In Twitter DMs with Kotaku, Luu said he created ZeldaBuilds.gg over a few days, explaining that the hardest part about the whole thing was getting the site in front of people. Within a few days, though, folks began to take notice of it.

“The site has been gaining a bit of popularity,” Luu said. “I posted it on Reddit and [have] been implementing suggestions from there. I’ll keep improving the site and hopefully more people will [check it out]!”

One way he hopes to get more eyes on the site is by bringing in new features. In one example of the many planned updates, Luu implemented the ability to add step-by-step build instructions with images to go along with them on May 16.

“I’m always taking suggestions from the community,” Luu said. “A few features on deck are adding your own YouTube video preview and a map of Zonai Dispeners and what devices you get from them.”

Of course, Luu is also playing Tears of the Kingdom right now. He’s “built some pretty basic creations,” like the first few on ZeldaBuilds.gg to get the site going, but he isn’t far enough in the game to have the good stuff yet. The real inspo for Luu making the site, though, is everyone else’s creativity.

“I love building games and the creativity they spark in people,” Luu said. “I wanted a central place where I could see everyone’s amazing creations and learn how they made them! It’s actually incredible how Nintendo was able to not only meet but far exceed everyone’s expectations. It’s pretty much all I’ve been playing in my free time.”

I can imagine this site becoming a useful tool when traipsing through Hyrule Kingdom. There’s a lot the game doesn’t tell you, particularly when it comes to constructing things with Link’s new abilities. So, having something like Zeldabuilds.gg on the side will absolutely aid in the fight against hot Ganon.
