Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom becomes Subnautica with this first-person submarine build

Over the course of the past two months, multiple 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players have shared ideas to create a submarine that lets you explore the game's underwater areas from a first-person perspective, and they've finall🐎y got an impressive working model.

That's quite a feat considering that Tears of the Kingdom doesn't letไ you go underwater or play in first-person, but a player who goes by smaho_neko figured out a way🦹 to change that. As notes, smaho_neko previously discovered a Breath of the Wild exploit that allowed you to look underwater in first-person by trapping Link under a cryonis block, but that technique wouldn't work in Tears of the Kingdom.

So, smaho-neko started trying to find an alternative method with an Ultrahand build. Initially, that process resulted in several machines that could succinctly be described as 🐭Link torture devices, repeatedly ꦑdunking the hero underwater at extreme velocities like an overactive Ferris wheel. Eventually, the design turned into a small box consisting of a square board, two small rectangular boards, a wooden pillar, and a Zonai floating stone.

You can see a demonstration of this 'Hydroscope' build in the , but basically it serves as an underwater observation box, letting you take a close look at the aquatic locations that are normally inaccessible to Link. A few weeks later, smaho_neko followed up w🅷ith an that uses a Zonai stake to keep the Hyd🌸roscope rooted in place.

But it was another player, sumoguri232🌃3, who brought the design to its . Inspired by the Hydroscope🎐 design, sumoguri2323 made it part of a watercraft, giving Link a submarine to explore underwater with. It's essentially a marginally-less-terrifying version of Subnautica at this point.

Now that we're a few months out from Tears of the Kingdom's launch, the community creations are starting to get truly wild, ranging from a tribute to the weirdest si🌼dequest in Majora's Mask to an increasingly humiliating series of traps for Ganoℱn.

I'm nearly longing for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:simpler days of Korok torture.
