Well played! Shoutout to being the other octoballoon enthusiast! I'd love to see the count between who used more octoballoons for their version of this run. Also the shield surf on the rails in the intro was a great idea.

if you wanted to avoid using fused weapons altogether, there's a weapon callrd a feathered edge, it's the rito's signature sword, that does the same thing as a korok frond weapon when you swing it, but it does it without anything fused to it, so it's technically possible to do the same thing without any fused weapons

3:32 Whether or not something can float does not depend on how heavy it is, it depends on the density, and since the ball is larger than Link, it could still actually make sense. The weird part is that the ball floats that high above the surface, which would require a really low density.

@thequacken3226 11 ай бұрын

Just an FYI, the reason the hoverstone randomly disappeared at 29:30 is due to how the game handles loading between the depths and the surface. With the exception of a few things, such as dragons, objects have a flag for either the depth or the surface and zonai devices you place in the depths are giving the flag for the depths. Upon reaching a certain height, everything that has a depths flag is deloaded, and that's why the hoverstone disappeared.

I think I saw someone use a fire hydrant fuse onto a shield at the moment they got shocked to drop the shield which made the hydrant stay on, and going into stasis till a fully maxed battery ran out to lag the game enough that they would fall through the ground on a steering stick like with zuggling. It's an easier technique if you didn't need to go into the stasis which uses runes... but yeah not updated and the shrines are all possible, congratulations!

IIRC, the runeless ruleset you were using bans the use of any fused weapons even if they weren't obtained via the Fuse rune - requiring you to destroy the attachment when you pick the weapon up - so you cheated with your guster. Fortunately, while YOU failed to complete the challenge, you DID prove it is possible, because the special ability of the Rito tribe's weapons, which can be obtained in the Hebra region, causes them to act as a guster irrespective of what you fuse them with or even if the weapon is fused, except for gemstones that will overwrite the effect due to turning the weapon into a rod and causing it to shoot the gem's magic projectiles instead of create wind gusts.

So. Floating isn't about weight, it's about density. But pressing a button is about weight. The ball is way bigger than link, so it's probably heavier, but since it is filled with pure air, it has a lower overall density. Thus, it floats and pushes the button, yet link does neither. Technically accurate physics lol
