One of the NPCs in the Zonai Survey Crew mentions the towers and states that "WE can use them to launch OURSELVES into the sky", so the average Hylian definitely can use the towers to launch.

[@Koyubi-Official]

derranged hylian farmer strands himself in the sky in a lapse in judgement overshadowed by his stunning display.

[@adamstanton5313]

Yeah! I’m stranded in the sky! Wait what?

[@NationX]

The Average Hylian: “I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement and I don't expect to survive“

[@YourAverageCarrot]

Get this on the gazette

[@jackwhat5969]

That would definitely be the headline that Traysi and Penn would write.

[@Gigi4u]

Hyrule times: Hylean stranded in the sky Hylean stranded himself on the great sky island after forgetting to plan a way back down. He's been throwing down notes taped on rocks. One reads: "I'm stuck up here and am currently chased by strange robots" Side adventure Quest reward: 10 Rupees and an acorn.

[@eeveestar6826]

One of my favourite infuriating memories of TOTK was struggling to climb Hebra Peak to reach the Wind Temple, having to chug stamina items, while Tulin was just slowly flying upwards next to me. I definitely remember being jealous and grumbling under my breath "Stupid Ritos and their stupid flying wings" So a Rito could probably reach the Sky Islands

[@tbotboy1320]

Tulin is special he's one of the only rito that can actually fly

[@eeveestar6826]

Penn can fly, he literally goes "Soar long!" and takes off. The five Rito sisters also took off with no updraft in the Recital at Warbler's Nest shrine quest in BOTW Tulin is special because he mastered wind control, not because he's the only Rito who can fly. I think they got rid of the whole "Ritos need updrafts to fly" thing in Tears anyway

[@GabrielCauvin]

​@@tbotboy1320all ritos can fly,but not all ritos can spontaniusly generate wind drafts

Video Idea: how would (or could) the average person survive the depths if they accidentally fell into one of the many openings with 24 hours before a rescue team comes to find them? (Not video title)

[@ZiptoZapto]

This makes me realize just how absurd Link must seem to everyone around him. He's practically a walking god that doesn't explain what the heck he's doing. You don't think about this when you play the game, but if I were an average Hylian, I don't think I'd want to mess with the guy carrying... a stupid amount of stuff.

[@unknowable4147]

[@SonOfHestia]

[@eebydeebyz]

⁠@@villsgoofyahhcontentI saw the same guy fighting what looked like a horriblin with a soup ladle! I was just trying to research new cave species and (possibly?) zonai ruins.

[@RoseBleueDuRosierSec]

Honestly, if zonai hot air balloons only last for 2 minutes, we probably could ask around Hateno for better fabrics and make our own, there's a designer and a chemist there who specializes in fabric integrity and dyes! We also can make fruit alcohol for fuel, by distillation, which is more energy dense than wood...

[@orngjce223]

Holding onto a paraglider's bars might be difficult for many people, but you can easily make a climbing harness out of hemp or sisal rope and use that to support most of your weight. This would allow most people to use a paraglider fairly easily. Similarly, using rope solves other problems, such as hauling things up near-vertical cliff faces. Tie a rope around a large boulder or protrusion at the top of a mountain and you can attach a pulley to it, allowing you to haul or winch up significant loads. You can also tie down your Zonai devices rather than just gluing them on, which might help with structural integrity.

[@BouncyBonBon]

We all admire Beedle and want to lift like him. He is absolutely ripped under that shirt and I’m certain of it. Also we pay our respects for YAH (Your Average Horse)

[@youraveragehylian]

Beedle is the guy she tells you not to worry about

[@J_dizzle21]

IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED TO YAH (your average horse) also hey bouncy

[@masterofdoots5965]

I heard there's some kind of weird fairy fountain nearby that Akkala technology laboratory. Apparently, you can revive horses there if you offer Endura Carrots. Maybe YAH isn't gone forever. If you can figure out how to get down from there first...

[@youraveragehylian]

I've been getting reminders of that, I may have to make the trip...

[@jonasgisel3707]

I've heard of that too, but always took it as a silly story. But if my horse died I think I'd at least check it out.

[@TrebleKnight]

Now your average Hylian is stranded on a deserted island filled with killer robots

[@LeanBacalzo]

And here I thought I outsmarted those Zonai by making the famous hoverbike!

[@youraveragehylian]

No doubt you could still pull it off

[@calvinbrinenestoris2357]

So the answer to the question of whether or not your average person can reach the Sky Islands is "technically yes, but most likely not in a million years", because no way your average Hylian would have the knowledge they'd need on the contents of the other smaller Sky Islands that they could use to then reach the big one, nor would they know where to get the things they need on the ground.

[@JacobHandle]

Has the hero of hyrule agreed to make cameos with your average hylian? Or was that just coincidence/gloating?

[@hyper_lynx]

I like to think that guy is aware of the courage YAH has been displaying, making these death-defying videos for us. Courage is known as a noble trait, so maybe there's some mutual respect there -- or maybe he was just going to a nearby shrine. Never can tell with him.

This video was awesome! Cannot wait to see how many new people it inspires to join our discord community

[@LadybugsOpin]

I certainly hope you asked Link for help by asking him to supervise your progress just in case you got stuck, your aim was off, or something like that. I mean, why else would he be flying nearby with his hoverbike? And I'm sure someone like him would be happy to help out!

[@Kingvoid213]

Wow....I guess having a bad sleep schedule means your later than the other Chanel members Also damn link didnt need to flex on us average hylians with that flying bike thing

[@youraveragehylian]

He doesn't say much and yet I feel like he insults me more than people who talk...

