Someone ( ash6418 ) is writing a whole fanfiction based on the concept of this video. The dedication is real; go support it: archiveofourown.org/works/37646002/chapters/93975556

People call Revali an asshole, but we now know that the culturally appropriate term is “cloacahole”. Thank you Kleric for righting this wrong.

Imagine you tell some Twink boy to fuck off and 30 minutes later he's 4 miles in the air speeding twords you with nothing but a rock

Now that Totk is out, Revali is rolling in his grave at the hundreds of new ways Link could potentially reach Medoh if it were still around

Revali: "You have no way to make it to that Devine Beast on your own!" Link: "Let go of your earthly tether. Enter the Void. Empty, and become Wind."

Plot twist: the reason Revali said Link couldn't make it up there was actually because of the collision detection, not the height

It would be genuinely terrifying if you were Revali and seeing Link just fly with a box and some balloons after you made fun of him.

This implies that Link would go out of his way to manipulate and completely break the laws of physics just to prove someone wrong

Ravali is having some edge lord alone time up on his divine beast, suddenly in the distance there is a sound. "Is that thunder?" He wonders as a distant rumbling reaches his ears. No the sun is bright with nary a cloud in the sky. He begins to look around as the sound continues and seems to be getting closer. He is left dumbfounded as a chaining fiery explosion crests the side of Vah Medoh. Just as suddenly as it began the explosions cut off and with a sick wet slap a bloody and blackened body lands on the divine beast. Ravali is taken back as a fairy pops out of the corpse, Link stands up drawing his sword ready for their 1v1.

Someone really sat down and played this game so much that they figured out you can set off 500+ bombs to propel yourself towards a giant mechanical beast because a rude chicken called you a loser

I cannot stop laughing because i just imagined that revali smugly looked back down at link to see his reaction after he flew away, only to look on in terror as link is rapidly running his way through the literal air up to revali with a completely straight face

I feel bad for the version of Link that could only think to blow himself up 550 times to prove some bird wrong.

Imagine being Revali and seeing Link doing these things like the moon jump or the bomb arrows. Also 10/10 job with matching the explosions to the music and beat.

Revali trying to prove he is better than link by doing something link inherently can’t do is so silly to me. Like what if link challenges Revali to a thumb wrestle…

I'm imagining Link trying to explain each of his methods to Revali, and when he gets to the moon jump he's just like "don't ask me, I jumped on a horse, jumped on another and then I started flying"

Imagine the fear you’d feel as Link jumps between a few horses, then begins jumping off the fucking air molecules to come kick your ass.

I can picture Link bombing himself onto the beast as Revali watches in horror and Link landing in front of him, bloodied and skin charred and blood dripping from his nose, and Link going “you were saying?” before collapsing dead on the ground

Ravioli watching in horror as Lonk casually breaks the laws of physics to prove him wrong

Turns out Revali wasn't referring to Link's ability to reach Vah Medoh, he was actually referring to Link's ability to activate Vah Medoh's collision

I like to just imagine Revali moving Vah Medoh in several ridiculous places in Hyrule in a desperate attempt just to prove this elf boy with supernatural climbing powers wrong on a bet

Link: Princess, can I borrow the Sheikah Slate for a day? Zelda: For what? Link: I want to make Revali look like an idiot.

Revali: “There’s no way to get up to the divine beast on your own!” Link: *Blows himself up 550 times* Revali: “Uhhhhhhhh. . .”

I love that moon jumping silliness is not canonical enough but splitting a timeline in two and merging it back together while on a horse is perfection

I like to imagine link repeatedly went back again and again to ravioli's beast with a different method each time, starting the day ravioli said he couldn't get up there.

Imagine being Zelda watching that goof you hired as your 5th Champion spend dozens of hours getting 550 arrows and bombing himself in anger to fight a sassy bird.

Balloons - Makes sense. Flying machine - I understand how that works. Bodily-harm 1&2 - Seems perfectly reasonable. Wind-bomb - I understand how that works. BTB - I'd love to know how many attempts it took to aim that right. Rock - uh... what... Moon-jump - Common enough that it doesn't phase me much. Horse - WTF Bomb arrows - Why? Also how, but mostly why.

