I can't imagine it work at that size in real life, It'd probably have to be the size of a hang-glider or para-glider to get any real gliding.

Hylians are smaller and lighter than IRL humans. Link is 5 feet , 2 inches in NuZelda. He can survive falls at terminal velocity into water. He would have to weigh less than 80 lbs. (The weight of a Golden Retriever.)

also you can read the abbreviation as "nifty"

Wetting the fabric with a spray bottle before painting with acrylics works great for not having it all absorb into the fabric like that. You can also thin it out with some water and do more than one coat to get it more even.

Bro, you're killing it of late! You've always been one of those creators that bring a smile to my face for years, so keep up the excellent work. We need more like you on this platform.

A+ for the cosplay commitment! What a cool project!

This was actually incredible, really shows you went above and beyond getting this thing to look like the (virtual? Real?)… the thing you see in game. And the link cosplay was just the cherry on top of an already great cak!

I gota say, my first thought while watching you try to glide was, the locals peering out their windows and seeing a dude dressed up in some weird costume trying to fly around is not what they expected to ever see🤣🤣love your work, mate😉👍

I remember when Zelda was kinda of a niche game where people were more familiar with Mario. Nowadays I think Zelda thanks to Breath of the Wild is much more well known.

Stitching cloth together is underrated, and a good skill to learn.

practicality aside, that was a very well made looking glider.

Reply before watching: yes gliders work as long as the upward force of the air resistance on the glider screen is close enough to the gravitational pull on the object holding the glider. It's been too many years for me to know exactly how much, but in short yes! If this glider does... Eeehhh I think it will be too small

Nice work! :) It's a great replica! by the way : at 12:12 , I am 100% agree with you when you said the designers don't have to worry about if the thing can actually works , I’ve had similar issues on one of my project !

the size is obviously an issue, but I think you also needed more slack on the fabric. It was pretty tight, so even if it was bigger it wouldn't really "balloon" up much to catch air. Ofc, real paragliders are firm as well, but they're MASSIVE compared to the rider. To get away with being smaller, you'd need a larger fabric to wood ratio, effectively making the sail bigger without making the whole build bigger.

@@goldenlotus3046 i mean to be fair with a real glider if it's bit properly you can feel it "catch" even if you drop at ground level. It wont DO much, but you can feel enough to know the glider might actually work. And I really don't think this one was gonna work regardless XD

My personal theory is that, much like in the divisive movie ‘John Carter’, the gravity in the LoZ world is much less than our own. Not to the point where Link can jump a hundred feet in the air, but enough to allow the air resistance to provide enough lift for the glider to work. Either that or thiccc air 😅

I'd say the atmosphere is denser and the gravity is higher. He falls at the same terminal velocity in a dive as a human on earth does. I believe a higher gravity and a denser atmosphere would allow for both this and the paraglider.

Nate you forgot to build in one MAJOR factor, you needed to build in lift for it to glide, you could have used the same design but with much bigger wings and fabric that generates lif.

Hey Nate so glad you are doing so well! keep it up!

Didn't see the channel name at first, but I had this on in the background, and finally looked at it, saw Nate for only a split second and thought "TKOR?" and I looked closer and realized, no, but it IS Nate

love the quality full length content. would love to see some the material you make the shorts with as full videos as well, even with longer release windows.

Its likely Links glider is enchanted with something like "Feather fall" 4x bigger and use linen bedsheets embedded with beeswax

even if things were not done correctly all throughout or something it still looks like an amazing cosplay piece and art piece, so cool

Looks super cool! I'd love to find out what you'd have to do to make something like that functional.

@@technopong I had to do some research into hang gliders some time last year, and wingspan does appear to be one of the biggest things to deal with to start. You get a better glide ratio (distance forward/distance down, literally a number for your downward slope) with a lower aspect ratio (related to wingspan relative to chord lengths I believe. A wing that looks closer to an equilateral triangle will glide better but be less maneuverable. A wing that looks like two long right triangles stuck together will be more maneuverable but more likely to get a beginner killed), which is in turn related to your wing load (which is your wing size relative to the weight of whatever you're carrying underneath it). Assuming I'm recalling all of the above info correctly (there's a good chance at least some of ^that^ isn't quite right), you then have a bunch of aerodynamics calculations to get through so that you can figure out the specific shape to make your aerofoil cross-sections based on drag from wind acting on different parts of the wing.

