I think it’s more that you fall out of the world. I’ve had pirates and myself highjump into some waters and die instantly because of that.
It’s not, you probably just fell out of the world.
nah i hit the water i was only like 1500 meters away from magnus once i landed, and people have ventured 16k meters out into the sea
The thing is that you are falling so fast that you go through the floor, resulting in you falling into the void underneath the world.
You can do the same thing by high-jumping into coastal water in some areas.
on impact i died
The void is pretty close to the seafloor from my experience. And you were going a lot faster than a fall from high jumping, so it actually probably was instant.
fall damage is in the game if i recall correctly vetex confirmed it
Out of curiosity, do you know where he confirmed it? I just tried jumping from the flag of Silent Tower to the ground and I didn’t take any damage.
its only when you get flung in the air really high from glitching out
No, most cliff-faces next to the ocean don’t have a seafloor for some reason, which means you will fall into the void and instantly die if you fall into the water with any amount of speed.
Be careful around them!
Fall dmg will most likely eventually be a thing, but for now that fall damage is actually just falling through the world lol
Pls no
pretty sure vet said fall damage would be buggy/laggy and just generally dumb doubt its gonna be added
But Vetex is a BotW player and is really likely to add fall dmg because of that, and he would have wanted it to be kinda realistic as in , you know falling and stuff
Well the Creater happens to be a fan of a game based on falling damage. 
what the fuck does that have to do with fall damage
Brush BotW is a game almost based on fall damage and stamina. If you are a goodBotW player, then you should know that fall damage is the most critical thing in the game. After all, stamina is really important.
You must have slapped against the sea and died
yup
