Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Rocket Cart Helps Player 'Fail Successfully'

Key Takeaways

  • One Tears of the Kingdom player found a way to skip half of the Oromuwak Shrine puzzle by launching themselves in the air with a rocket cart.
  • While this was done completely by accident, at least one other fan had previously stumbled on this unconventional solution for “successfully failing” the Oromuwak Shrine puzzle.

As a seasoned adventurer in the realm of Hyrule and a devoted fan of The Legend of Zelda series, I must say that Tears of the Kingdom has once again proven to be a testament to Nintendo’s innovative game design. Witnessing the ingenuity of fellow players, like Minoiboisoy and FemmePrincessMel, who managed to skip half of the Oromuwak Shrine puzzle by launching themselves in the air with a rocket cart is nothing short of awe-inspiring.


As a dedicated fan, I recently stumbled upon an unorthodox yet successful approach to completing the A Launching Device puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This player took a wild and chaotic route, utilizing a rocket cart, demonstrating once again the boundless freedom that this game grants its players.

In the realm of Tears of the Kingdom, I stumbled upon a hidden gem – the Hebra shrine set’s Launching Device, nestled within the Oromuwak Shrine. This enigma is cleverly concealed at coordinates -3080, 1618, 0243, which positions it to the east of Lake Totori. To find this treasure, all you need to do is follow the road from the Lucky Clover Gazette stable southeastward while keeping a keen eye on the cliffs to your right. The shrine is encircled by thorny barriers that players must either burn or navigate over to access.

Tears of the Kingdom Player Solves Oromuwak Shrine Puzzle With a Rocket Cart

In the design of the Oromuwak Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom, players are typically meant to soar through the air twice during their journey to the end. However, a Reddit user named Minoiboisoy has recently accomplished the puzzle using just one long leap, unintentionally. They aimed to propel themselves from the first ramp onto the middle platform by affixing a Zonai Rocket to a nearby mining cart. But due to attaching the rocket on the right-hand side of the cart, they inadvertently launched the entire setup into the air and far off the intended track.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, I never thought it would go this far! I just managed to angle the rocket slightly to the left, and boom! The cart shot all the way to the end of the level, avoiding the lower midsection altogether in the upper-right corner of the room. It was a crazy maneuver that seemed impossible, but there you have it! Later on, I found out that my strange success made it onto the r/Zelda subreddit, where it became a hit among other Tears of the Kingdom players. One fan even commented, “Mission accomplished successfully,” on this engineering marvel.

Minoiboisoy was not the first player to unintentionally bypass nearly half of the Oromuwak Shrine. Reddit user FemmePrincessMel discovered this same workaround using rocket propulsion as early as mid-May 2023, just a few days after the game’s launch.

This unconventional method for finishing a Launching Device showcases the crucial element that makes the puzzles in Tears of the Kingdom so rewarding: flexibility. Although every shrine offers at least one straight-forward solution, many can also be completed by thinking creatively or simply by exploring the game’s mechanics through experimentation.
