An imaginative twist on fishing in Hyrule emerged as a player from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduced a groundbreaking electric fishing boat to the game. This unconventional vessel quickly garnered admiration from other Tears of the Kingdom enthusiasts for its effectiveness in amassing crucial fish supplies for culinary and crafting purposes.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom signifies a significant leap from Nintendo, enhancing the already robust sandbox features of its predecessor, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Central to this advancement is the intricate and inventive Ultrahand mechanic in Tears of the Kingdom, enabling players like Link to manipulate and connect objects freely. Leveraging this mechanic along with the game's physics engine and other mechanisms, players can create a wide array of structures, from basic shelters to complex machinery like working mechs.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Introduces Electric Fishing Boat
One standout creation is the electric fishing boat devised by Reddit user PhilfromNewJersey, who showcased their innovation on the Zelda subreddit. Through a shared video clip, PhilfromNewJersey unveiled the electric fishing boat featuring a setup of Tears of the Kingdom Zonai devices at its core. The boat is equipped with Zonai Fans, Zonai Shock Emitters, and a Steering Stick interconnected by three strategically positioned planks. When activated, the Shock Emitters submerged beneath the waterline stun nearby fish, causing them to float to the surface and be collected in the boat's front funnel for easy retrieval.
The community lauded PhilfromNewJersey's creativity, noting the striking resemblance of the design to real-world electro-fishing vessels that use electric fields to immobilize and gather fish. Observers humorously speculated about Link's transformation of Hyrule's fishing industry into a more industrialized operation, jesting about potential fish stock shortages and market crashes. Some highlighted the upgraded features of PhilfromNewJersey's electric fishing boat compared to the in-game Fishing Trawler acquired through Tears of the Kingdom Yiga Schematics.
Questions surfaced regarding the safety measures against the Shock Emitters, with suggestions of protective gear like armor or Shock Resistance food for Link. However, PhilfromNewJersey clarified that Link remains unaffected by the electric fields emitted by the Shock Emitters. With its enhanced safety, maneuverability, and functionality, the customized electric fishing boat surpassed the game's existing designs. The Tears of the Kingdom community continues to dazzle with its inventive spirit and ability to push boundaries, even a year post-release.
