A controversial Zelda thing

[The_real_cal_howard]

So, why exactly don't we consider that whole "OoT Link shoots his arrow into the sun to get fire arrows" thing? I never really considered it until now, but I'm pretty sure that's what the scene is implying (Skip to a little after 2 minutes).

 

[PaChi2]

Stellar range arrows? lol.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Top kek, but I was more talking about the speed factor.

 

[Eficiente]

That would be Interplanetary range

 

[PaChi2]

Interplanetary arrows... now we are talking about something cool.

can it be cal'd? Tho it probably is an outlier.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I've made a joke calc a while back here. Guess it's not a joke anymore.

Double the result, as I never calculated the way back.

 

[Eficiente]

Zelda is too serious for that feat, but yeah Interplanetary range arrows looks possible.

 

[Dark649]

We already discussed in the far past why this is mostly game mechanic and extremely undereliable.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Can't be game mechanics if it had a curscene. Also, that's not what game mechanics are.

 

[FateAlbane]

Stellar range arrows? lol.

Get on her level.

 

[PaChi2]

MFTL+ arrows sounds legit.

Also, how the *** is supposed to come back from the sun?

 

[FateAlbane]

/\ This is exactly what I was thinking when I looked at the feat here.

"Wait, how did that arrow hit the sun and came back? Or am I missing something?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Because lolfiction

 

[RadicalMrR]

The arrow would have to use the Sun's gravity to slingshot itsself back down to earth.

 

[Dark649]

This must be a Fun and Games Board Thread under disguise because that feat is and was deemed as an inconsistent outlier [Mainly because it's a glitched cutscene] in various threads, which i hope to not bring here because they were about downgrading the verse.

 

[Eficiente]

"And why were they on fire if they were in space?"

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Same threads were saying Link is Hypersonic and Island level.

 

[Dark649]

By checking the video, it's oblivious to see that glitches, hacks and game mechanic were used to affect said cutscene, this is why it's inconsistent.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I'm sorry, what? This literally makes no sense.

 

[Dark649]

I'm sorry, what? This literally makes no sense.

Read the comments, the player hacked the game in order to perform these and are unreliable.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

That's a blatant lie. Check any video or wiki of that entire scene and it's clearly not the case.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Dude hacked the game to fly and jump. Entirely different.

 

[Anonimoe7875]

.-.

 

[Dark649]

Again with this, it will be rejected like last times. Can Link shoot an arrow to the sun in all other games in the series?, no because this is game mechanic glitch and Oot 3D was made to retain most of the glitches of the original game.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

You need to re-read this page

Also, you're still not telling the truth as there's no glitches that involve fire arrows

"Can Link shoot an arrow to the sun in all other games in the series?"

Can Link bust moons to large stars? Can Cloud bust solar systems? What about Sora?

I don't care if this doesn't go through. Call it an outlier, or say it doesn't reach the sun. Faulty reasoning is what I do care about.

 

[SomebodyData]

My only question is, are you sure it goes around? It looks more like a ritual than it actually going around the sun.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

This is a good point. I have no reason to see why it wouldn't go to the sun, as randomly firing in that direction should serve no purpose, and wouldn't need the sun to be out. Though that could be a case for it not coming back.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I agree with SD, it's more like the ritual involves firing the arrow into the sun, maybe.

 

[Antoniofer]

I could not known about LoZ, but being a summoning ritual sound pretty rasonable considering the nature of the serie; I wouldn't buy the "shot the arrow to the sun, it circle the sun, and later come back"

 

[Reppuzan]

@Matt

I rewatched the video and checked the Zelda wiki, the arrow stops halfway and drops onto an island for Link to pick up. It didn't go all the way to the sun and slingshot back.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Then I see why this wasn't accepted. Game mechanics and glitches isn't the reason.

 

[PaChi2]

close this, then.

 

[Dark649]

Game mechanics and glitches isn't the reason.

See, i was right.
