Theory: the reason Link’s weapons break so fast, but the same weapons wielded by enemies don’t have durability at all, is just because Link hits so hard. No one else has enough arm strength to just shatter a claymore against their opponent’s skull.
Never thought of that but considering this now that's true
I always thought the same!
that’s honestly probably true
So much for “master sword man” if you can’t use a sword for more than 2 fights
@@PeterParker-jz8eo idk, i had this thought where after finishing the trial of the sword, the master sword never runs out of energy again (aside from game.mechanics). Mostly because the trial states that you will unlock it's true power by doing so
Just a theory though
Teacher: physics can help you in your everyday life
Students: no it won't
Zeltik: *calculates the angle, mass, impact in a videogame*
I'll admit I had no idea what equation he used to find the mass. I would've just guessed...250 pounds
@@Dseuss3554 He used the density of the average rock, the height of link, and the volume of a sphere
Mat pat has done this since.. years ago.
David Well, that’s not even a measurement of mass, and also a very underestimation of a boulders weight.
@@klauserji The difference is, Zeltik actually makes good content.
“It hits link with over 11 millions Newton’s of force.”
Link: *Takes 1/4 a heart of damage*
Would fuck
Literally
@@virgobro2025 i second that
@@fresh-tea9559 Third
Benjamin Oyarzabal A bat bites link and doesn’t even get through his skin. Link: takes 2 hearts of damage.
Monsters of Hyrule: *Attempt to crush Link with force enough to lift a rocket into space*
Link: *Casually parries with whatever wooden circle he found lying on the ground* Pardon me guys, I'm just here to collect your insides so that I can rub them on my armor to make it blue.
LOL
Literally me this week: Jeez Link, could you GET UP ANY SLOWER after you’ve been hit by the talus!?!
After watching this: ...... Yeahhhh, you take your time getting up, pal!
I 'm surprised he can get up, imagine your average hylian
'Tis but a flesh wound
@@dreamer1292 I saw in a playthrough a hylian withstanding not just one but 3 guardian layers and a moblin attacking it and not getting hurt
omg ikr!!!
@@jave1215 i saw that too, if im not mistaking, was it one of those relics of the past videos?
ive always assumed that one "heart" on the LOZ life bar was equivalent to "how much damage it would take for a standard human to die"
SomeHuman bold of you to assume link is even remotely human-
@@patriciogaming8029 I think he's saying links threshold for pain and death is 20 times the average human
...I guess for me it's only 4x
but then link takes half a heart of damage from a pebble a bokoblin throws at him. Are you telling me a bokoblin throws tiny rocks that half-kill a real person?
@@D3__ depends on velocity. A .22LR b*llet is only 40 gr. And 5.7mm round and can kill a real person. So yes a pebble can half-kill
@@Dseuss3554 yes, exactly this
“What if a Stone Talus hit you?”
Well, realistically, every bone in your body would be obliterated and your organs and muscles would be crushed into a bloody mess.
game over
You might have a bloody nose
But we all know that Links body is made of material stronger than diamond, so getting hit by a boulder does little more than annoy him.
You are done...
Doodles 117
Which is why I said realistically. Link is such a chad that his body can take multiple hits from a giant sentient pile of rocks.
The BotW Link would have sorted out the whole moon problem in Majora's Mask easily - just standing on the top of the clock tower with a pot lid and doing a parry.
@@jonumine6250 that wouldn't solve the problem only further delay it

Use Stasis and then punch it a bunch. Then just wait for it to fly back into space.

@@liminal6669 He can hit it with arrows
@@liminal6669 wait for the last second before impact, then stasis the moon and swing away.
I remember screaming a lot when I met my first Talus. 10/10. Nintendo did a really great job making them intimidating imo
first time i saw a Hinox sleeping, i crept up really slowly....
and booped him with an arrow!
he plucked a tree out of the ground and smashed me to pieces.
Nintendo didnt do a good job with this game. they did an outstanding job with it. truly incredible.
The music really amplifies the fear I remember the first time I woke one, immediately the music gave me the impression I should probably run. The music with the Hinox starts out light then gets heavier unlike the Stone Talus music it starts out super dramatic then turns into a more fun tone
I remember seeing the unwoken Talus in that decline at the centerish part of the forest on the great plateau. While it was my first time playing BoTW, Im a gamer and knew a boss area when I saw one. I noped out of there as soon as I saw there were rocks in the middle of the clearing.
