Player in “Tears of the Kingdom” Crafts Impressive Mechanical Fish

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

So, there’s this wild thing going on in the world of Tears of the Kingdom—totally blew my mind. Some genius player made a massive mechanical fish you can actually pilot. I mean, who thinks of these things? Anyway, everyone online is losing it, and I’m kinda here for it. Okay, moving on.

The game’s been around for a couple of years now—came out on May 12th, if memory serves. Still, people are going wild with all this creative stuff. It’s like a playground for anyone who likes to tinker and mess around for hours, just building and sharing these crazy creations.

Right, so this fish… it’s all thanks to Kmarkow (real legend on the r/HyruleEngineering subreddit). Their inspiration came from another user, Uoma_Never_Seen, who had this sea creature concept, and somehow also a giant mechanical goose? Yeah, you read that right.

Oh, fun fact—Kmarkow’s mechanical fish uses this enlargement glitch. Not gonna lie, glitches usually give me a headache. But hey, it works in the latest game version, 1.2.1, so it’s gotta be legit, right? I’m curious if this glitch will stick around for the new Switch 2 Edition coming out soon. Nintendo hasn’t patched it yet, at least as of their last update.

To build this thing, Kmarkow got creative with a Tenoko island boat—it’s just perfect for making these floating gadgets because it floats like a champ. They used this “Moe enlargement glitch”… sounds like sorcery or something from a sci-fi movie.

Here’s what they threw into the mix: five sleds, three construct heads, three fans, a couple of enlarged Keese eyeballs, and more. There’s this steering stick and a big battery in there too. When you lay it all out, it’s like 18 different bits and pieces. And get this—there’s still room for more gear, like maybe a cannon. Just imagine it… a mechanical fish with a cannon. It’s like something from a comic book.

What’s really cool is seeing ordinary stuff like those Zonai sleds reinvented as fish fins. Just thinking about how that would look… fascinating, really. Anyway, that’s enough of my rambling. Just wild how a game can stir up so much creativity and unexpected surprises.
