In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players can freely express their creativity with a new feature… and cause mischief.
Nintendo likes to target a younger audience with its games. Titles like Mario, Pokémon, or Zelda are largely family-friendly and can be played in the presence of children, with some exceptions.
This also includes the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK). It has an age rating of 12 years and can therefore also be played by minors.
However, thanks to a new feature meant to inspire players’ creativity, the game is not always as family-friendly as one might think – at least depending on who is playing and what the person is doing with the given possibilities.
Numerous posts are now circulating on social media, where instead of creating an impressive construct that aids them in playing through the game, players are building penises of various sizes.
What is this feature? In Zelda: TotK, Nintendo has given players the ability to freely connect various objects like wooden poles to build mechanical constructs.
These can then be used to explore the map, solve puzzles, or even defeat boss enemies. However, nothing stops players from making a boat or a cannon look like a penis and possibly even attaching it between the legs of a giant wooden figure (via Twitter).
What have the players built? Zelda players have shared some rather adult-themed constructions on Twitter that they’ve used to disrupt the game world. The first one is a boat shaped like a penis (via Twitter).
Another player uses their hammer-like construct to successfully fight against a one-eyed boss enemy (via YouTube). The battle is described in the comments as: “Using a one-eyed monster to defeat a one-eyed monster.”
And then there are oversized figures that help with gardening or watering the landscape… or something like that.
Nintendo has definitely sparked the creativity of some players and, in a way, achieved what they probably intended with the new feature – even though the constructions probably don’t look quite like what one initially envisioned.
If you’re not just causing mischief in Zelda: TotK, there’s a lot to discover on the map, including the underground. How you get there is explained on MeinMMO:
