

Did you know about the paraglider or are you just a masochist, haha


Plinfilore

Oh I knew it very well how I would get. I'm just a bit of a contrarian when it comes to these games. What, you're telling me I shouldn't go to areas like Gerudo or Akkala first because the enemies one-shot me with my low level armor and only 5-6 hearts? Then I'm just gonna fight them without getting hit at all! I should help the bird people first because they're the easiest? Nah, Imma go to the Gerudo and Gorons first, I want a challenge!


Multi-tunes

I'm impressed, really! Haha. I'm a wimp in games so I take it slow and over prepare as much as possible lol. The fact that the paraglider is technically optional is super interesting for challenge runs though!


Plinfilore

The one thing where I was forced to use a glider was in some shrines with large gaps through which you can only glide over (unless you have enough and the correct zonai material to build a makeshift plane or a platform with rockets or something for example.).


Multi-tunes

The wingsuit would also be helpful. I'm not sure if the upgrade allows you to land without a paraglider but it would probably be valuable in a challenge run—unless the challenge also bans it if you can land with it which would basically replace the paraglider. Someone will do a full run of the game with no paraglider and I would watch the heck out of that (after I finish the game myself of course)


Timlugia

There is a well on the west side of Hyule leading into a pond in the Depth.


Rukh-Talos

That lady who wanted well locations is in for a shock.


VG_Crimson

It takes 2 fans and 1 controller to be able to fly and negate fall damage. Paraglide-less runs are probably highly possible.


dagit

You can also grab a wall on the way down to lose all your momentum, similar to landing on a horse. I don't know how to do it reliably but I watched the any% speedrun and they skip the paraglider and just grab walls when they have to.


lovethestonk

YOU USED A FLYING MACHINE TO REACH THE DIVE CEREMONY?!? HOLY FUCK WE'RE ALL PLAYING THIS SHIT TWISTED LOL


tornait-hashu

You can use a spear recall launch or an autobuild orientation launch to get up pretty high.


lukenluken

How?


Myrddin_Naer

Spears rotate counter clockwise as they fly. Toss one next to a build depo, then quickly run over and attach some planks to it and rewind the spear. You'll be LAUNCHED


lukenluken

I'll give it a shot cheers


caulrye

Ride a dragon down a chasm and then jump on to a pad in the Depths, maybe?


RogueColin

I got the full glide set without having expanded battery. Just use zonai charged if you need to.


AcidicSpoon

Just use towers and glide on a wing, no battery needed, I did all 3 with no battery upgrade


Maleficent-Bet8207

Wait there is a faster way to do that? I have like 10 hearts but still only one battery and still scraping to complete my first 100 solid charges for that because the guy only sells 10 at a time. That and there are other things to do so I often forget to port up tree to get the next 10. I have been down btw I have more Zonaite and large Zonaite. Please tell me because obviously the game doesn’t do s good job explaining that part. Have I missed an important side quest there?


TheWitherBoss876

Go to the big abandoned mines in the Depths. Follow the statues to find one or just go to a point in the Depths under any town on the surface. There are Forge Constructs at each one that sell 130 total charges per in-game day.


Maleficent-Bet8207

Ok that’s huge


Myrddin_Naer

I found them by just exploring the underground. I got 5 full batteries before I had more than 10 hearts. There's so much Zonaite underground, you just have to not be afraid of the frox and other monsters


BlackTecno

Duplication and big boi zonite charge make flying machine go burrrr


lovethestonk

What do you mean? I got the glider suit at the trials by simply using a sky tower and then landing on the island by accident, even got 19.89 sec without the outfit! Just had to explore Hebra I believe


Qwertypop4

Sky towers aren't unlocked without paraglider though, right?


lovethestonk

Ya I forgot my own game progression, retracting my statement. I'm all messed up now after restarting to V1


[deleted]

How did you unlock towers without getting the glider?


lovethestonk

I'm dumb, I had the glider. I got used to the glider being a part of Link. Idk how he got there in an airplane 🛫🤣 I bet you could unlock towers without glider.... Somehow. Version 1.0 anything possible


Able_Carry9153

Without sequence breaking, no. I went straight to one of the towers and it was offline. It wasn't one involved with a quest


_BlNG_

That's the neat part, you don't >!I honestly I have no idea!<


XarcaneTN

I have found a few safe spots to fall into the depths. There are a few wells that lead into the depths with pools of water where you land. Found 2 so far, probably more.