@nameforcomments4092

You have to hold 2 wings, 1 wood, and 1 ‘aero kit’, throw them in a pot, and wait till the music stops. Add monster parts to customize. The ‘aero kit’ may be fictitious in both the game and real life, and what constitutes ‘monster parts’ in real life is open to horrific interpretation.

Kudos at 3:27 for not also going squirrel when dogo did. Always important when using power tools to resist the urge, lol

Someone actually brought the glider to life, that is what I call commitment 👏👏👏👏👏 You should try testing it in a rec center pool, that way you’d have a high enough altitude and a safe landing👍

Excellent work Nate!

Nates new arc is Cosplay. I like it.

I believe you are the true succesor to the King of Random. You have the same spark Grant had when he was running it (R.I.P. Grant), while the current TKOR channel puts out 5-minute craft-esc content and is in a severe nose dive.

This was great, you should do more video games builds

My grandpa calls that tool the speed widdler, and its his favorite christmas present ever.

Love these videos! Keep it up.

Wow, this video is great, loved the idea! It would be interesting if you could make a glider that works and make it look as close as the one in the game.

good job. this reminds me of some of the old school cool project from the past. part cospay, part random, all awesome.

It looks so good! Now if only real life physics were the same as tears of the kingdom haha

This was loads of fun to watch!

Nice job on the glider, Nate! I'm so surprised that you still have all your fingers, although to be fair as a fellow maker myself, I do this type of "finger vice" all the time when dealing with super glue. I've only lost -2 fingers, and some of them are now make of wood.

Looks really cool

Yeah, so I'll admit I thought the thumbnail was a shot of the actual game, amazingly accurate job Nate.

this was amazing omg

Lets go Nate!! Didn't know you were into Zelda!

Woah, that's really impressive!

it's some bit of crafting you've done there Nate! definitely not practical but it sure looks great! though I love seeing you wing it... I cringed everytime I saw you perform some questionably safe "techniques" with power tools. > as for testing... I was half expecting you to ride strapped to the back of a pickup truck & seeing how fast you need to be going for it to start pulling you up (though I'd imagine the fabric would tear from its anchor points before that happens) anyway, cheers & looking forward to your next build!

Complete ineffectiveness notwithstanding, that's still a really cool display piece. Nice work! When's the sequel where you make one 10 times bigger so you can actually glide coming? XD

I sent it to a shop teacher I wanted to have a stroke, but he survived and heard the narration. Long story short I'm on the run and need new instructions.

As a Tailor, I can tell you that the Imagery on the Fabric is done by Fabric and Not paint, and the Fabric that's on the wood Kite itself is made from Rib Nit Fabric as it needs to Stretch to fit. Just a heads up! Here's an Idea, Make the Kite the same size as those Sky Diving Kites u see in the air, make it that Big and I think you're good to go!

That's pretty awesome!

Nate you ROCK

I love it! Glad I am not the only Nate that likes Zelda games.

Anyone who tried jumping off a wall with an umbrella as a kid remembers the sore disappointment and/or injuries of trying to glide like Mary Poppins.

this was amazing! Gonna go viral!

There's really something to be said for this style of making. Sometimes you've gotta buckle down and do detailed high-quality work, but if that's not necessary, there are no rules - cheat till you win!

That's awesome, that would make a great decorative piece hung up on the wall since it doesn't actually work but at least it looks good!

Great job! It's so accurate! And I love the costume! 😆

I wondered for two years where you went from tkor, now i found your videos based on a topic I love, incredible!!!!!!!

I know the leather was also for decorative, you could also use sinew on projects like that, it shrinks and holds tighter than that veg-tan will.

bigger. BIGGER. That was fun to watch!

