This item functions much like previous 'gliders' in the franchise, such as the [[Deku Leaf]], or [[Ezlo]]'s gliding ability in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. This time, Link can use the Paraglider for longer than ever before, as it only consumes stamina at a slow rate. It can be used to glide over large gaps, or to break falls, much akin to the [[Sailcloth]]. | This item functions much like previous 'gliders' in the franchise, such as the [[Deku Leaf]], or [[Ezlo]]'s gliding ability in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''.

==Trivia== | |||
*The Paraglider could not be possible in real life: | |||
**It doesn't actually have a surface area large enough to support an individual with the mass of Link. In reality, it should require a considerably larger sail. | |||
**If hit by horizontal winds, gliding with the Paraglider effectively nullifies altitude loss due to gravity, which is close to impossible in real life without vertical winds, winds with extreme velocity, or exerting resistance. | |||
**Link's vertical stance by hanging from the Paraglider would focus too much weight distribution on a single point, which in reality would significantly prevent him from moving in any direction but down. That is, without going into steering, which is a whole other problem on its own. | |||
*On its sail, it's emblazoned with a [[Rito#Breath of the Wild|Rito]] symbol, suggesting that it was manufactured by them. | |||
*The Paraglider is the only wood/fabric made item in the game that both doesn't catch on fire at [[Death Mountain (Breath of the Wild)|Death Mountain]], and is unbreakable. | |||
