Despite The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being nearly a year old, imaginative fans are still using its Zonai devices and Ultrahand mechanic to craft incredible creations. For instance, someone recently managed to put together a recreation of the intro to the original 80s Transformers cartoon.
As spotted by , the 33 second clip was shared to the , where Tears of the Kingdom players post videos and screenshots of any in-game builds they’re proud of, or ask for general building advice. This clip is simply an impressive feat of engineering, with it featuring 34 different builds according to creator . Aside from making stand-ins for the Autobots and Decepticons, they built their vehicle forms, their weapons, and even the Transformers logo.
Unsurprisingly, all this took an incredibly long time. While the whole thing is less than a minute long, ReelDeadOne says they recorded 197 hours of gameplay for it. That’s over eight days worth of footage. As for how they filmed it, they used Link as the camera, though obviously some editing in post was needed for certain shots. The part I find most impressive is when the Soundwave stand-in opens his chest to fire out Ravage and Laserbeak. ReelDeadOne achieved this by “simply not attaching his legs and shoulder gun.” I also love how they used minecarts for building Megatron’s gun form.
ReelDeadOne has also shared , where you can see how well they recreated the framing of sh🐷ots, as well as showing all the times things went wrong. Those more interested in the creative process will want to watch showing how ReelDeadOne filmed everything.
This clip is not only a testament to the imagination of Tears of the Kingdom‘s players, but also to Nintendo’s work on the game itself. After all, players wouldn’t be able to make such amazing creations without the tools Nintendo provided. There’s no telling when the next Zelda game will come out but, until then, I get the sense we’ll still be seeing mind-blowing Tears of the Kingdom builds for a long time.
