While the hype surrounding Nintendo Labo appears to have faded as quickly as it came, there's no denying that it really is a fantastic piece of kit in the right hands. Showing off that fact wonderfully is this full recreation of a shrine from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Twitter user Green_Squid has shared a clip of their creation in action. Using Nintendo Labo's Garage feature, they've been able to make a fully-working and surprisingly accurate recreation of Breath of the Wild's Oman Au Shrine - the first one you encounter in the game.
As you can see, the design even incorporates Link's Magnesis ability, having the player lift particular objects to open new paths, grab a chest, and kill off enemies. If you're intrigued, here's how the real thing looks for comparison:
Sadly, Nintendo Labo doesn't offer players any way to share their creations online, so others won't be able to jump in and experience it for themselves. With all the success Dreams is having at the moment, it seems silly that Labo never included a similar sharing option. Ah well.
A truly amazing effort, though, we're sure you'll agree. And yes, this is making us want to play through Breath of the Wild yet again.

Incredible work. I love LABO, but haven't had the time to dig into the creative side. Much wow.
It's not quite Dreams but it's pretty cool
Its a shame that you cant share Labo (VR) creations online. That would boost the community and would result in incredible VR worlds, using VR elements in non-intended ways. Now, Dreams is the big thing, too sad.
Very impressive!
This is brilliant. Person has done incredible. If sharing was possible
That’s mad rad. Makes me consider picking up a Labo kit if they’re knocking around cheap, just for the Labo Garage.
SPOILERS!!!
...I should probably play through that Zelda game that I bought like 2 years ago and still haven't gotten around to. Also, this only makes me want to take the plunge on at least one LABO kit even more, though my kid is way too young and I'm way too lacking in the talent (or free time) to come up with something as amazing as this. Seriously, this is beautiful.
Very cool video, but what is this Magnesis stuff? It’s called Polaris.
@ryancraddock "Nintendo Labo appears to have faded as quickly as it came"
Well the same can be said for Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Pikmin 4, BotW 2, Nintendo hasn't really told us anything about anything except Animal Crossing and Pokemon the past few months.
Not saying for sure there is another Labo kit out there, just that even if there is we dont' know b/c Nintnedo has been so quiet. I'd like to see another VR kit, not LAbo but plastic. And aren't there potential Labo kits they have shown but still haven't released? I think schools and camps and clubs are still messing around w/ Labo so I wouldn't be surprised to see another one. Not in the Direct, thats' always a bummer, but as we get further into March or April for the summer. Preferably another $40 variety type kit, not an $80 1-shot robot.
So I wouldn't say it's faded, just hibernating for the winter, along w/ every other Switch game we've heard nothing about since the fall.
If I HAD to bet, I'd say we see 1 more Labo kit this year, and if not, something else physical like Ring or VR. That Ring game seems to have done fairly well, don't think they'll let that die. Nintendo gonna Nintendo.
That mini guardian did not deserve to die
@Euler is that some obscure reference, a joke, or some sort of language gatekeeping attempt?
Wished I had time to make cool stuff on it, and it be sharable. My Labo VR just kinda collects dust. This was an amazing creation.
Off topic, wished more games had Labo VR support... like Mario Kart 8. Also wished I could play Virtual Boy games on my Switch with the Labo headset... ah well.
That's pretty cool.
