Summary

It’s inevitable that players are bound to face a plethora of enemies when exploringThe Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom’s Hyrule, whether they’re an intimidating boss or a more common foe like a Bokoblin. The game features some truly impressive set pieces, with plenty of deadly boss battles and mini-bosses throughout the land for players to take on, and since the launch of the game last year, players have begun finding more and more creative ways to claim their victories.

This is what happened when YouTuberぶれねこ(BreNeko)was presented with one of the massive, multi-headed dragons, Gleeok. After the cutscene played, showing the flame variant of this formidable foe soaring through the sky, BreNeko stood at the edge of one of the taller sky islands andfired three arrows in quick succession up into the sky, and as they made their descent, the Gleeok flew straight into their path, with each arrow hitting each of Gleeok’s heads in quick succession, causing the dragon to fall to the ground as Link himself jumped off the sky island into a freefall to watch the dragon’s descent.

Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Build Beats Gleeok In Way You Never Imagined

A Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player have built an extraordinary device for one-shotting the dreadful Gleeok that defies all reasoning.

It Took 500 Attempts To Achieve This Trick Shot

Gleeok Orbits In The Same Location

To say fellowLegend of Zeldafans were impressed would be a massive understatement, as so many took to the YouTube comments under BreNeko’s post to praise their impressive feat, with one calling it “Olympic-level archery.” One question many did have - aside from whether fall damage killed the Gleeok, as the video cut out before this point - was just how long it took BreNeko to pull off the trick in the first place and how many attempts it took.

BreNekoprovided an answer - which has since been pinned - on the YouTube Shorts version of the clip, where they stated thatto pull off the trick, the shooting direction and shooting angle are adjusted using the vertically long sky island visible on the left side of the screen as an indicator.Where the Gleeok orbits around the same location, if timed properly, it is possible to hit it in this way. While hitting it once with this technique is enough, hitting each of its three heads with an arrow in such a way is truly impressive, but it wasn’t just a fluke, as BreNeko noted thatit took them “about 500 attempts and about 10 hours” to succeed.

This dedication clearly paid off, and the end result was an extremely impressive and effective way to defeat a fearsome foe. While there is normally avery clear way to defeat enemies, in this case, getting a headshot for each glowing head, with the freedom provided inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it’s always fun to see players experiment, be it through crafting, archery trick shots or melee.
