Flamethrowing dick in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

In Tears of the Kingdom, Link has received new abilities that allow him to construct objects that can be used for traversal or even as weapons. The developers have stated that players would be surprised with what they can do once they “master their imagination.” However, one player has taken this statement too literally.

As spotted by Kotaku, an unknown user posted a short video of his outrageous creation on Imgur. The video shows a large construct that looks like a stick figure. There is a weird looking contraption near the man’s genital area, and you guessed it, with the shape similar to a penis and testicles. Furthermore, once Link shoots an arrow at the contraption, the canon in the middle starts shooting out flames and there you have it, a dick that doubles as a Flamethrower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
