Exclusive: Uncover Zelda's Hidden World with an Epic All-Terrain Train Build

One skilled player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom recently showcased their impressive creation on social media. They have constructed an all-terrain train while completing a major side quest in the game. This remarkable engineering accomplishment gained attention online, following another player's success in building a functional combustion engine within Tears of the Kingdom.

While Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand ability allows players to assemble weapons and fixed structures, numerous fans have chosen to focus their building efforts on vehicles. This preference is largely due to the consistent challenge of traversal faced by players in Tears of the Kingdom. Since the game's release on May 12, many fans have been occupied with engineering creations that facilitate easier navigation throughout the kingdom of Hyrule.

A recent example of such an innovation was created by Reddit user Pnspi2. They constructed an all-terrain train to transport characters in the Hebra region, an essential requirement for unlocking all Great Fairies in Tears of the Kingdom. The design of the train consisted of a mostly pre-built carriage, while the three-wagon layout was built from scratch using various Zonai devices. Despite incorporating a beam emitter, the train's weaponry proved insufficient to thwart a persistent Bokoblin determined to halt the journey. This unfortunate incident was captured on video, which quickly gained viral attention on Reddit. The video was presented by the author as a playful tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, a beloved Nintendo DS game from 2009 where players assume the role of Link, a royal train engineer. In keeping with the spirit of the game, the video is accompanied by the iconic composition "Facing the Demon Train" from Spirit Tracks.

The building mechanics in Tears of the Kingdom's new Zelda game unlock a whole new dimension of Breath of the Wild's open-world design philosophy, making it highly praised by both players and critics. This aspect of the game sets it apart from its predecessor and is expected to keep it relevant for a long time.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
