Player Creates Impressive Mechanical Fish in Tears of the Kingdom

Oh, boy. So here we go, trying to put this all together like a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces, you know? Anyway, there’s this player in Tears of the Kingdom — let’s call them a mad scientist — who somehow created a massive mechanical fish. Yeah, a fish. Because why not, right? This game just keeps surprising us with what you can do. I mean, we’re talking about a game where building crazy stuff has become an art.

So, this fish thing? It wasn’t just plucked from the ocean floor. Nah, it was inspired by some other player’s sea creature idea — from another corner of the internet. A sort of "hey, I see your fish, and I’ll raise you one!"

But here’s the kicker. They used this glitch, a so-called enlargement glitch, which still works in the game’s latest version. What’s cool — or maybe strange — is that this glitch lets you stretch parts like they’re made of silly putty.

One of the game’s creative wizards, Kmarkow, who’s kind of a big deal in a community called r/HyruleEngineering — don’t ask how to pronounce it — took the concept and ran with it. Their fish came alive using parts like a Tenoko island boat. This thing floats like a dream, apparently the best for building boats in the game. But hey, I’m no expert. Anyway, these geniuses used a glitch named Moe, not sure if it’s a person or another inside joke since 2025 and there’s something poetic about these things sticking around.

Oh, and there’s this crazy list of parts involved. Like, there are five Zonai Sleds (because four just wouldn’t cut it), some construct heads (creepy or cool — up to you), and other miscellaneous bits that make up this techno-fish. Throw in a steering stick and a battery, and you’ve got yourself a robotic fish ready to… swim? No, soar? Who even knows at this point.

And there’s talk of a new edition for the Switch 2. Suppose it’s launching in June with all the flashy updates. But back to the fish — it’s not even using up all the slots. There’s room for a cannon. Yeah, a cannon, because why build a giant fish if it can’t shoot stuff, right?

I bet there’s someone reading this, thinking, “Who dreams this up?” Well, folks like Kmarkow do. Maybe they’re sipping coffee at a dimly lit desk, eyes glazed over in a creative haze, while building mechanical marvels. Whatever the case, here we are, nerding out over a digital fish.

So, yeah, there’s your tangled web of glitches, gears, and gamer genius. Why it’s stuck with me, I can’t even begin to tell you.
