Nintendo Minute Showcases Breath of the Wild Bow and Arrow Trick Shots
Posted on July 10 2021 by Mike Midwood
Flexibility and creativity are valued highly in Breath of the Wild. There are so many unexpected ways to interact with the world that people are still discovering new ways to explore its systems and challenge themselves. The most dynamic weapon in Link’s repertoire is the Bow. From slow motion to mid-air aiming, Link is more mobile and accurate than ever when firing arrows. You can see some of these impressive feats in this trick shot video from Nintendo Minute.
The first trick shot challenge is perhaps the most interesting. Channeling their inner Tony Hawk, the hosts attempt to shoot down as many apples as they can while shield surfing toward a grove of apple trees. In another, they try to pick off as many fish as possible while gliding down over a body of water, though the weather makes this a complicated affair. Even some simpler shots like shooting though doorways or the eye of a Bokoblin cave prove very difficult, and most of these attempts end up being just that — attempts. It’s really awesome to see this kind of ingenuity in a four year old game and Breath of the Wild continues to provide endless new experiences and fun times to be had.
You can check out this trick shot video on YouTube. There is also a condensed highlight video posted to Nintendo of America’s Twitter page.
