The fully functional recreation of Godzilla, decked out in Flame and Laser Emitters to mimic the monster\u2019s attacks, was built from scratch in <strong>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the short clip, the creator has nailed many iconic aspects of the Godzilla films, including the monster\u2019s ominous plodding through the ocean, his distinctive roar and the dramatic camera angles emphasizing the monster\u2019s size. The video includes some tanks, which also appear to have been created using TotK\u2019s Build System, that engage in a futile battle with the giant reptile. Lending a foreboding tone to the video is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=555XNnyEGYc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Godzilla\u2019s Theme<\/a> from 1962\u2019s Godzilla Vs. King Kong by series composer Akira Ifukube. The impressive clip has prompted an awed response from X users- with people being stunned by how it looks like a real movie. Commenters praised not only the creator\u2019s skills but also the level of freedom and creative expression possible in Tears of the Kingdom.\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=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u795e\u4e8b<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%80%E3%81%AE%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30bc\u30eb\u30c0\u306e\u4f1d\u8aac<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TearsOfTheKingdom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TearsOfTheKingdom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Zelda?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Zelda<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%B4%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A9?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30b4\u30b8\u30e9<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cukf2fbCrq\">pic.twitter.com\/cukf2fbCrq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u9b54\u7269\u306e\u716e\u7269 (@sumoguri2323) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sumoguri2323\/status\/1727626043933213155?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 23, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since his debut feature in 1954, the giant prehistoric reptile has appeared in almost 40 movies, as well as numerous spinoffs in other media, and is perhaps the most well-known of Japan\u2019s fictional movie monsters (kaiju). A giant statue of him can be found in Tokyo\u2019s Shinjuku Ward and he has also been made a tourism ambassador and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-32987622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resident of the area<\/a>, despite destroying it on film several times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the TotK video, the mechanical Godzilla comes ashore in Lurelin Village to destroy some tanks and buildings with his spiral heat ray attack before plodding cinematically back through the ocean towards the rising sun. With this, the maker of the clip has also captured the lonely side of Godzilla, which makes some people sympathize with the lumbering monster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"381\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001.png 750w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001-600x305.png 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001-380x193.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23336-001-696x354.png 696w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Godzilla homage is yet another indication of how Tears of the Kingdom continues to inspire player creativity.