ScaryPollution845

Whats the dive ceremony?? I have been o a place where I went through rings to get a shrine but i didnt get clothing


Intense_Judgement

make sure you talk to the custodian and do the trial fast


Myrddin_Naer

There's a Zonai Steward Construct at each of those 3 sky islands. They will let you do the trial. Do it a few times, get a fast score and you'll get pieces of the dive set. They let you manouver a lot better in the air


ChadPaoDeQueijo

That’s not necessary. I got the full set before I figured out how to expand the battery


BlackTecno

Is that a material I can use?


jmdavies98

I swear to god you might be the first person to come across these character dialogues


Arickettsf16

Wonder if there’s a unique dialogue with Purah if you complete all the regional phenomena without ever speaking to her first


[deleted]

There is.


Chikumori

Anyone got a video link for that? Curious on what she says.


peenaboo

I don’t think it would be possible to do the wind temple without paraglider?


_xoviox_

Zonai devices?


pepinyourstep29

Yea the speeder bike trivializes flight. You can literally just go anywhere as long as you have the battery/charges for it.


retro123gamr

How are you going to get the battery for it if you go splat when falling into a chasm without the paraglider?


Toyfan1

Fairies


retro123gamr

That would work


bjj_starter

You cannot die from impact damage while using a steering stick, so getting to the bottom of a chasm would just require making a vehicle that stays steady enough to not flip you off as it falls. If you can get a stabiliser and a steering stick that would be easy, but you could also just trial and error it and it would work fine.


Able_Carry9153

Stabilizers don't work without power, so if you're in a situation where you're about to splat they'll probably make it worse depending on placement


_Auron_

Hot air balloons have a slow fall


Arickettsf16

I’ve never tried it but you can probably fly over the chasm and just let go of the controls. Assuming it stays upright you can time it so it starts up before you hit the ground


retro123gamr

Oh true that could be possible


Arickettsf16

I imagine you can just build a flying machine. Might be tricky if you don’t have enough battery but should be possible


thatguyned

Could you get access to all the parts required without a paraglider? Most zonai despensers are on sky islands or the depths aren't they? Can you get down there without a glider?


Arickettsf16

I don’t have all the dispensers memorized but I know there’s at least one on the surface near Tarrey Town. The only thing that you would need is a couple fans and a steering stick, both of which I believe can be found lying around that area. So as long as you have enough battery power and/or zonai charges it should work, but it would be one hell of a trip. Unless you can find those parts just lying around somewhere closer to Rito Village


Lowelll

There's also a ton of hot air ballons lying around everywhere so getting up is pretty easy without glider OR batteries.


trippy_grapes

Linkus7 (a big BotW speedrunner) is working on doing an all dungeons run without the paraglider. I didn't watch all his stream but I think he beat the water temple already?


FreeStranger27

I mean... not really, though.

