Player builds 'Orbital Strike Laser Canon' in Tears of the Kingdom

Posted in News

We’ve seen some pretty incredible creations in Tears of the Kingdom – from mechs to war machines, but this one has to be the most ambitious and useful yet. A working ‘orbital strike’ canon that's capable of killing bosses in a matter of seconds has now made its way into Hyrule. And the good news is, it's not impossible to build.

The canon, which made its way on to Reddit has already garnered rave reviews across the board, in a game that is fast becoming less about the story and more about what is being made via the new Ultrahand ability. This laser canon was created by using a rocket to turn a Hover Stone into a weapons platform – so theoretically it's something that anyone can do.

You can watch the amazing canon in action right here. Earlier in the week, we covered how someone built a working mech, which can be seen here. It has wheels, arms and towers over Link in the footage, which was originally put on TikTok by Soulbanana.
