A viral video cleverly reimagines Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as Super Mario Galaxy. Released in May 2023, Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to Breath of the Wild, has frequently been compared to other Nintendo heavyweights like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the Super Mario franchise. This fan-made video montage highlights these similarities.
Reddit user Ultrababouin's "Super Zelda Galaxy" video, posted on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, meticulously recreates aspects of the beloved 2007 Wii game Super Mario Galaxy. The edit, which took nearly a month to complete and was submitted to a June design contest, evokes nostalgia with its recreation of the iconic opening sequence, including Mario's awakening and encounter with a Luma.
Ultrababouin, a prolific builder with previous creations like a Tears of the Kingdom version of the Master Cycle Zero (a vehicle from Breath of the Wild), has earned "Engineer of the Month" honors twice. The video showcases the impressive building capabilities of Tears of the Kingdom, allowing players to construct vehicles and machines, as demonstrated by other community members, such as ryt1314059's functional aircraft carrier.
Looking ahead, the next Zelda game, Echoes of Wisdom, slated for release on September 26th, marks a significant departure. Instead of Link, the franchise's iconic princess will take center stage.
