are you a fan of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Then you'll love to see what some players are doing with the new skill. ultra hand, which lets you create amazing objects and weapons with Link's hand. In this post, we're going to show you some of the most impressive and fun creations we've found on the internet, to get inspired by your own creations.
Watch the video on the Showmetech Channel:
Get ready, then, to be amazed by the creativity and insanity of Zelda fans, since even though the game has only been on the market for a few days, having been released for Nintendo Switch on the last May 12th, the internet is already full of constructions. Giant robots, planes and catapults, which take the idea of giving freedom or creativity to another level.
Before continuing, it is important to note that the post may contain some spoilers related to the location of enemies on the map or some clothes that Link can have access to throughout the story. So if you're the player who doesn't want to discover any of this information, we recommend proceeding with caution!
Giant robots serve as inspiration
One of the sources that players turn to most for their constructions in the game are mecha anime or, as they are also known, giant robots. The fact is that these constructs are popular and since the Nintendo hinted that it would be possible to create them in one of their trailers, it didn't take long for all the creativity and engineering of the fans to be used for this!
Macross
So, to open our list, we have a functional and anime-inspired plane. Macross, a mecha and science fiction franchise that has a legacy of fans since its creation, back in 1982. In the work, humanity is usually involved in intergalactic conflicts and battles are fought using transformable planes.
Despite not facing problems of these proportions in Hyrule, Link can still take advantage of this plane to travel around the map and also surprise the monsters that prowl the kingdom with an air attack! The creator of this construction even made a robotic version of his ship to give the impression that it would also be able to transform, making the result even more impressive.
Gundam
When talking about giant robot anime, Gundam, beside Evangelion, is one of the biggest references in the Asian market. So, inspired by this work, the user soul banana, also responsible for building Macross' plane, produced two prototypes based on these mechas.
The first work even went viral on TikTok and the player's editing of the video makes everything more interesting, as the music and cuts added in the work make Link look not just as an ordinary swordsman, but as the legendary mecha pilot who will save humanity from an impending attack.
Fortunately, Soul Banana even produced a second version of their popular Gundam, one of the first videos to go viral of the construction of Tears of the Kingdom, in which it is possible to perceive that, in a short time, his work underwent several improvements. Now, it's prettier and more deadly to enemies who dare to cross Link's path.
Pacific Rim
Despite being an American feature film, Pacific Rim it is inspired by several other films and Asian productions of the mecha genre, in addition to the robots present in the work of Guillerme Del Toro also have some incredible visuals. So, based on these details, one of the players from The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom came up with this stunning result!
In the video posted on YouTube, he even showed the process of building the robot, through a function that exists in the game known as “Autobuild”, which automates and facilitates these processes. So, through Link's ability, it's possible that other players will be aware of how he did it and be able to reproduce this machine on their own consoles.
So now that we know how to build it, why not surprise some bokobolins or other enemies that permeate Hyrule with a surprise attack?
Longtime players from The Legends of Zelda, especially those who came from Breath of the Wild, you know how the Lynels, centaur-shaped enemies with the body of a lion, can be difficult monsters to take down. However, this was not a big problem for the creator of the model. Pacific Kidney, as another video he created shows some of the power of defeating one of these creatures with ease.
In the midst of so many incredible creations, robots based on Neon Genesis Evangelion have not yet been created. So, so far, it's impossible to order Link to enter the robot at once to the sound of Angel Cruel Thesis, but it is a matter of time before the models EVA01 ou 02 appear on the internet.
Other Tears of The Kingdom buildings
Fortunately, the creativity of the players of Tears of the Kingdom it's not just about producing giant robots to blast enemies across Hyrule's domains. Freedom in this game created by Nintendo it's so much that other creative constructions have surfaced on the internet, while others, as you'll see below, are sure to make the developer reconsider whether releasing the Ultrahand ability was a good idea.
Trojan Horse
Sometimes you don't need powerful machines or a huge army to win a war, but a good idea and execute it in the best possible way. History students, for example, should be familiar with the legend of the Trojan Horse, a wooden horse built by the Greeks as a gift to the Trojans, but what they didn't expect was that the construction would be full of soldiers, for a surprise attack.
