Someone Built A Working Engine In The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
By now you've probably seen hundreds of creations from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. From extra-long log bridges to outrageous flame-throwing penises, the Ultrahand ability gives you the ability not only to break the game, but also to break your own imagination.

Usually it's the Steering Stick that puts Link in charge, controlling the respective creation, seemingly by magic. But one player has created a textbook complex machine – a combination of two or more simple machines. Liz_Caingcoy on Twitter has stuck to this definition by essentially creating a perpetual-motion engine in Tears of the Kingdom, kind of.
As you can see in the video, the engine is powered by a large Zonai wheel – one that moves on its own when struck. This wheel is stuck to a standing wooden board to create the first simple machine. Using three small wheels, one long wooden log, and a perpendicular wooden plank, they have essentially created what could be considered a piston – the second simple machine – thus completing the definition of a complex machine.
The piston goes into a rectangular wooden frame, which acts as an engine's cylinder would. All of this is held together by a common base at the bottom. However, what is a machine if it has no practical use? Liz has demonstrated how this
