apparently, there's a glitch in breath of the wild where
okay so when you throw a large rock, it temporarily has a state applied to it that makes bokoblins run away from it, because of course you'd run away from a rock the size of your head flying at you
if you throw the rock and pick it up quickly enough, that scare-bokoblins state can get stuck on the rock, so that as you carry it around bokoblins will run away from you in terror
