This is a fascinating discovery!&nbsp;<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Assembly is simple \u2013 you attach a Zonai Stabilizer to the base of the U-shaped block (that can be found in Right-Leg Depot). Then, to \u201cactivate\u201d the apparatus, you need to place the U-shaped block so that it\u2019s facing downwards, and climb up its inner wall so that you\u2019re almost holding onto the \u201cceiling\u201d (as seen in the video above). As you do so, the U-shaped block will gently lift off into the air. From there, you need to adjust your position to get the whole thing going diagonally upwards diagonally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re sure the block is travelling upwards at an angle, open up your Adventure Log and start playing a Memory cutscene. Then, skip the cutscene immediately and return to the game. The U-shaped block should start soaring into the sky at an astonishing speed. If you manage not to fall off, you should be able to reach the upper limit of the Sky in a matter of moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this technique doesn\u2019t use any source of power (i.e. a Zonai Fan or similar), it\u2019s captured the attention of the community, with many players exploring the possibilities of this newly found glitch. As Link\u2019s position on the block has a huge effect on its trajectory, there have also been cases of the block <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shio_0725_4040\/status\/1729825148143128770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">zooming off into the distance completely horizontally<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002.jpg\" alt=\"The U-shaped block, found in Right-Leg Depot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.\" class=\"wp-image-23594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231130-273952-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Why does the combination of a Stabilizer and a U-shaped block move on its own, and why does skipping a cutscene turbocharge this movement?
