Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Impressive Submarine

A player frequenting The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has shared the efficient submarine they built in-game using the popular Zonai technology, and for a game that doesn’t allow Link to dive underwater, it’s an impressive feat. The Tears of the Kingdom community has used the last two years to create almost any vehicle, landmark, or overpowered weapon, from Trojan Horses to elaborate boats.

The action-adventure game from Nintendo launched in 2023 to critical acclaim as the anticipated Breath of the Wild successor, and the title went on to become the eighth best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch. After indulging Nintendo’s stacked and varied portfolio of games expanding the world of Hyrule, some Legend of Zelda fans would like to see a multiverse established in the next title to lean into past teases that suggest the Zelda timeline is multi-layered instead of linear.

Posted on Reddit by ryt1314059, a lengthy video was shared on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, which is a space dedicated to Zonai builders in the game. Similar to another Tears of the Kingdom player who built a different submarine to ride under enemies, this player’s submersible vehicle cruises underwater and rises seamlessly to the community’s surprise using a clever buoyancy mechanic. The builder explained the buoyancy is adjusted by a mechanism involving the big wheel and a rubber ball, and admitted that part was a difficult challenge to overcome.

A separate Tears of the Kingdom enthusiast even 3D-printed the game’s Zonai batteries as keepsakes, and the submarine builder demonstrated the demanding battery power needed to run a vehicle of this scale. Redditors showered the in-game engineer with praise for bringing a sturdy sea tank to life reminiscent of Das Boot. A few fan comments asked for a tutorial, and the creator confirmed one would be posted to YouTube soon so that other engineers could learn from this incredible accomplishment and replicate that innovation in their designs.

Tears of the Kingdom harbors several useful Zonai Devices for building impressive vehicles, structures, and weapons to combat Ganondorf’s dark forces. These robust devices can be found on the game’s Sky Islands in exchange for Zonai Charges and are powered by batteries, as seen in the submarine build, or by Link’s Energy Cell. From fans and rockets to flame emitters and big wheels, the extensive list of devices on offer covers just about any construction idea players have in mind.
