Something happened today in Breath of the Wild that just can't be allowed to happen... but it did anyway.
So I was at this lake on top of a waterfall with these floating platforms with Octorok balloons tethered to them, 1 strong Lizalfos on each. And one of the platforms had a chest on it. It was early game, and gosh was I underpowered but man I really wanted that chest!
What to do? I had a wild idea. So I just stasis-ed the chest, and when I approached the Lizalfos, they raised the platforms, but one platform had the stasis-ed chest blocking it, so it kind of slided sideways underneath it, so when the platforms was rising, the stasis-ed chest was underneath them, the stasis went off and the chest was in the water! Then I just waited for the current to drift it down until it was out of reach for the Lizalfos arrows. I put a cryonis pillar underneath it and soared down to open it. Royal Broadsword, 15 minutes after leaving the plateau. Boom.
Everyone talks about the open world and how pretty it is but it's moments like this that makes Breath of the Wild my favorite game <3