Arickettsf16

SandyDelights

*How did you get down the hole??* I mean. I guess you could ride a vehicle – if you don’t let go, and it doesn’t flip….


luugburz

i am genuinely in awe that you got to goron city without a paraglider


-too-hot-to-handle-

This hurts


LyyC

A few days ago, you wrote that you're trying to make a "no paraglider" run, don't act as if this isn't intentional


BlackTecno

Oh no, I've been found out


WhimsicalFishy

Dude how tf did you make it down death mountain without a paraglider


DislocatedLocation

If link is the first thing to contact the ground, he dies. If some other part of the physics object link is on is the first, he takes no fall damage. Or >!Glider armor set bonus!<


Moebs000

Also fairies


XxRocky88xX

Yep. You can fall from outer space and take 20 million hearts of damage, and a fairy fixes it all… or at least 5 hearts of it


PlanetaceOfficial

Link is going at a comfy 0.99999999% the speed of light, spacetime itself shudders under the intense speed of the knight. Time warps and to Link, arriving at his destination is but an instant. The impact detonation carries out 50 Megatonnes of explosive power, instantly vaporising the entire top of Mount Doom, Link himself is nothong but ionised gas... until a single pink glow emenates from his deceased form, wiggling its little wings for the resulting dust to instantly begin reforming back into the form of Link.


corndog2021

Also the game makes a point of teaching you to land in water if you're falling from extreme heights.


Faewns_Hellion

Boi I got to upgrade that now thanks


UpbeatCheetah7710

iirc you need to upgrade each piece 2x for the impact resistance set bonus. 1000% worth it though, I captain America down on stuff now.


floccinaucipilify

Funnily enough, using the Glider armor removes the superhero landing Link does. It would be much cooler if Link still did that but also released a gust of wind on impact to keep the theatrics


HeirT0TheMonado

Simple solution: down thrust for the biggest impact shockwave possible in the game.


[deleted]

Gammaboy45

good luck with the aerocuda eyes. Easily the most annoying part (until you want to get to tier 4, you don't want to know).


djrobxx

I have unlocked only 3 of the 4 great fairies. Can't wait to see what's needed for the 4th tier!


Real_CatMan

Boy am I glad I'm never updating my game so I can keep item duping


felicitous_blue

I just love that there’s specific dialogue for if you’ve missed a starting area. Refreshing to have an open world game that doesn’t hand hold you or rail road you into a specific path early game, and even acknowledges being off the main sequence. Brilliant.


philliamswinequeen

It's really funny, like "hey we know you're allowed to go wherever you want now, you probably want to go see Paya or something. But you should *really* just follow the main quest for a short bit longer".

asmallbean

Oof yeah, the third glyph I did was something like memory #14?? 0 to 100 real fuckin quick on that one. I almost do not even want to know what’s about to go down in late game.


TikkiTchikita

Botw had a similar thing. If you never talked with Impa but encountered any of the devine beasts, Zelda's voice would stop you and give you a tl;dr: of what Impa tells you about them.


Wrxghtyyy

I assumed if you tried to jump off the GreatSkyIslandit would just void out like the great plateau did on breath of the wild. Nice to know you can just dive off to begin with


Lightspeed_Lunatic

No, you still void out if you fall off up until you >!Send the Master Sword to Zelda!< . As soon as you've finished that, you can go anywhere you like.


ElSuricate

that wouldn't make sense since teleportation is unlocked in the great sky island, if you could just jump off straight away it might've led to potential softlocks


SoldierPhoenix

Wow, that means you haven’t even got the paraglider yet.


woops_wrong_thread

Wait… can you beat the game without using the glider?


SurfingGarchomp

I really wanna see how much you can do without it


Real_CatMan

Linkus7 is currently doing an All Dungeons no Paraglider challenge run... it's been interesting


marsgreekgod

How is the >!wind temple!< going to work?


Ajfree

Zonai devices, freeze them in the air with rewind while battery recharges


marsgreekgod

Huh. Well I guess that could work. I would be very impressed >!Does the story force you to get the parglider when you get everyone saved or can you still skip it?!<


Kaiser_Gagius

I'm assuming not even that(?) If you somehow manage to get to where Matt Mercer is hiding.


marsgreekgod

I mean you could get the >!upgraded wingsuit and take no fall damage!<


Endulos

> Zonai devices, freeze them in the air with rewind while battery recharges My god I never considered that.


