How long does it take to fall to the surface in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

*IMPORTANT LINKS*

[kamadeva]

you guys have such talented hosts why use the terrible TTS?

[MobiusPeverell]

Were you guys really not capable of convincing Pat to narrate this?

[NycolasPedro]

This video doesn't match at all the quality expected for this channel!

[JWs]

Is this Polygon writers strike content?

[jonosono]

So... How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?
Polygon: idk I got a little too impatient... and bit into it at the end!!

[CreativeUsernameEh]

That ending was unsatisfactory and I am most disappointed, good day to you sir

[amiiboacid]

I think Polygon got hacked by one of those crypto scammers and they reposted low quality TikToks to make it harder to tell

[arkyung]

What the hell? You guys have all these talented performers available and you can't even bother to voice a simple one minute video? And then you undercut the premise of the video at the last second for some reason?? Also you mention the surface being below the water then you just decide to not go to it??? This is actually baffling.

I understand the desire to make Tik Tok STYLE content for clicks... don't actually make a shitty Tik Tok.

[DUHRIZEO]

Polygon please don't use that horrid TikTok voice...

[Jesthers]

First time I've seen the dislikes on a video overtake the likes in a WHILE.

[Lambda]

Didn't like the robot voices, didn't like the ending. Come on, you can do better than this!

[makoman]

That's not the surface, that's a body of water that's sitting on top of the surface.

[DarkBuhu]

This content already requires the bare minimum of effort, and somehow whoever did this still messed it up because they got "impatient". If someone tried to land on a point of the surface with depth level 0 or also went into the underground this may would have been a slightly interesting watch, but this? Dont make content if you let the 10 year old cousin of an intern do the work...

[pokkiheart]

This ain't a polygon video I simply don't believe it

[nicolaofmiddlewest]

This video was bad, and now my day has been ruined. Thank you.

[Me-wxmt]

Didn’t realize we were playing as Icarus in this game

[reganreynolds]

please have your employees voice over instead of these bots :/ it’s not entertaining and it seems cheap these days

In case anyone is actually looking for an answer I put the following together before finding this short to compare my results with other users.
From 2997 to 018 Z-coordinates

dive (accelerated) 42 sec
jump only 52
glide (arms only) 97
paraglider 930
"arrow time" 1012

This was wearing the special armor to avoid the need to use the paraglider at the last second. Please note that I only did 1 run each so there could be a small difference that would have been mitigated by averaging multiple runs. I predict 1% error though. If anyone else finds different results it would be interesting to see those.

Polygon, why use that awful TTS voice? You've got a gaggle of charming hosts with good voices, this is just cheap and disrespectful.
