A creative Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fan has brought the game's Zonai Batteries to life using a 3D printer, producing stunningly detailed replicas. Tears of the Kingdom introduced several new mechanics to the Zelda franchise, with the Zonai Batteries playing a pivotal role in powering player creations without draining Energy Cells. These batteries enable players to build and operate autonomous vehicles, enhancing the game's inventive Ultrahand system.

Reddit user windraver shared their impressive real-life Zonai Batteries on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit. The photos highlight the intricate details of the 3D-printed replicas, including precise markings at the base and a custom holster for carrying the batteries. Windraver was motivated to create the physical version after being disappointed with the paper props that came with a Tears of the Kingdom Link Halloween costume. The creator also provided a link to the 3D models on Thingiverse for others interested in replicating the project.




Fans on Reddit were quick to praise the craftsmanship, with some offering suggestions for further enhancements, like swapping the green LED lights inside for blue ones to indicate a fully charged battery. Windraver also shared insights into the printing process, including the types of filament used and a timelapse video of the project.

This impressive fan creation arrives as the Zelda franchise continues to expand, with the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom in September. Featuring Princess Zelda as the protagonist, the game introduces a new "Echo" system, offering fresh gameplay mechanics. Despite the spotlight now on Echoes of Wisdom, Tears of the Kingdom remains a significant milestone in the series, inspiring fans to recreate its unique elements in the real world.
