"There’s a bridge to cross the lava pit in
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the
Kingdom’s Marakuguc Shrine, but it’s broken. More than half of the bridge is
piled on top of itself on one side of the pit, with one clipped-off segment on
the other. The bridge is the obvious choice for crossing the lava, but how to
fix it?
A clip showing one potential solution went viral on Twitter shortly after
Tears of the Kingdom’s release: The player uses Link’s Ultrahand ability to
unfurl the stacked bridge by attaching it to a wheeled platform in the lava.
When the wheeled platform — now attached to the edge of the bridge — activates
and moves forward, it pulls the bridge taut, splashing lava as it goes, until
the suspension bridge is actually suspended and can be crossed. But it wasn’t
the solution itself that resonated with players; instead, the clip had game
developers’ jaws on the ground, in awe of how Nintendo’s team wrangled the
game’s physics system to do
that.
To players, it’s simply a bridge, but to game developers, it’s a miracle."
