Prologue: The Great Plateau Walkthrough
You can slow down time to shoot an arrow while paragliding. Just pull out your bow midair then start shooting enemies until you run out of stamina. This is an effective way to pick off multiple enemies.
Need a lift? You can create an updraft to ascend further through the air. Simply set lush grass (or Spicy Peppers) on fire and this will create gusts of wind that can push Link upward with his Paraglider.
If you spot an enemy camp while paragliding, you can drop and detonate Remote Bombs over them. You can cause extra destruction if the camp has bomb barrels lying around.
Paragliding from high places can take time before you reach the ground. If you're running low on stamina and you're still high up in the air, you can close the Paraglider and open it again just before you hit the ground.
But in case you haven't been paying attention and suddenly ran out of stamina midair, you can quickly fast travel using your Sheikah Slate to save you from falling to your death.
