A skilled player has constructed a remarkable dinosaur mech using Zonai technology, highlighting the game's limitless creative potential.
Comprised of diverse Zonai fragments, the mech possesses the ability to move independently, although it is primarily designed for entertainment rather than combat or transportation purposes.
A talented player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has constructed an impressive mechanical creature resembling a dinosaur, capable of independent movement. This innovative creation stands out among the various inventions made using Zonai devices in Tears of the Kingdom thus far.
Traditionally, the Zelda series was not associated with the construction of elaborate contraptions. However, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has changed that. With Link's new abilities in the game and the introduction of Zonai devices, players now have the ability to craft unique vehicles for traversing long distances and create powerful weapons to combat hordes of enemies. Despite the game's release being only a few months ago, the Zelda community has already demonstrated the extent to which they can push the limits of what can be achieved with Zonai technology. Surprisingly, every week someone manages to go even further in surpassing these boundaries.
Reddit user woahniceclouds shared an impressive video featuring their fearsome creation - a walking dinosaur mech. The video begins with Link activating this remarkable Zonai-designed beast, showcasing its ability to stomp around independently. Additionally, the clip highlights Link's Autobuild capability, demonstrating how quickly he can assemble this monstrous mech. At one point, we see Link riding atop the dinosaur's head, and the final shot showcases its remarkable ability to see through misty environments in the game.
What truly sets this mech apart is the clever utilization of various Zonai pieces. The dinosaur's head is ingeniously crafted using two Sleds and some lights, while its tail is composed of a Stake. Surprisingly, the dinosaur's small arms are actually fashioned from two Zonai Steering Sticks, and its legs consist of Big Wheels and inverted Sleds. The mech's stability is ensured through strategically placed Stabilizers. Some fans in the comments have suggested adding lasers or fire-breathing abilities to make the mech combat-ready. However, while Link can ride on its head, it does not function effectively as a vehicle. Presently, this dinosaur mech is purely designed for recreational enjoyment.
A snake mech was created in Tears of the Kingdom by a Reddit user known as MobilePlant8269, displaying several resemblances. With increasing familiarity in constructing with Zonai devices, it is likely that fans of Zelda will come across additional mech videos featuring animal-like creations in the future. Tears of the Kingdom, part of The Legend of Zelda franchise, can be played on the Nintendo Switch.