Lol I fought a stone Tallus Jr and won on my first try, after getting flung a mile away
My first stone talus was the magma one I was just exploring death mountain and then I ran away
"It's just a stupid boulder."
"It's not just a boulder, it's a rock, a rock, a rock. It'a a big, beautiful, old rock. Oh the pioneers used to driver these babies for mile."
Andres Pichinte ah yes I remember the good old days, when I saw sea creatures ride on stone gargantuans!
Jesus, Link. They're minerals!
well, for 141 meters approximately (jk love that spongebob reference );)
Now I want to see Zeltik calculate the force of the rock as it runs over Squidward.
Wait did you perhaps did a sponge bob reference When they rode that boulder to deliver that pizza?
So The Hero of the Wild has the most raw strength in the universe, nice
Link is strong as hell
The shrine of resurrection was just a sheikah steroid bath.
Even before the shrine of resurrection Link was a Chad. Did you see all the bodies in that memory? Bokoblins, Moblins, Lynels, just piles of bodies, and Link only scratched his arm.
@@thedustbunny161 probably only happened because he slipped on a rock tbh
@@Chimp380 for real. "damn sharp rocks, cut my arm double blackfliping off of that Lynels back after sinking seventy arrows into the back of its skull."
“What if a Stone talus hit you?” You’d look like raspberry jam.
I made the like count 69 :)
And what about "What if a Stone Talus hits ON you?" Would you go down that rocky road?
would be a very rocky relationship
What about "What is a Stone-Talus hits you from behind?"
Memes Are KEEM -you be rock bottom🤣
You guys must be stoned
Slay it or lay it...
I guess one way or the other, something's going down.
Stone Talus: Throws over 11 million newtons of force
Link, preparing to parry: "So you have chosen *death"*
Zeltik: "With this throw, the Talus was able to generate an unholy amount of force!"
Link: Takes 1/4 heart of damage
Link is built different
or parrys it.
Even with the Max Defense rating (without food buff), Lynels can kill Link in one hit with their explosion attack they do when they scream and slam their weapon hard at the ground. So that must be WAAAY stronger than a Talus.
Marche Very different indeed, I see Links true ability as what all those pro players and speed runners do when they play
SSDARKPIT wait what? That’s never happened to me before, is this the Gold Lynel by any chance, cuz I never really hunted them down.
Talus: *Shoots 11 million Newtons of force*
Link: “Is that all you got?”
Link: ow!
i stubbed my toes on one of the shards of rock! :'(
Welcome to another episode of Link Is Terrifying
or don't mess with Link he will kill you
>Welcome to another episode of Link Is Hot
Fixed it for you
Blitzkringe Corner welcome to Breath of the Wild is what you're saying
@@josealfonso8370 gay tumblr fan fiction much? Ew
I didn't realize you could parry those, I just assumed that was ridiculous and never even tried.
My soul literally dropped out of my body the first time I encountered a Talus fresh from waking out of a 100 year slumber. I was promptly dispatched by the creature and respawned with the understanding of my current place in the universe
Honestly idk what's scarier, encountering your first ever Talus or your first ever Guardian.
Personally I say Talus because it was three minutes of sheer panic, trying to hit it normally before I got squished.
I tried using bombs against that first talus in the great plateau, it didn't even scratch him 😅
"What if a Stone Talus hits you?"
Answer: It'll hurt.
I don't think you'd even be able to feel anything considering how fast you'd be turned into a fine paste upon the floor.
Ohhh it’ll hurt now there’s some news woop-tee-doo
I’m a math teacher and a Zelda fan, so I love this upload! I actually think we can model the path that the “arm” is thrown. I just don’t know if I have the time or inclination to do it as you did. You rock Zeltik!
Shit i would have loved Math and Physics if they had been told this way
Yeah same I would have actually paid attention instead of sleeping lol
"The Talus might come from space"
The Space Pirates abducted a Talus, took it to their lab in Tallon IV, infused it with Phazon and created Thardus: a big ass monster with powers such as geokinesis, cryokinesis and the ability to growl without having any fucking vocal chords whatsoever. It all makes sense now (?)