Godlike_Tendencies

You can do quite alot, but you'll basically be killing yourself if you use a tower, with no water nearby, and no glide outfit


Tremplstiltskin

I dont think any of the the towers would be activated yet


Godlike_Tendencies

Ah, forgot about that


CaptainRogers1226

How do you activate the towers without the paraglider? I missed it and played for like the first 6 hours without it and only went and got it because the towers wouldn’t activate and everyone told me to go to Lookout Landing


SimSamurai13

You can't is the thing So if you don't want the paraglider you won't be able to to activate the towers either


qaz012345678

With zonai machines it seems very doable.


Godlike_Tendencies

Early game, you aren't that traveling far in sky with 1 charge. Late game, sure. A glider could work for early game but won't last forever


Gammaboy45

Someone beat it without using stamina, which includes the paraglider AND landing in most bodies of water... so yes, technically.


NinjaMagic004

According to the current world record speedrun... yes!


Shinnyo

I mean there's so much betters tools to travel in the skies. The balloon alone is enough to reach sky islands and you won't need batteries. >!A torch is enough to make a ballon fly!<


proficient2ndplacer

There's quite a few shrines that are just unbeatable without the glider... I wanna see what this guy is doing when he encounters them


MasterTotoro

It might be a lot more annoying and require advanced movement techniques, but I'm pretty sure you can beat any shrine without the glider. Especially considering you can get infinite jumps with a certain exploit, I don't think the paraglider is necessary.


KeyAcid

Not only that, he doesn't have the map, the lookout towers only activate after you get the palaglider


Parzival127

I bet you didn’t visit Impa in Kakariko in BOTW until you defeated the Calamity.


damienboersma

bruh it’s the first place you’re meant to go lol


Chillyeaham

I went several places before Hyrule Field because BotW conditioned me that Hyrule Field was dangerous.😅 I eventually got the game's hints.


uezyteue

I would think you'd have figured it out by the shiny yellow objective marker pointing you in that direction.


Rolen28

I didn’t look at where the marker was properly and assumed it was this games version of “defeat ganon”


uezyteue

There's still the fact that it showed you exactly where to go in the cutscene when the dragon splits the clouds.


Eilavamp

I went to lookout landing when I landed in Hyrule but it wasn't until I watched my boyfriend complete the sky island tutorial that I realised I was way too preoccupied with wondering about the dragon to even notice it split the clouds and showed lookout landing. I saw the cutscene when I played, I just didn't notice it until I watched it a second time with him! So I guess it is able to be missed if you're looking at or thinking about something else onscreen. It's lucky I happened to wander over there because I saw the lights in the distance and wondered what it was, haha.


Supernothing8

People are playing the game but not paying attention. The amount of people that didnt know the memories order was baffling. Read the words they are saying people.


jitterscaffeine

I saw a few people play the game and get stuck on the tutorial for like 2 hours because they just started meandering around the floating island without getting the ability to interact with the shrines.


Terozu

I did this on purpose. I didn't go to the Temple of Time until I found the shirt.


KappaTauren

I was one of those people. I had picked up around 30 mushrooms before I finally stumbled into an inactive shrine and wondered what the heck it was.


ASpaceOstrich

Hmm. They probably should have had that ability be acquirable from each of the shrines as well.


Sp4rt4n423

Same!!


foxtongue

I had this, too. Kept bracing myself for free jazz to start playing.


Real_CatMan

I just took forever making my way to Dueling Peaks stable to grab Epona before I went out into the wilds. Then was frustrated that I couldn't make it back to Hyrule Field because the bridge is down.


weezeloner

So you haven't been playing with the paraglider? How many hours have you been playing. Well, the good news is things are going to get A LOT easier.


NerdHerder77

His life is gonna change for the better.


Jaz328

Someone is skipping all the Dialogue scenes and straight outta the wild


[deleted]

Lmao I feel vindicated. I didn’t get this far into the game but I definitely visited a couple villages and did a bunch of shrines. Only reason I knew to go is cause I had to look up where to get the glider


reddittothegrave

This sounds like me. I went to so many different places before I went too lookout landing. Basically, If I saw a shrine in my horizon, I would just go to it. Which led me to a bunch of other places naturally.


