Gaming Dumb Ways to Die:

[thorasgar]

Trying to take on a Guardian with a tree branch.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Guardian Sword broke, opted for Guardian Spear--didn't have a shield when I pressed ZL; one laser shot, one kill.

Zapped to death by two Electric Keese in a thunderstorm trying to use Magnesis on a Traveler Sword to 'call' lightning.

Ignited an explosive barrel with a firey spear fighting Bokobuttholes.

Heat-resistant does not equal fireproof.

Climbing Death Mountain with Keese attacking, hoping they'd 'just get bored.'

Trying to use Fire Arrows on flowers to mess with 'Flower Shrine Girl' near enemies, hoping the enemies would incur her wrath.

Trying to enter Thyphlo Ruins from the east.

Knocked off a cliff by a Lynel.

Falling attempting to shoot every target by the Rito training area before it became a quest.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Go to the final zone knowingly you'll die. lol

 

[Hells Malice]

I found a ball on a chain for a korok challenge...had to drop it into a well.
I was curious if i could launch it, so I was attempting to sit it on a wooden beam above me and when I let go with magnesis it immediately dropped onto my head and killed me

 

[SonicCloud]

I must admit sometimes i randomly throw a bomb to some part and then make it explode , i have died some times because of that

 

[Kioku]

Struck by lightning while gliding.. Die

Fairy revives me in air.. Hit the ground.. Die.

If there's no where to cover, you're dead as shit. I kind of hate this but it's also fun to die this way.

 

[Apache Thunder]

I haven't had much in the way of silly deaths. Just the usual stuff like challenging enemies that were stronger then I thought. I've died from falling maybe 3 times so far.

However there was one time in a icy region where I mistook some mini Stone Talus enemies for rocks. They were the "ice" version so as soon as I "picked" him up, I immediately froze. I rushed up to him fast enough that he didn't dig him self out until I picked him up. I died with him falling on the ground upside down. It was hilarious. I recall he died along with me. They don't seem to take being upside down every well.

I was like "Hey some suspicious rocks. Maybe a Korok is hiding here." Then picked one up. "OH S**T IT'S ONE OF THESE F***KERS LOL."

Kinda feel accomplished that I managed to get up to one before they noticed me. They start out mostly buried so they look like rocks. I got up to it fast enough to pick one up before they woke up.

Maybe if it was a normal one I would have been fine, but man handling the ice ones is a bad idea...

EDIT: This was before I got the blue tunic thing, so I did not see health bars for them yet.

 

[VinsCool]

Climbed a mountain, got hit by a moblin, projected from the top, fell down, died from the height.
All of it after I ate all my food to get all my hearts.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Killed by a meal ingredient.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Killed by a meal ingredient.

That sounds like a dubious claim.

You don't have the glider yet? Even if you were at your limit, Link would still be able to save himself from falling heavily.

Really? I thought that when Link was knocked out, he couldn't do anything.

 

[HaloEffect17]

Beginning of the game. Went to peer over the cliff on the Great Plateau after the game opening sequence...

... walked too far. Rookie mistake.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Another one. Enemy got hold of TNT barrel that I mistakenly placed down instead of throwing it at him. He threw it at me...

 

[Rockhoundhigh]

Multiple attempts at pulling out the master sword.
Tried to use bomb arrows on death mountain.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Backing up from a Hinox with my arrows at his face, only to get an arrow in my back from a Lynel-like mini-boss nearby.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Knocked yes, bumped no. Zelda:BotW drains hours like it's nothing.

 

[KamazasBl]

last night was the funniest death i've ever had.

Pretending to be a bokoblin in a tower at the dessert strolling around with remaining half heart.
Decided to throw down a barrel down the tower to distract the enemies.
Accidently fell with a barrel.
Tried to survive so took out a paraglider which immediately made me change the falling speed.
The barrel immediately falls on me mid air taking the title of kill of the day.

 

[Risingdawn]

Near the magnesis trial is a lake with a chest, some metal boxes and some metal planks. Instead of building a bridge I built 'A Link-apault'.

Perfectly setup I stood the courageous Link upon the end of the 'Link-apault', holding a heavy metal box as high into the air as I could I prepared to launch towards yonder chest.

I released the box.

It plumetted towards the 'Link-apault'.

Down went the box, up went the Link, up went the metal plank spiralling like a chopper blade.

Down went the Link, landing perfectly on dry land, about a foot from his starting position, no where near the chest.

Down went the giant metal death plank, hitting with unnerving accuracy the helpless Link stood in essentially the same place he started.

Game Over.

That reminds me of a trial. I was stacking cubes and a platform to be able to reach the end of it. Stacked the cubes perfectly, added the platform to the end of it. Began to espalate the cubes tower, and only at this moment the platform decided to fall from the higher floor. Thus it hit the cubes tower, making it collapse while Link was still escalating. Fell on the floor, and the platform squashed Link. Game over.

I fucking hated this trial. I guess I must have spent over 30 minutes trying to build that cubes tower with the platform at the end of it, to be able to reach the end of this stupid trial.