Imagine waking up after a 100 years only to get the snot knocked out of you by a giant walking bolder.
I’ve had a stone talus hit on me once..we started a relationship, we had a rocky start but really pushed and remained together for the better. We have 2 little pebblets of our own now, I work in the quarry moving rocks and my life is on a roll.
Ok
Relationships are hard, but if your partner is a real gem, they can be the cornerstone of your life. Hope it stays rock solid.
JJPE Morin solid reply! You could say it was hard as rock..
My life is on a loaf.
Cody Risling do you guys get stoned together?
Rock Monster: Throws giant bolder at like with enough force that rivals a rocket.
Link: WTF who trough a pebble at me ?!
Yep, pretty much it
This is why Link would beat Cloud in a fight.
He'd be able to parry the Meteor spell
Mr. FoxHat you saw that video too?
"Threw"
@@kagelynx You understand what I mean lol.
That's why I keep saying he's the strongest Link ever: next to Deity Link.
Link could pretend to be deity link just give him red paint and more makeup and you wouldn’t even know the difference.
@@tobyharris4935 Other than the fact that Deity Link is over 12 feet tall vs BotW Link’s height of about 5 feet and 3 inches. Though some people say BotW link is about 5 foot 8.
What I learned:
Link is a short king
Apple
I always feel a bit wtf every time I’m reminded that Link wouldn’t even come up to my shoulder in height. Yet...the maps always look proportionate to him? So what’s the average height/size of a hylian?
Yo
I'm taller than link
Nice
Anonymous Fellow He’s still sixteen I believe
@@bradohms wait really? Wow then that makes mifa a pedophile right?
She's a zora so she has to be way older than link.
@@bastionunitb7388 How would that make her a pedophile?
This was a really great game theory episode, it's nice to see them doing science stuff again, not so sure about the welsh dude they have hosting though.
Next video:
What if Majora’s Mask dropped the moon on you?
Considering that Termina's moon killed everyone after 3 days,... yeah Link would be dead.
Hiccup Haddock easy, link would just parry it back to irs original place 😃
Half a heart of damage.
he only needed the giants because the golden gauntlets werent in the game
While a normal person would be crushed, Link would just use the pot lit.
"A boulder that dwarves Link"
So literally any rock since Link is tiny
Shoot, I don't need to know what if, I stubbed my pinky toe the other day, and it equaled quadruple the amount of force impact of a Talus rock throw.
1/4 heart damage lol
"We want a rematch between Link and Cloud in Deathbattle!"~FF7 fanboys
Zerltik: For the record Link is able to parry and deflect attacks that have the force of 12 million newtons. Can Cloud strike harder than that?
Link's shield bash just kills Cloud.
You forgot to factor in that in game time makes everyone move incredible slow and that everyone hitting each other would have less impact since the speed they attack is to slow and light to do that much damage.
Link and the protagonist of Minecraft seem to be the strongest people in all of gaming.
And now DB did make a rematch, they used a feat much more impressive for link than the one in this video, and he still lost, people weren't asking for a rematch because they're "fanboys" , they were because the original was wrong.
@@cantthinkofausername5848 That's more because they gave Cloud feats he doesn't actually have, such as Bahamut's speed from an intro cutscene, that it doesn't use during it's fight against Cloud. And I don't know, they seem to nerf Link more than they did making him stronger. Because it's as someone else said about that Death Battle Video where it's just: "let’s see how many things we can have him throw at Cloud without having any kind of look into his stats, character or feats. I honestly guarantee you that that Death Battle was written with the sole intention of 'Woah, this Cloud guy’s actually pretty busted in Versus matches, let’s give him a guy to fight' cause that’s all Link is in that episode: An Obstacle."
As they really did in fact not state any proven strength, such as Breath of the Wild Link does here, adding in how much strength the gauntlets multiply that (which Matpat did a thorough review on that), stacked with red ring, stacked with attack buff foods, etc. Like, a lot of this stuff that adds on and multiplies, the further the stuff you give him. And not just he has more items. Let alone Link's speed, and how fast he is, and how fast he perceives things.
A lot of these things went plainly ignored, just for stating the obvious of Link is a hero, he gets reincarnated, yada yada. Here's lots of weapons he could use. And nothing at all remotely close to this video has shown.
