18 dumb ways you've died in Breath of the Wild 

Fun fact: You can actually take out the paraglider for a split second after running out of stamina to break your fall.

My first time I fought a lynel I equipped ice arrows and shooted thinking it would freeze, I kinda died instantly and on the loading screen it said, "Lynels are inmune to fire, frost and electricity

I know this probably happened to very few people but once I was attacking the gerudo guards at the palace steps and they knocked me back and because I was low I died from FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS

I can't tell you how often I've forgotten that I've shekiah sensor abilities when I needed them most. Blight Gannon was just unbeatable till I looked it up and felt so dumb.

My first play through, I didn’t discover the warm doublet, so to get to the ice shrine, I walked up a mountain with a torch in hand.

Another thing people have most likely died on is going straight to Ganon right after getting the paraglider.

#17 isn't really that dumb, it's the only one I've died from. (Also how do most people not know that you can open your glider 1 more time after you run out of stamina to save yourself???)

You know, everyone always raged about how hard Thunderblight Ganon was, so I postponed the Divine Beasts till after I defeated almost every shrine and had a fully upgraded Rubber Armor. I beat it on the first try. Thunderblight Ganon is not hard. You just have to prepare and take your time. You can do it!

Me who died to a cuccos 😎 Edit: This comment has more likes then my most liked video, Thanks

"Even your own stupidity" thats the cause of about 90% of my deaths lmao

The most random death I've had was probably when I was gliding through a jungle then landed in the center of this army of lizafos and instantly got shot dead with their electric arrows

I love that he shows a Pointcrow clip when mentioning botw speedruns.

Thunder blight isn’t very hard as long as you know his attacks but when you first fight him you’ll probably die at least once if you fight him last when he’s at max health

I spent 5+ hours in my first time in the great plateau and I didn't know how to hit gud 💀 great video man 👍

have people still not realised they can just pull their paraglider back out for a second to break your fall if you run out of stamina while in the air? It was one of the first things I tried doing.

3:19 Paraglider: COME ON IM HERE USE ME

1:46 It just looked so warm and colorful! I couldn't help myself. 🔥😫

love your editing style man, i can tell you put alot of effort into your content and it pays off!

With the glider stamina, I found that if you click the button to equip the glider just before hitting the ground, you get a second of gliding which can save your life

The one shrine you literally need to get zapped by lightening to activate it, made me crack up 😂

The pain when you go straight to death mountain with no fire proof armour or elixirs whatsoever and all I could do is to chew on a bunch of apples And I was very young when I first played botw so I knew nothing about horses and the fact you could go to the 4 devine beasts by following the paths so I did a lot of climbing and walking But it also means that I could explore other the beauty of the game which is truly wonderful

i remember dying to a kick from a horse after i first left the plateau with the paraglider. i thought i was being careful approaching the horse, but it kicked me and i died. i dont know why i was going around with only half a heart lol

Game-saving tip: If you've run out of stamina while paragliding, wait until you're about to hit the ground and hit x again. The game will give you a second or two or paragliding without stamina

During thunderblight gannon, i left and spent like 3 real life days getting the master sword 💀

I am so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't figure out what the heck was happening with the lightning XD I think one of the dumbest ways I've died though was right when I got off the plateau, I'm exploring the outpost ruins and not completely sure what I should do next when I see a little rock I'm standing next to start walking around. I guess I didn't immediately register as dangerous since it was so surprising and funny that it walked right up to me and one shotted me :l Also I'm curious how many people have done this, I went directly to the castle on my second playthrough for some gear and got stuck in the lynel guard gate, died several times before realizing there was no way I was equipped for this right now, climbed out through a window and then somehow got shot as the lynel aimed *through the ceiling*. I even tried running inside the castle and the arrows were still coming and would kill me the second I stopped moving, no matter how far away I got

That's actually how I got to Goron City for the first time. I just waited till i was at a half heart, saved my progress, then kept repeating the process over and over again until i made it 😂😂

2:10 I went to thunderblight first in my first playthrough and I think from the time I first fought him to when i got the master sword and beat him when i got it, I'm pretty sure it only took me like..3 or 4 times? Remembering the fighting patterns helps a lot :) I like recognizing patterns with enemies so it made that fight a lot easier.

