In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there’s basic-level building stuff, which the game makes you do: Make a cart! Make a sled! Make a really really really long bridge so you don’t have to figure out the Fire Temple!
But then there is truly next-level stuff, from creating Pacific Rim or Apocalypse Now homages to terrifyingly creative ways to kill bokoblins and lynels to… creating a whole short film featuring an impressively designed Godzilla-like behemoth.
Poor Lurelin Village! They’ve already been through so much, and then Twitter user @sumoguri2323 sets a beast from the ocean on them.

If you’ve played Tears of the Kingdom, you know what a feat this is. Building things with the Ultrahand ability is cool, but it’s also incredibly frustrating. Creating something like this requires an immeasurable amount of patience and precision. And it’s not just the big guy that’s so cleverly built here, but also the village defenses! Laser tanks! Helpless, defeated laser tanks.
I’ve seen some pretty cool builds in the months since the game arrived, but not very many honest-to-goodness short movies, complete with sound effects and music. (I particularly like the cut to the bone tail smashing the boxes. Nothing on this guy is not powerful.)
If you would like to build your own mecha-bone-kaiju, well, get thee to Hyrule.