So with them trying to attempt to "correct" their mistakes, they still ended up getting a lot of it wrong. On both sides even.
1:04 *amazing cut zeltik*
Lee Robinson I was blown away
Now we ask ourselves the real question: What on earth happens to a pot lid when Link is holding it that allows it to survive that?
Hey Zeltik, can you do a bestiary series on all of the monsters and beast in B.O.T.W please. It would be pretty interesting to see the enemies in different groups and how they act.
cameron gooslin agreed! Zeltik’s Zelda Universe Bestiary
Almost read that as bestiality series, cuz that would be messed up.
@@derisivepersona798 well how else do Lynels get made?
@@jjgarcia156 when a lion and a horse love each other very much...
I once had a glitch where a Talus' rock throw sent me sliding on the ground for a good distance. I must've been sliding for at least 10 seconds.
These "Zelda Science" videos always seem to make Link look like a God.
is he not?
Basically has 2 Saturn V rockets strapped to his shield arm. More than enough power to be a god.
Seth Ouellette I hope botw2 lets you use link’s fists when unarmed so he can beat Lynels to death with that strength

@@Yooyooyaya they are not tho, as far as the game is concerned. They dont have that boss music and healthbar. They can also be obliterated by ancient arrows which you cannot do the same with the 3 overworld bosses.
Am I the only one that didn’t know that you can deflect a Boulder with a shield? Seriously..
Nope lol
Zeltik, this has to be one of my favorite videos so far! What a rollercoaster! I absolutely love your dedication to figuring out the maths behind this (albeit roughly).
Also that ending just had me grinning, because at that point I'd forgotten Link could parry that attack - what a beast!
Anyway, keep up the good work mate. You're definitely one of the best Zelda youtubers out there, IMO :)
Hi Zeltik, student in mechanical physics here.
First of let me say I really enjoy your content and your videos are awesome. Unfortunately for this one you kinda got mixed up. Nearly every one of your calculation do not work in that context. Skipping the math, the initial speed of the Boulder is 95m/s (assuming the talus threw it at 45° angle, the most optimal for a throw in distance). Then, calculating the acceleration on impact is fruitless since it instantly blows on impact, the way around that is calculating the acceleration on throw witch is the same since the energy is conservative. Assuming the Talus accelerate the Boulder in 0.5s, we get a healthy 24 890 000 N. If you are curious on the math skipped, I'll send it to you.
Wow, that's even more o_o
And this Link doesn't even have the Triforce of Courage as an excuse for his power! Lol
We don't even know what the TOC does.
T. Of Power: immortality, infinite magical energy, super strength, super durability.
T. Of Wisdom: Most likely also gives great magical power since we have seen Zelda using it.
T. Of Courage: The only things I can think of are dark magic protection (like before the Ganondorf battle in OOT), probably what turned him into a wolf in TP, and....I can't think of anything else.
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 there is a theory that it is related to time. The save function of the game and the re spawn after dead can be explayned with it. Also the slowing down time with the bow. T think its a Game Theory video.
@@Zsoltosz1 I am pretty sure BOTW Zelda had the complete Triforce.
Whenever the power of the Triforce is used, the symbol would appear. When Ganon used it in Oot, and in Twilight, only the Power section glowed. The same applies for the Zeldas of those games, only the Wisdom section glowed.
When Link got the Triforce pieces in Skyward Sword, only the parts he obtained glowed.
In BOTW, on the other hand, when Zelda used her powers, the mark of the Triforce appears on her hand, and ALL the sections are glowing: Power, Wisdom, and Courage.
This would explain how she was able to go through an army of Guardians, and then took Ganon himself all alone.
As for the Time theory, I doubt it. In Oot, the Master Sword was responsible for time-traveling. In Majora's Mask, it was the Ocarina and the Goddess of Time, who decided to help via the ocarina.
In Skyward Sword, it was the Timeshift stones and the Gates of Time.
And we know that when Link dies, he just dies. The Fallen Hero timeline exists for a reason.
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 considering how much time traveling is in the series that alone is intrestring. As if Link is predisposed for such things.
Mark on Zeldas hand, probabli true, that would explayn why she did not aged. No idea.
Just out of curiosity. In your opinion what would be the manifestation of "curage" as a power?
