It's one hundred percent Canon, you need to do it to beat the game. There were no boots involved, Link simply cracked his knuckles and throw the stone over his shoulder. Seph has no chance against Link, tbh, this is spite against Seph.. Here's why!Alright, the first thing you should know, is I do alot of down-rounding in these numbers specificly so that if I screw up, I err on the pesimistic side, thus these are not exagerated fanboy numbers, at all.
Alright, we'll begin with the granite rock. [Mathed as white granite, lighter than black.]
Let me be clear, this is me being VERY conservative and working with rounded numbers. [rounded DOWN to the nearest million in the case of mass in pounds.]
If the stone Link threw in the original feat moved approx 225 metres [nice down rounded estimate] horizontally [I'm not bothering to math the high arc, screw that. If I -did- I'd get an even larger number, so this is more down-rounding.]
and 2 million pounds is 907184.739 kilos, and it was in the air approx 3 seconds, [thus moving at an easily mathed 75 m/s]
K=1/2mv^2
M= 907184.73999
V= 75this means K [kinetic energy] = 2551457081.25 joule.
^Link is capable of generating an extremely high level of joulage with his muscles, and that is not his peak possible throw, but as his best feat, we round it down to be on the safe side.
Now that we know how much energy he can produce, roughly, we can apply that energy to a simple equasion for throwing somethign of the same density as the granite.
Now, just for purposes of being conservative, rather than put in the realisitc weight of something like his sheild, we'll put in.. 100 lbs? K. Watch.
K = 2551457081.25 joules
m = 100 pounds = 45.359237 kilogramsThus:
velocity (v) = 10606.6017178 meter/second

The apple thing is my humourous spin on it. An apple would actually be totally destroyed from the G force, but a small rock, about the size of a baseball would fill in nicely.

You can't seriously think that the developers thought like that when they made him throw it away.

1. No, it is not, not even when it actually is a blue key and a little door. That is a required event of the game. A game mechanic is a constant gameplay rule, like taking turns, hit points, leveling up, etc. Your argument from repetition fallacy is not welcome here, constantly repeating the same tired argument over and over again does not make it right.2. Neither are gameplay mechanics. You are wrong. GTFO.
3. That has....Nothing to do with what Link did. The blocks were also in a dialogue sequence between Navi and Link(though Link never talks), she said he would need something to make him stronger. The Golden Gauntlets did that. Denying him the strength they give him is like denying him the Light Arrows or Master Sword.
It seems you dont know what a gameplay mechanic is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_mechanic
Puzzles are a mechanic of the gameplay
Nobody is denying him strength, simply the amount based on out of game math 🙄
