Unveiling a Spectacular 3-Floor House Design in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

A dedicated player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has successfully built an impressive three-floor house, despite facing various limitations within the game's home construction mechanics. Eager to showcase their accomplishment, they took to the internet just as speculation arose about an upcoming Tears of the Kingdom DLC announcement. The game's recent overhaul of the home-building mechanics, possibly in response to fan feedback, has resulted in a significantly enhanced system. Players now have the ability to construct and personalize their ideal Hyrule home, with assistance from familiar characters.

Few players have been able to fully explore the potential of the Tears of the Kingdom home-building system like Reddit user dullxeyes. After 17 attempts, this dedicated fan managed to create an impressive three-floor house that includes almost every in-game amenity, from a stable and bedroom to a garden pond, kitchen, blessing room, and various equipment stands.

Although the home-building system in Tears of the Kingdom is a significant improvement compared to the previous game, it still comes with certain limitations that restrict players. One major restriction is the 15-room limit, which prevents fans from using all 18 available amenities simultaneously. Additionally, the system's reliance on 2 x 1 blocks for most rooms, rather than the more versatile 1 x 1 dimensions, makes it challenging to design multi-floor structures. As a result, many players have settled for simple box-shaped buildings or open-air Tears of the Kingdom resorts. Given these constraints, dullxeyes' three-floor design stands out as truly impressive.

The author of this spacious housing unit had to find a workaround to the game's building restrictions by making the upper floors inaccessible through regular means. Instead, they utilized the Tears of the Kingdom's Ascend ability, allowing Link to traverse through nearby overhead horizontal platforms. Essentially, this ability functions as a one-way elevator.

Some fans, impressed by this achievement, took the opportunity to urge Nintendo to expand the game's home construction mechanics. They expressed the desire for a smoother process in building multi-floor houses, without the need for complicated workarounds. However, it remains uncertain whether the developer will address these requests. It is important to note that even if they do, it is unlikely to be a direct response to these pleas. The game's post-launch content roadmap, which may include Tears of the Kingdom DLC, has likely already been finalized for some time now.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
