The latest player-builtTears of the Kingdomvehicle comes from Reddit user Shoe-Hat, who posted a video clip of their new creation to r/Zelda earlier this weekend. Using Link’s Autobuild skill, they outfit a dilapidated boat with various parts to create a self-propelling sea-craft. In addition to sailing the seas ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Shoe-Hat’s boat can take to dry land and attack enemies - either by running them over or blasting them with the automatic laser turrets that its creator installed on its bow.
Shoe-Hat’s self-propelling boat is impressive and serves as another shining example of howThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomallows players to create their own adventures by making vehicles and testing them out in the open world of Hyrule. This freedom is one of the many reasons thatTears of the Kingdomhas become one of2023’s biggest releases so far, andZeldaproducer Eiji Aonuma has hinted that the free-roaming and item-crafting format of the latestZeldagame could become the standard for the series going forward.
In the meantime, there seems to be no end to the constant wave of imaginative fancreations that emerge fromTears of the Kingdom’s player base, such as Shoe-Hat’s versatile watercraft. Be it on land or sea, this boat can carry Link across the realm of Hyrule and take care of any foes that come into his path thanks to its handy automatic lasers. It’s only a matter of time before another player comes up with something even more stunning, and fans of the latestZeldagame wouldn’t have it any other way.
