It's worth noting that while the Hover Stone solution isn't an especially new concept, it's one that's likely been overlooked by those who weren't playing Tears of the Kingdom at launch. Many early s quickly figured out that the Hover Stone could render most Hudson Signs complete but given the amount of people who've picked up the game in recent months, that detail was likely missed. Plenty of comments on tennyson24's post explain how they had no idea the Hover Stone would work on the Hudson Sign, proving that some of the community clearly overlooked the "hack."

Another fun secret is that shield surfing along rails is always much easier than trying to balance across them.
