Occasionally, I’ll try a “weird controller” challenge: I mean, playing things with aDDRmat is just a fun idea. But have you ever considered beatingZelda: Tears of the Kingdombosses with an ocarina?
Reddit user gvmimijust did it. And for multiple fights, too!
I beat the Wind Temple Boss with my Ocarina as a controllerbyu/gvmimiintearsofthekingdom
Here they are fighting the Wind Temple boss.And the Water Temple boss. And astonishingly,the Lightning Temple boss.Their goal is to beat the whole game with said Ocarina controller, which subs for a traditional control method for the Switch.
How are they doing it?As gvmimi notes: “I have a program on my computer that allows me to map different musical notes/frequencies to different inputs.” They also pointed out that they’ve clearedBreath of the Wildwith an Ocarina, so their determination is now tenfold.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be talked about for years
When I first experiencedTears of the Kingdomin complete isolation during the review period, I knew it was going to be big when it came to showing off emergent gameplay online (bold claim, I know!). There are just so many divergent puzzle solutions that it’s a blast to see how someone else handled a problem. In fact,Ispecificallysought out other people who also cleared a lot of puzzles bythrowing a bunch of stuff in a pile until it built a giant contraption. It was straight out of that scene inHome Alone 2where Marv builds a little structure to help him and Harry get out of the basement of Uncle Rob and Aunt Georgette’s townhouse.
Where was I? Oh,Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis a fun game to both play and watch: which is becoming a rarity as many other AAA games rely on old open world tropes.