I can just imagine Revali laughing on Vah Medoh after taunting Link and then suddenly seeing a trail of explosions coming towards him

“Mom can we get ultra hand?” “No honey we have ultra hand at home” Ultra hand at home:

Revali: "You have no way of making it on top of that divine beast on your own" Link: *proceeds to phase thru the ceiling of the divine beast from the surface hundreds of feet below with the help of magic green hand*

No, no , no, you've got it all wrong, Link isn't fueled by "reverse psychology", no, he is fueled by spite in its purest form.

Revali standing on the Devine Beast right after insulting link, looking down at the village chuckling to himself, all happy in his insult, only for his eyes to grow wide. He sees link rapidly jumping in mid air, eyes locked onto Revali, a permenant scowl on his face.

I love the idea of link stealing Zeldas sheika slate, going all the qay to goron mountain, stealing two minecarts and punching the laws of physics in the jaw just to prove Revali wrong and kick his ass.

Revali's first mistake was mocking a lunatic who will blow up his problems and eat insects to spite demons about how he can't fly

I love the idea that behind that emotionless face lies a hidden rage so extreme and palpable that it allows Link to bend- nay, *break* the laws of physics to his will.

but like. imagine being revali hanging out on the divine beast wondering if that comment about not being able to get to the divine beast might have been going a little too far. you haven't seen link in a couple of days, after all. did he take it too hard? you're starting to get worried. you look out to the landscape below and notice something weird on the nearby mountain. it looks like a fireball, slowly rising into the sky. you stare, entranced. you pass over it and notice that it's really loud. is that actually some kind of... extended explosion? you aren't close enough to see what's causing it. vah medoh soars away from it, much to your disappointment. you want a closer look, but trying to fly over there on your own power seems... ill-advised, so you'll have to be content with watching it from where you are. sure, vah medoh will circle back around eventually, but what are the chances that the fireball will still be there when it does? it'll probably fizzle out or fly away or something, right? halfway through its flight path, the fireball is still going strong and you start to rethink this assessment. maybe you will get a closer look at it after all. three quarters of the way through its flight path you realize the fireball might actually crash into vah medoh. you're not particularly worried - this thing was made to survive much stronger attacks than some random self-sustaining explosion or whatever it is - but you are excited to get a closer look. a few more minutes pass and you hear not only explosions but also something that sounds like... yelling? but that can't be right, for there to be yelling there'd have to be a person in there, and no person could possibly survive that long being continuously exploded and/or set on fire. well, maybe a goron could, but it doesn't sound like a goron. you watch as the strange yelling fireball rises up just high enough to pass over the leading edge of vah medoh. you try to look at it and see something in there. it looks like a person. it sounds like a person. it explodes one final time and then stops exploding, collapsing to the ground and revealing itself to be _link._ for a moment, nobody moves. link is winded, you are astonished. he slowly pushes himself up into a sitting position. he looks up, grins triumphantly at you, and chuckles smugly. _link exploded himself several hundred times, breaking every law of physics you can think of in the process, just to prove you wrong._ you don't even get the chance to try to process this before he kicks your cloaca.

Bokoblin: "Woah, is that a firework show?" Moblin: "No, that's just Link blowing himself up."

Based on the fact that humans need the muscles of the gluteus maximus to stand on two legs, the Rito must have butts, as unlike normal birds they stand up straight and don’t lean forwards. In conclusion, Revali *does* have a butt to kick.

Imagine the abject horror Revali would fear had Link flown up to Vah Medoh on a crate lifted with monster guts.

All of the champions are great. Mipha is a caring, loving companion Daruk is a cheerful, courageous rock eating dude Revali And Urbosa is a badass warrior who cares deeply for Zelda

Revali: ‘’There is no way than you can make it up there! 😂’’ Link: *STARTS FLOATING ON THIN AIR AND BREAKING ALL LAWS OF PHYSICS BY ONLY USING A ROCK AND A BOW* Revali: ‘’Ok, *_WHAT THE FU-_* ‘’

I genuinely would not be surprised if the TOTK devs saw this at some point and thought “you know, our players are literally making flying machines with half-baked mechanics never intended for that. Why don’t we just… give them a modular system to create things and see what happens.”

