We’ve seen countless clever Tears of the Kingdom creations since the Zelda game launched in May 2023, but this one caught our eye. Twitter user versus_shobu posted a 30-second video showing an elaborate contraption they made that’s basically a giant Beyblade spinner in the open world.
Versus_shobu uses stakes and metal grates for the creation’s frame, taking advantage of the stakes’ transparent base to get the right height by securing them at the tip. Also included are two electric devices to spread electrical current along the metal grates at the top and two spinning devices, for, well, spin. The Beyblades themselves are two more square metal grates and two stabilizers for the bases, with wheels attached on top for a clever reason.

Two flame emitters on the main frame are aimed at the Beyblades and ignite the wheels once versus_shobu starts the device. The wheels disintegrate, and the blades drop to the ground while retaining their velocity.
They even dug out an arena for the spinners to duke it out in, though things went rather wrong, and one of the blades goes rogue. Then they both escape the arena and fizzle out soon after.
The creation is a smart and inventive one, and it wasn’t even designed for torturing Koroks. Well, not yet at least.
Versus_shobo also said they’ve used wagon wheels as joints for larger contraptions, so if you’d rather avoid using your valuable cooking pots, it’s worth giving that a try. Wheels are hardly rare in Hyrule thanks to Hudson and his ubiquitous caches of building supplies.
