Summary
- A Tears of the Kingdom player showcases creativity by building a mechanical rhinoceros.
- Players continue to find new things to build in Tears of the Kingdom.
- The impressive rhinoceros build was created using various Zonai devices and the q-linking technique.
While playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a player created a mechanical rhinoceros, achieving impressive results. The Tears of the Kingdom community enjoys testing the limits of the game’s building abilities, and this Rhino build is an excellent example of what is possible when using Ultrahand and a technique called quantum linking.
Despite being over a year old, players continue to return to Tears of the Kingdom, even without new DLC to check out. One reason for this ongoing relevance is Link's abilities in Tears of the Kingdom, which allow players to build incredible contraptions. Long after the credits for the story roll, some players continue to engage with the game by creating new and inventive designs. Some of these creations even appear online, showcasing what can be made using various Zonai devices.
Recently, one player known as kmarkow on Reddit showcased their impressive rhinoceros built out of Zonai devices and other scraps found around Tears of the Kingdom’s open world. Specifically, the player used things like Big Wheels, Stabilizers, and Queen Gibdo Wings to help create the machine. By utilizing these and other items, the player created a shape reminiscent of a rhinol, even including a horn on its head. In addition, kmarkow helped sell the look by creating a convincing walking cycle.
Tears of the Kingdom Player's Mechanical Rhino
This unique design has caught the attention of other building enthusiasts on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, with the post gaining hundreds of upvotes. In the comments, users complimented kmarkow on using Queen Gibdo Wings, saying it was a very creative yet suitable choice for the design. It is worth noting that the creator said quantum linking, a trick used to allow for better builds in Tears of the Kingdom, was used to create the rhino.
Beyond this recent Rhino build, kmarkow has built up an incredible list of creations in Tears of the Kingdom. While the player has come up with all sorts of build ideas, they have created many other animal builds, in particular. For example, they previously built a mechanical kitten in Tears of the Kingdom that included feline features like pointed ears, whiskers, and a tail. Some other animal-themed creations they have shared on Reddit include a dinosaur, a bird, and a giraffe, to name a few.
Hopefully, players like kmarkow will continue to create impressive machines in Tears of the Kingdom for the foreseeable future. While the game does not look to be getting DLC, the game’s building community has helped keep fans entertained with new designs to check out.
