Summary
An avidLegend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer has taken mob farming to another level by constructing a combat drone that managed to delete a Silver Bokoblin patrol within seconds. The footage of their deadly aircraft was shared on social media shortly just days after a differentTears of the Kingdomplayer showcased their own Silver Bokoblin killing machine.
While the newZeldagame builds on its predecessor’s combat system with the addition of Fuse mechanics allowing players to combine weapons into more potent armaments, the optimal way of dealing with themost annoying enemies inTears of the Kingdomis to avoid direct engagements altogether. Instead of trading blows with the game’s many deadly creatures, the most resource-efficient approach to combat tends to revolve around elaborate war machines that can handle mobs all on their own.

In yet another testament to the effectiveness of that strategy, Reddit user Terror_from_the_deep devised a devastating drone that wiped out a deadly patrol consisting of five Silver Bokoblins led by a Silver Boss Bokoblin in exactly 19 seconds. Their impressive contraption primarily relies on some half a dozen Zonai Beam Emitters for pushing through damage, which is a popular setup among the game’s fandom that has so far featured in many a menacing war machine, including an imposingpulse emitter for deleting Lynels inTears of the Kingdom.
However, what makes this design stand out from the averageTears of the Kingdomattack drone is the fact that it also drops a Zonai Homing Cart that stun-locks enemies with its combination of Frost and Shock Emitters. The two modules are connected with a normal Chuchu Jelly, which transforms into a Yellow Chuchu Jelly once the device is powered on, decoupling the ground unit from its airborne counterpart in the process once the former is repositioned with Link’s Ultrahand ability.
Given how the Silver variants of Bokoblins and Boss Bokoblins have 720 and 1,200 HP, respectively, this modular contraption should also be capable of dealing with any other type ofTears of the Kingdom’sground enemies. For context, the most menacing members of that lot are Silver Lynels, which have 5,000 HP. But while that extra bulk will inherently lead to longer kill times, the end result should still be the same thanks to the two-part drone’s stun-locking capabilities. And if all else fails, there’s always the option ofbuilding a dedicated Lynel-farming machine inTears of the Kingdom.