[@metaKnightSpamer777]

only Using part of your available hot air balloons to get further was a good trick. I wonder how far this could go. If We built something with enough hot air balloons to lift a platform of hot air balloons that is, itself, holding a hot air balloon platform... Each set of platforms could be a 'stage' of such a device. But it'd take an IMMENSE amount of lift to handle the increasing weight of each stage plus its prior stages. It might take something as big as those Towers that have been built just to lift a pod barely large enough for 3 people! hmm. maybe air balloons aren't suited for such a thing. What if We used Rockets to power this hypothetical device? And what would we call it?

[@burnedbread4691]

Hudson did build a functionig hot-air balloon. Tho he is not average

[@HerrscherPuppet]

I don’t think we need to take despawning Zonai devices into account. Yiga clan members have been shown to use Zonai gliders long after the wings should’ve expired. We also have seen other characters on hot air balloons for likely much longer than 2 minutes. Zonai item despawning is simply a game mechanic to prevent us from having fun- I mean to balance the game. So if we have the weaknesses of the average hylian, we should also have the advantages too. Also, weapon durability shouldn’t be as much of an issue for similar reasons right?

[@maximeleninja4029]

Yeah, it's just that link is so ridiculously strong that he can basically shatter any weapons.

[@user-fr4hg8md5p]

Well even a extra ordinary person in link can’t figure it out so the civilians probably can’t do this ether But the weapon durability is fair

[@izurukamukura6653]

​@user-fr4hg8md5p What? They listed multiple examples where they do, it's not a matter of figuring anything out it's just that it doesn't really apply to them the same as we see in the game

[@MilesPowers]

I don't have to worry about decayed weapons, because I found a non-decayed traveler's sword right next to one of the caverns.

[@youraveragehylian]

That's a good find!

[@hanelyp1]

Didn't Bolson build an airship capable of traveling from Tarrytown to Gerudo Town? And I presume back again. Also, what (beyond programmed game mechanics, take that forth wall) would make zonite construction work for wings and balloons where wood and fabric might not?

[@PTp1ranha]

So this is how Purah and the others eventually got up here.

[@AuroraGaming95]

[@greatemu6837]

Lore wise it’s not the fact that an average hylian’s body can’t withstand the launch of a skyview tower, it’s just that they’re all too scared to do it.

[@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs]

It's like comparing a regular real world human to a fictional race of near-humans is weird. Like, your average Hyrulian may not be a superhero compared to Link, who regularly takes massive hits and more or less shrugs them off, but as a race they're shown to be above the average real world human pretty significantly. Beedle, a twig of a being, carries that massive pack in this video for example. I'd argue your average Hyrulian is 2-5X stronger than an average human.

[@not_umbre]

I don't know what equipment you use to travel across Hyrule, but there are techniques you can learn from the GameBanana region which will allow you to learn to put together parts without glue if your equipment is right, if you have any interest in that sort of thing.

I've been waiting for this video for months I've been trying to get to the sky islands for ages 😅

[@slateoffate9812]

Hi, um, I'm an aspiring writer who wants to be as faithful to Hyrule's geography as possible. One of my ideas involves something called a "Power Plant Temple" in the Hebra Region. The story takes place in a slightly more advanced version of our lovely land, so the facility requires maintenance like the SkyView Towers do, so it has to have a walkable path to it. I thought about using the Hebra Mountain Trail to decide its location, but that thing is sadly VERY obscure. I tried using the flags as markers, but I keep finding dead ends or places that couldn't be reached by your average joe. Would you have any advice, oh learned one?

[@youraveragehylian]

It’s a steep hike but technically possible to make it up to Hebra Peak by crossing Lake Kilsie, hopping off near the Sturnida Hot Spring, then up the gradually rising hill that goes north for a bit, then turns to the East. It’ll take you up to Selmie’s spot. So you could have your power plant on the Biron Snowshelf, atop the Pikida Stonegrove, or perhaps inside Hebra Peak! Good luck writing it, it sounds cool. Hope this helps!

Apparently from what i’ve heard from other travelers is that if you get lucky with a ballon next to a chasm you can ride it back up it. However, from what you have said is that you fell into the depths via a well, so that entrance might be too small for that…

Thanks this helped a lot but uhh how do i get down? Heelp

[@Alkaris]

I would make my starting point from The Depths up to GSI, to add that extra bit of challenge, and to add on that extra time it takes to go from deep underground, to the surface all the way up into the sky. Find the most convenient starting point as an Average Hylian within The Depths, because you know you might of went deep underground exploring, or you fell in from some place or another. Firstly, you'll be in the pitch black darkness of The Depths with nothing but bags full of Brightbloom Seeds to light your way as well as a Torch. But I'm sure Hylians can have a magic pouch that can infinitely fill large quantity of items in it so storing items and what have you shouldn't be an issue. -- As an average Hylian within The Depths you'd want to find a facility that have a lot of hot air balloons, and of course, finding a chasm opening to be able to reach the surface. The construction you make also has to be able to fit up through the chasms leading to the surface too because not all chasms are wide enough to support a massive platform going all the way up, so we're talking a small wooden square piece wide. The biggest Chasm openings would be Central Hyrule, and Lake Hylia, as well as that hill-side chasm at Lake Hylia where Farosh goes down, all within close proximity of The Great Plateau. In fact I've even considered a route that would include riding a dragon up into the sky, and then reaching an island in the sky while riding them. A Hylian could go to Kakariko and hitch a ride on Naydra or Farosh if they happen to be within their paths, because they each go underground, and I believe Dinraal too goes underground too. So from The Depths you'd need a flying contraption to get yourself up to a dragon passing over head, and using their glider they can catch a gust up to the dragon once they're high enough and land on it to ride it back to the surface and into the sky. it will take some time when the dragon flies their routes.
