Tears of the Kingdom gamers have made the sport right into a Korok torture chamber

Tears of the Kingdom has been out over a weekend, and y’all, it’s getting grim on the market. Whereas I anticipated gamers to get wild and bizarre with their creations and was completely delighted to see that it solely took about 24 hours earlier than the primary flame-spouting phallus hit my timeline, gamers’ creations have taken a decidedly sudden and regarding darkish flip.

It’s in regards to the Koroks, you see.

As in Breath of the Wild, the twee forest spirits litter the land in distant locations and in odd configurations. Raise a conspicuously positioned boulder right here or chase a shifting leaf there to disclose a cheerful little creature who’s delighted that you just took the time to play its cute little sport of conceal and search. You’re additionally rewarded to your time and cleverness with a Korok seed that you would be able to flip in to extend your weapon stock. However on this sport, there are extra quests you’ll be able to full whereby you reunite Koroks, burdened with cumbersome backpacks, who’ve gotten separated from their buddies.

The challenges make use of TotK’s new powers permitting you to craft planes, trains, and cars to assist the beleaguered vacationers get from level A to level B. However some gamers don’t wish to assist the Koroks, selecting as an alternative to, nicely…

Search “korok” on TikTok and also you’ll get numerous movies of gamers killing these small, helpless creatures. A few of these situations of horrific abuse are accidents, after all, the Koroks falling sufferer to the precocious whims of physics and person error.

However deliberately abusing Koroks has morphed into its personal emergent exercise in Tears of the Kingdom, with gamers outdoing themselves to craft probably the most heinous torture contraptions. I’ve seen horrors past comprehension. I’ve seen them burned, blasted, dragged, and crucified.

Fortunately, being immortal, good-natured spirits, Koroks can not actually be killed. In the event you yeet them off into an abyss, they pop proper again to the closest stable floor. And so they appear to really feel no ache, spouting tender “Oofs” and “I have to get to my buddy!” whenever you roast them alive. Nonetheless, these are Koroks, you monsters! They’re child! They don’t know something, they usually’ve by no means harm anybody! Perhaps Ganon has some extent. Perhaps we should always hear him out. As a result of I’ve seen the face of evil, and it’s not not him.
