Uncle Ben taught us that with great power comes great responsibility. And then he got himself shot by trying to reason with a guy with a gun instead of just running away. Similarly, Link is bestowed with some fascinating powers inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. He cancreate thingsand manipulate his surroundings, but often lacks the responsibility while doing so.
The sheer freedom the game presents players with allows for game-breaking instances in the hands of skilled players. But the problem with this is that not everyone is a skilled player.

And so, banditVEVO was hit by falling Zonai tech, disrupting their paraglider-assisted descent.
This next one doesn’t have anything to do with Link’s powers, but will be relatable to another Nintendo character, Yoshi. As mechafriend rode towards a cliff, they jumped off their horse for whatever reason. However, unlike in Mario games, their horse kept galloping and unfortunately took a tumble. While that was sad, watching the motionless horse slide off a second cliff and fall again made many of us chuckle when we shouldn’t have.
The next few are all public service announcements when it comes to adventuring in Hyrule. The first one, courtesy ofjack_luddytells us to look out for falling chunks of sky island while flying. The chances of them hitting you are low, but still possible.