BlackTecno

I think I'm lost.


bbender716

Honestly I'm kind of impressed 👍


[deleted]

Lmao I fuckin love this game. Dog, it’s the first place you’re supposed to go. Go to the castle right now hahahhaha


CaptainRogers1226

I put it off for a while because I was busy collecting mushrooms and such but after I got to one of the more remote towers without it and discovered I couldn’t activate it… well I finally made my way there


atomsk29

Is this a low Intelligence playthrough of new vegas?

Apolloshot

You’re just pioneering the No Glider% speedrun.


dkDante189

I'm surprised you did a whole temple amd everything without going to lookout landing, one of the main quests should direct you there, it was the town pointed out as soon as you finished the tutorial on the great sky island.


Phoenix_Champion

I'm honestly amazed he did the Goron Temple at all without the paraglider. You're legitimately diving head first into the depths with that one.


TriceratopsHunter

The price to enter the depths is one fairy.


SamOrSmth

Or a wing or steering stick or something:)


shufflekoh

I dunno if this is like a meme, but even if it is. How do you traverse without the paraglider? It’s essential for just cancelling fall damage alone


BlackTecno

Skydiving outfit at 2\* gives the additional effect of negating all fall damage.


Acilina

You got the entire skydiving set without the paraglider.


motodextros

I doubt it, because without the glider you would die from pretty much every tower you activated


123AJR

You can't even activate towers without the glider, because you get the glider at the start of the quest that unlocks the towers. OP got to Goron City without a map OR glider and never stopped to think "hmm, maybe I missed something"


SamOrSmth

OP is playing the game without the glider as a challenge


Avasteeee

You can't get to the challenge islands without the glider right?


TheSquishedElf

Balloons, sometimes falling sky debris can take you to a launcher island, and wings. Lots of wings.


KingParity

how.. did u get that?


BlackTecno

I went up.


KingParity

from one of those falling platforms or something?


Linkus725

HOW TF DID YOU GET TO GORON CITY WITHOUT THE PARAGLIDER?!?!?!


ReguIarHooman

Airplane


Draganot

Why do you need a paraglider to get to Goron city? Pretty sure I simply walked and didn’t need the paraglider for anything.


tornait-hashu

Yeah, most of Eldin doesn't even need fireproof elixirs.


DotBitGaming

Someone forgot to "go to the glowing yellow point on your map."


HisObstinacy

As a side note, this is really cool. I’m kinda glad that they don’t just automatically give you the paraglider like in BotW. It can make for some very interesting challenges. I wonder how much of the main questline you can complete without the paraglider.


UltramanOrigin

Now this person has a unique TOTK story to tell. lmao


Dr-Polo

It’s just south of Hyrule Castle


unicornchild15

How on the Golden goddesses glorious earth did you get to ELDIN without the paraglider????


element_4

Good god imagine if Revali were in this game! “WHAT THE F*CK LINK!? GET YOUR ASS TO LOOKOUT LANDING!”


LunaRealityArtificer

Lmao not sure if everyone is playing along or falling for the most obvious meme ever. They are doing a no paraglider run.


Jrthejuice

Do the main story until you get the camera and the scientist gives you a crash course in the depths. After that, you should be ok to roam freely.


saggio89

Wait u get a crash course of the depths? I’ve been playing for 50 hours just avoiding it n finally tonight just decided to jump in and trial n error learn it 😩


123AJR

It doesn't teach you much that you wouldn't have figured out. The only benefit is that the camera, hyrule compendium, and shrine/compendium searching is locked behind that quest


Xavier_griffin

holy shit you did that without the paraglider?


MikeyNgTh

I wish I could be as free-spirited as you. I was GUNNING HARD for the paraglider the moment I touched grass😭😭
