Reddit user Dry_Ad_406 shared the forty-nine-second clip which shows Link using his various new abilities to create a platform that launches Link high into the air above the Sky Islands. In the clip Link is seen throwing a spear attached to a board before freezing it, he then fuses the spear to another board, and then rewinds the spear. As a result the board Link’s standing on is lifted upwards incredibly fast, sending him skyward.
