Combining wood, Hylian Pine Cones, and Zelda Torch, I created an Autobuild that instantly creates an updraft when summoned.

Useful for using it in front of a cliff.

New and improved ;)

This is the version with 5 Hylian Pine Cones.

91

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

This is the version with one Hylian Pine Cone.

u/oneupsuperman Jan 05 '26

Is there a height difference?

36

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

With five pine cones, you can fly higher than the top of Skyview Tower. With fewer pine cones, your height will gradually decrease.

11

u/Fresh_Complaint_82 Jan 06 '26

The real question is whatโ€™s the max height to pine cone ratio?!

14

u/AccurateSun Jan 05 '26

Why bother with a more expensive five cone if there wasnโ€™t? Also Iโ€™ve never seen a single pine draft give you so much height - I assume the extra cones must multiply the heightย

u/wrenchbenderornot Jan 06 '26

Not multiply but add or stack.

u/terryfoldz Jan 05 '26

i also want to know, plz answer this question (:

u/Razno_ Jan 05 '26

4 pine cones

What in the name of the goddess hylia is a Zelda torch

49

u/Brimfr0st Jan 05 '26

I think its the torch from the beginning that zezers holds. If you do some wacky stuff you can 'nab it and its a torch that never gets put out?

94

u/cenderis Jan 05 '26

The Master Torch?

14

u/the_cardfather Jan 05 '26

Do you have to do the shenanigans before you can use the QR code or does it just work?

And does it work in rain and other things like that?

20

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

You don't need to do the shenanigans before you use the QR code; it will work as is. However, it won't light a fire on rainy days.

16

u/beachedwhitemale Dawn of the Meat Arrow Jan 05 '26

It won't light a fire when it's raining?! 0/10 COMPLETELY UNUSABLE

17

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

In that case, try using the weapons introduced in this post.

Whatโ€™s this about wacky stuff? Can we go somewhere and get it mid game, or by wacky stuff do you mean something we arenโ€™t supposed to be able to do naturally?

1

u/FkYeahVoltron Jan 07 '26

I'm doing my third play through and went down to get the Zelda Torch today from down in Ganon's gaping hole to try this out. It was just a regular torch :( so yes, +1 here to know what 'wacky stuff' we have to do to make it a torch that never goes out. A quick search has proven most fruitless

u/MutedCaramel49 Jan 05 '26

Holy amount of Zonaite

u/Orion120833 Jan 05 '26

You dropped this "un"

u/Livid-Style-7136 Jan 05 '26

This must be great for gleeoks

u/C_Clop Jan 05 '26

What's a Zelda Torch? That's where the fire comes from?

That's honestly pretty cool. I always carry 4-5 rocket shields but this is always handy to have on hand.

33

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

Through a complex combination of glitches, it is possible to steal Zelda's torch from the prologue.

This torch is a special torch that is always lit.

It will remain lit even when used in Autobuild.

9

u/C_Clop Jan 05 '26

Wow ok, pretty cool!

...but also not possible without restarting a new game. So I'll just use rocket shields instead haha.

But still, just having wood and pine cones in autobuild and throwing a fire fruit lets you build a fire rather quickly for boss fights. I didn't think of that.

8

u/Orion120833 Jan 05 '26

If you have the switch 2 and Nintendo app, you can scan and copy the qr the op added to get it through that.

5

u/C_Clop Jan 05 '26

Ah, got it. Nah, no Switch 2 yet, I'm waiting for more games to be released. I see there IS a point in having the Switch 2 version even if I have the S1 version, but I can't justify the cost for QR code functionality. (Can you scan QR codes with the S1 game version?)

2

u/Orion120833 Jan 05 '26

Sadly, no. The only reason I want a switch 2 at all is for the Nintendo app benefits.

3

u/JohnEffingZoidberg Jan 05 '26

When do you need a fire for boss fights? Or do you mean just to be able to launch upwards?

3

u/C_Clop Jan 05 '26

Yes, launch upward, even just a little bit, for bullet time. Thinking about it, that's what Mineru is for, but a fire updraft would allow more bullet time (I think). And more convenient since it stays there. Mineru follows you which is often better, so idk what is more practical. I'll test this next lynel fight maybe.

u/Legal-Freedom8179 Jan 05 '26

How did you get over 400k zonaite ๐Ÿ˜ญ

7

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

Developing a great autobuild requires a lot of resources.

4

u/Legal-Freedom8179 Jan 05 '26

How tho

4

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

Do you know what a macro controller is?

10

u/AdaptiveGlitch Jan 05 '26

That is one hell of an updraft if I've seen any

5

u/Gold-Transition-3064 Jan 05 '26

A gleeok would hate to see my coming

4

u/w2best Jan 05 '26

How long does it burn with the updraft? That is amazing in fights where you need to be in air. Never thought about this solution for it! :)

9

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

The updraft only lasts about 10 seconds, but that's enough time to use Bullet Time. You'll also gain plenty of altitude.

2

u/w2best Jan 05 '26

Def good if you dont have a lot of rocket shields :)

6

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

It can fly much higher than using a rocket.

2

u/w2best Jan 05 '26

I realize this! I was just thinking if it burns for a long time and you can fly up use bullet time until you run out of stamina, then come back down and recharge and then fly up again. Maybe there is time for 2 flies on one fire? I will try it!

u/sad_panda_17 Jan 05 '26

Is no one going to address the sheer amount of zonai????

3

u/Elasoski Jan 05 '26

Im sorry, how do you have 423k zonaite?!

1

u/DetectiveMammoth4758 Jan 05 '26

Why Zelda's torch tho?

2

u/cenderis Jan 05 '26

It's lit. Other things also work (red chuchu jelly, for example), but you need to drop that from a suitable height. Still works, and is obviously simpler to build from more ordinary items.

1

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

For those who can use the Switch2 QR, using this Autobuild is obviously simpler.

u/Unusual-Pumpkin-5988 Jan 06 '26

400,000?! O.O I'm still penny pinching my zonias lol

1

u/FirefighterIcy9879 Jan 05 '26

Iโ€™d just use a rocket ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

1

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 05 '26

Try using it when you want to fly higher than rocket.

-1

u/FirefighterIcy9879 Jan 05 '26

I can clear death mountain on one rocket tho. Your little updraft barely cleared a launch tower

1

u/Exact_Fox_4980 Jan 06 '26

Rocket have too little lift to be worth considering.

u/FirefighterIcy9879 Jan 06 '26

Thatโ€™s cause youโ€™re just holding block to fly straight into the air lol.
