Starfield Gamer Creates Epic 8-Bit Link Spaceship — You Won't Believe Your Eyes!

Highlights

Starfield players have been utilizing the ship-building system within the game to ingeniously craft various vessels inspired by different forms of media. One impressive creation is a meticulously designed spaceship that flawlessly captures the essence of Link from The Legend of Zelda, employing the iconic 8-bit art style.

This year's biggest titles, including Starfield, offer the opportunity to unleash one's creative potential. In Starfield, players have the ability to not only construct their ideal starships, but also personalize their characters and establish unique outposts. The creativity exhibited by the community in Starfield is truly remarkable, and with the game's continuous development, the introduction of mods and upcoming DLC will undoubtedly amplify the potential for innovative ship-building.

A Starfield player has incorporated The Legend of Zelda into Bethesda's sci-fi RPG by creating a spaceship that perfectly replicates the beloved Nintendo character Link in his original 8-bit form. In Starfield, players have the freedom to construct unique vessels, allowing for limitless possibilities. This particular player demonstrates the ship-building system's unexpected capability of producing retro pixel art. Since Starfield's release a month ago, players have been busy utilizing the ship-building feature to craft impressive, humorous, and memorable spacecraft. Naturally, fans have recreated iconic ships from other sci-fi franchises to traverse the Settled Systems. Additionally, some players have taken a more whimsical approach, constructing unconventional ships such as a recent Starfield vessel shaped like a hot dog.

On Reddit, Digital_Utopia took a unique approach by creating a ship that resembles Link's 8-bit appearance from the original Legend of Zelda game released in 1986 for the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System. Using an abundance of square ship parts arranged and colored to match the pixels that make up Link's original look, Digital_Utopia successfully achieved their goal. Initially aiming for something more ambitious with numerous colors, they had to adhere to Starfield's ship weight limits, but still received praise from other players for their final creation.

When it comes to game crossovers, a ship-based Starfield and Zelda crossover could argue as one of the most fitting choices. Prior to Starfield's release, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the go-to game in 2023 for designing customized vehicles. Despite facing competition from Starfield on this front, Tears of the Kingdom continues to see remarkable new creations from its dedicated playerbase.

Stretching one's creative muscles has been a prominent feature in many of this year's major titles, with Starfield being the latest example. Players not only have the freedom to design their ideal starship, but also customize their characters and outposts. Despite the game's recent release, there has already been an incredible number of unique creations shared by the community.

Given the abundance of creativity on display thus far, it will be fascinating to witness what the community can achieve as the game evolves and time progresses. Players have already begun utilizing mods to push the boundaries of Starfield's ship-building capabilities. Additionally, upcoming DLC such as the Shattered Space expansion is anticipated to officially introduce new ship parts and building tools for those eager to construct the ultimate battleship, cargo truck, or space-themed pixel art.

Starfield is available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
