There's a long list of things you might not know about Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and today, that list just got a little longer.
We're not sure why Gaming Reinvented pondered this particular issue, but it decided to see what would happen if a Hinox was introduced to a pool of boiling hot lava. To do this, the monster had to be coaxed from one of its potential spawn points to Death Mountain and then pushed into the red-hot magma, which is a time-consuming challenge in itself.
The end result? Well, nothing much. The Hinox is clearly made from stern stuff and doesn't even flinch. It does, however, cause a random noise that sounds like it's farting – however, the lack of bubbles would suggest this isn't intentional. Boo.
While this isn't exactly big news, it's amazing that Breath of the Wild continues to throw up unexpected surprises, even after almost five years.

This man's dialect might be even more amusing than the lava-proof hinox.
@DDFawfulGuy Sounds a bit like a New Zealand dialect, if you ask me
I’m fairly certain that BOTW’s lava is actually water with a “death layer” on the top that only affects Link. I believe this is also how the poison river in Mario Sunshine works.
The way the Hinox pauses and lets out an absolute ripper!

The guy is from London area, UK
What I want to know is how other monsters react to being in lava. If all other monsters die in lava then this is cool. If no other monsters die this is just a duh. I must know and can not be bothered to find out for myself.
@Kayvoo I stand corrected, then
OMG LOL!
...the way this guy talks makes the vIdeo.
wow.
Suddenly I have a craving for bacon.
Even Cyrodiil guards seem to be unfazed by lava, and this here is a Hinox.
I think it's more exciting that nothing happened than the Hinox catching fire. It's way more interesting to learn they are immune to such tempreatures.
@Pillowpants : Sounds proper hardcore Cockney to me.
Their skin couldn't be that thick considering that a Hinox can be killed with nothing but tree branches.
And keep in mind, Guardians can't withstand lava in this game.
What about Golden Enemies, specifically the Lynel?
@Munchlax
Guardians die instantly if you shove them into lava.
Give it a go! It's pretty fun!
Must have been craving bacon when he recorded this.
@DDFawfulGuy
I haven’t tried lava, but I have pushed them into a river, and that also instantly kills them.
Well it 'tis the season for roasting nuts ...
What about a Lynel?
What the hell is with this guy's accent?
