Reddit user AKArein lured a Defender to a river and in some way sent it tumbling head first into the, well, non exactly bottomless, but reasonably deep water. To be in-bounds, the Guardian did much of the work by hard to climb a steep cliffside disdain non having thumbs – rather, presumably not having thumbs. The Guardian drowns shortly after taking a dip in the river, so they've apparently got lungs of some kindly, so who's to say they don't have thumbs besides?

Of course, there is another reasonable theory: the mechanical Guardian shorted out after being submerged. They can endure the rain just fine, sure, but so can smartphones and you still wouldn't chuck yours in a river. That said, the drowning possibility is way much play because information technology allows for sports fan art of a Guardian effortful floaties connected all its legs.

The best part is that AKArein wasn't actually planning on drowning the thing. After sightedness the Guardian in the water, they aforesaid in a Reddit point out that they were planning to "make up the physics system give way in some way" victimisation Connection's stasis and cryo technical school. That's the Breathing space of the Desert community in a nutshell: years later, they'atomic number 75 notwithstandin breaking things in unprecedented ways while trying to break things in other ways.

Case in point: one Breath of the Wild speedrunner has conquered the spunky in just 25 minutes. Straightaway that's a agenda that Zelda, who had to watch Maine thrust boomerangs and incinerate mushrooms for 80 hours, can get behind.
