The Ultimate Power of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Unleashed
A clever player of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devises a brilliant strategy to avoid bad weather by transforming an enemy into a rain detector This ingenious solution streamlines the gameplay and adds an exciting twist to the adventure
A skilled player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ingeniously turned a formidable foe into a mere rain detector using a complex machine, showcasing the game's potential for crafting intricate Rube Goldberg devices. The impressive feat was shared online, following the discovery of another player's trick for significantly extending vehicle despawn distance in the game. Tears of the Kingdom builds on the design of Breath of the Wild, introducing major enhancements such as the Ultrahand tool, which empowers players to create structures and transport by combining movable objects found in the game's open world or inventory.
Reddit user Penguin_Poacher has taken advantage of the rain sensor ability in Tears of the Kingdom by creating an overengineered contraption that automates the process of skipping bad weather by a campfire. To achieve this, they trapped an Electric Lizalfos, one of the game's most dangerous non-boss enemies, to power a mechanism that raises a roof and starts a campfire as soon as the first drops of rain boost the creature's attack and make it emit electricity. The complexity of this achievement has impressed many fans, although it's worth noting that the design could have worked just as well with a static roof. While the author hasn't shared a detailed explanation of how they made the retractable roof, it's possible that a wheel-connected platform on a Zonai Spring was used. The arm that starts the campfire appears to use a similar setup leveraging two wooden beams joined by a wheel, with the actual spark coming from a single piece of Fire Fruit placed next to a flint and some wood.
This creation showcased by players of Tears of the Kingdom is a testament to the limitless possibilities within the game's sandbox environment. It also demonstrates the potential for constructing Zonai machinery without draining Link's Energy Cell reserves, particularly during rainy weather conditions. The game is readily accessible on the Nintendo Switch platform.