I think a lot of people forget why Revali is such an ass to Link. It's not just because of his crush on Zelda. From our perspective, he has no reason to dislike us other than jealousy and selfishness. But if you look at it from his perspective, it actually makes a lot of sense. All the Champions were born with their powers... except for Revali. Revali was a talented individual among the Rito, hailed as a local hero for his work ethic and archery skills. Everyone loved him, praised him for his diligant work, and he only aspired for greater heights, it was never enough, he could always aim higher. And with that, he created something entirely new: Revali's Gale. When Link came along, suddenly Revali was no longer in the spotlight, and he wasn't used to that. Some kid from a little town in the country got a shiny sword to kill Ganon, all because he was born destined for it. That left a bitter taste in Revali's mouth, Link didn't earn his title, not like Revali did. In fact, none of the other Champions did. They all had their powers from birth. Revali invented his.

Takes the "easy way up", Divine beast: no collision Glitches hes way up, Divine beast: no collision Blows himself up 550 times: Divine beast: He is worthy!

I love the progression of this video - Step 2:Use a mine cart to lift another mine cart into the air and thats it, you're good to go. Step 8:Ok so, break the time line into two and make your other self go to the other side of the map while you stay in a position on the oposite direction of the beast, then reunite the dimentions and use the shock of the universes coliding to go to the beast and kick that birds ass.

Ain't no way this guy spent all this effort proving a cocky bird person wrong... well worth the effort.

It's hilarious how it is within our power as players to "create a time split"

the bomb arrow method definitely sends the strongest message. Who's going to mess with the dude who just spent three hours setting grenades off with his face to get to you?

Revali: you cant get there on your own Link: and i took that personally

I love how the devs took the time to have the “Divine beast, Vah Medoh” thing on the screen but have no collision

Revali: oh you must pardon me! I forgot you couldn't reach the divine beast on your own! Link: 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚔

Don't worry editor, even if no one else noticed you perfectly lining up the explosions to the notes of the music, I did.

This kind of insane determination and bullshittery is why Hylians rule hyrule, in a world where they live alongside flying birdfolk archers, rock-eating, fireproof volcano-dwellers, giant amazon warrior-women, and nigh-immortal fish-people. Because they have the audacity to do the impossible, regardless of what anyone tells them.

The idea that Revali pissed off Link enough to the point where Link learns how to traverse alternate timelines in order to kick his cloaca is hilarious.

I love the headcannon that link is so stubborn he will break the laws of time and space just to prove revali wrong

"Build up enough kinetic energy to kill a Hinox" The fact that Link is canonically more durable than a Hinox should Terrify Revali

Just the mere thought of Revali looking down from Vah Medoh and just seeing the pillar of explosions work it's way up and just questioning his entire reality is comedic gold 😂

Revali made me see Link's permanently serious face in a better light: I use to think he was just boring, but if I had to deal with having such an asshole as a colleague I can't afford to have a fight with, I would resolutely refuse to engage as well

I like to imagine that link did all of these one after the other, continually braking the laws of ohysics and his bones to come up only to jump back down before revali can say anything, just to proove a point.

"Canonically Link cannot jump upwards infinitely." ... But, ah, he can canonically float around with a rock shield?

Revali shivering in fear once he starts hearing a string of explosions getting progressively louder after he talked some smack to Link.

This makes Link look like the pettiest man alive, and I love it

The mental image of Revali looking down from Vah Medoh and seeing Link just floating vertically upwards towards him is just amazing

the worst thing about the phrase "kicking his cloaca" is that in addition to excreting bodily wastes, the cloaca also acts as the bird's sex organ, so link's essentially kicking revali in the butt _and_ nuts at the same time 😭😭😭

What drove humanity forward was not ingenuity, it's spite.

kicking a cloaca is both an ass-kicking AND a groin attack, making it extra effective.

Link killing octoroks to balloon his way up too revali on a wooden box and kick his ass is my favorite interpretation of his character, days spent systematicly hunting monsters to near extinction just to disprove a smug bird and beat him in combat, truly the path of a dedicated hero.

Revali- its over link I have the high ground link- begins exploding rapidly

I like how several of the broken mechanics used here were later implemented as key features in Tears of the Kingdom

Love how it was edited so the bomb arrows were blowing up to the beat of god-shattering star during parts of it

If I were Ravioli and saw Link survive 550 bomb arrows, get launched into the sky, and land on the Divine Beast that only he can reach, I would give up right there.

