The ACTUAL Tallest Build in Tears of the Kingdom (Ft. a really long stick) 

I made the grave mistake of watching 7:21 at 2x speed

You should now put this on the highest sky island and see how tall it gets.

For most of this video I was unsure why he didn’t just use the ruined houses in lurelin village, the old structures before you repair the village are designed to hold logs perfectly vertical

The first time I saw a gleeok, I entertained the notion of making a long stick to poke it to death with from a safe distance; preferably by adding a pointy bit at the end like a spike ball or something else that won't break. I'm mostly curious if it'll still attempt to aggro Link and destroy the stick even he's far away or it'll simply allow itself to be poked if he's outside of its detection.

You could always grab it with Ultrahand, rotate it around a couple times, then use recall while holding onto it to travel around in a massive circle.

I think the measurement was off because the long stick has some flex in it, meaning that distance was going into the curving of the entire structure rather than the total height

From what I noticed, it might be closer to 336 meters tall because the tower was not perfectly straight. I recommend going to hebra mountain, find out the elevation at a lower level, summon the stick, then hold it in the air and recall it. After that, you should be free to glide down and find out how tall it really is.

I am immensely disappointed that you didn't try to launch that stick from the tower to see how high it would go.

This is just, perfection, there’s no way we can improve this, this is peak human performance

Pointcrow’s log, Fredwick (the first longest log in history) has passed away before this month, and ever since after his death, already 10000 logs have broke the record of being the tallest log ever, and this log is now the tallest log in history, but Fredwick will be in our hearts for eternity. Fly high, king 🕊️

You should see if you could use it as a bridge from soka point (almost luren village) to eventide island! It would be cool to see that happen.

There is a quest where you rebuild the Lurelin Village. The house ruins provide you with structures that are made for wooden trunks to stand up straight. Only requirement for this is you have not finished the questline yet. I think these would be perfect places to test this build.

In theory you could accomplish this anywhere you wanted by using a pair of hoverstones instead of a tunnel. The stick is only contacting the tunnel at one point anyway, so you could use two hoverstones to form a corner to rest it against near the middle of the stick (or even the top) and get the same effect. It would be hell to set up though - you'd have to set up the stick first and then get up near the middle/top to stabilize it, which would probably mean you have to repeatedly use recall to hold it in place, fire a hoverstone upwards, ascend to it, cancel and reactivate the recall, and repeat. If you did this on the floating island above lookout landing you should be able to climb all the way to the height limit though.

I am going to continue making silly videos (like this one) for the next few weeks while I collect trivia for a Fact Video. Let me know if you have any ideas for videos!

The video the world needed

The depths one is interesting. I think this indicates that there is in fact a floor until you get into the depths at which point it moves you into the lower section and eliminates the floor

I was waiting for the moment where you would press 'Examine' and launch the whole thing into space! 😂😂

Replace the bottom log with a stake and mount it at the top of that highest skyview tower. That would make the tower plus the big stick into the tallest structure possible. Alternatively, plant the stake bottom to the highest point of Death Mountain. That would make it the tallest non-floating point in the game.

the amount of creative thinking and effort you put into this silly idea is impressive, well done bread! 🍞

If it has not been mentioned before, if you can have a maximum of 21 items together and 2 that are separated from the main one. If you wanted the true tallest thing, you could place 2 attached logs in the skytower and then place the 21 logs on top without attaching. This way it is true maximum :)

You could add a floating zonai platform inside the shiekah tower, then put the big stick in. You probably wouldn't be able to ascend through it because it's not perfectly vertical, but it might be worth a shot

As a hobbyist game developer in my younger days; and a software developer currently I'm really impressed by ToTK (and to a lesser extent BoTW). What Nintendo have achieved on the hardware available is quite remarkable. Not only is the physical / material interaction system impressive in it's own right; having the complexity of the fuse system on top and the overall good performance of the game (yes I know sometimes it's not perfect), but diving from a sky island right down to the underworld is very cool (LOD mipmapping and view distance are of course not amazing but they're really not bad; it works quite well & is quite seamless). The most important thing is that Nintendo have made a game that is INCREDIBLY fun! There are endless things to do; so much content and fun little deviations & distractions. I really think this is the most impressive game I've played in recent years when considered as a whole. If only the sages were summoned with a different button to the main action button I would struggle to find anything that I don't like about the game. It's a completionist's paradise, a great game for engineering minds, a brilliant action, adventure, RPG and I'm not usually a fan of paid DLC but for this game I wouldn't mind at all!

Link took the phrase “Speak softly and carry a big stick” to the next level.

It’d be interesting to find out the tallest possible *freestanding* structure (no spikes to hold it in place). Would actually be an interesting design challenge.

