He is left dumbfounded as a chaining fiery explosion crests the side of Vah Medoh.

[@piperchu6353]

I think a lot of people forget why Revali is such an ass to Link. It's not just because of his crush on Zelda. From our perspective, he has no reason to dislike us other than jealousy and selfishness. But if you look at it from his perspective, it actually makes a lot of sense. All the Champions were born with their powers... except for Revali. Revali was a talented individual among the Rito, hailed as a local hero for his work ethic and archery skills. Everyone loved him, praised him for his diligant work, and he only aspired for greater heights, it was never enough, he could always aim higher. And with that, he created something entirely new: Revali's Gale. When Link came along, suddenly Revali was no longer in the spotlight, and he wasn't used to that. Some kid from a little town in the country got a shiny sword to kill Ganon, all because he was born destined for it. That left a bitter taste in Revali's mouth, Link didn't earn his title, not like Revali did. In fact, none of the other Champions did. They all had their powers from birth. Revali invented his.

[@Raiigen]

In Link's defence, though, according to Zelda's diary, Link never wanted that power to begin with. He probably didn't even want to be a knight, but was pushed into it by everyone around him because "he was a skilled swordsman at a young age, plus his dad was a knight, had to follow into his footsteps". Maybe he wanted to do something else, explore the world, use his skills to help people on the road, but we never got to know because Link merely accepted his fate and that caused him to change drastically (queue Mipha's diary where she says how Link used to be a spunky, lively kid, and on the next visit he was quiet and withdrawn, hinting that he was desperately trying to fulfil all the expectations placed on him). Only around his friends did some of the old Link shine through, as we can see in Daruk's diary where he exposes Link as a glutton, and Zelda herself gets to slowly know him as she too begins to open up to him. Revali is an ass to Link because he thought Link had everything handed to him, but he never stopped to ask himself whether or not the kid actually wanted all of that or not. And fact is he didn't, but he took it anyway because he didn't want to disappoint anyone, didn't want people to talk and whisper behind his back, even though that's exactly what they did (again, queue Zelda's diary). On closer inspection, Revali and Link are two sides of the same coin; Revali wanted it, but had to work for it. Link didn't want it, but got it anyway. Ironically, if they had different personalities, i.e. Revali wasn't so arrogant and Link such a quiet tooth, they may have been really good friends. BotW is very intricate with its characters and that's why it's one of my favourite games ever.

I love the lore you can find when you dig, nice to find another like me. Great insight, I love when discussions like this open up!! :D

[@8unnylover]

@@Raiigen I agree w u but, tbf to Revali, he acts petty and childish because well... He IS a child. At most he's a teen, like Zelda, who was also petty and rude to Link, until she grew out of it. In Rito village, all of the little children have pink blushy circles on their cheeks. None of the adults do, not even the one Rito from the town who is potentially a teen/ young adult (acts v stereotypical teen by talking ab how he needs to get away from his mom and build his own life)(the one who joins Tarrey Town lol). BUT, Revali has the little cheek blushies!! He's a kid! He's obviously bigger than the kids from Rito village, but he's also a lot smaller than most Rito, which further lends itself to him being young. Revali was the youngest champion to die, poor thing (Mipha was young by Zora standards, but not actually young). Does that excuse his behavior? No, he was definitely a jerk. Is it understandable? I'd say so.

[@VegetaLF7]

I love how to an outside observer, some of these are just Link glaring at the distant Divine Beast, probably going cross-eyed for a moment as he splits timelines, and just randomly shoots off into the heavens without warning. I don't know what would terrify Revali more, seeing Link speed past at mach 3 or explode his way upwards out of pure stubbornness.

[@gregheffley5745]

The fact that no collisions can occur with non-dev-intended approaches to Divine Beasts is likely one Nintendo made an absolute must in an attempt to stop anyone from engaging in shenanigans. And it's pretty hard to take, because shenanigans are our specialty. Our next goal is to figure out how to glitch the initiation of the divine beast quest. Then we should be able to use any of the methods to be able to land on the divine beast.

The thought of Link detonating 550 bombs under him one by one to slowly inch up to Vah Medoh, while staring Revali straight in the eyes is one of the most glorious things I've is one of the one most glorious things I've ever imagined.

[@pokeperson1000]

Vah Medoh went through two flight cycles before Link reached it, implying that Revali would have seen a trail of constant explosions in the airspace below as it looped around the first time, and seen it approach his level as the beast looped back around the second time, eyes widening in disbelief as he realizes that it was _Link_ the entire fucking time.

I'm surprised it doesn't activate a barrier and bounce you back. That's what happens if you try to land on Ruta. I once managed to land on the back balcony of Naboris. The doorway leading inside is blacked out so you can't go in. Its stomping leaves you constantly bouncing.

If I were a dev for this game, instead of just giving it no collision, even if I couldnt think of an alternate way to get up there, I'd probably want to put in an alternate playthrough where you cut the BS, go straight there, burb guy is shocked you got there, and you disable it and fight what's his nuts without his burb's help. Because if there's anything players will do, it's figure out a way around the devs intended playthrough, and frankly, I think players should be rewarded for finding glitches like that with some tongue in cheek storyline.

This. I'm always so heavily disappointed when I spend hours breaking a game to get somewhere I'm not supposed to be, only for the game to not work properly. Or not have special dialogue for me fucking around and glitching into the area without help. "Oh you got Mercer's plans before the quest involving them in Skyrim. Cool. The game now will not progress that mission and resets you to the one prior, because we don't expect people to actually go get the plans." Not a good example of breaking the game, but it's the most prominent one in my mind of devs not acknowledging the ways players can get around quest objectives. Like, cmon. Get a speedrunner to fuck with your game until they figure out every little break and bug.
