If you’re needing some help coming up with some cool ideas for creations in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, someone built a website for just that.
One of the most surprising new abilities that Link now has in Tears of the Kingdom is Ultrahand. Put quite simply, with it you can build just about anything that you can imagine. Seriously, people have already made a whole variety of creations (as well as some pretty obscene ones). But for the average player, such big ideas might be a little bit intimidating, especially if you don’t have a reference point. Thankfully, one player has set up a whole website fully dedicated to sharing your builds, and everything it took to make them.
Reddit user akrewhq shared the website they built, zeldabuilds.gg, on the Tears of the Kingdom subreddit, proving to be a very popular post. If you head on the site you’ll only find a handful of creations at this point in time, all of them presumably created by the creator of the site, though it is possible to make your own account. The site has a few creations you might have seen around the internet, like Gumby!
ARM is reportedly building its own chip. According to the Financial Times, the company has tasked its newly formed “solutions engineering” team, led by former Qualcomm executive and Snapdragon designer Kevork Kechichian, with producing a semiconductor to showcase the capabilities of its products. ARM’s apparent goal with the project is to attract new customers ahead of its highly anticipated initial public offering later this year.
The Times reports the company began work on the prototype about six months ago. Multiple industry executives told the outlet the resulting design is “more advanced” than any semiconductor produced in the past. The fact numerous sources outside of ARM spoke to The Times about the in-house chip would suggest the prototype is something of an open secret within the chip industry.
ARM declined to comment. According to The Times, the firm does not plan to sell or license the design of the prototype to other companies. That’s easy to believe. It would be out of character for ARM to do otherwise. The company’s business model is built around licensing its architecture to other firms. More than 500 companies, including Apple, MediaTek and Qualcomm, employ ARM-designed components in their semiconductors.
There are parts of the market where ARM could make inroads. With PCs, for instance, ARM components are rare outside of recent Mac computers. As The Times notes, the company last week warned investors of a “significant concentration” risk to its business. In 2022, ARM’s 20 most important customers accounted for 86 percent of its revenues. “The loss of a small number of key customers could significantly impact the group’s growth,” the firm told analysts.
Separately, the project could be a good thing for consumers. According to The Times, ARM’s solutions engineering team is also working on improving the performance and security of the company’s designs. That work will likely trickle down to the devices you use daily.

Rod Humble has his son to thank for his upcoming life sim Life By You. After finishing up work on two successful mobile games around four years ago, Humble was itching for something new. But he wasn’t quite sure what. “I was in the kitchen talking to my son about, ‘Oh, what should I do? I don’t know what opportunities there are,’ and he was like, ‘Why don’t you just pick the company you want to work at and ask them?'” And as a life-long Crusader Kings player, the answer was clear. “Okay!?” Humble says incredulously. “I can do that, I guess. So I did. I wrote to [PR manager] Troy [Goodfellow], and he knew Fred [Wester, CEO], and that was it. It was two weeks later and I met him in San Francisco and said, hey, I’d like to start a studio, and here’s the way I’d like to run it. And he was like, sure, let’s go for it.”
So began Humble’s journey to creating Life By You, his upcoming life simulator that’s set to give his former pet project, The Sims, a run for its money. With The Sims 5, or Project Rene as it’s currently known, still some way off, Life By You seems poised to finally give life sim fans the game they’ve always wanted. “I wanted to make an open world life simulator where the core tenant was freedom,” says Humble. “Where players could freely play and tell their stories with minimal friction.” And what was standing in the way of that freedom? Loading screens, says Humble.