2:58 the game does tell you kinda. It gives you audio and visual warnings before the strike and if you have your inventory open it has an animation icon thing over weapons telling you which ones attract lightning

One time I saw a Lynel and hid behind a rock. He then started shooting his killer arrows at me and no matter how far I tried to run he was still shooting them at me. I panicked

But the metal pillars are USEFUL (if you magnises one and touch thunderblight ganon with them he loses so much health) Also you forgot trying to pet wolves, yiga clan members & burning yourself (don’t ask how)

Pro tip for thunderblight: If you find the lightning balls annoying or difficult, you can get a wooden shield and your weapons won’t fall out of your hands when you block with it

Heres a tip to get past thunderblight phase 1: when hes shooting the orbs start running. but when starts going superspeed hold out ur shield until he hits it then use a sword and break his shield and then hit him.

The most times I died in a row was the first time on the plateau. Water near magnesis shrine I died like 4 times, until I gave up and went around River of the dead.. duh And finally, I died like 12 times trying to get off the great plateau tower, I didn’t realize there were stairs

Flower. Blight. Ganon. So, anyone remember that one girl with the flowers you aren't supposed to touch to get to the shrine? Well, I was being chased by a horde of skeleton moblins, and accidentally run into the flowers. just before I do, one of the moblins pulls a 2000 IQ move and shoots an arrow. the whole cutscene plays where the girl tackles me for stepping on her flowers, then I died immediately afterward. it turns out the moblin had shot the arrow exactly where I was going to be after the cutscene played. So yeah. I died to Flowerblight Ganon.

My dumbest way I died was the first time I played it. It was the release day of the switch, and we got botw with it, and I was the first of my siblings to play. We all gathered around, and it got to the first reveal of the whole kingdom, right outside of the shrine of resurrection. And then I just walked right off the cliff. Just flat on just pressed forward and fell to my death the second the cutscene ended. Literally the first thing that I did in the game. My siblings will never let me forget it.

on my first run, ur right, thunderblight was the thing i feared most and i probably died to it about 40ish times but after that, i never died to it ever again

I think I actually never died once to thunderblight🤔. It's honestly one of my favourite fights, tbh. It's so much fun getting the timing for flurry rushing correct almost every time! Idk, I just really enjoy this battle. And Lynels fighting them is also super fun🤩

When I first encountered a lynel in botw I thought it was good and approached it trying to be its friend and when I did it stared at me for a moment and then killed me…. That’s when I knew Lynels were enemies and or friends. :/

Teacher: You can't hear te- Me: Dumb Ways To Die~

Number 7 is soooooo relatable xD Great video!

I think the only one that never happened to me is the thunderblight. for whatever reason the fight with thunderblight, i pretty much just time the zig zags like i would a dodge or parry.

2:16 i haven’t died to thunderblight did the fight first try

Thunderblight took me a whopping 3 tries. I’m great at shield parrying and perfect dodging and figured out the perfect time for dodging his “flurry rush” move

you got me at the "swimming in freezing water" part

I have one thing EVERYONE died to: Your health reaching 0. I’ll take my comedy award now.

Well you see, one time i got outplayed really hard. You know lizard enemy have range attack with their tongue, instead of hitting me he hit the electric chuchu jelly beside me (happens laying around cuz i beat electric chuchu before) its just left me in shock, like literally in shock.

I remember exploring really far my first time out and I had the gale technique and decided I was going to get the heck out of dodge the MOMENT I took damage for over half my health from an enemy. I leaped into the air JUST in time for one of them to start playing 'Link the Pinata Boy' and batted me over the edge of a cliff and poor Link just rag doilled his way down the cliff, died, was revived via fairy and died again on the way down. I was laughing the entire time.

