Many fans of the Zelda franchise were understandably excited about the release of Tears of the Kingdom after the incredible success of Breath of Wild, but one feature that brought the game to a new level was the game's building mechanics. Since the game's launch back in May, there have been new and incredible creations that Tears of the Kingdom players have brought to life, demonstrating just how complex and detailed the building mechanics can be.

A Reddit user who goes by the moniker _McLean_ has made their version of a Republic Gunship that many Star Wars fans will instantly recognize. From the wings to the overall shape of the ship's body, _McLean_ nailed the execution of this build. There have been some wild flying machines built in Tears of the Kingdom, but this unexpected crossover between Zelda and Star Wars is surprisingly functional.

Not only does the Gunship look cool, but it's also an incredibly useful weapon. As demonstrated in the video the creator posted to Reddit, this Gunship build is a very efficient way to kill groups of enemies quickly. _McLean_ is able to hover over enemy camps at a height that's far off to evade rocks and arrows while firing relentlessly from above. There have been several Star Wars-inspired creations that players have made in Tears of the Kingdom, and it's amazing to see just how functional this one is.

When it comes to the success of Tears of the Kingdom, some fans were probably not expecting a well-crafted building mechanic to take over the game's community so quickly. It's been incredible to see how fast players have picked up on the feature to make so many amazing and complicated creations. This entry into the Zelda franchise has offered players a surprising outlet to flex their creativity muscles and engineering skills to play a Zelda game in a way that many didn't expect.
