The Tears of the Kingdom player solves the Oromuwak shrine puzzle with a rocket cart
And while the appearance of Tears of the KingdomOromuwak's shrine is designed to encourage players to launch into the air twice on their way to the end, Reddit user Minoiboisoy recently managed to complete the puzzle with a single long jump. They did this by accident, as their intention was to launch from the first ramp to the middle platform by attaching a Zonai Missile to the nearby mining cart. But because they taped the rocket to the right side of the car, they launched the entire device into the air and away from the rail it was supposed to slide on.
This proved better than expected, as the rocket was angled far enough to the left that it sent the cart flying to the end of the level, completely bypassing the lower midsection in the upper right corner of the room. Video footage documenting this strange feat later surfaced on the r/Zelda subreddit, much to the amusement of many others Tears of the Kingdom players. “The task failed successfully,” wrote one fan who talked about this feat of engineering.
Minoiboisoy is not the first player to accidentally stop half of the Oromuwak Shrine. Reddit user FemmePrincessMel came across the same rocket-powered solution in mid-May 2023, just days after the game's release.
This unusual way of completing A Launching Device serves to illustrate the key component that does Tears of the Kingdom puzzles as satisfying as they are: freedom. While all shrines have at least one simple solution, most can also be completed by thinking outside the box or even blindly experimenting with game mechanics.
