Floating Platforms

Learn about Sky Octoroks, the enemies that power floating platforms in Breath of the Wild. Discover how they evolved and how other monsters use them for aerial fortresses.

Hey there! So, you've probably noticed some weird, floating platforms in the sky in Breath of the Wild, right? Let's talk about what's keeping them up: the Sky Octoroks. These guys are basically Octoroks that have evolved to float around in the air thanks to their inflatable air sacs. Think of them like water Octoroks, but they can hang out in the sky no matter the weather. Pretty neat, huh? Now, here's the cool (and sometimes annoying) part: other monsters have figured out how to use these Sky Octoroks. They'll tie them to platforms to create these floating fortresses. They're even trained to ascend when they hear a whistle, though they won't attack you directly. Just a heads-up, these Sky Octoroks don't drop any monster parts or items when you defeat them, so don't go out of your way to farm them for loot. They're more of an environmental hazard or part of a larger enemy setup. Keep an eye out for these airborne Octoroks, especially if you're tackling any of the DLC content like Master Mode in "The Master Trials." They're a unique twist on the classic Octorok enemy!
