One talentedThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer is turning heads with an updated Batmobile design that would make the Dark Knight himself proud.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomtook the gaming world by storm when it finally launched on the Nintendo Switch back in May, and part of that stems fromLink’s new crafting abilitiesthat allow the hero of Hyrule to build pretty much anything the player controlling him can dream up.
This includes handy vehicles that can carry Link acrossTears of the Kingdom’s vast and colorful open world, and naturally, some players have drawn inspiration from popular movie and video game franchises outside of Nintendo’s umbrella. Examples include a speedy Podracer straight out ofStar Wars Episode 1: Racerand a ridable mech that could easily be part of theAutobot army ofTransformersfame. OneTears of the Kingdomplayer even rebuilt the Tumbler Batmobile fromThe Dark Knight Trilogy, and now another is showing off their own Gotham-inspired ride.

Earlier this week, Reddit user Wild_Relation3742 posted a video of their Hylian take on the legendary Batmobile to r/tearsofthekingdom. Unlike the previously mentioned Tumbler, this Batmobile is a more traditional design that features a closing canopy and rocket-powered engine - which as some fans in the comment section of Wild_Relation3742’s post note doesn’t seem to drain batteries as quickly as one would expect. Others have pointed out how appropriate it is forLink to drive his newly built Batmobileout of a cave like the Caped Crusader and have posted their own versions of the original video with music pulled from the 1989Batmanmovie andBatman: The Animated Series.
Batmobiles and Podracers are just some of the many different vehicles and contraptions that players have been able to create inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomusingLink’s versatile new Fuse and Ultrahand powers. Some more stationary players have constructed giant skateboard ramps and amusement park rides for Link to enjoy when he isn’t busy saving Hyrule, while the more mischievous of the game’s large fanbase is instead building torture devices with which to inflict untold cruelty on hapless Koroks.
While Batman wouldn’t approve of the lattermost activity, seeing the Dark Knight’s legendary vehicle brought to life inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis certainly a treat for shared fans of Nintendo and DC Comics. Given that both Link and Batman often rely on gadgets and strategy to defeat their enemies and save the day, it seems all too fitting for Hyrule’s champion to ride in a vehicle inspired by Gotham City’s greatest defender as he charges into battle against the evil Ganondorf.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available now for Nintendo Switch.
