Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Bizarre Seahorse Machine

Key Takeaways

  • One Tears of the Kingdom player created a majestic flying seahorse machine.
  • Their curious contraption serves as another testament to the immense freedom offered by TOTK’s building system.

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the mesmerizing world of Hyrule since the early days of the original NES release, I must say that the latest creation from the Tears of the Kingdom community has left me utterly awestruck! The majestic flying seahorse machine, a marvel of engineering and creativity, is yet another testament to the boundless potential of Nintendo’s masterful open-world adventure.

One inventive The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has recently designed an unusual machine shaped like a giant seahorse. The footage of their bizarre-but-formidable bony fish recreation later made the rounds on social media, adding to the still-growing list of astonishing Tears of the Kingdom community creations.

As a dedicated Zelda fan, I’ve been thoroughly captivated by the innovative Ultrahand mechanics in the latest Zelda game. Though it’s not mandatory to use these tools extensively beyond tackling some relatively straightforward puzzles, the intricate building system has opened up a world of creative possibilities for me and countless other players. Since the release of Tears of the Kingdom in May 2023, we’ve been eagerly experimenting with various applications of Ultrahand, discovering new joys in this captivating game every day.

Tears of the Kingdom Player Creates Majestic Flying Seahorse

A new example of this ongoing trend has emerged in the shape of an impressive seahorse-shaped vehicle called “Tears of the Kingdom”. This creation, designed by Reddit user Osh-Kosh-Ganache, includes two balloons, three Colgera Jaws, and thoughtfully positioned Zonai Fans, among other components. Despite its predominantly seahorse-like appearance, this device is intended for flight. Indeed, it can fly as demonstrated in a short video clip that Osh-Kosh-Ganache released in September 2024.

Apart from its seahorse-like appearance being noteworthy, there are many clever engineering solutions in this design that make it function flawlessly. For instance, Osh-Kosh-Ganache utilized two balloons to create a vehicle capable of both flight and controlled descent. This is achieved by the pilot momentarily relinquishing control of the Zonai Steering Stick, which triggers the extinguishing of the flame beneath the lower hot balloon. As a result, the machine begins its descent gradually, and this method is also used to safely navigate it during ground hovering.

The seahorse-like device, equipped with only a few fans and lights for underwater exploration in The Depths, is quite energy-efficient. This means it can be beneficial even for players who prefer not to invest heavily in upgrading Energy Cells within the game Tears of the Kingdom. Additionally, it appears to consist of fewer than 21 components, potentially allowing space for additional weapons if balanced carefully to maintain its flight stability.

If you’re captivated by the building mechanics in “Tears of the Kingdom,” you might find yourself drawn to “Echoes of Wisdom,” the upcoming “Zelda” game set to release on September 26th. Although it doesn’t replicate the gameplay of “TOTK,” “Echoes of Wisdom” puts a strong focus on summoning and combining duplicates of objects, which offer a great deal of creative freedom when navigating, solving puzzles, and engaging in combat. Essentially, these Echoes function similarly to Ultrahand in the 2023 “Zelda” game, making them potentially appealing to the same group of players.
