The Ultimate Guardian Stalker: Unleash the Power in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Highlights

A player in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom built a battle-ready Guardian Stalker, a terrifying enemy from Breath of the Wild.

In Tears of the Kingdom, there are no Guardians present. However, a dedicated player has managed to construct a Guardian Stalker using the game's building mechanics. The player has meticulously assembled the machine, incorporating a variety of materials and utilizing a highly effective combination of Zonai weapons.

One player has managed to construct a formidable Guardian Stalker from Breath of the Wild within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This intricate creation adds to the growing collection of menacing war machines that players of Tears of the Kingdom have been constructing since the game's release.

The absence of Guardians, a specific type of enemy from Breath of the Wild, in the latest Zelda game has been noted. While some players hope for their return in a potential Tears of the Kingdom DLC, many are satisfied with their absence. These robotic creatures were known for causing significant trouble throughout Breath of the Wild, particularly in the early stages of the game, making encounters with them truly terrifying.

While the Guardians may no longer exist in Tears of the Kingdom, they remain unforgettable to Reddit user Huydeptrai0794. Recently, this skilled player took on the challenge of recreating the most formidable version of these enemies, known as the Guardian Stalker, using the game's building mechanics. Their efforts were highly successful, as proven by a recent video demonstration showcasing the machine effortlessly defeating a Black Bokoblin.

Constructing this impressive creation was no simple task. The legs were made up of six carefully joined Colgera jaws, attached to a wooden cartwheel with the help of Zonai Big Wheels. The machine was able to walk due to the rotating motion of the wheels. While obtaining multiple Colgera jaws in Tears of the Kingdom can be time-consuming, the creator of the Guardian Stalker found an alternative method. They defeated a single Colgera and used Link's Autobuild ability to duplicate its jaw, each costing three Zonaite. This allowed them to gather the necessary six jaws for their battle-ready machine.

The remaining parts of the build are straightforward. The mech's body consists of a single balloon basket with a Zonai Steering Stick. On top of it is a Construct Head equipped with a Zonai Beam Emitter and Cannon, which is a popular combination in the current Tears of the Kingdom building meta. This combo essentially acts as an auto-targeting laser turret. The video shared by the machine's author on Reddit also demonstrates that this makeshift Guardian Stalker is surprisingly responsive to control, despite its mechanically complex, spider-like movements.