Because if i would haw a real life "save" function i would bee a bit balzy XD.
@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770Triforce of courage is what gave him the courage to travel and defeat big monsters
Oh my god, I can’t believe how much of an ABSOLUTE TANK he is. I already saw the power of a lynel charge, he can absolutely pound anything into oblivion
I feel threatened by the title of this video
It would be a real shame if someone well you know
Threw a giant fucking boulder at your head
Yup a real shame
Is it the boulders or the math formulas?
Literally waiting at the end just to hear Clangon's outro music...so good...
I would argue against a few of the assumptions made in the calculations, though I admit the assumptions I would make don't make it any more exciting.
The most important that the rock is solid all the way through and as dense as granite. My reasons being this. 1) the rock breaks upon impact with the ground. 2) this organic or quasi organic creature hurls it's "arm" at you but then somehow regenerates it by slamming itself into the ground and pulling something out.
This implies a couple things, either the creature can control rocks to use as arms or it has some sort of connection to the rock it throws that disconnects. This makes the most sense when comparing the unbroken rock to the broken if the Talus is using earth or rock as something like armor that it can condense over its true form. A true form that is potentially exposed on its weak point.
Since a Talus takes on the traits of the surrounding terrain such as the molten and frozen Talus' elemental traits it seems more likely to me that the Talus controls the land around it and uses it as a sort of armor, rather than it truly being its body. Such would also explain why a smaller Talus may have less relatice sturdiness as surface area and depth can be a major factor while maintaining the same basic form.
I was going to say something similar...
Since the boulders are grabbed from surface level ground, i would assume it's density is less than granite. You would also have to think about how moist the dirt is. And as you said, elemental magic.... unpredictable.
The moral of the story is dirt is heavy.
Thank you! I agree with this a lot more.
I was also think abtsome of the assumptions. For the most part they seem pretty reliable! However I wonder if links falling time is a standard animation that is or is not based on the impact, I'm sure someone knows
Sending this to my old Physics teacher!
Honestly, I think teachers should try their best to incorporate video games or videos of them into their lessons, as I'd think it's a lot more engaging to imagine or see a demonstration of a video game scenario than a lot of the more typical or boring hypotheticals there are in schools.
Side note:
I think I heard about a teacher who either used Minecraft or suggested students use Minecraft as a way to visualize logic gates in electronics, since the humble redstone torch functions as a NOT gate in logic (an inverter of an incoming signal), which can be used to emulate all other logic gates, allowing for players to fully demonstrate certain concepts in-game.
It’s official.
Link’s a cryptid.
And the weapons’ durability isn’t the issue, oh no. It’s just Link.
Anonymous Fellow pretty much explains why Link is the only one in all of Hyrule that suffers from weapon breakage. Really puts into context how bad the Calamity was if even if he fell when he has such great power.
Lord of Uzkulak
Exactly.
And lorewise...the Calamity being onpar with Demise, not Ganon(dorf). Which even if you don’t need the MasterSword to beat back the Malice (although it’s essentially Link buying Zelda a much needed chance to catch her breath), that Cocoon was more than likely Demise Proper attempting to return after rejecting the Zombiefied Ganondorf (and that freaking Seal only sealing Ganondorf’s Soul but...actually pulling the Malice out. No cunning from a mostly dead, tortured corpse. Just the cunning of a much greater evil going Plan C.)
...also?? Disembodied hands in the Zelda Franchise have *never* been good?! The most Neutral we get are the hands controlled by that TotG Automaton to test a Hero Candidate, and the flipping toilet hand yokai with consent issues in various games (MM, Ages, SS. The Ages one gives you its bag of poop. The SS actually molests someone nightly.) And Zant Hands. And the massive wallmaster that chases you in AttP and LBW (with LBW having it as a boss). Bongobongo. WALL AND FLOOR MASTERS in almost every game installment.
The Hand. Isn’t. Good. (Kill It with Din’s Fire. At the very least it failed so bad (possibly twice) that it’s arguably intentional.)
And in the Timelines...Ghirahim is obsessed with going GrabbyGrab. Which...he’s known to mess with (Demise) Seals, the Seal is the same spiral as the Sealed Grounds (which also used a stake in a similar way as the Hand is pushing down on a wound), and it’s the same movement/side as how Ghirahim would try to steal Link’s sword when the hand attacks Link (yet ignores the Malice. It goes straight to Link.)
