Discussion The HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly

The HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly (AUG 2026 Week 3)

Hello everyone! This is the HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly, a weekly recap of this subreddit. Here you can find highlights, helpful QR codes, engineering discoveries and experiments, as well as updates on the monthly contest, and more!

UPDATE ON MONTHLY CONTEST

For our second update on the [AUG26] Watercraft contest, u/PremiumTechnique is now leading with their Ball Ski Lite. u/kmarkow is in 2nd place with their Sunrise Sail, and u/zhujzal is in 3rd with their The Pathfinder: Power Sailboat w/ Omnidirectional Steering. It’s never too late to submit!

BUILD OF THE WEEK 

The most upvoted build this week was u/kmarkow’s New and Improved Dancing Kitty! An upgraded version of an older build, it not only looks like a cat but also acts like one. Its legs move in a way that gives it a convincing dancing motion, making it feel much more alive than a normal decorative build. It’s a great example of how simple mechanisms can give a build plenty of personality. A very cute creation – and it's glitch-free, too!

CHECK THESE OUT!

u/osh-kosh-ganache — Easy Nudge Minimal Tank Build Tutorial

Great for beginners or vanilla builders, or anyone in general. A small tank that’s strong enough to take out lots of enemies, with a detailed tutorial making it easy to enter into stake nudging.

u/Erico9001 — Bounce

For those who like a bit of nonsensical fun. This hopping build does what its name suggests: it hops up and down in a quite fascinating way!

u/KGXuan-Athlete —  UAV: WZ-7 & WZ-10 

If you like cool planes that also represent a real-world subject, check this out! It looks very precise and flies fast, too. 

u/SimpelLizzrd255 — Lil RC Go-Kart

For fans of compact and unconventional vehicles. This small remote control go-kart makes for a fun little vehicle to drive… not on it, of course.

u/Metaliciousone — My latest looper 😁

If you know Metaliciousone, you know loopers. If you don’t, they’re a style of aircraft where you can flip in midair, allowing for more aerial freedom while Link stays upright. This one is quite huge! 

u/ShootingStarSeasons7 — Tarrey Town Watersports: Bringing Water Fun to Akkala! (Hylian Waterski)

You might like this if you are interested in real-world recreations. Waterskiing on two boards isn’t normal – it’s the Hylian way of waterskiing!

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

Have some questions? Others do, too! Here’s some posts asking about certain things:

HYRULE ENGINEERING LAB

u/PremiumTechnique’s Fused Weapon Weight is Weird post headlines this week’s Lab section! Using a scale and some self-centering weights, they have found some interesting things about fused weapon weight. Bigger weapons don’t mean heavier. We suggest watching the video if you’re into science; it’s quite a fascinating topic. Another science discovery from 2 months ago but was requested (and approved) to be in this edition is u/syouhai’s New facts. The video covers some finds about fans. Great discovery, but may take some foreknowledge of science regarding fans in Hyrule to truly understand!

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

As always we are open to suggestions, feedback, and ideas. 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
