The creativity in action is a priceless spectacle, especially when the setting is video games. I have been “playing to kill Martians” for almost 30 years, as more than one grandmother would say, and I have come to the conclusion that a common denominator of a good number of successful video games is the freedom to solve problems.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom has been on our Nintendo Switch. Although it maintains the essence of Breath of the Wild, the creative section has skyrocketed to stratospheric levels. This is a creative video game at the level of legends like LittleBigPlanet and Dreams.
And I’m not just talking about your systems construction and combination of objects (also), but of the design of many of its challenges… whether they are puzzles or confrontations with all kinds of enemies. Contrary to many video games that have a single solution, Tears Of The Kingdom allows us to solve the matter with very few restrictions. And this has given us authentic wonders in social networks.
Don’t look for a solution, make your own
The first protagonists of this story are the speedrunnerswho have not taken a week to find the limits to Tears Of The Kingdom to find ways to make certain things easier. Youtube channel TotK – Glitch Archive It currently has eight videos that show some tricks.
The user k3vinvn de TikTok has become the main representative of this publication. “They may question my methods, but not my results.“, he says in a video in which he shows how he overcomes the puzzle of a temple in his own way. And it is completely true: no matter how he did it, the point is that has made it.

The user jackie chen de Twitter join our list of creative solutions with a very simple strategy and with the following message “I pride myself on creative solutions“. May no one ever tell you that there are no solutions and beauty in simplicity! A hook and the power of gravity.
Right now I am asking myself the same question that the user is asking asty de TikTok after solving a puzzle of a temple in a somewhat… rushed way. I’m sure Nintendo didn’t think so. I am so sure that I would gamble a dinner with any of you.
@___asty___ Solving problems Tony Hawk style! 🤙 #zeldatearsofthekingdom #thelegendofzelda #The Legend of Zelda #The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom #tonyhawk #zelda #tearsofthekingdom #fyp
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the user Jamper de Twitter has solved the same puzzle as asty in a similar way, but with much more style. This is exactly what I told you at the beginning of the publication: creativity in action is a priceless spectacle. “I MAKE MY OWN SOLUTIONS!!!“, he says in the tweet.
I need your help because the case of snowleopard739 a TikTok It has me completely unhinged: did Nintendo really expect us to resolve it like this or was this a true gamer lightening moment? It is not clear to me, what is certain is that we are facing a true strategist.
@snowleopard739 If it works it works 🤷♀️#tearsofthekingdom #legendofzelda #linklegendofzelda #tearsofthekingdomlink #windtemple
The user Blorbofication beam de Twitter it is very clear: “There are Nintendo’s solutions and then there are mine“. Although his solution is not the most spectacular in the world, the final result could not be more practical and simple. Two sticks hooked at an angle to overcome an obstacle and reach the chest.
The mentality of LeeHatake93 de Twitter also stands for this post: “Simple problems require simple solutions“. Many players have broken their horns looking for a way to reach the end without dying in the lava. This video shows that sometimes simple is much better than complex.
And we finish the culmination of simplicity. Never has a puzzle been solved with such speed and ease as CyclopsDragon de Twitter. He walks in, he looks at the scene and decides that Nintendo has gone to too much trouble because it has found an easier way: “modern problems, old solutions“, he says. And it’s true…
Social networks are full of curious and creative users who are making their way into Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom by creativity. You can choose the path of looking at the solution on the internet or you can choose the path of creativity. Both are equally respectable… but let’s admit that the latter is infinitely more fun.
