Zelda Player's Mech Creation Will Blow Your Mind: See It in Action!

A skilled player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has managed to construct a fully-functional mech based on the Autobots from the Transformers franchise. This impressive feat of engineering was shared online, adding to the already impressive array of community creations being showcased by the Tears of the Kingdom fandom in recent weeks. Mechs have proven particularly popular among players, likely due to their ability to provide both practical utility and visually impressive designs that are sure to generate social media buzz. While some creations, such as the Tears of the Kingdom King Gleeok mech, draw inspiration directly from the game, others look to external sources for inspiration.

Reddit user Okossen has created a fully functional mech inspired by the Transformers franchise. The Autobot is made up of two separate designs, and the transformation is handled by Tears of the Kingdom's Autobuild. This Purah Pad ability enables the mech to switch between bipedal and four-wheel forms within seconds, making it a highly versatile addition to Link's collection of gadgets. A video of the creation in action went viral on Reddit, with fans expressing admiration for the engineering ingenuity behind the design. Okossen has even shared a tutorial for those interested in building their own Autobot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The video details the assembly of the bipedal form, but as the two designs share parts, creating a car-like contraption should be a simple task with many possible solutions.

Link cannot control the Transformers-inspired robot in its bipedal form as it uses Zonai Homing Carts for its feet. Instead, he simply rides along as the machine takes down any enemies in its path. While the mech's auto-locking weaponry may seem perplexing to newcomers, it is actually made up of Zonai Beam Emitters attached to Construct Heads, which handle targeting. These Construct Heads can be found early on in the game's tutorial area. Okossen's innovative idea to use a singular component list for multiple mech forms could have significant implications for the game's building meta, potentially rivaling the impact of other creative concepts such as powering vehicles with enemies instead of batteries.

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