Mineru's Construct is an Object in Tears of the Kingdom.

Location and Uses

Mineru's Construct is a Crafter Construct that Mineru uses as a replacement body in order to help fight against Demon King Ganondorf. Upon finding the Zonai Relic on Dragonhead Island, Mineru asks Link to bring it to the Construct Factory in the Depths through the Tobio's Hollow Chasm. There, the Zonai Relic will become the head of the Construct, and Link must retrieve four limbs for it at each of the Construct Factory's depots.

After successfully assembling all of its component parts, Link can pilot Mineru's Construct by riding upon its shoulders. By doing so, Link can Fuse various Objects and Items onto its arms and back. Objects Fused onto its arms can augment its offensive capabilities while those placed on its back can alter how the Construct moves. Certain Zonai Device as well as simply having the Construct walk will use the Energy Cell when Link is riding the Construct, but not if Mineru is operating it on her own. The Construct also can traverse Gloom without being afflicted. While attaching a Bow to the Construct has no effect, Link himself can still fire them as normal while riding it.

When Link assembles the pieces to Mineru's Construct, she guides him to the Spirit Temple where her Secret Stone awaits. However, upon entering the Spirit Temple, the two find the Seized Construct corrupted by Ganondorf's Magic blocking their way. Link must fight this Seized Construct while riding Mineru's Construct in order to gain access to Mineru's Secret Stone and reawaken her as the Sage of Spirit. Once Mineru regains her Secret Stone, she will remain inside the Spirit Temple with her Construct to maintain, with the Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit allowing Link to use her Secret Stone and its connection to his Right Arm to warp the construct to him. Unlike the other Sage Avatars, Mineru's Construct materializes using the same type of warping as the Purah Pad, and if Link teleports while riding it, it will dematerialize with him in the same manner.

If Link provides four Sage's Wills to a Goddess Statue, he can upgrade the Vow of Mineru to the Solemn Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit, which enhances the Construct's attack power. Additionally, if Link wears the Zonaite Helm, Mineru's Construct will gain a similar headdress and its eyes will grow green, similarly increasing its attack powers. These two enhancements can stack.

Weapon and Fuse functionality

Mineru's Construct's arms effectively function as Two-Handed Weapons, with its back part technically being a Shield with certain more specific functionality. Mineru's arms deal 27 damage at base, 40 damage if Link has upgraded her vow OR is wearing the Zonaite Helm, and 53 damage if both are in effect. Status Effect applied to Link do not affect Mineru's damage output.

Most Items function the same attached to Mineru's Construct as Fused to a weapon normally. (Similarly, weapons or shields which have already been Fused cannot be attached.) Due to being classified as Two-Handed Weapons, the damage of Fused attachments displayed in the Inventory is actually 95% of its true additional damage.

Zonai Devices

Different Zonai Devices provide unique functionality when equipped to the Construct's arms or back.

Zonai Devices	Fan
Arm Attachment Effect	Blows a stream of wind which can be aimed with a reticle.
Back Part Attachment Effect	Boosts Mineru forward at a higher speed.
Zonai Devices	Rocket
Arm Attachment Effect	Fires as a projectile.
Back Part Attachment Effect	Boosts Mineru upward.
Zonai Devices	Wing
Arm Attachment Effect	Blows gusts of wind (normal Fuse functionality).
Back Part Attachment Effect	Allows the construct to glide in the air, and can catch Updrafts like the Paraglider.
Zonai Devices	Hover Stone
Arm Attachment Effect	None
Back Part Attachment Effect	Can slow the construct's descent in the air, with mildly limited mobility.
Zonai Devices	Balloon
Arm Attachment Effect	Bouncy (normal Fuse functionality).
Back Part Attachment Effect	Extends upright and lights a flame under. This cannot lift the construct off the ground nor catch updrafts like the Wing, but can slow its descent in the air (with extremely limited mobility).
Zonai Devices	Flame EmitterFrost EmitterShock EmitterBeam EmitterHydrantCannonLight
Arm Attachment Effect	Shoots/emits as normal, and can be aimed with a reticle. Can still damage Link where applicable.
Back Part Attachment Effect	Shoots/emits as normal, behind the construct. Can still damage Link where applicable.
Zonai Devices	Time Bomb
Arm Attachment Effect	Arm swings as normal, but the bomb still sets off when struck.
Back Part Attachment Effect	No functionality, but the bomb still sets off when struck.

Durability

Mineru's Construct's arms cannot run out of Durability, but Durability is consumed differently from normal for objects Fused to her Construct.

• Weapons use their base Durability, but it is capped at 15.
• Shields, Bows and other Objects depend on their material:
  • Wooden objects last 5 hits
  • Stone or stone-like objects last 10 hits
  • Metal objects last 15 hits
• Materials also can varyL
  • "Fragile" materials, e.g. a Bird Egg, only last one hit.
  • "Soft" materials, e.g. most ingredients, last 5 hits.
  • "Hard" materials, e.g. Monster Horns, last 10 hits.
• Zonai Devices last for 2000 frames (66.6 seconds at 30 frames per second).
  • Hitting something with a Zonai Device will decrease its remaining frames by 200. This effectively gives them 10 hits if not otherwise used.

Trivia

• In the Japanese version of the game, Mineru's Construct is described as a yorishiro (依り代), a term from Shinto belief for objects used to house the spirits of kami.