It's honestly no wonder that Link can parry a charging Lynel if he takes half a heart of damage from that
Zeltik pulling a Game Theory on us
And I'm loving it.
This is nothing like game theory, i don't want to punch zeltic's voice.
I love analytics like these it really gives off a different kind of entertainment that I can continue to enjoy
And yet, it only takes away a quarter heart of health. So the real question? How tough is Link!?
He is god
I remember encountering my first Talus on the plateau. I saw the rock...I raw the wide open area...I knew something was wrong, but I let my curiosity take hold and went to stand on it and survey the area. It started moving, the music kicked in, I actually screamed.
When your so low on zelda content and lore to cover you do... *shivers* MATH!
“Humble Gorons”
*shows goron pushing link off a cliff*
I love applying Maths and Science to video games, it makes the crazy feats in them even crazier.
Excellent work! This very much reminded me of Kyle Hill’s work on “Because Science.” In fact, I almost expected Kyle to pop up at some point. I need to find a way to share this video with him. I’d love to see more Zelda videos like this, though I can only begin to imagine the insane amount of work you put into this.
I have to wonder what kind of power is behind Link’s shield parry, especially since it only works if the timing is perfect.
Kyle hill was the 1st thing that popped into my head when zeltik started analyzing, hes not with because science anymore though, hes got his own channel now called kyle hill
I'm struggling to get around the thought of Talus families.
And Goron families
So Lava is just melted rock... Is that how they cremate their dead? XD
NiceToMeetMew maybe they dont have family units and pebbles are just bits of Talus that break/fall off? A chunk just falls off them as they’re wandering along and they carry on their way not noticing and that chunk starts growing into a new talus/regenerating.
Grants new meaning to the term "lemme smash."
I've heard that it's often a rocky relationship.
1/4 heart lost after taking 11 million Newtons? Either that should be changed in the sequel to BOTW or I’m adopting Link’s diet and workout routine...

Bro. The amount of research and math that went into this video is incredibly impressive.
Also, the part at the end stating that Link is stronger than any monster he could face gave me goosebumps. The Hero of heroes, man.
No, the real strongest monster in Hyrule is Link.
He can with duplicated full inventory of The heaviest items for each category deflect a Lynel-charge with His left arm without even flinching.
The Immortal
It’s not the weapons with broken durability. It’s just Link.
@@anonymousfellow8879?
@@justsomenerd284 he's implying that the weapons breaking in the game are due to links monstrous strength.
You could use the hearts lost at this experiment as a scale to determine Lynel true attack potency (using the same outfits from the video, of course).
Talos' Rock Throw is around Building Level.
Considering how much hearts a Lynel strike takes, the results would be bizarre. City Level or Small Island Level, I suppose.
Still one of my favorite boss themes in all of Zelda. The fact that they even hid the Gamecube startup theme in there makes it so much better.
The final part about how link can parry the attack is something overlooked by matpat in his video on links strength awhile ago. This should definitely make him one of the strongest characters in gaming.
Me: If that hit you right in the front instead of from above it would literally turn you into blood vapor, above would smush you into a nice sauce the bokoblins and moblins would put on their food.
Link: That’s cool, got any pot lids?
Talus: “REECH!!!”
Link: “Oh damn-“ gets hit by boulder and takes 1/4 heart of damage
Link is Meliodas confirmed. That shield parry of his is literally Full Counter.
Okay, the whole thing with the glowy arm in the BotW 2 trailer makes this comparison even better oml.
Hello fellow weeb
Not only can Link survive that hit, he can parry it, with one arm. Maybe you need to revisit your "strongest Link" theory.
Ahh I’ve always loved these scientific and mathematical videos. Granted there were some assumptions and is based on the game engine not real life, but HELL YEAH LINK PARRY IS THE TRUE STRONGEST ATTACK THAT EVER EXISTS!!
Link: parries a flying rock with 11 million Newton
Also Link: can't sprint longer than 10 seconds
Ah, the call of the endangered MatPat. A rare occurrence.
Sometimes Bokoblins will toss stones and pebbles at Link. In real life this *could* kill someone but in BotW it deals 1/4 hearts of damage.