Soon, one of the greatest and most creative tactical maneuvers in history, received a version in Tears of the Kingdom, since when he sees Hyrule dominated by the evil forces of Ganondorf, Link needs to save the world again. So why not make it simple and “gift” him a little backyard surprise?
Space ship
One of the great space achievements was the creation of a rocket that worked in several stages, thus, it would be possible to have greater fuel efficiency and also improve the payload that these vehicles would carry in relation to the original weight. So in Tears of the Kingdom, one of the great races of the community was the construction of a spaceship that works in this way; this feat was achieved by Bishlo, a user of Reddit.
As the rocket takes to the skies, it passes through four separate stages from its launch phase that increase its efficiency. The feat was achieved with a bit of engineering and creativity, by mixing zonal appliances with wooden trunks.
Now, the question remains: in Tears of the Kingdom, we had a game that explores Hyrule in its three levels, skies, surface and underground, so, will it be that in the distant future, the Nintendo should release a game that explores Hyrule's space?
Korok Space Program
Even if the Nintendo not interested in making a franchise game The Legend Of Zelda set in space, fans of Tears of the Kingdom are interested in creating a program to explore what lies beyond the islands in the sky that appeared in the game.
However, as we saw above, a plane manned by Link, even with the technology of stages, is not capable of taking the main character to a very good altitude. So, it's up to the little Koroks to go on this adventure, even if it's against their will.
Link Brown Jr?
There's nothing overly ingenious here or anything that requires a lot of attention from the player, but Shieldsurfing remains one of Link's most user-loved abilities. After all, it's not often that a game allows its main character to forget the main mission objectives to surf with his shield through different environments, is it?
However, in Tears of the Kingdom, it is now possible to merge this equipment with some carts that the player finds around the map and create a really functional skateboard. This is not one of the most impressive works on our list, but it is certainly among the most angry, since you can even send some maneuvers around the map, while listening to some of your favorite songs from the Charlie Brown Jr.
Laser Cannon Satellite
Why bother engaging your enemies in direct combat or building a giant robot that needs to be controlled, when you can simply create a lightning machine to blast you? That was the idea that the user StickydrawzG had to design your Orbital Strike Satellite Laser Cannon.
The machine's name already speaks for itself, but its operation has a very simple conception: several zonal lasers are coupled to others and, when activated, fly over the enemies' heads and shoot several beams at them. The damage is not very high, but the fact that Link is able to observe everything from a safe distance and without running the risk of taking damage that would take away many hearts already makes the result good.
Helicopter
Imagine you are a bokobolin who wants to lead a quiet life in his camp and since that strange demonic figure revived you in a blood moon, things are going well. Humans usually avoid getting close, as they fear their presence, but one day, everything changes.
You hear the sound of propellers and before you have time to flee to safety, a small blond boy riding a machine you never thought possible appears on the horizon, bombing your house. Thanks to this helicopter made by the hands of a user of the YouTube, you can participate in this story in the role of Link and attack your enemies while flying over their heads, accompanied by chaos and destruction. The best of everything? Without taking damage.
Hyrule Truck Simulator
The world is about to be consumed by evil forces and the chances of victory are relatively low, so why sacrifice yourself in such a battle? It's much better to take advantage of your last days of life to travel by truck through the different, but still impressive, scenery of Hyrule. Fortunately, this is possible thanks to this tutorial by user MyShortGuides on YouTube, where he teaches how to build this vehicle in a functional way.
So for those who don't want to bother with the main quest of Tears of the Kingdom and make the best of the scenario of this game Nintendo has to offer, this is a good option. Leave your hero's life behind and follow Link's true dream: to deliver across Hyrule and challenge yourself through the most dangerous terrains of this desolate realm.
war technology
Here, we have a compilation of creations made by the community and that caught the attention of other players from Tears of the Kingdom on social networks and show that the freedom of this incredible game of Nintendo it is really unlimited.
From simpler works, such as a ram that Link uses to advance against his enemies and attack them with the weapon attached to the front of the vehicle, while staying safe inside, to more complex constructions. Laser cannons and even a bomber plane to bring terror to enemy lines. So which one is your favorite?
Hover Bike
Now, are you looking for a vehicle to build in your game that is easy, functional and very useful throughout your journey? Then your problems are over, as in the TikTok, Berserkerkaji introduced to the world his Hover Bike model, nicknamed MKII.
