Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players are building terrifying war machines

Link is now apparently a warmonger. Players have used his newfound Zonai powers and technology to terrorize poor Koroks, clear entire forests to build bridges, and now create terrifying war machines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Link has a new ability called Ultrahand. This allows him to pick up and arrange objects and glue them together to create a larger structure. It is a major change introduced in Tears of the Kingdom, and it introduces various sandbox mechanics as players build machines to help them navigate Hyrule’s rugged environment. Now players use those new powers and technology to build horrific war machines to wipe out their enemies.

This video features a nice supercut of what’s possible. It starts with simpler creations and ends with a full-fledged flying bomber.

Scroll on for several incredible examples of what players have already built.

It’s all a bit worrying, to be honest. The game just now came out! But I must admit I am impressed with the craftsmanship on display here. If I were Ganondorf right now, I’d definitely think twice about challenging Link and Zelda this time around.
