Elevation

I was thinking about this. Going up and down between the sky and Earth all the time would really put your inner ear out of whack. And it would have a hard effect on Link's attitude. How much oxygen is up there in Skyloft anyway?

Re: Elevation

Pouring a gallon of water on lava doesn't create a platform either.

It's called a video game, the laws of science don't apply.

This.

And: It's a ~*magical island*~ so I assume everything that shouldn't work about it, does. I mean, how does their water supply not run out? Magic island. How can such a huge landmass just FLOAT? Magic island.

Etc.

Re: Elevation

And here I thought this thread would be about how, at various points over the course of the game, Skyward Sword did a fantastic job of creating a sense of elevation and the breathtaking views that resulted. How disappointing . . .

In an attempt to salvage the thread, let me say that I hope with increasing technological capability, Nintendo continues to give their worlds more of a vertical dimension. I doubt I'm alone when I say that elevation is epic. I don't just want flat fields. I want hills and complex architecture and memorable views.

Well, they're is still air above the clouds, even in real life. It's just thinner, but possible to breath. Either way, it is just a video game.

Re: Elevation

They're probably used to the thin air up in Skyloft.

I do know that people - especially those who live in the Himalayas - have no problems walking back down to sea level from the altitude they generally live in. The oxygen is just thicker as you descend, but I'm not sure if they run into any sudden health problems since they're used to thin air.

... I'm probably over thinking it, but yeah.




I guess you could also ask how Mario even breathes in space in Mario Galaxy.

Re: Elevation

Ask Kirby this question. He is capable of flying indefinitely in some games. Yes, he walks on clouds without falling through. I wonder how Kirby can breathe vacuum in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. If this can be explained properly, then Link can also breathe in thin air.

Re: Elevation

"It's just a video game" replies do not contribute to discussion. I am correlating real life aspects to the game. It's made for an innocent, fun discussion. Not for bashing people for there topics.

maybe Link could have health problems, I mean, he goes up and down from the land below up to the sky a lot. Or he just gets used to it.

I am not bashing the thread, but the fact is , there are many inconsitencies with the game and real life. Altitude obviously has no affect on the Hylians, and there seems to be enough oxygen in the sky to survive.

Maybe Skyloft is not as high up as we anticipated.