Its concept is simple, just attach two fans to the handlebars available in the game and Link will be able to fly over all terrains in the game with relative ease, at least while the batteries last. The vehicle is so functional that the player can still "improve" the work with other items, such as the plants that light up the scenery, to make a lighthouse that offers natural lighting.
Rowing boat
For those who have had contact with Tears of the Kingdom or even Breath of the Wild, you know that building a boat in the game is quite a simple task. Just put a sail on some pieces of wood and then throw the raft in the water, so that the wind will guide you to your goal.
In the new game Nintendo Switch, another obvious choice would be to just hook up one of the many fans that are scattered around the map and have it create the wind current that would take Link to travel through the uncharted waters of Hyrule. This process, although simple, is usually a little bad for longer trips, due to the battery drained on the trip.
So it didn't take long for solutions to be produced for this little problem and the idea that caught the most attention was No-Frogs: no Reddit, he showed a simple but very functional model of a small boat propelled by paddlewheel propulsion. According to the author, he is able to navigate for much longer, thanks to the vehicle's low battery consumption, since he uses more economical zonal devices!
One construction, many uses
This other player decided to use the freedom given by the game to experiment with his engineering knowledge and produced a multitasking machine in the Nintendo Switch game. Through wheels, wood and a lot of creativity, he found an easy way to hit his enemies, without Link actually being present in combat.
If that wasn't enough, the building also serves as an interesting way to roast the fish caught by the player on the map. Ok, it would be much easier to throw them straight into the fire or mix them with other ingredients to make the recipe even better, but it wouldn't be as cool and funny as shown in the video.
Fishing Engineering
More experienced Zelda players know the difficulty of fishing when you are inexperienced in the Zelda games. Nintendo Switch. A more direct approach, such as jumping into rivers or lakes, may not be a good idea, as they tend to run away quite easily. So, some choose to use electric arrows thrown against the waters, since the damage kills the animals and makes them float.
However, this player found a simple and easy way to get a surplus of fish without much effort, just with wooden planks and some zonal devices. The complete result can be seen in the video above and, moreover, we can be sure that if Link wanted to, he could break Hyrule's economy with his strategy.
Koroks are experimented on by players.
A little above, we showed that players are using the Koroks, the small seeds hidden around the map, as a way to test their rockets, but this is part of one of the best memes of Tears of The Kingdom, increasingly absurd and funny.
When The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was launched last May 15th, a detail not yet officially confirmed by Nintendo it was revealed: Hetsu and his koroks were back in the game. For those who haven't played Breath of the Wild, it was through them that Link was able to expand his inventory and these little creatures were scattered across the map in large numbers.
So, to bring them all together, it was a real long and complicated task, in the end, the player was only rewarded with a “gift” of a very suggestive icon. anyway, in Tears of the Kingdom, koroks equipped with a pouch were added to the game and these can be manipulated by Link's Ultrahand skill, so players' minds decided that it would be a good idea to experiment with them.
Korok on the skewer?
One of the first proofs that show how koroks suffer at the hands of players is in this creation by pory_leeks on Twitter, who gathered a bunch of these little creatures and before carrying out the mission of each one, he thought it was a good idea to roast them on a spit.
Could it be that after the events of Tears of the Kingdom and the world is saved, will Link abandon his career as a swordsman to pursue a culinary chef and serve this spice to the four corners of Hyrule?
The Crucifixion of Koroks
It wasn't enough to take advantage of this mechanic to roast the Koroks, other players also took the opportunity to trap them in a cross to transport them around the map. On the internet, it is possible to find several variations of this creation, one more creative – or sicker – than the other, but the fact is that, in addition to exploring Hyrule, players also have fun while trying to take advantage of this meme, before Nintendo decides to release one. patch to prevent this.
More rockets from Korok
The most interesting of rockets from The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is that they can be launched in all directions, so in addition to sending the Koroks to the skies, some players decided to speed up the missions involving these creatures and throw them at high speed towards the objective.
We just hope that none of them has been injured during all the tests carried out and shown in this text!
And with that, comes to an end our list of the best (and also worst) player builds in The Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is worth remembering that if you are interested in acquiring the game's physical media, you can find it at Amazon for $ 399,99.
