The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds on the already massive Hyrule of Breath of the Wild, adding an incredible amount of vertical reach from sky to ground and beyond. increase. Without loading screens, you can climb ridiculously high or jump down into Hyrule from almost anywhere.Naturally, we had to understand that how high It all works fine. And we did.
It turns out that the sky has an upper limit. All the way up to +3300 on the Y axis (visible on the minimap in the bottom right corner of the screen). Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be gained by reaching that high. It simply displays the message “You can’t go any further”.
By the way, the “sea level” in Tears of the Kingdom is flat 0, and the highest point on the map where you can actually stand without building a building is just over 2600 meters. In contrast, the underground continues to a depth of approximately -1166 degrees. But I won’t explain where this is. It’s going to be a bit of a spoiler.
In Tears of the Kingdom we tried to make the longest fall possible
Just for fun, I tried to use this information to create the longest fall possible in Tears of the Kingdom. We didn’t use a paraglider for this (except for the last part, just to avoid dying), but we used some special equipment to improve our diving abilities. Longer ones may be possible, but from point 3288, where the balloon reached the top of the sky, we were able to jump to a depth of about -1130 through a rift at the top of the Gerudo. It seems impossible to go all the way from the height limit of the map to the lowest possible depth. Because there isn’t a rift close enough to make that happen.
No, it’s not like there’s anything really incredible waiting at the upper limit of the sky, but it’s fascinating to experiment with how long it takes to actually get there in the first place, and this absolutely huge You can also marvel at the vertical range of the game. .
Once you’ve practiced diving from Sky Islands, you’ll be provided with all the support you need for Tears of the Kingdom, including a Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough and a guide to get you through Hyrule. In fact, you can start here.
