A creative gamer found a clever way to use a dragon as a heat source for cooking food while playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This game builds upon the open-world concept introduced in its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, by allowing players to tackle any situation, whether it be combat or a puzzle, in their own way.
Tears of the Kingdom offers a range of gameplay mechanics and systems, making it reminiscent of immersive sims like Prey or the Dishonored games. These intricate systems are often introduced to the player without extensive explanations of how they can be manipulated. For example, a Tears of the Kingdom player discovered that a Zonai canon can be used as a shoulder-mounted gun when combined with a weapon.
A player of Tears of the Kingdom showcased their innovative cooking technique on the game's subreddit. They utilized the game's logical system and the space between the scorching hot horns of the dragon Dinraal to cook Raw Meat to perfection. Dinraal, an ever-present dragon in the skies of Hyrule, flies over the Akkala and Eldin regions of the map. Eldin is known for being the home of the Gorons, a mountain-dwelling people who are as accustomed to living around lava as the fish-like Zora are to living in water.
The Reddit user SquatCorgiLegs shared a 29-second video clip of Link standing on Dinraal's head, specifically in the small gap between the dragon's majestic orangey-red horns. The glowing aura emanating from Dinraal's horns serves a purpose beyond aesthetics. Each of the Tears of the Kingdom's four dragons represents a different element, and the glow indicates that the horns emit such intense heat that they cooked the five pieces of Raw Meat that SquatCorgiLegs placed between them.
Attempting to concoct a pizza by dropping cheese, wheat, and tomatoes onto Dinraal's head will merely result in the ingredients being cooked due to the application of fire. However, if a player seeks to swiftly restore Link's health with a straightforward meal, there is no cooking surface in the entirety of Hyrule more exceptional than that of a dragon's head. Nintendo Switch users can enjoy The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