And this is how Zeltik became Vsauce3
CrazyKingBest *game theorist 2
There's already a Vsauce3
Corrupted Avatar, I was gonna say that, but the title is just like Vsauce3’s
C Hart, O know it’s that the video is adding physics to video games, and the title is just like the titles in Vsauce3
Honestly, you are my favorite zelda theory channel. All of your content keeps me interested and they're funny! Keep doing what you're doing!
I find the story about any rock creatures from the zelda series of the franchise to be absoutly magnificent. What a great story to listen in this video!!!
Asteroid comes crashing down
Hyrulian: We're all going to die!
Link digs in heels and clenches butt cheeks with the might of a god
Reminds me of classic Game Theory but without the shit jokes.

MatPat’s sexist jokes did me in.
More Austin censoring himself out over the broken physics. Less misogynic or sex jokes.
Or the shit theories
@@anonymousfellow8879 i only watch Austin on gametheory nowadays. wish he had his own channel
schildiish
SAME. I love his theories! But it got to the point it just isn’t worth slogging through it trying to see which ones are his or not.
Like...he got the channel “in trouble” with censoring buuuut, not MatPat and his sausage parties? (Yeesh Mat. You used to have a wider fanbase than...whoever you’re catering to.)
@@anonymousfellow8879 It's mostly kids demanding fnaf again... so sick of fnaf already.
I literally start the episode few seconds and wait for the dear .... and his classical music
Something I'd find amazing for botw 2 is if there were maybe one or two talus mountains. Imagine climbing on a mountain looking for koroks or something like that and then it just rises out of the ground and start moving. That would be such an experience.
“What if a stone talus hits you?”
It’d be owchy
So everyone talking about how hard it hits, but not at how hard Zeltik worked on this. This calculation is crazy man! Keep it up Zeltik
Hyrule Castle theme plays*
Me: Zeltik stop talking!
Theory that Link is still left handed in BotW but he realized that his left hand was more useful with a shield than a sword, creating the absolutely insane force he can put out with a parry.
I am the first hylian here
A talus attack my house in kakoriko village it was scary it destroyed the front falf of my house
Link: *tanks a 11 million newton hit*
Also link: *dies to a gang of chickens*
Also link gets beat up by the lady at the flower maze shrine
People should do more of these “science of BotW” videos
Science of the Wilds?
Zeltic: "The three types of stone talus: Fire, Ice, and normal."
Luminous stones: "Let's just pretend that we're not here..."
huh, i guess I'll take a nap and see if they manage to hit me.
I've been binge watching all of your videos this weekend and it makes me so excited for Breath of the Wild 2!
Me after reading the title:
This is gonna be a good one.
My physical science teacher really screaming I told you this would come in handy
took me back to physics class ^^' thanks for that video, it was really entertaining and educational for some reason xD
I was always surprised that my maxed set of soldier’s armor cut down the damage taken from the thing down to a quarter of a heart. You don’t have to be a master of physics to know that being smacked by a literal giant rock is imparting massive, lethal amounts of force, enough to kill most people outright, or get them into critical condition if they survive.
I'm a simple man. You upload, I watch. Click like.
The lack of a subject in the final sentence makes your comment sound like Jeb Bush's "Please clap" request from his 2016 Republican Primary campaign.
@@wulfherecyning1282 You really need a life.
@@cloudstrife6435 Beep boop, I am a robot.
I love how link takes 1/4 heart of damage as he is talking about how strong the talus is
Even after a hundred hours in this game, coming across a talus still makes me jump
Squarespace Employee 1: "Alright, who are we sponsoring today?"
Squarespace Employee 2: "NintendoBlackCrisis!"
Squarespace Employee 3: "Smallant1!"
Squarespace Employee 4: "Pay Raid Shadow Legends to sponsor the 10,000th person on TH-cam?"
Squarespace Employee 5: "Let's sponsor Zeltik again."
Squarespace Employee 1: "Brilliant idea, Squarespace Employee 5!"
Good video dude, keep doing stuff like this and you’ll easily win over the classic Game Theorists subscribers
11 million Newton's of force...
2 things:
1) Why can't Link lift boulders, or heck even a Talus in this game!?!?
2) If that's all from the Triforce of Courage, how strong would he be with the Triforce of Power???
