Tears of the Kingdom coach recreates the Olympic decathlon in Hyrule to force Link to compete and find out if Zelda's hero could take home the gold

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Link's list of accolades includes saving Hyrule countless times over, defeating evil incarnate, and even getting involved in local elections around Hateno village. Now, YouTuber Windowledge has challenged The Legend of Zelda's fabled hero Link to the ultimate test of fitness: could Link win an Olympic gold medal in the decathlon? 

With the Summer 2024 Olympics behind us, the world is now looking to Link to see if he could beat the gold medal times across the 10 events of a decathlon recreated inside of Tears of the Kingdom. Coordinates found at the bottom of the minimap were used to roughly estimate the distance for events like the 100 meter dash. Windowledge would then use these indicators to reference Link's times against those of Olympic gold medalists to determine if our fated Hyrule hero was up to the task.
