The Tears of the Kingdom community has collectively come up with some of the most ingenious and outrageous inventions since the game’s initial release. From your typical Hyrulean horse-drawn carriages all the way to the infamous Cart Shield you can use to perform sick rail grinds, gamers continue to think up new and entertaining ways of making the Zelda experience more satisfying than ever before.
This early on into the game’s lifespan, however, players are only beginning to scratch the surface of their creative potential as evidenced by one user’s invention of an incredible Gundam mech. After its initial reveal to the player base, other Zelda fans have since gone on to create their own versions of these towering giants that they now use to venture through the kingdom of Hyrule.
Obviously, this isn’t the only unique way of traveling through the game as others have also created impractical inverted carriages while another gamer even made a multistage rocket that would put SpaceX to shame. Nevertheless, having a massive mech on your side – a la The Iron Giant – is undoubtedly one of the flashiest ways to flex your outside-the-box thinking skills.
Now, although walking through grassy plains and flying across the sky atop these automatons can be enjoyable, I would argue that these creations would be better served in a much different and more primitive environment: a multiplayer setting that pits one mech against another in a battle to the death. A Hyrulean arena where the winner takes all and the loser goes home with nothing but the remnants of their former companion.
This would make Tears of the Kingdom much more enjoyable and would give these inventions additional purpose outside of building for building’s sake. That’s not to say that constructing wacky objects can’t be enjoyable by itself, of course, as a large number of players continue to have fun with the game’s limitless possibilities. However, there will come a time where its novelty will eventually wear off and a multiplayer mode incentivizing these creative features may help prevent just that.
Naturally, a Tears of the Kingdom multiplayer mode would also largely benefit those looking to make the most out of the game’s features with their friends. Can you imagine creating your own personal structures using the new Ultrahand and Fuse abilities? Much like other base building survival games in Rust and Grounded, this would give Tears of the Kingdom a brand new cooperative element that could make the Zelda series more palatable to a different audience.
Additionally, the introduction of all Skyview Tower locations means you also won’t be limited to creating your hypothetical campsite on the ground. You won’t need to fight it out with other players just for a piece of real estate; you can simply head to these floating hubs to create your own piece of paradise away from the land-based chaos.
But, alas, this isn’t the first time that players have thought of including this within a Zelda game as a few dedicated players had previously decided to create a mod introducing multiplayer to Breath of the Wild. Nintendo, who don’t take too kindly to having their intellectual property tampered with, immediately put a stop to the group behind the mod.
According to an article from Wccftech, the Japanese video game company had even previously decided to issue copyright strikes to normal BotW gameplay videos, so their strict guidelines will surely not allow a Tears of the Kingdom multiplayer pipe dream to come to fruition any time soon. Hopefully, this is an idea that Nintendo entertains in the future, but for now we’ll have to enjoy our flying Gundam mechs and Hyrulean rocket ships by ourselves.
