Players of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom build impressive battering ram

A player of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has built an impressive battering ram that seems to fulfill its main function very well. For fans who wish to build the same contraption in Tears of the Kingdom, it could be helpful to take some notes on how this player was able to assemble such a functional yet magnificent creation.

Since the release of the action role-playing game in May 2023, the community seems to have come alive with their creative building ideas. The building features of Tears of the Kingdom offer players a lot of freedom when it comes to creating their own devices, vehicles, or machines. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are numerous posts about it on the internet. And with no confirmed news from Nintendo regarding future Tears of the Kingdom DLC, the community has no choice but to spend their time with the currently available features of the video game.

On Reddit, user vanilla_thunder_96 shared a short video of the impressive battering ram construction they built in Tears of the Kingdom. Although the machine doesn't appear overly complex, the builder has certainly invested time to ensure that the battering ram fulfills its function effectively. The combination of Zonai elements is well thought out, with vanilla_thunder_96 using fans to propel the machine forward and flame emitters to operate the actual ramming arm. In the video, we can see the machine effortlessly smashing against a large gate and opening it within just 30 seconds.

The Redditor also made a reference to "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" when sharing the video of their battering ram, stating, "Grond will break it," alluding to Sauron's colossal battering ram, which stood a hundred feet tall and had the head of a wolf. Other fans appreciated the reference to "The Lord of the Rings" and repeated the name "Grond" multiple times in a comment thread. Naturally, others were also impressed by the builder's work. Considering the limited number of buildable objects and Zonai devices in Tears of the Kingdom, creating a fully functional battering ram is truly an incredible achievement.

As players of Tears of the Kingdom always strive to create something new in their gameplay, it could be fun to see if they get inspired by vanilla_thunder_96's battering ram. They might replicate the machine in their own games, but they could also further improve the design. Nevertheless, players will always find ways to make it entertaining for fellow Tears of the Kingdom fans.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for Nintendo Switch.
