Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally out and people are finding out some hilarious ways of abusing certain gameplay mechanics.
Since Tears of the Kingdom offers players a ton of freedom in how they want to approach any particular situation, players are coming up with a ton of funny inventions. Alongside weird-looking carts or tanks that spew fire in all directions, people are also creating some useful devices like a boat that automatically kills any fish it touches with an electric field.
But sometimes in a game that offers this amount of freedom you just want to fool around with the mechanics, and this is where the Korok videos come in. Koroks are friendly creatures of the forest that you can encounter after solving various puzzles or uncovering them from hiding.
A new line of mini-puzzles has you encounter a Korok that will ask you to reunite him with his friend, which will generally be some distance away, usually over a body of water or some other obstacle. All of them seem exhausted and are attached to a piece of wood. This means that with the help of the Ultrahand, you can attach them to any manner of contraption in order to bring them back to their friend. And this is where human nature took its course, with countless videos like the ones below of people finding inventive ways to basically torture these adorable critters.
Even though they’re just an amalgamation of pixels, I can’t condone these actions myself, since I feel the need to apologize whenever I accidentally smack a Korok in the head with a rock. But I do admit that some of them are hilarious, with a pinch of cruelty.
It seems like Korok torture is legal in Hyrule
