The really baffling part is that Nintendo's physics code is good enough for all of these solutions to actually work. If you try building half of these in any random game with classic Havok physics, it'll just freak out and send parts flying everywhere.
@@nefariosgliscorI learned that from watching other players share that knowledge. And if the game isn't deterring you from it, it's still a solution :3
Thanks! Supporting the sign on an NPC was one of my earliest ideas, but it took a long time until I found a sign with an NPC nearby I could use (I had exhausted a lot of the options before I started doing this sign nonsense).
Thank you :) The funny thing is, I got that one on my first try (some of the others took many hours to get right). On the other hand, the first one was actually the last clip I recorded chronologically, I had the idea for a long time but it took me long to find a location where I was able to try the idea. The reason it didn't turn out to be that hard is that the balancing of the construction was very nicely testable before asking Addison to let go of the sign, so I could make a lot of small adjustments to make sure it was right The 1:25 one was the hardest by far. The problem wasn't getting the sign to stay up (that worked for 90% of my attempts), the difficulty was the sign was almost always wobbling too much back and fourth due to the wheel movement, and Addison require the sign to have minimal movement for a few seconds.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL I couldn't figure out how to do these, but now I realize that I was just over complicating things. I can't believe the answers were so simple.
I was impressed at these contraptions! But then I found it's made by the legend who developed one of my favorite games when I was younger: Within A Deep Forest. I'm impressed, as always.
@@ARUCARDFTEPES Thank you :) Yeah, I upload a lot of silly stuff here! But you'll actually find a video of the game I just started developing on this channel (a weird rhythm game where you play as my dog)! Also my most recent games are Ynglet and Xenosphere (the second one is free) if you want to check out what I'm up to these days
Love the creativity and determination here. Making the task harder on purpose and succeeding is impressive. Once I learned the floating blocks can solve all of these instantly, I just stopped trying entirely.
Yeah! It actually started even in Breath of the Wild for me. I found a lot of the shrines having too obvious solutions, so I had a rule to always beat each shrine in an unintended way. Then in TotK I started to take that even further. For players very adept at puzzle solving, I think making personal constraints and challenges is important to make these games more enjoyable, since they're so easy to cheese
As intelligent as I feel that I am, this type of intelligence has never been my forte. I feel overwhelmed by the mere thought of building stuff like this. Which is why I laughed my a off at all of these, in admiration. Awesome stuff.
@@justinmillard8196 I'd love to make another Affordable Space Adventures actually, I hope I'll be able to work with a team that big again sometime in the future! If the chance arrives I'll absolutely take it!
@@Nifflas It certainly was a dream team, hey? I feel so lucky that I got to play some of it. Would love to see another project come out of that collaboration.
Oh @Nifflas! My partner wanted to know if you lost any of that gear when it was pushed back upon task completion. That had her thinking you were madly brave.
I may be wrong, but it looked like you were able to make attachments to the sign itself. I could never make that happen. Creative solutions. I don’t have the patience for that level of creativity.
No, nothing is actually ever glued to the sign. In all my solutions, there is always something that locks the sign in place (sometimes something like a weapon underneath the sign attached to one of the side panels). Sometimes just the friction of two panels pressing against part of the sign from both directions can hold it in place too. The main exception is the first solution where the device kinda just balances on the sign (I'm actually surprised the first one worked, the way it looks)
@@TheMewtata giving someone tools and encouraging someone to use them is a different issue. Like if you sat down for a week you could create a small video game. The tools are there to learn, even paid software has cracked versions if you look deep in the toolbox that is the internet. Its a larger issue with the game, but not one easily addressed. The game presents extremely simple solutions that dont interact deeply with the systems it has. If there's a puzzle, you COULD make a contraption to solve it, or you could use this rock laying off to the side that fits perfectly. I'll admit that there are a couple clever sign puzzles. But nothing really that deep. And that's what I feel is a shame. It also extends towards the shrines, since they don't want to rip you out of the moment-to-moment gameplay for a complex puzzle... Or so I assume.
This is like a series of Rube Golberd devices, but it's simply semi-kinetic art rather than a mechanical structure that ends with a simple yet anticlimactic act of whateve the builder intended. Like Wakko Warner's mannequin sitting on a whoopie cushion 😂
This was an unexpected upload, but I'm also not surprised that you would be able to come up with these crazy contraptions. I'm not sure I want to know how long it took to get some of these to work.
Thank you! It's very different per contraption. The first one you see I actually got on my very first try (on the other hand, it was the last one I recorded - I had the idea early on but had trouble finding a suitable Addison puzzle that would allow it). The second contraption however was actually from the first time I had the idea to do this in the first place. That one took approximately two hours of retrying (had to figure out how to not get too much weight applied from the all the logs on top). The one at 1:25 is probably the one that took longest, I re-tried that in multiple locations on multiple sessions, I couldn't get the wobble low enough for Addison to approve. So I just tried and tried over and over, until suddenly, I got what you see in the video! The one at 0:57 was also devilishly tricky, because the slightest misalignment between the angles of the wheels made them slide sideways relative to each other so the sign would fall quickly.
I've never intentionally made anything like this. But if the sign doesn't stay up, then I just add more junk to it instead of trying it in a different way. That has resulted in some pretty weird solutions. (I know about using the hovering stones but I've decided not to use them because that would make it too easy.)
Yeah, that's honestly how I started! Then at some point it just escalated for me and I went "I could do this better... ooooooooor, what if I do it even MORE convoluted?"
It's weighted just right so the balloon doesn't have quite enough lift to get the sign + attached panels off the ground - but just aaaaalmost. It had to be pretty precise, so I experimented plenty with getting the right amount of wooden panels onto the construction.
Now he has a reason to be surprised for not understanding the physics of this.
The really baffling part is that Nintendo's physics code is good enough for all of these solutions to actually work. If you try building half of these in any random game with classic Havok physics, it'll just freak out and send parts flying everywhere.
Finally! A simple, accessible tutorial
Exactly, right? All the other tutorials I could find were doing convoluted stuff with a floating block. Many of my solutions are even battery-free!
@@Nifflasyes i couldn't figure out how to make the block float
When Addison said, "How's the president standing?" I felt that in my soul watching this video.
Trump is going to lose again. Cry about it, snowflake.
Biden 1, Trump 0
"How's the president standing?"
"That's a very good question!"
0:38 "So that's where I left my stuff."
While I am gluing planks of wood together, you are making modern art masterpieces.
And to think there's some so-called "gamers" that just use a hover stone.
@@nefariosgliscorThat's me, if the intended solution isn't obvious.

