Tears of the Kingdom Prototype Footage Reveals How Ultrahand System Was Developed

Among the many new features of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, one of the most interesting is its building system via the Ultrahand mechanic, which lets players build vehicles and other structures out of parts. It’s a fascinating new mechanic, and we just got a look at some of its early development footage that seemingly shows the prototype system in action not in Tears of the Kingdom, but Breath of the Wild.

The footage comes courtesy of Nintendo, which has been posting a series of developer Q&As leading up to Breath of the Wild’s launch, along with some images and videos.
