Tears of the Kingdomplayers have used its sandbox to complete elaborate puzzles in completely unique, mind-boggling ways, while ushering in the industrial revolution,torturing Koroks with Saw-like traps, and devising electric-powered vehicles that never run out of energy. But aside from the practical and the… horrendous (sorry to every Korok out there), there’s the spectacle. Some players have found ways to fashion rockets into fireworks, creating beautiful displays of fluttering lights in the night sky.
BloxBreak1000 took to the game’s subreddit to share a few of their inventions. Essentially, they attached materials to rockets and bombs and shot them into the air. Different consumables result in different explosions and colours, creating a diverse display of fireworks. One that stands out is Electric Cthulu Jelly, which explodes in a ball of yellow fire before raining sparks. Dazzlefruit meanwhile creates a brief glitter effect before fizzling out. And then there’s White Cthulu Jelly which has a striking split-second shot of blue lines shooting out in all directions.

In the comments, other players shared suggestions for how the OP could make their fireworks even more elaborate. “You can add a cool trail by putting a wheel and flame emitters,” nightengale95 commented. “I think attaching star fragments might make for an interesting look, since exploded star fragments leave a lingering burst of light for a while,” posturegeek said.
Unlike most TOTK builds players share, this is fairly simple to set up. Just stick a bomb to the top of a rocket with a few materials and shoot an arrow at the rocket–bingo, you have a firework.
However, like all things in TOTK, there’s a more elaborate version of this fairly basic design– the two-stage firework. Like the one embedded above, rockets propel materials into the sky and then blow them up to create a visual effect reminiscent of a firework, though this design has more rockets and more materials for a bigger explosion and a wider array of effects.
What stands out is that, shortly after, more explosives begin to fall with more materials, creating a second burst shortly after.
To pull this off, they house the second set of bombs in wooden boxes. Otherwise, all the explosives would go off at once. Once the build flies into the air and explodes, creating the first firework effect, the boxes open and drop three more bombs which, shortly after, detonate for a second wind.
The are no real practical applications to this (other than briefly lighting upthe depths) but it does make for a pretty compliment to the night sky. Maybe you can do this after you beatGanondorfto celebrate.
