A fan of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has recreated the floating Sky Islands in Minecraft. Since its launch on the Nintendo Switch two months ago, Tears of the Kingdom has quickly become one of the highest selling Zelda games of all time. While the spotlight mostly focuses on Link's new crafting abilities and the incredible creations they have inspired, the vast and diverse open world of Hyrule remains a major attraction.
This world encompasses the enigmatic Sky Islands, which made their debut in 2011's The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In Tears of the Kingdom, these islands are further developed with a detailed backstory. It is revealed that the Sky Islands emerged above Hyrule after Ganondorf's revival and subsequent clash with Link and Princess Zelda. Link heavily relies on Zonai technology from the Sky Islands throughout his journey, and players have ingeniously utilized custom aircraft and the new Ascend ability to reach these awe-inspiring structures.
Grazzy, a renowned YouTuber recognized for their remarkable Minecraft constructions, recently paid homage to the Sky Islands from Tears of the Kingdom by replicating them and displaying their creation across various subreddits such as tearsofthekingdom. This was done by sharing a series of screenshots showcasing an impressive and meticulously built version of the Sky Islands. The recreation includes ancient structures, vibrant green forests, and a vast lake. Notably, Grazzy even reconstructed the interiors of the Islands' structures, including the illustrious throne room inside Hyrule Castle.
The Sky Islands merely represent a fraction of Grazzy's Minecraft projects inspired by Zelda. They have recently recreated the entire game world of Breath of the Wild in Minecraft and also reconstructed Skyloft from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. In addition, other dedicated Minecraft players have impressively recreated landmarks such as Hyrule Castle from Breath of the Wild, and even paid tribute to the original Legend of Zelda game without the use of mods, which paved the way for the success of later blockbuster titles on the Switch.
Grazzy continues to amaze with their Zelda-inspired Minecraft ventures, including an exciting new tribute to the enchanting Sky Islands that play a significant role in Tears of the Kingdom's universe and lore. By merging the creative building and crafting gameplay mechanics of both Minecraft and Tears of the Kingdom, they have produced something truly remarkable.
Minecraft can be enjoyed on various platforms, including mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and numerous legacy platforms.
