Are you there, Nintendo?

It’s me, Edwin.

Thanks very much for developingZelda: Tears of the Kingdom- I’ve been having a blast.

Link trying to build a flying house from Zonai platforms in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and getting confused about which bit goes where.

I have a confession, though, Nintendo.

When I wrote inEurogamer’s reviewthat the Great Sky Island was my favourite sky island, I was lying.

It’s really this one a little to the south of Great Sky Island, directly over Popla foothills.

Me, though, I call it home.

Or at least, I’m trying to.

Ultrahand can be used to craft many things, but it’s primarily a vehicle editor.

Lately, though, I’ve been trying to build houses with it.

Besides which, each bespoke house component costs an absolute kaboodle.

I quite like the circular green motifs, too.

It’s very - I want to say, “Neo-Gaelic”?

I guess there’s always Recall if I lose my grip.

I’ve barely spent any time in Gerudo Town.

Well, let’s chuck them in the corner for the moment.

I wonder what I can use for a bed.

I’ve added some Korok frond dusters to form a sort of avant garde hedge.

And now, the rub: I have no way of preserving any of this.

So many possible creations, all of them fleeting.

Still, there’s time for a bit more home improvement before I say goodbye.

Or even a beacon, for Rito aviators blown off course!

Or wait, how about my very own private glider launching facility?

I’ve got a few glider frames spare.
