I undertook a quest to build a computer in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and this video documents the process. We'll introduce digital logic and its applications to computer engineering and we'll learn how to create a binary adder circuit, whether it's with electronics or rolling balls. The video ends by demonstrating a 2-bit full adder within the game.
