However, one player chose to craft something different and discovered a method that players can use to make music.RELATED:Incredible Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Fan Art Draws Inspiration From AkiraOn Twitter, a user named bran8bit used a series of Zonai devices and four Beam Emitters to create a rotating music player. The beams then hit a bunch of Stakes that were placed in a pattern that corresponded to a circle on the ground. InTears of the Kingdom,when Stakes are hit by beamsor other objects, they make a sound that can change depending on the angle that the Stakes are struck. This was proven in another video by a Twitter user named maxotunes, who was quote-tweeted by bran8bit in their video. However, bran8bit discovered that the Stake’s sound can change octaves when two Stakes are attached to each other in different ways, with different combinations creating different notes and octaves than before.
As a result, bran8bit posted a 21-second video of their Tears of the Kingdom music player in action. For their first song, bran8bit chose to go with"Megalovania" from 2015’sUndertale. However, for the sake of demonstration, bran8bit only played the first two seconds of “Megalovania” on a loop. The video was seen over 15 million times in the span of a day. In the replies, other Twitter users praised bran8bit for their discovery and wondered what songs they could create inTears of the Kingdomwith this method.
WithUltrahand at their disposal,Tears of the Kingdomplayers have let their imaginations run wild. While only a few octaves were demonstrated by bran8bit, it remains to be seen what other notes and compositions players will create and discover.
