Ah, that's what you're getting at? There was never any information on what Bo did, just that the Gorons respect him. He pushed one out of the ring when it couldn't move him, presumably, but that's just a guess, too.
I've explained it to you before.
Starts at 2:40.
Each of those small statues is roughly half Link's weight. Five of them is equal to the big statue. Thus, the small statues and the big statue together are roughly five times Link's weight. It's not shown there, because it's a walkthrough, but when Link is wearing the boots, he weighs more than all of them together. Thus, the boots are over five times Link's weight.
We calculated that an amount of iron that is the size of the iron boots would be around 200 pounds, right? Well, assuming Link weighs even 140 pounds (despite his chainmail, sword, and shield), that would put the boots over 600 pounds. There aren't enough statues to equal Link's weight with the boots, so nothing in the series has yet outweighed them.
There, definitive proof that the Heavy Boots are heavier than iron.
It is an inconsistency. Dangoro is an outlier, he's the only one to do this, and all other Gorons in the game show significantly higher magma resistence.
I read all your posts, hence how I picked out a piece and replied to it earlier even thought its directed at Quanchi, walls dont always have to be tall you know...
He is the highest authority, that does not make every statement a canon and official representation of the game.
If the boots were 70 tonnes like Screampaste belives, Bo would not be able to move in those boots. Thats what I am getting at, also pushing a Goron out of the ring also shows that humans>Gorons when given an anchor of a few extra hundred pounds.
Those statues are almost half his size, are hollow and dont look heavy at all. How are you getting the figuires behind their weight because tbh this puzzle does not look like a good representation of canon weight. This will become an argument of pointless semantics, because even if I agreed to them being about 600-800 pounds (I dont), at most a ton then its still not impressive in the scheme of things in this thread.
