Uses

Allows Link to travel a decent amout of vertical or horizontal distance

A Rocket Launch is a type of Stasis Launch used in Breath of the Wild. Performing this technique can allow Link to travel a decent amount of horizontal or vertical distance without taking damage or needing to use the Paraglider.

How-To Perform

  • Stasis the object (usually a cut tree or large boulder) and hit it repeatedly to build up momentum.
  • Use a two-handed weapon spin attack and face away from the object to get multiple hits in. After building up plenty of momentum, shoot it with an arrow in the direction you would like the object to launch.
  • For trees, cut the tree down and Stasis it as it is falling.
  • Climb and grab onto the object. For trees, grab the top or side of the tree. For boulders, grab the side of the boulder. Be sure to not be standing on the object.
  • Wait until Stasis wears off.

Uses

  • Getting to high places without using a lot of stamina or Revali's Gale.
  • Crossing a distance of land faster than running.
  • Crossing gaps rather than going around them.
  • Crossing gaps on the Great Plateau before getting the Paraglider.
  • In speedruns, Rocket Launches are allowed in Normal and Bug-Limit categories.
