Still, it was an interesting and entertaining video. Obviously, games bend reality to fit what's fun, and he does mention that but: Hey, there's all this mysterious crazy magic constantly displayed in the game. So funny how he mentions the iron boots and how they weigh him down "when he wears them" but then is concerned about the physics of holding the weight of the hookshot and the precise rates of fire. Although, I think everyone knows it is impractical as shown in the game. Wed 26th Nov That was my thinking, too, with the chain and him skipping the impact.All this proves is that, no matter how rich I might get, building a real world hook shot would be suicide. Honestly, game theories really waste their time using all this math based on real world variables. Plus, no one ever said Hylian biology is that similar to human biology, they could be much more durable (after all, they deal with monsters on a regular basis), I mean macro evolution is likely irrelevant considering Hyrule was supposedly created by the goddesses (and I mean perhaps that could be considered myth but the existence of the Triforce alone at least seems to prove supernatural forces exist), so the goddesses could've created Hylians with much stronger bones and organs - or even just the Hero of Time, for all we know the average Hylian would be ripped to shreds using Link's tools, he does have a piece of the Triforce after all, I assume that thing is just for show.īut why am I even wasting my time arguing this? It's fiction, just enjoy it. In Hyrule, who says they don't have metals that are lighter and more sturdy than the ones we have? That alone makes the first half of the Longshot equation irrelevant. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)īut I mean, as said, these are fantasy worlds.The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64).If you care about the science in detail, have a read of the actual paper here.Īre you a fan of people breaking down video games in a scientific fashion like this, or does it ruin things for you? Let's hear your thoughts below! Long story short, these dwarf-like planets would not have enough mass to produce a stable body. They go on to explain that planets of this size (approximately 100m in diameter) would survive for only a brief moment before violently destroying themselves and their inhabitants. The students observed that Mario's movement and jumping capabilities were the same on each planet (including Earth), and so the assumption of each planet having the same surface gravity of 9.81ms ² could be made. This is because of the extreme imbalance of gravitational pressure they would be exposed to due to their minuscule size. In other news, students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy have calculated that the small planets Mario navigates in the Super Mario Galaxy games would likely explode in real life. MatPat ensures that every aspect of science and its laws are covered, and really identifies whether Link travelling abruptly from area to area with this item is a possible feat in real life. The video below is extremely interesting, but without spoiling anything, it's gruesome too.

Game Theory is also the series behind the idea of Link being dead in Majora's Mask, a popular theory that caused an uproar within the internet community upon its release. This time, creator MatPat attempts to scientifically take apart the idea behind the Hookshot and its variations (the Longshot more specifically), an item from The Legend of Zelda series that allows Link to traverse across the nooks and crannies of Hyrule. If you've ever wondered what games would be like if they had to abide by the science playbook then you've probably already discovered the excellent Game Theory series.
Even so, it's fascinating to consider how popular franchises would fare if they were governed by the proper laws of the universe.
We all know that video games are pure fantasy, and that they should rarely be considered accurate representations of reality.
