Okay but...banana for scale?

Yeah exactly - especially in shrines, they want to give you the freedom to activate a switch using a crate, a metal box, four treasure chests glued together, a bunch of ice, etc, but not Link himself.

Link is 10 apples in mass, a Smurf is 3 apples tall, can we now finally switch to the Apple system of weights and measures?

I’m guessing it might be so that Link can fly around easier, or maybe so players can’t use his weight where they are supposed to use some other object. Just yesterday I came across the Hudson sighn that is supposed to be couner ballanced and of course Link was too light for that even though it seems like a person’s…

An excellent use of Sir Bedivere’s larger scale.

It’s very cool but I stopped using it after around an hour because it is literally too efficient, to the point where it had trivialised traversal (and traversal based puzzles) and eliminated the need for creativity.

Agreed. The one downside is that the air bike is relatively slow compared to other contraptions you can build. I wish you could fly on the wings indefinitely, it would make it so much more fun to fly around. 

I use this thing all the time! It made the Goron dungeon trivial. You can tell they designed all these mine cart tracks and puzzles for you to navigate, but I just used the air bike to fly around them, then launched my goron friend from the bike in midair rather than construct a path for him on the ground.

Hey there! This is the owner of the Kino Gaming TikTok channel that is linked in the article. I’ve been getting a lot of comments saying Uncle Dane did it first, and his video is great! He 100% got to this first. However, I had actually never seen his video when making my content, and was actually referred to this…

And 3 fans would use more precious battery life. 

The problem would be to align the fans properly, since they don’t snap to neat angles on the steering stick. Also, with this design you just fly straight when you don’t touch the stick, and go almost 90 degrees up when you pull it back. Using more fans in a 45 degree angle wouldn’t work for it. 

Definitely does. I’ve noticed with the bicycle style it can sometimes be difficult to turn, resulting in flipping and falling off, though this could also probably be fixed with a stabilizer

The real power of the air bike is that it doesn’t have the silly distance restriction that most vehicles you make have. I’d much rather fly around on a wing or a cool contraption but anything you can use as a base for the vehicle will disappear after a certain distance.

Since it seems the distance restriction is only…

I wonder if instead of a bike, a trike design with three fans may work better. 

What’s really impressive about TOTK is that it lets you do whatever you want and it’s also a good game. I can’t think of any other games that balance these so well.

“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Exactly, like I made the same comparison on another article and someone called bull shit, like nope compare a modern Ford Ranger, to the most popular body/bed size F-150 in the 90's with was short bed extended cap, and the dimensions are REALLY close. And that F-150 was considered a full size truck.

At least give us a wheel option like this. I’m too lazy to photoshop these wheels on the blue xlt up there. 

Step one: wait ~5 model years for Ford to figure out their biggest mistakes first.
