A clever player of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has devised a brilliant way to prank a Yiga Clan member. This player's prank is so clever that it may be considered one of the most impressive moments in the history of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The Yiga Clan first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as a group of soldiers who patrol Hyrule under the leadership of a deranged individual named Master Kohga. The Yiga Clan has a peculiar obsession with bananas, enjoys stealing anything within their reach, and often disguises themselves as unsuspecting travelers, ambushing their victims at the perfect moment. In Tears of the Kingdom, the Yiga Clan has returned and they are determined to outsmart Link at every opportunity.
Reddit user Huydeptrai0794 shared a brief video demonstrating a clever tactic to outsmart the Red-clad deceivers in the game Tears of the Kingdom. In the clip, our protagonist, Link, sprints past an inquisitive traveler and then swiftly employs a deadly Zonai contraption by shooting an arrow. Engaging in a conversation with the unsuspecting stranger, who inquires about the Yiga Clan, Link barely has a chance to respond before the traveler unveils his true allegiance and threatens retribution for Master Kohga. In a dramatic turn, the traveler, revealed to be a member of the Yiga Clan, leaps backward, primed to attack. However, within moments of his retreat, an explosive device activated by the contraption falls upon him, igniting a fierce inferno that swiftly claims his life.
To easily identify a disguised Yiga Clan member in Tears of the Kingdom, one can spot the absence of a name above the NPC's head, replaced instead by the generic label "Traveler," as they traverse Hyrule alone. The specifics of the impressive device utilized by the player to create the massive explosion and its mechanical intricacies remain elusive. What truly astounds is the impeccable timing executed by the player, resulting in the Yiga member meeting his explosive demise just as he attempted to evade.
Players in Tears of the Kingdom have already encountered several instances where they have amused themselves by pranking Yiga Clan members. One notable incident involved a player trolling a Clan member while they were riding a glider. Similar to the earlier trend of tormenting Koroks with Zonai devices, this practice of trolling Yiga Clan members has gained popularity among fans of Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is readily accessible on the Nintendo Switch platform.
