What could be more mesmerizing than watching someone tumble down a mountain in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? YouTube user HelixSnake ended up doing just that while attempting to use his shield to snowboard after it preemptively broke. With a few fairies in storage, that only ended the long trek down the mountain.

Following today’s official announcement of Cars 3: Driven to Win, we have additional assets for the game. First up is the Switch and Wii U boxart attached above. Below are some screenshots from the game.

Early on, one popular means of flying in Zelda: Breath of the Wild was done with Octo Balloons. YouTuber mety333 has taken things a significant step further by creating a unique contraption.

mety333 took a metal box and placed it on top of a minecart. Then with the power of Magnesis, he was able to fly across the map and even reach its highest point.

As you can see, there are still plenty of interesting discoveries to be made in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What will players think of next?

Zelda: Breath of the Wild has one type of enemy in particular found in various places of the world that aren’t the easiest to overcome. But YouTuber GamingCrusader decided to up the challenge by not only taking on two at once, but also avoiding all damage entirely. Head past the break for more.
