Ultrababouin uploaded their video to the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, a hub whereTears of the Kingdomplayers can share their in-game creations. The montage took nearly a month to complete, and it was an entry in the community’s design contest for June. Ultrababouin has submitted other works in the past, such as aTears of the Kingdomversion of the Master Cycle Zero, and the builder was even crowned Engineer of the Month in December and February.
The Master Cycle Zero is a Rune inBreath of the Wildthat acts like a horse-shaped motorcycle. While this item did not appear inTears of the Kingdom, the newer title did introduce a build system that allowed the construction of vehicles and other machines. Players have used this sytem to create all sorts of things, with one Hyrule Engineering member who goes by the name ryt1314059 even making anaircraft carrier inTears of the Kingdomthat had the ability to launch a working bomber.
The next mainline installment inThe Legend of Zelda,Echoes of Wisdom, is set to come out on September 26. UnlikeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomand most of the series' other entries,Echoes of Wisdomwill star the franchise’s titular princess instead of recurring protagonist Link.
