Crafty Tears of the Kingdom engineer uses dragon Dinraal as barbecue grill

Sometimes the most ingenious inventions are the simplest. As countless Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players construct elaborate devices using multiple Zonai parts and a great deal of thought, one intrepid player has done something a lot more simple: glued some gratings to the dragon Dinraal's horns and used the legendary creature's innate heat to grill some meat.

The simpleness of the construct belies the effort we can perceive in getting it just right, what with having to find four grates of that particular shape and utilizing Autobuild in just the right spot to latch them around Dinraal's horns. But the end result is just so funny – and efficient, if all you’re looking to do is grill some ingredients. Proof that we don't need mechanical engineering degrees to come up with something ingenious.
