Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Impressive Steamboat in the Game

Highlights

  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom community showcase innovative Zonai technology builds, like a steamboat.
  • Players can construct dream builds using natural resources, Zonai batteries, and the Ultrahand mechanic.

As a seasoned Zelda enthusiast who has traversed countless Hyrulean landscapes since the days of my NES, I must say that the latest addition to the franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has truly taken my breath away. The creativity and ingenuity displayed by players in constructing Zonai technology builds, such as the recent steamboat, is a testament to the game’s captivating mechanics and limitless potential.


For more than a year, “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” has been open to the public, and players continue to astonish with their innovative uses of Zonai technology. One player, even an in-game engineer, has constructed a steamboat to navigate Hyrule’s waters. From mechanical creatures to various land, air, and sea vehicles, the “Tears of the Kingdom” community remains captivated by players’ incredible creations.

Enthusiasts can experience the thrill of adventure vicariously through Link, the protagonist of Hyrule, as they collect various resources to build their ideal creations. These inventions are made possible using the kingdom’s natural and man-made resources, including the batteries from Zonai, along with the Ultrahand feature in Tears of the Kingdom. This mechanic allows players to recall, fuse, and elevate objects while crafting for a more efficient building process.

In Reddit, user kmarkow shared a video showcasing their creation – a three-tiered steamship named “Somewhat Confident Mary.” This boat was constructed with smokestacks, numerous Zonai batteries, a rear propeller, and Brightbloom Seeds from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which illuminate the ship during nighttime voyages. A brief glimpse also reveals the boatman maneuvering the vessel. However, it’s clear that this voyage is meant for short trips due to the high battery consumption during travel.

Tears of the Kingdom Community Loves Link’s Steamboat

A Reddit user, known as “#2 Engineer of the Month,” received this title in March within the Hyrule Engineering subreddit. This individual is currently recognized for constructing the widely-acclaimed “Tears of the Kingdom” duck boat. Originating from Canada, kmarkow drew inspiration for this build from the ships of their home city’s river. It was mentioned that this boat was produced in response to a monthly contest organized by the game’s engineering community.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but join the chorus of praise for the stunning watercraft on display in the subreddit. The Brightbloom Seed illumination and Frost Emitters truly outdid themselves, creating an impressive steam-like effect that left me awestruck. And let’s not forget about the nostalgic nod to Steamboat Willie! With Mickey Mouse’s intellectual property now in the public domain, it’s no wonder we’re seeing a surge of third-party games inspired by the classic cartoon character. Some even went as far as comparing Link, from the beloved Zelda series, to the whistling sailor himself. What a delightful blend of old and new!

1. People thought it would be costly for participants to join the steamboat cruise, but jokingly, it was said that tickets were only 100 rupees. Moreover, if Koroks from Hyrule could sail on this boat, other engineers might get inspired to design their future ships with a similar appeal.
