Breath of the Wild player yeets themselves into the stratosphere

If you haven’t unlocked Revali’s Gale - a magical ability that lets you summon an updraft - in Breath of the Wild, there are more inventive ways to get some air time.

One player found a clever way to yeet themselves high into the sky by using physics.