This is why I love Zelda gamers. When they are told “they can’t,” they always find a way to get creative to prove that they *can.*

Link is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three Moblins in Hyrule Field... with a tree branch, with a hecking tree branch.

And now, with the discovery of zonai devices... Link goes into the forbidden depths of hyrule castle, stealing Raraus arm, not caring about the consequences, hyper-focused on his hatred of Revail. Then he finds two fans and a steering stick. And the rest is history.

"You mount a horse, you mount a different horse and then everything gets whacky" Perfect complete moonjump explanation 10/10 can do the trick now

- You can't make yourself into Vah Medoh, fool. - Cause I can't fly? - No, because it has no collisions

I love the image of Link riding a box, held aloft by Octo-balloons like Jack Sparrow on his sinking dinghy, coming to kick Revali's feathered ass.

"you mount a horse, you mount a different horse and then everything gets wacky" He explained that better than people do 😂

But just imagine the Rito in the village below Link watching him go up to the divine beast over and over again, defying their knowledge of the universe and it's gravitational laws, only to phase through the stone bird and fall.

I like to think Link did all of these in succession of one another just to piss Revali off

Now we got TotK everything, we have infinite ways to make it up to that Divine Beast on his own.

Revali: How did you get up here? Link: I exploded 550 times.

The thought of Link detonating 550 bombs under him one by one to slowly inch up to Vah Medoh, while staring Revali straight in the eyes is one of the most glorious things I've is one of the one most glorious things I've ever imagined.

Revali: "It's over Link, I have the high ground" Link: "You underestimate this game's physics engine!"

the construction of this video is otherworldly... the narrative and storytelling... the botw captions... the rhythmic bomb arrow montage... the homoerotic undertones... Truly superb from all angles... Thank you, for this...

Zelda when she finds out link stole her Sheikah slate Zelda : LINK WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU……. *sees link with 550 bomb arrows exploding himself repeatedly until he reaches Val medoh* *sees link wind bombing himself to Vah medoh* *sees link yeeting himself to Vah medoh* *sees link randomly floating in the sky with peppers * *sees link bouncing that boi* *sees link defying laws of gravity* *sees link kicking revali in the cloaca* Zelda : 👁️👄👁️

imagine being ravioli and seeing Link come flying at you at high speeds with a rock attached to his arm

i can just imagine Revali adding on more and more rules (No sheika slate, no fairies, etc) and getting more and more shocked to see link keep getting up there, with Link looking more and more unhinged each time he arrives. XD By the time he's come in off the Epic Moblin Bounce with murder in his eyes, Revali's gone "Alright, I give! You win! You *can* get up here on your own", but Link is STILL finding new and improved ways to literally break the laws of physics to get up there and rub it in his face. Revali now has too many nightmares to be able to sleep, as he fears this...This human shaped cryptid jumping up to his perch at 2 in the morning just to glare at him again.

I imagine link just snaps and goes “No dick! No balls! And probably no butthole!” at some point when Revali sasses him too much.

revali watching in horror as link breaks tha laws of physics And himself

what Ravali *meant* by "you have no way of making it up to that Divine Beast on your own!" was that it would be physically impossible for Link to make it onto Vah Medoh due to the fact that it doesn't exist

Ravioli: "lol dumb hylian can't fly" Link: *Observe*

5:21 "We're disregarding the laws of physics now" Wait.... Just now?!?!

I love to imagine link of of sheer spite starts just jumping of the air to cause violence

"Link...what the f*ck was that!?" "550 bomb arrows."

i love how revali is a bird and is flexing his completely unique ability to fly

The pure spite towards Revali in this video is both hilarious and something that is completely understandable as Revali is, in fact, a prick.

I'm imagining Ravoli casually flying up to the Divine Beast, turning around to see if Link begged for help yet, only to see 12 different Links running off to do various physics glitches/exploits to reach Ravoli, with each Link falling directly on Ravoli's head ass-first... ...only to pass through both Ravoli and the Divine Beast.

I imagine moon jump is just Link gaining the ability to fly through sheer spite

Moon jump is hilarious to me, link gets so mad at this underappreciation of his power that he summons his stand [Stairway to Heaven] and ascended to kick Revali's ass

"We're disregarding the laws of physics now" ONLY NOW???