The problem with thunderblight phase II is he electrifies his weapon, I was shit out of luck when I only brought metal shields, but you can block with forest dweller or soldiers shield (or any other wooden shields)

I remember the first time I played, I didn't know you could teleport. Literally. Didn't Read. So I went into Hyrule field, and I saved somewhere in the middle of the field. Immediately after a Guardian noticed me. I had no idea how to beat it, how to block or parry. I tried to run but it would shoot me. That was my first save. I started over from scratch.

“There’s no way you haven’t died to thunderblight. Everyone that I talk to says it took like thirteen attempts to get home to phase 2.” Me who died once then beat him on my first playthrough: 😎

Shockingly enough, my first time in thunderblight was a simple experience. Even my father (who has played Zelda games since they came out) was shocked I beat it first shot.

On the ice shrine I didn’t know how to get there so I spent like an hour trying to figure it out. I ended up going around the mountain, over the cold river, and up behind the shrine 🤣🤣😂

Dying from the Paraglider Is probably 1 of the most Common deaths In the game where you forget you don't have it

The first time I played I went to the castle without knowing there were divine beasts So I went in there with a bunch of weapons and food and 7 hearts and instantly died to windblight thinking it was the final Boss and I had no idea what I was doing

"thank you grazzy and the bread pirate for voicing my starving children"

2:23 You can use Magnesis to move a pillar under Thunderblight and cause massive damage.

if you're stamina is out while flying, you can pull it out for a split second to break your fall also i fought thunderblight as my second boss and it wasn't hard. i did have rubber armor but it was only upgraded once so i still took some electric damage

If you die by 'running out of gliding stamina', you died of failure to comprehend there's clearly a button prompt to give you one last chance.

i beat thunderblight first try, by the end of it my hands were shaking. pro tip: bring a lot of fairies

First ever playthrough I jumped off the Ridgeland tower to do that paragliding distance test for that guy. There was a thunderstorm happening and I thought absolutely nothing of it and then of course was struck by lightning and died 😅

for almost the whole time I played botw my older sibling was somewhat guiding me (cause I'm minorly directionally challenged and it would've taken me over half the time if they didn't guide me) and the way I fought the first 2 divine beasts (Ruta and Rudania) was mainly just by panicking and a lot of luck so when I fought thunderblight ganon I did it on the first try and we kinda just sat there during the cutscene after wondering how I did it. Botw is such a great game and sometimes I wish that I hadn't had someone guiding me but other times I'm thankful cause I would've died a lot more if my sibling hadn't given me tips and information about some things.

I’ve heard people saying the thinderblight Gabon was easiest and I was so shocked because I tried like 6 times and nearly gave up

2:10 Sealios Spring: You have to have died from Thunderblight! Me: I haven't died from Thunderblight.

My first attempt at Thunder Blight Ganon, I already did the other 3 Divine beast's. I didn't die at all, but I think I had the thunder armour equipped so that might be it

Once, I started playing after my sister and was still on the great plateau and my sister was helping me with something and was on the tower, and I was like remember I don’t have the glider yet and literally 5 seconds later she jumped off the tower expecting to be able to glide.

On my first play through I spent 3 hours thinking you could get over the bridge in the ice area

4:00 Ain't No Rest for the Wicked?

I don't know how, but the only two dumb ways I've died are to Thunderblight and Lynels. I don't understand; it must have just been luck.

I knew about thunder blight so I spent 3 hours practicing parrying, backflips AND side hops just to beat it 3rd try (I died to phase 2 twice) and today I beat it on master mode for the 4th time and I beat it second try. some things never change and thunder blight is one of them.

Bobs in the fire reagent are awesome

I admit, I recently rode a horse right into a small fleet of Guardians at Central Tower and got killed. Like geez, I was trying to get to Kakariko Village and got turned around because the only compass direction on my location circle thing is NORTH!

