Tears of the Kingdom player may have ended search for the game’s longest object
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom community has been busy searching for the game’s longest building materials and constructing the lengthiest builds possible. At the moment, the longest object that can be used for constructing things in Tears of the Kingdom seems to be a seesaw that is located in a certain shrine.
The continued search for Tears of the Kingdom’s longest object has brought forward many lengthy nominations, such as the stone slabs found in the Kimayat Shrine. Japanese player @saiotoko002 demonstrated the potential of these slabs with a massive build (seen below) that links 21 of them together, reaching a total length that he estimates to be double the height of a Skyview Tower. The build is so big, it can bridge several islands.
But users noticed even more potential for length, urging the user to attach the stone slabs by their vertices rather than their edges. By implementing this, he was able to build a construction 1.4x longer.
Meanwhile, the HyruleEngineering community on Reddit has also been trying to discover Tears of the Kingdom’s longest object. Apart from the Kimayat Shrine stone slabs, users have pointed out other objects of formidable length, such as the tall Pine trees of the Akkala region, the wire meshes found in the Makasura and Ihen-a shrines, and the rail from Marakuguc shrine.
However, X user @zakuya_botw seems to have discovered the longest object to date – a seesaw-shaped panel from the Rotsumamu Shrine. In the video below, they provide evidence that the seesaw is indeed longer than the Kimayat shrine slabs.
There is a catch though, as the seesaw can only be detached and taken by using a certain glitch. Also, as it’s not an object that was originally intended to be removed, it slips through the ground when on its own, so in order to make a build from it, you would need to make use of other objects too.
Funnily enough, the Zelda community’s pursuit of “great lengths” has been going on ever since Tears of the Kingdom first released in May last year, and it’s interesting to see how much collective knowledge has increased in the meantime (as well as how builds have become increasingly extreme and bizarre).
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
