A Citizen Blows Up Their Own Home (YTP Saga)
In Kakariko Village, there is a regular citizen who sits amidst the ashes of his house, playing a VR game with a headset on. He is completely oblivious to the fact that his house is gone. Here, it is implied that he destroyed his own house playing an SAO-type VR game. This should scale to BoG Link and co., as they are obviously far superior to any normal villager.

For this I will calc the volume of the building next door, which should have around the same dimensions, and apply destruction values to it. I will assume violent fragmentation as a low end, and pulverization as a high end.



Here is the next door house, Ansrew's house (Ansrew himself is not present because he's out summoning an evil alien, which you fight on a separate sidequest).



Ansrew's house is 2 tiles tall, 11 tiles long, and 19 tiles wide.

I will scale Link to the tiles. He is 180 cm, according to his bio.



180 * 2 = 360

180 * 11 = 1980

180 * 19 = 3420

380 * 1980 * 3420 = 2,573,208,000 cubic cm. Applying 90% hollowness gets me 257,320,800 cm^3.

For Frag:

257,320,800 * 8 = 2,058,566,400 joules, or 0.492 Tons of TNT - Building level

For V.Frag:

257,320,800 * 69 = 17,755,135,200 joules, or 4.24 Tons of TNT - Large Building level

For Pulverization:

257,320,800 * 314.5 = 80,927,391,600 joules, or 19.34 Tons of TNT - City Block level

Got all of the rankings in Tier 8. Nice.

Personally I prefer the V.Frag end, as we see discernible debris, but not in large quantities.

Nega Druid Destroying the Druid World (YTP Saga)
It is stated by the Druid Elder in the Druid World that the Nega Druid, a boss that the player's party must fight, is capable of destroying the entire Druid World.



The Druid World is a separate dimension, where all of the Druids live. For this calc I will scale different areas to the whole overworld map's size to get different ends, and then I will use the airburst radius method to calc the destruction of the entire observable land as a lowball.

The Druid Monument, one of the locations in the Druid World, takes up one tile on the overworld map. I wil calc the size of the Monument's own separate map and scale that to the entire map's size.

The Druid Monument is 39 tiles high. Link is 180 cm tall and he's about exactly as tall as one tile.

180 * 39 = 7,020 cm, or 70.2 m.

The Druid World overworld map is 29 tiles high.

29 * 70.2 m = 2.0358 km



Notice how the land just sort of cuts off at the bottom of the map? It goes off screen. Meanwhile it curves to an end before it reaches the top. This suggests to me that the land shown on the map isn't the entirety of the land in the Druid World, and going by that, I will assume 2.035 km is the radius, and not the diameter.

Yield = ((x/0.28)^3)/1000

x = radius

((2.0358/0.28)^3)/1000 = 0.38435385034

Because it isn't a nuclear explosion, I will have to divide that by two, getting me 0.192176925 Megatons of TNT, or 192 Kilotons of TNT - Large Town level

For a higher end, I will use the Mountains in the overworld to scale.

The minimum height for something to be considered a mountain is 1000 m. So I will use that. Each mountain is about 1/2 the height of a single tile.

1000 * 58 = 58 km

((58/0.28)^3)/1000 = 8,888

8,888 * 0.5 = 4,444 Megatons of TNT, or 4.4 Gigatons of TNT, barely Island level.

For a lower end, I will use the Portal Hut.



The base of building is 17 by 19 tiles.

17 * 180 = 3060 cm or 30.6 m.

30.6 * 29 = 887.4 km

((.8874/0.28)^3)/1000 = 0.03183348449

0.03183348449 * 0.5 = 0.01591674224 Megatons of TNT, or 15.9 Kilotons of TNT - Town level

Results

 * Low End - 15.9 Kilotons of TNT - Town level
 * Mid End - 192 Kilotons of TNT - Large Town level
 * High End - 4.4 Gigatons of TNT - Island level

Oz Blows off Part of the Moon (YTP Saga)


When Link travels into the past to fight Oz in a weaker state and "defeats" him, Oz flies up to the moon and blows part of it off.

Yes, that is the actual picture that is used. This game has absolutely no budget and I love it.

Anyways, it is later implied in the game that the part that was blown off was indeed fragmented. But each fragment is large enough to be a habitable place, so we cannot apply traditional fragmentation to it.



Not only that, but in the cutscene, we don't get a proper timeframe, as everything that happens is determined by how fast the player can press the spacebar to skip through the dialog. We don't see any discernible fragments, either.

So we can't apply KE and we can't apply fragmentation. For this I will instead assume that, for this calc, that Oz simply cut off part of the moon on impact. I will calc the volume of the crevice he would've had to leave to do so and apply fragmentation to it.



The moon is 593.26 px and the red line is 282 px.

The diameter of the moon is 3.4746e+8 cm.

3.4746e+8 / 593.26 = 585,679.128881 cm per pixel.

282 * 585679.128881 = 165,161,514.344 cm for the diameter of the red line, 82,580,757.172 cm for the radius.

The average human shoulder span is 18.25 inches, or 46.355 cm.

Volume of a cylinder: pi * radius^2 * height

I'll assume that Oz's shoulder width is the height, and the radius of the moon chunk is the radius.

pi * 82,580,757.172^2 * 46.355 = 9.9312561e+17 cm^3

9.9312561e+17 * 8 = 7.9450049e+18 joules, or 1.89 Gigatons of TNT - Large Mountain level

Just for the sake of a higher end, let us assume violent fragmentation.

9.9312561e+17 * 69 = 6.8525667e+19 joules, or 16.37 Gigatons of TNT - Island level

Gay Luigi's Meatball Obliterator (YTP Saga)


Gay Luigi's strongest weapon, the Meatball Obliterator, is stated to be capable of crushing subatomic particles into nothing. This is a very blatant feat that I can use subatomic destruction for.

Lets be ultra-conservative and assume that Luigi smashes a cinder block with it.

Cinder blocks are 30-35 lbs. Using 30 lbs, that's 13.6078 kg, or 13,607.8 grams.

Concrete has a density of 2.4 g/cm^3.

13,607.8 * 2.4 = 32,658.72 cm^3

The value for Subatomic Destruction is 5.403e+13 joules per cubic centimeter.

5.403e+13 * 32,658.72 = 1.7645506e+18 joules, or 421.7 Megatons of TNT - Mountain level.