"They never tell you that holding metal weapons gets you hit by lightning" Well, nobody directly says it, but it gives some hints 1- Sparks come from metal items 2- On the loading screens one of the tips is that this happens 3- It always has to be having a thunder storm when it starts to spark

"I know you've died to thunderblight" Oh ho ho, watch and learn, behold before you a man who has never died to thunderblight. I'm so naturally gifted. Waterblight however, waterblight I've died tooooo many times to.

Beat Thunderblight the first time but was killed by a lot of these other ways. Lynels, falling, freezing, guardians, Yiga clan the first time, and blown up by my own arrows and dumb Wizzrobes

Def guilty of pulling out bomb arrows THREE times in a row in the fire mountain and it not “clicking” until the third time 😂

Out of all of the Versions of Ganon for each divine beast, Vah Naboris and thunderblight Ganon was actually the easiest for me. I didn't fight him at first because everyone told me he was the hardest, lol.

The game tells you if you get strucked by lightning because lightning comes from your weapons... You can just doge it with the Thunderhelmet

I heard all about how bad Thunderblight was, then fought Thunderblight.....defeating him on first try THREE TIMES

Thunderblight only took me 5 tries.... P.S. He has less health if you fight him first and his attacks are super repetitive. Have Magnisis equipped before entering and bring fairies.

First time I played botw I activated the tower and was like “does this game have fall damage, oh obviously not cause there’s no way to get down from here.” And I just walked off the edge and stared at the game over screen for three minutes

I remember on my first playthrough I died to #5 because I wasn't aware that Bomb Arrows automatically exploded in Eldin

For the record the only beast I’ve died to is water light cuz I had 5 health, 4meals and my beast weapon was a Liza tri boomerang. But I discovered ancient proficiency, shock gear, ancient bows and arrows and the rest of them were easier than beating a silver bokoblon (that’s true btw)

Every time I've run out of stamina, i just fast travel out. Lol

For fighting thunder blight for the 2nd time in the DLC I just used Urbosas fury and then wait where it couldn’t kill me until it recharged

Fun Lynel Story: I was on the mountain shown in the video when the Lynel spotted me so I glided down to Zora's Domain but when I was gliding, a barrage of arrows came from the sky and killed me aftetr having glided away.

well, i may or may not spent my first 25 deaths trying to get down from the stasis shrine

bombs... just bombs. self detenation cue Arin Hanson from Game Grumps trying to shoot a bomb arrow in Vah Medoh's gondola and going ka-BOOM! because he didnt realize that there's an invisible wall in the gondola.... yeah i did that too the first time lol

On my first early game attempt on thunderblight Ganon, I got to phase 2, and then it took me 4 more tries to beat him.

Most common death? Bunch of monsters teaming up to form an angry mob to kill link. That really screws me up.

dont people know they have to prepare for thunderblight first? i died TWICE 😂

The Hylian hero can't even tread water lmao

I feel like I've been killed by bomb arrows on death mountain.

Thunder blight was my third divine beast, and by then I had the master sword, I don’t remember dieing to thunderblight, but retrying him form the dlc nearly killed me 10 times due to my controller disconnecting and reconnecting in the middle of movement, making my movement inverses somehow, but I still had 14 hearts so I survived like 5 head on attacks before fixing my controller with reconnection

A lynel killed me while I was under a roof.

Yeah, my best death story is when I died to my own bomb arrows in Death Mountain. I went through most of my stash, and game overed once, before I figured out what was happening.

When i started, looking back at heros path i repeatedly jumped into the cold waterx and didnt stop for another hour.

My first time playing I died in the very first pond you encounter on the Great Plateau where you dive into the flower ring to get your first korok seed.

reminds me of my first time playing breath of the wild, i did not know that rafts existed and i wanted to get to eventide so thats why i had to get *ALOT* of endura carrots and once i got there i saw a raft and i was like "NAWW"

This was my first legend of Zelda game ever and my boyfriend pranked me, telling me to throw a cuckoo of the mountain. I was so angry 😂

I swear im a godgamer when it comes to thunderbligt. 0 deaths