NEW CHALLENGE: So the South Lanayru Sky Archipelago has Valor Island on it, which happens to be the highest point in the game (possibly on par with the boats flying above the Wind temple, though it feels higher). It also happens to be a circular object where this same structure could be placed to get to the theoretical highest possible point in the game. I mean you could try a shorter structure if it fits at the very top and still reaches the highest point or some form of a rocket/baloon contraption, but challenge here is to get as HIGH as possible in Tears of the Kingdom.

From the second you explained you had to make a foundation it seemed obvious to me the easiest thing would be to just put it inside a tower.

You could also probably hold the stick in place much tighter, much higher using just 2 elements. A rail sled thing (Right Leg Factory, I think) and one of those poles that can just glue into surfaces.

I remember finding this channel under/around 100 subs. I barely comment but I just wanna say it's so col how large this channel has gotten and how much quality content this channel punps out. Well deserved!

The sacrilege of sticking the stick in a tower and not even trying to test if you can activate the tower to toss it in the sky...

i guess you can say he was sticking to his goals

I think it would be cool to have a wacky devices video, because in my play through I rarely created things. We need inspection!

You should stack boxes unconnected all the way up for Tower and then rest the stick on top of the stack of boxes inside the skyview Tower

Fascinating to learn these ins and outs.

You can break it from the bottom of the tower and it could be sorta like that skyward sword minigame xD

Give this men the world record, good job Bread

"Anybody have an idea on what to do with a 300m long stick?" Me: . . . . I do, but I am not proud of the things that come to mind

"depths dont work, hear that link?" **Link kills himself out of sheer rage**

I love your videos I only found them a week ago but they’re a work of art

You could try setting it up in the skydive challenge islands. One of them starts at 2600m in the air. They are cylindrical, so it might be able to support it enough to get higher.

It’s nice to see such attention and s as work was put into this ❤

I really love your videos, keep up the good work!

Be careful. You might accidently poke zelda's eye out with that giant stick.

If you were to do this in the sky, the best I can think of is maybe one of the sky orbs with the holes in them. Just make the hole vertical so it can hold the mega log up

I just found your channel a few days ago and I’ve been binging your videos. Your content is really entertaining and I love Gremlin Link it’s hilarious.

Two minutes in and had an idea: Build the 21 trees' longest item, save to auto-build, and go to the village you have to rebuild from pirate attacks DURING THE REBUILD PHASE, stick the long stick in the hole where the palm tree should go... its made to support a tree vertically.

Bring it to sky islands and see if you can bridge across the huge gaps.

Dude I love your videos. they always make me laugh for some reason or other.

Man, I haven’t seen you since you had 14,000 subscribers. It’s crazy that you got this big good for you.

4:27, just use a stake and the "c" block from the spirit temple (the one that youre supposed to use to go up the rails with one of the arms) and place it next to a wall so the logs dont fall (you can also do this in the sky islands

Put it on a sky island!

So happy to see you and a really long stick collab

This video was already great but the Galavant reference put it firmly into GOAT tier

The Lorax is mad

Can you put it on a sky island? Like what if you put it in one of those fragmented vertical islands. How high can you stand in this game?

Now we need to make building and stabilizing this stick a speedrun category and call it "Compensation%"!

I love how dedicated to your outfit you are

I just beat this game, and I love how I can watch this! Lets me know that there is a lot more things then I thought! Also congested on padding 100k subs! Great work!

Tightrope walk across the volcano

Casuals:”I’ll build a flying machine to reach sky islands!” Pros: “stick”

Galavant has the single greatest last line of any show ever. Also, nice stick.

Cool! I'm not sure if this is possible but if there were some way to put the stick on one of the sky islands that would be cool! Then make a rocket or spaceship on a hoverstone with autobuild and go up from there.

Ok, but what if you use the tower while the stick is in there?

At 8:50 in the video, you played with the boundary toggle from ground to sky. This made me think of the new dupe method for 1.1.2. Perhaps you could could check this out for us by finding the lowest platform in the sky and beginning a top-down approach. With the first piece being a stake anchor, you could potentially make a platform reaching down with a basket at the bottom to catch the dupes. Have that basket attached to a long log on a big wheel and use a steering stick to toggle on and off the basket for up and down for collection. Just a thought. Having a pre build saved for a mobile duping platform would be cool.

I was not expecting a Galavant reference. I love that show.

i have an idea (spoilers) maybe try putting the stick in the hyrule castle depths to see if you could reach the castle just by climbing the stick? or the area before the semi-final fight (boss rush place) to the platform?

What happens if you try to launch out the tower while it's inside of it? I wanna see that

Great job loved the video

Random galavant reference threw me off lol, wasn't expecting that in a zelda vid. Interesting video though, I love the creativity these games have stoked.

