A player's unfortunate timing in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has led to speculation that the Koroks are seeking revenge for the traps and torture devices used against them. The game builds upon the expansive open world of Breath of the Wild, offering players an even larger world to explore and new abilities to utilize, including Ultrahand. This power enables players to create a wide range of structures and vehicles to overcome challenges. Since release, players have showcased their creativity with impressive mechs and innovative solutions to shrine puzzles. However, some have used Link's abilities to torment the woodland creatures known as Koroks, constructing cruel contraptions or launching them from vehicles. Now, it appears that the Koroks may be retaliating.
A new video has been circulating on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit, featuring a user named Groovycrepes who stumbled upon a surprising discovery. While exploring the game's vast world, players can often encounter Korok creatures through various means, such as solving puzzles or interacting with objects. However, in this particular instance, standing on a small platform triggered an unexpected event that caught the player off guard.
Instead of a simple puzzle, the platform triggered a falling rock that caused the player to plummet to the ground. Although the fall did not result in the player's death, many viewers joked that it seemed like a trap set up by the Korok to get revenge on players for the torture chambers they have built since the game's launch.
Players can showcase their creativity in various ways in Tears of the Kingdom, not just through Korok torture. Some players have already found impressive solutions to in-game challenges, like using Recall to complete a three-minute collection challenge with NPC Juney. These moments of ingenuity truly highlight the potential for player expression in the game. Get your hands on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom now, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
