Stakes can be driven into spots like the ground or walls where you can\u2019t attach objects using Ultrahand. Once implanted, Stakes will stay firmly in place, so they make a good foundation for building other things. On the other hand, they are now gaining attention for their applications as \u201cinstruments.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">lasers n stakes will actually produce a pitch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TearsOfTheKingdom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TearsOfTheKingdom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yTeTvR40Bu\">pic.twitter.com\/yTeTvR40Bu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Maxo (@maxotunes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maxotunes\/status\/1667268850348621825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The above tweet, posted on June 10, shows a discovery made by Twitter user\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maxotunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@maxotunes<\/a>. When an attack such as the laser from a Beam Emitter Zonai Device hits a Stake, it will produce a pitch that differs depending on the state of the Stake. A shorter Stake will produce a higher pitched sound, while a longer Stake produces a lower pitch. Later that same day, another user was able to take the new discovery one step further. As you can see in the tweet below, attaching Stakes together can create an even wider range of pitches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">just discovered you can create a wider range of pitches by attaching stakes to one another \ud83e\udd2f<br>new DAW just dropped <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PfmVIail5A\">https:\/\/t.co\/PfmVIail5A<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BvVytBNCc3\">pic.twitter.com\/BvVytBNCc3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; bran (@bran8bit) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bran8bit\/status\/1667539615413334017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This user combined Beam Emitters and a Big Wheel to construct a device that automatically plays a portion of a song from the game Undertale. He uses Stakes of varying length as well as Stakes that have been attached to one another to produce the different pitches that are required. The tempo of the melody can also be controlled by adjusting the distance between the Stakes. The device is designed so that the melody will loop continuously provided you have enough Energy. Although it looks very flashy with its Beam Emitters, it actually produces quite a delicate sound. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players from all over the world have begun making their own Beam Emitter and Stake \u201cmusic boxes\u201d and have shared the melodies that they produced. For example, one Reddit user recreated part of a song from the soundtrack to the anime Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tearsofthekingdom\/comments\/146z87o\/oc_stakes_and_lasers_make_some_pretty_bizarre\/\">[OC] Stakes and lasers make some pretty Bizarre music<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/peter_please_answer\/\">u\/peter_please_answer<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tearsofthekingdom\/\">tearsofthekingdom<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also players who recreated songs from past titles in The Legend of Zelda series.