This is so stupidly fun. This deserves 1000x views. I'm gonna re-watch it plenty times.
Haha, thank you :)
Your autobuild history must be a work of art.
That first balance one is…that’s just incredible. Thats a testament to the game

Who needs a Zonai Platform when you can just have a 60 foot long pole that rests on a random Rito's head?
These are the most unhinged solutions to the sign problems and I absolutely love it
instructions unclear, accidentally founded the hudson space program
We have a Hubbleson's space telescope now.

1:23 IS THIS A FUCKING GYROSCOPE MECHANISM? LMAOOO
Even if it isn't, shit is fun as hell
1:50 that's a lotta peanut butter in that sandwich
Reminds me of s'mores
I always love this dude being in utter disbelief when link helps him
These all deserve a spot in a museum.
Just what I was looking for, thanks. I don't know how I didn't think of these before. It's so obvious!
This is the shit I think about when I say I'm "not creative" lol, for me it's an hoverstone and basta !
well done !
i love seeing people come up with the jankiest solutions for these things
I genuinely applaud your creativity with these. Great video 👍
It's just a minigame, but you take it to the max and it's fun to see you do it. Thanks.

I love this side of the Tears of the Kingdom community
Feels like I've played the game wrong knowing these were the solutions Nintendo intended
Saved the best for last! The flying machines too heavy to take off are both my favourite.
The funniest thing I saw in a long time 😂
Unironically, someone would actually search up how to solve them on youtube just to find this video. Quite Motivational
This is unhinged. I'm here for it.
This is pretty fun.
Its a shame that the game doesnt really encourage more out of the box solutions like this for puzzles.
The game gives you the tools and the sandbox. Achievement programming is limited. Imagination is not.

i was fully expecting one of these solutions to just LAUNCH Addison into the stratosphere XD
This is so goofy I love it
H-he's standing! 😳
Dude solves world hunger with nuclear winter
this is how nintendo thought we'd use ultrahand
I love how each one starts zoomed in, then you zoom out to display the nonsense haha
This is comedy 😁👏
Haha so good. My favorite was the Rito one.
MOM!! Phineas and Ferb are... holding up Hudson signs?
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
This is hilarious. And very creative!
"No, seriously, _how_ is this possible?"
Algorithm brought me here. I am pleased lol great work
I never would have thought of that.
I always used wooden beams nearby to form an X and prop up the signs. I refused to cheat with floating blocks.

Amazing Video! Thank you for the tips, Nifflas! 🥰
Now take your paper clip, acorn, and pocket lint as a reward
This made my night. XD
1:14 🤣🤣🦅😭
"How's the president standing?"
That's what I want to know!
Where can I get more of this
Perfect,y balances gamora as all things shoukd be
Much better than the hover stone trick.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Amazing physics in game 😎
Tears of the Kingdom is truly the first Hudson-type game.
Easy peasy!
Only thing that would have made this better is seeing the aftermath of whatever solution was used scattered about nearby after he secures the post

Using penn's head is hilarious
Thanks :) That was one of the ideas I had for a long time when doing this, but it took a while to find a location with an NPC I could use
My dawg ahh using a hover stone
How's the president standing?!
WHAT IN THE NAME OF HYLIA!!!
Link could easily hold the sign for Addison, but would rather use an overcomplicated machine 😅
Next Knytt game could be an enormous layered 3d world.. a lot of things in the botw/totk game styles remind me of Knytt now i think about it.
Excellent. Rube Goldberg. 😁
OKAY 1:10 IS PUSHING IT HAHAHAHA

Judging by the latest Echoes of Wisdom gameplay...Zelda took this personally
Bro going against the idea of SDGs so hard.
for the last one, why doesn't the sign fly away
It's weighted just right so the balloon doesn't have quite enough lift to get the sign + attached panels off the ground - but just aaaaalmost. It had to be pretty precise, so I experimented plenty with getting the right amount of wooden panels onto the construction.
😁 How cheeky!
These are unironically similar to the ways I usually end up solving them too. I’m not smart enough to solve them simply
Tom and Jerry ahh contraptions
This is so fucking funny😂❤
I don't understand the ones with moving parts. Why do they need gears? Can someone explain, please? 😅
Chaotic good Link
Using 1,742,960 IQ.
Its actually very easy, put a hoverstone below the sign 😁
My favorite was the pile of shit on the ground
where am i going to find the time for this
I only now just realised that i have never tried just adding a stabiliser
😂😂 awesome
Because solving it normally was not complicated enough XD
Yes, that's right, how TF is the president standing ?
Just put a hover stone on a spear. Throw the spear to activate the stone.
When you’re done dude it back on. It doesn’t take any durability
Take my sub 😄
60% of the time it works every time.
Hahahaha brilliant!
