Edit: So as of this morning, the record has been broken by a player in Taiwan appropriately named Vector.  I am proud to say he also used a version of the paracopter :). Here is the video https://youtu.be/YSjquwJdNQU

ZR2 is next.  Thanks for waiting!  

Let me know if you liked the new channel intro.  It took a while to put together.  I am still going to try to slowly improve it with each video, but for now I am satisfied with it.

@gitpusher2400

Crazy how Link can tank 2,000,000 newtons of force straight to the face… but also dies when a Bokoblin pokes him too many times

@burnin8able

I'm now picturing how horrified that one goron running the death mountain cart track minigame must be watching link shoot out of the mouth of the volcano with a vapor cone roaring off him like a literal fighter jet

“I wanted perfection to be the first person to launch out of hell and touch the heavens” 🔥🔥

"To be the first person that launch out of hell and touch the heaven"
Sends chills down my spine

@nubbyboah

Imagine being Ganondorf and you see a 5'3" twink coming at you faster than the speed of sound.

Also the use of the Stormwind decent theme for the final launch is as brilliant as the launch itself was.

@EnricoRodolico

The fact it says "you can't go any farther" when link is literally just laying flat floating upward is hillarious.

@julien827

fun fact, by upgrading the wing suit the bonus set effect is to cancel EVERY fall damage so link can not only break the sound barrier, he can also survive such  a fall

@budgetcoinhunter

And not only did you hit the height limit, you did so with authority too. A shame we didn't have the HUD on so we could measure how hard he smacked the invisible ceiling.

@Crosier5961

13:27 the fact that you got that spinning so fast that it does the eye trick where you think it's going backwards and slowing down at one point, in a video game, is absolutely crazy!

@darreldorigatti862

I don't know why, but I want you to launch the Stable Trotters. This seems too epic for Koroks. Call it the Breezer Space Program.

@KiraKaiten

Now i have a way out of the depths areas without ascend pillars, thank you! Im trying a no fast travel run so the OCO launch will come in so handy

@NealCruco

I consider myself very lucky for finding this video just six minutes after it was posted. It absolutely amazes me what some people are able to do with these games. My goals are a little more pedestrian.

@PlaygroundMafia

The glitchless speedrun for this game is going to be wild.

According to my calculations, the velocity for the launch that reached the height limit was about 19.3 meters per frame, which gives about 579m/s or Mach 1.6886. I sampled 180 frames of the z coordinates of Link moving up from the glitch to calculate acceleration (which seems to be constant in this case) to be .03253m/frames^2. This allowed for using the kinematics formula Δx=vt+(1/2)at^2 to find Link's initial vertical velocity by finding a time in the earlier launch which has about the same position as a time in the largest launch, and setting vt+(1/2)at^2 of the largest launch equal to vt+(1/2)at^2 for the earlier launch. Since the initial vertical velocity of the earlier launch, the time for the earlier launch to that positions, the time for the largest launch to that position, and the acceleration are all known, the only unknown in the vertical velocity of largest launch, which means I could solve for it. The position I used was as Link was near the rock seen at frame 12 of 18:53 in the original launch and frame 12 of 22:58. This gave a vertical initial velocity for the largest launch of about 18.21379m/frame. Assuming the horizontal velocity for Link was about the same as the original launch, this gives the total velocity of about 19.3m/frame, if my math is not wrong. It is quite possible I messed up my math somewhere, but I think the number should be about correct.

23:13 The timing with the music is sick 😮

@eric7591

"He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer f***ing will." This statement has never applied more completely than to this man. Well done, keep up the good work.

@Evanz111

The first time I’ve heard “that day, I was messing around with some fans and stuff” from a YouTuber and not been repulsed by the results. Keep up the amazing work, you’re like a scientist!

@dunerider88

DO NOT skip ahead to 22:09, this video is super interesting and the result is nothing without the journey. Fantastic video.

@blockmath_2048

We can actually determine a minimum speed for Link!

He goes up 4317 m in some number of seconds t. Acceleration due to gravity in Hyrule being g, we know that for a certain speed v, the height reached is equal to v^2/2g. Rearranging this equation, we get v = sqrt(2gh).

The acceleration due to gravity in Hyrule has been determined to be 37.81 m/s^2.

Therefore, the minimum speed for Link to launch from the bottom to the top of the world would have been sqrt(2*37.81*4317) = 571.36 m/s, or mach 1.67.
