The Wings STINK... (and ways to fix that)

Current Channel Members = 67

Here is a list of ALL the ways you can extend flight time for the Zonai WING item in Tears of the Kingdom. There is a lot, some involving main quest items, one involving water, and a few requiring manipulation of Hyrule's wacky physics. Some ways can even help you fly forever. Infinite... flight.

*INFINITE WINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND!*

Also, I was sick while recording most of this. So, apologies if my voice is weird in a few spots! (Weirder than normal that is...)

[jan.akisa.]

nintendo shouldve made the despawn timer based on how big your battery is. that way early game wings and balloons arent op but theyre still able to be useful later in the game

[Majima_Nowhere]

You truly can't beat the low cost, extreme longevity, and high maneuverability of a fan bike.
"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game." Which, as far as travel methods go, happened about a week after the game came out.

[Premium-Content]

If the wings used battery power, that’d be a cool way to make them useful and still have them balanced early game

[borb]

The shrine wings last longer because all zonai devices (except rockets) can’t despawn in shrines. Probably the same for the moragia fight ones. They aren’t different, I think the shrines just change how they work. You can still use the wings as a disposable parachute for your builds though :)

[casualbird]

The wings having such a short despawn time seems like one of the most bizarre development choices nintendo made. Proper working wings are my favorite thing in every setting and they went and ruined it

[davidragan]

The worst part are that balloons also decay rapidly making them fairly useless outside of certain instances.

[solidzack]

The mask bonus is actually crazy and I hate how much building material you miss out, the more you progress in the game

[ShaunRF]

Aside from despawning, my biggest problem with wings is the handling. If you are just gliding and controlling them by shifting weight they work great. However, when using a steering stick and fans it feels like you’re flying an ocean liner. I wish they were more maneuverable and fun to control.

[hiwrenhere]

I deeply respect putting spoilers up still.

[cato]

I'm doing a run where I can't carry around traversal based Zonai devices, and thats made every device I find in the world valuable. Wings are a blessing.

[JoTheCraftyShark]

Okay but that title intro to "the water method" was so good XD

[FinGunn]

The wings really said ‘no one cared who I was til I put on the mask’

[Jwid_]

I am SO thankful for you adding a list of the music you used in the video, it happens so often that i watch a video like this and hear the Background music and have the feeling i heard it before, it's just so satisfying to look it up after watching the video.

[Drakenwild]

I actually did use water as a runway for a wing once! I needed a fresh file for some early game footage and got stuck on the other side of a fairly wide river with no good way of crossing and no convenient teleport spots ^^' Had to get creative and ended up pulling out a wing out of my inventory as a boat base. Worked really well!

Also, I freaking love the transitions you made for this one, they cracked me up! :D

[doge]

I don't think it's anything about the *Wings* in those specific areas/scenarios, but rather the areas/scenarios themselves. I'm pretty sure you can spawn your own Wings to use in them without the Wings despawning.

[GerudoKing_]

It’s crazy what the community has come up with when it comes to wing enhancement. Great video.

Link clearly has good taste in Star Wars quotes as well.

[BlueKorb]

Its kinda funny how the game has whole groups of people in a union all working together to come up with stuff like the korok space program and hyrule engineering

[Tgodreals]

Completely by accident I favorited my preferred wing build as the one for menerus quest line. Explains why it always felt longer

[paradox_guardian]

I always thought wings shined best when just used as a simple cheap glider rather than a vehicle base. I find it relaxing to just ride them around.
