Updated by Devin Amlen on August 10, 2025:This guide has been updated to feature a new section detailing the pros and cons of using Mineru’s Construct as a mode of transportation, as well as changing in-article links to be more relevant to the subject matter.
Controlling Mineru’s Construct
Mineru, like the other Sages, has a Sage Power that can be activated by approaching her Construct and pressing A. In this case, you can mount the Construct and control it directly. Mineru’s Construct is large,bulky, and a bit of an easy target; you can still be hit by enemy attacks, and you’ll still take damage, sobe aware of your surroundingswhile controlling Mineru’s Construct.
While walking around, you’llconsume battery power, though it will recharge when standing still. You can press the L and R buttons to make the Construct punch, which knocks enemies down and sends them flying. She can alsoguard, and by extensionparry. However, Mineru is much larger and slower than Link and thus is a much easier target, so be careful if you decide to control her in battle. Because of Mineru’s large size, you may not notice an enemy sneak up on you and get a hit in.
Travel Options
Mineru’s Construct provides an extra form of mount for Link, with the others being Zonai contraptions and animals like horses. While Mineru’s Construct can certainly be one of the most heavy-hitting with its powerful attacks and Fusion capability, she’s not very fast, and it’s often better to just travel with a Zonai contraption or by horse. On top of this, Mineru’s larger hit-box makes it easier to get hit by attacks by archers or ranged enemies like Octoroks. Of course, attaching a Fan to Mineru’s back can help alleviate issues with speed, allowing her to travel faster on land. Also, a bonus that Mineru’s Construct provides isimmunity to lava and gloom; Mineru can simply wade through hazardous lava, mud, and gloom without worry.
The Power Of Fusion
Mineru’s Construct hasthree slotswith which to equip items via theFuse ability. You can equip materials, weapons (only un-fused weapons are eligible for fusion), andZonai Devicesfor a variety of uses. While Mineru’s Construct packs a punch by itself, it’s only by making use of Fuse that its true power is brought forth. Weapons and enemy drops can be equipped to boost the Construct’s damage, or you canequip a Cannonand use it as an explosive projectile attack.
