Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Creates Incredible Super Mario Galaxy-Inspired Video

A recent online video cleverly transforms The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom into Super Mario Galaxy. Released in May 2023, Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild, is the latest in Nintendo's acclaimed Zelda series. Its quality, like its predecessor's, is often compared to other Nintendo hits, including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and various Super Mario titles. A skilled gamer has highlighted the surprising similarities between Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Galaxy.

Reddit user Ultrababouin's video, "Super Zelda Galaxy," cleverly incorporates elements from the 2007 Wii classic Super Mario Galaxy, a game praised for its narrative. The edit recreates iconic scenes, such as the opening sequence where Mario awakens to encounter a Luma. This nostalgic tribute resonated with many community members.

Ultrababouin shared their month-long project on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, a community showcasing Tears of the Kingdom creations. The video was an entry in June's design contest. Ultrababouin, a prolific builder (previously recognized as Engineer of the Month in December and February), has also crafted a Tears of the Kingdom version of the Master Cycle Zero (from Breath of the Wild) and other impressive builds.

While the Master Cycle Zero isn't in Tears of the Kingdom, the game's new build system allows for incredible vehicle and machine construction. This has led to impressive creations, including an aircraft carrier capable of launching a functional bomber, built by Hyrule Engineering member ryt1314059.

The next Zelda game, Echoes of Wisdom, launches September 26th. A departure from tradition, this installment features Princess Zelda as the protagonist, instead of Link.
