A creative Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player recently built an impressive mechanical goose. The latest The Legend of Zelda game is not only an epic open-world quest to save the realm of Hyrule from the wicked Ganondorf but also an unexpected outlet for players to build imaginative contraptions using Link’s new Fuse and Ultrahand abilities. Since Tears of the Kingdom launched on the Nintendo Switch in May, fans have shown off all manner of vehicles, buildings, and gadgets that can be crafted using the raw materials and ancient Zonai devices found across Hyrule.

These gadgets include fully ridable battle mechs that can assist Link in Tears of the Kingdom’s many missions and sidequests. Such player-made designs have ranged from weird snake-like automatons that can extend themselves for added range and stability to robots inspired by the infamous ED-209 from Robocop and the colossal Hulkbuster suit employed by Iron Man in the many Marvel comics and films.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s devoted player base can now add “giant mechanical goose” to the ever-growing list of inspired battle mechs that have aided Link in combat thanks to the work of a Reddit user by the handle of Uoma_Never_Seen. They posted a video of this creation to r/HyruleEngineering, a subreddit devoted to showing off player creations in Tears of the Kingdom. For example, Uoma_Never_Seen’s goose is a bipedal, mechanical bird that can follow Link on its own or carry the hero of Hyrule on its back across either land or water.

Uoma_Never_Seen presented their awe-inspiring goose mech with a text narration describing how Link found his new “friend” one day, only to be met with tragedy when the goose’s wing was destroyed in battle. From that point on, the goose resided in a lake, where it carried Link in a small cockpit on its head like a self-propelled Tears of the Kingdom boat whenever the young hero came to visit. Uoma_Never_Seen credited another Reddit user named The_Janeway_Effect with providing a building tutorial for crafting walking mechs in Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has become a killer app for the Nintendo Switch almost immediately upon release, with its sales figures even rivaling last year’s massively successful Elden Ring. A big part of this success comes from Tears of the Kingdom’s surprisingly versatile crafting mechanics, which have allowed players to build all kinds of impressive and imaginative contraptions in the open world of Hyrule - including a giant mechanical goose to ferry Link across the lakes and seas along his path.
