An expert Breath of the Wild player reacted beautifully to a Moblin throwing a Bokoblin their way, turning the potentially perilous situation into a friendly game of baseball. Well, it's friendly for the player and the Moblin - not so much for the unlucky Bokoblin who gets snatched up, hurled into the air and parried off a cliff by the player. What a way to go.

If you've never seen a Moblin use a Bokoblin as a projectile, this video will likely be a treat right off the bat, but it gets even better when the player sees what's coming, whips out their shield, and executes a flawless parry that deflects the poor Bokoblin into the air. The Boko nearly recovers from the humiliating attack, but the momentum from the parry sends it tumbling over a massive cliff. But don't worry, it probably died of embarrassment long before the fall.

In the agonizing wait for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, people are constantly experimenting in Breath of the Wild and sharing their discoveries online. One recent example reveals a handy magnesis trick to turn off Guardians' brains and give you some extra time to down them. If you're truly desperate for something to do, here's a Breath of the Wild glitch you can exploit to fly around the map without a paraglider.

Staff Writer

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