This was cool! Also, I'd recommend fabric paint instead of acrylic paint, especially from that brand, it's not ideal on fabric. It will begin to crack from sun exposure or a few washes later, but it looks so neat regardless!

Glad you’re doing well man, watched you since you were on tkor, didn’t know you had your own channel tho. Subscribed now tho

Pretty much identical to the Umbrella parachute glider, pretty much as a young kid we think we can float gently down a hill with dads umbrella so we take it out side open it up and jump down a slight hill, to our dismay it doesn't work like we though it would. Did the same thing with an oversized patio umbrella at about 6 to 7 times the weight and well it still doesn't work. LOOOL

Super cool. Also, kind of reminds me of jumping off my grandma's roof with an umbrella because I saw marry poppins on TV lol

I will say the same thing that got me blocked from tkor. You are really great with your hands, most creative person I know, thank you Nate!! So glad I subbed:)

Great video!

think it needs to be like 8-10x the size to work even a little and by that time you might as well make it mountable lol

Good looking glider! As someone who's currently playing the game I'll mention that it's my assumption the fabric is probably a little thicker in game, that i don't know what kind of wood they use (that doesn't catch on fire lol) and that you'd want the glider parallel to the ground instead of pointing upward.

Finally someone did it!

Love these vids

Nate looks great as Link.

So when ya making an autonomous gunship with cannons from Zelda TotK? Great video, by the way! What a fun project. you nailed it! (no pun intended...)

Try having Tulin do his wind thing, that might help.

This is awesome! Imagine using like kevlar or some that parachute are made from to make one that can actually fly

Nice! Your drilling technique makes me nauseous with worry, but you made it through mostly intact, so that’s a win.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. It's a nice glider, but you definitely need 3 stamina wheels to use that thing.

It would have to be around 20' edge to edge to carry you across the yard.

Needs little bit more of a curve to catch the wind like a sail. A little bit wider and longer. But in general that small of a glider that low to the ground with less air to grab person would need to be the size of a thin 6 year old I think

Heads up Nate! The next major game coming out is Diablo IV in June, so get ready 😂

4:52 This is how me trying to craft in Tears of the Kingdom always ends.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of woodworkers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. 😆

They make some type of foam gliders like this that you hold onto and jump down steep hills. I've seen people messing with them at beaches before.

Love it! But definitely missed opportunity on using Zelda lo-fi for your background music lol 😂

The true king of random may have lost the crown, but still lives on a strong life

As you asked, a skein refers to how the thread is wrapped and not what it is made of, so yes, it's still called a skein.

Well Nate, if anything, you set yourself up for doing a great Link cosplay. If you decide to go to conventions, hopefully I'll see you at Anime Central in Chicago next year.

Didn't expect the full costume LOL

I would totally buy one of these with the twilight fabric and some glow effect if it was possible 👀

i thinked when i watch the miniature, oh is a kite but no xD you are the real heir of Grant, the king of random nate; greetings from venezuela

Wow beautiful 🤟 build wish there's a kite version of it. i would totally buy it

Nate the reason the paint is absorbing so much is that you are using fabric medium with acrylics you should just use actual fabric paint it works a ton better.

Now to scale it up for it to work! :D

Just imagine if Link was given a paraglider that weighed more than him and didn't work.....

when measuring for size, just assume that the character is your overall size and take the measurement from that. Then the thing you make ends up looking like it's the right size compared to the user.

There is definitely a difference in how links glider looks when it's just an item sitting there, and when he is up in the air. When he is actually using it, it looks like allot of fabric.

It's too heavy to work as a kite let alone be able to transport you. It's a grand attempt and would make any collector's dream item. It's spectacular and doesn't need to work.

Balsa composite. It needs to be so much lighter than it is, and under any stress, the connections you have and the fabric you're using won't hold. Canvas.

you are the best living part from TKoR and not that ur toying with TotK i enjoy this even more!!!!!!!!