I wonder what would have happened if you used the tower with the stick in there

Imagine if you could fuse this to a weapon

Funny, I had my own "long stick" adventure. I was in the shrine where you have to build things with logs. Most of the puzzles involve building a bridge or ramp. The final puzzle intends for you to build a boat, and since you can't take out Zonai devices in shrines those necessary are provided. Also provided is a larger than necessary pile of logs with which to build your boat. I instead used all of the logs, plus another five or so from the previous puzzle, to make a bridge long enough to reach the goal. It was at least eleven or twelve logs long. Physics get weird with long/large builds.

the very end of the video, where you were cutting down the long stick (or at least trying to) reminded me of the bamboo minigame in skyward sword. it'd be cool to see that recreated

What would happen if you tried to use the tower while the stick is in it?

I have a theory. What about using the lurelin village partially repaired buildings? They have a base to hold a tree trunk, and a little ring to kinda secure it. I think if you got the base of the tree in there, it would hold

I never thought I'd hear you giggling like a madman Bread 5:30 😂 Also you have an AMAZING singing voice, it's so rich and amazing. Also this was super fun to watch, would have watced it sooner but I just got Totk a few days ago and I didn't wanna watch anything related to in until I made some decent progress. I didn't know about Auto-build though. What is that?

It never ceases to amaze me that the game allows this to happen, is able to even handle it... and that there's a sizable community trying out all kinds of wacky builds.

Why didn’t you just… use the holes in the buildings in Lurelin Village while it’s being re built?

im very disapointed you didnt use the skyview tower while the stick was in it

Now you’ve got to make the widest stick

"The tallest build in the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom" is beginning to feel like "The biggest ball of twine in minnesota" brilliant video. I got so invested in you finding a solution. I know it would just despawn, but how hilarious would it be if you activated the tower and it just launched this pole up also, dragon ball fans, this felt familiar, right? and at the end, total Skyward Sword bamboo-cutting flashbacks.

Can you try going to the tallest sky island and put the giant stick on it? Maybe changing the bottom one to a Zonai Stake so that it holds. I just really wanna see the maximum height you can get in the map!

Lol I just randomly came across this video in my recommended and I'm 99% sure we went to the same college. Very entertaining video btw and now I gotta make the worlds longest stick in TotK as well!

Of all the things for nintendo to think of, not letting you put a big stick as a pole through the depths is pretty funny

For reference, this thing is only 100 feet short of the height of the Empire State Building. Link is an absolute madman

I tried using a giant stick made of those trees to transport a korok up a mountain. It kept breaking and sending him into the depths.

1 summon stick 2 place in tower 3 ultrahand stick up and down 4 climb to top of stick 5 use recall on stick see how high it truly takes you 6 repeat steps 1-5 then jump off see how long it takes to glide to the ground with lvl2 glide suite (will take you farther, be sure to bring plenty of stamina boosting food) 7 repeat steps 1-6 on highest sky island.

Now make the tallest stick and put it on the highest point of the world, let’s see if you can reach the flying kingdom

Haven't yet finished the vid, however a good location to try if you didn't, would be the lurelin village while it's under construction. (need to beat the "pirates", and there are a bunch of things designed to hold logs.)

I like his little conversations with link

Good job link,thank you:)

It's interesting how the climbing is programmed with the towers. Even though you can climb the tree surface, since it's inside a tower, it takes on the properties of a sheikah structure.

There is one of those Spherical sky islands that you can move around manually from the inside. If you place two stakes on the hole just right, maybe you can start the base of your really long stick higher than the highest point of the one you placed in the Lanayru Tower? Set the opening of the hole on a 45 degree angle from the top, put two stakes at the top of the hole to keep the stick vertical when it rests against the opening and place the stick in between. Maybe it will reach higher than the highest point on any of the sky islands.

you see the hat?! i'm. mrs. nesbit! (nice buzz reference with the wasted academy training!)

Omg, the is literally my first thought about this idea

Fredrick will always be in our hearts.

There is a small island far above Lookout landing and I remember it having a hole in the middle of it. I'm pretty sure it is the highest stationary platform in the game, and it took me 40 rockets and a floating platform to get to, and if you got there you could set a teleport thing on it for traveling to place without easy access. Also, if you used the stake to sacrifice some hight, you could see how high you could really get.

Just think about all of the thinking that went into this.

The stick settled at a bit of an angle so it probably wasn't standing at max height. I recommend setting the stick down on flat even ground and just walking from end to end. As long as it is set up north south or east west, the y or x coordinates should give an accurate reading

You're really funny Mr. Bread Pirate 🤭 😆 it's been a long time since I subscribed to someone new lol 😊

lurelin village has a quest where you put logs as a foundation for buildngs. the buildings have a hole in the middle that fit the logs perfectly to stand up
