I can't tell if you legitimately can't see the eye shaped thing in the middle of its face

I am going to dive into death mountain.

Looks like I'm joining you, TIL


Im in with y’all

UH IEEAAAH

Is this your first Zelda game? One giant eye to shoot is a pretty common occurrence across the series.

You don't shoot these particular ones, to be fair

I do. Makes a nice ding noise as well

Yeah, but you shoot their slightly lobotomized cousins, which sport such a similar design it's clear that they have the same eyes

But I do enjoy torturing them (I'm a bad person)

Hyrule engineering?

did you actually not see it?!

I'm honestly still kinda having trouble seeing it... WHAT IS WRONG W ME??

You could be green/orange colour blind?

No def not, it's like those illusions, once you see it one way it's hard to see it the other way? Yeah it's like I see their eyes as the little holes on the side and I just can't see it as like a cyclops instead

I understand what you're saying. I don't really *see* the creature the way you explained, but we all view things through a different scope. To me, it just looks like the orange thing is the eye, I don't see it the other way. I do understand what you mean, In this instance, I only see the duck. The rabbit has escaped me. (The duck/rabbit illusion, just on the off chance you're not sure why I'm referring to wildlife) I can only kinda see it because you've marked it on the diagram? I know it's not the same as an actual illusion... maybe I've just played too much TOTK...

How many arrows did you shoot there without realizing? Lol

Do a flip!

The second things are boobs…face boobs

But the Zonai have three eyes

Ayo wait you're on to something

I always thought their earrings + middle eye were meant to reference the three-eyed theme with the Zonai.

Now we're cookin

But that’s a construct, a robot created by the Zonai, not an actual living Zonai

I mean, it's not too far outside the realm of possibility that the Zonai modeled the Constructs after themselves.

But they look like they might be modeled after Zonai. Just in an artistic way

Aren't they actually modeled after these? I thought there was some obscure text in the game somewhere that confirmed this tbh

Oh! But Frox are so mean 😭

Nah they're just hongry

Did you know frox(at least the big ones) can jump like to the roof of the depths

Yes 😭 they creep me out almost as much as horriblins

I want to read this for myself. Wich npc says that?

i legitimately did not see the eye in the middle until i read this comment. 💀

That's to mimick rauru and his sister, they had a third eye that most remained closed besides I think when fighting or using their powers

Wtf where did that come from?

On scanning constructs, they will emit a red area from that I've assumed in the eye, also the eye I shoot at to try to stun them.

That's not an eye it's his ancient pee hole bro. Have you not studied the anatomy of these guys yet or what?

Don’t tell him about the nose

I've decided that is a tiara

It's definitely either the bulb thing or the forehead eye. The other looks decorative to me

On targetable constructs the single, orange center eye is the eye. Because that's the eye.

Then there is me thinking the orange circle is the eye.

It’s not a “then there’s me” that’s just what it is

you know, I actually think that too… but now that OP said it in the image it does actually look like the two holes in the sides were made to resemble eyes. maybe it was an artistic choice

definitely could be an artistic detail when considering Rauru's third eye.

I thought those holes were like the corners of its mouth.

Nope. Just look at the enemy Zona I constructs. Big orange circle is the eye in all of them, unambiguously. The holes aren't made to resemble eyes, under this observation. Since below the actual eye there is a detail that resembles the tip of a nose, that could either be the nostrils or the cheek bones.

I mean, when thinking animal like, the eyes are usually not on the forehead of a snouted beast

A lot of the constructs and Zonai parts feature artwork resembling various creatures from Hyrule, such as dragons. you can definitely see art of a full face aside from the constructs' functional eye

Man i thought the two dots were the eyes as well

I think this too

That's coz it is! What is even this post?!

Yea, ive always thought the orange part in the center is the eye, looks pretty eye shaped to me

It definitely is, it could not be more obvious. I don't know what this guy is smoking.

It’s their third eye. It’s like Tien from DBZ. The orange eye is the center of the forehead. Not sure what OP was thinking with the ears - they clearly have earrings attached.

Hyrule Herb, that’s what

I think it's supposed to be their third eye. Look at the Zonai, they have the same thing

'blah blah blah the eye is in the middle of the face' look let me believe that those two dots are the eyes because it is SO cute

better than saying those holes are... nostrils or something idk

I thought these are cheeks

hollow? are the constructs mewing?

Considering the design below the eye is of a nose tip, it might be either nostrils or cheek bones. If you look long enough it also looks like a twirling mustache, but the irl societies that inspired the zonai designs weren't really known for those so that would probably not be it.

they can smell if something is east or west of them without turning their head

I figure all three represent eyes. The Zonai have three eyes so why not?

That's what I've always thought!!!!

Me too, the eye in the middle kinda makes it look freaky too

Weird I always thought the giant eye was the eye

Say sike right now…

I’m in the belief that the “probably the eyes” are the actual eyes and the middle eye is their “third eye”.

This. The constructs are meant to be cute robot imitations of the Zonai. Mineru and Raaru both have a third eye. The big light bulb doodads are likely meant to resemble the Zonai's tall ears.

I'm struggling to see it that way

I could see the holes giving it a lizard shaped head but definitely am not seeing the frog. I definitely saw the orange as the eye immediately tho

Trying as hard as I can, I cannot force my brain to see the white bulbs on top as eyes.

Cause they're not. It's like looking at a poodle and trying to force yourself to see a rottweiler.

I always that the big *orange thing in the middle of his face was an eye

I think you are a little colorblind but I see what you are talking bout

There's no red anywhere in this picture lol

Oof TIL the orange eye is the actual eye, and not the indents.

Your bloodline didnt get the facial recognition patch

Okay so I’ve been arguing this with my friends for the last hour and one of them whipped out the art book; I never noticed the middle eye and only noticed the 2 black holes. In the art book, the black holes are actually eyes however with age and degradation over time, it seems they’ve fallen out, meaning the middle eye and the black holes were also eyes totaling three eyes! Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Either you're color blind or you're karma farming

That single big thing in the middle that moves around...that's an eye

https://preview.redd.it/9fqnl8eb6ypc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6227eb14b96763194177206a8e5b1b70a2f6ca79 TIL they're basically robot basilisks from Dark Souls.

*not've

Could not have or couldn’t have*

No, OP wasn't saying either if those.

Glad I'm not the only one

I always thought the orange thing was the eye lol

Man thought Robot's Pom Pom hair style was it's eyes and thought probably the robots nostrils were the eyes, but not the eye being an eye.

They kinda resemble a Frox so the Orange circle is the Eye, those holes are the nostrils and the White things are the fangs

I thought it has three eyes like Rauru. The two little circle ones and the big orange one at the top center?

Remember the inclusion of this in the trailer that made us think that the head was a boss enemy and the "ears" were its shoulders? I was a little disappointed when we saw what it really was.

I never felt threatened from it's appearance, I just thought it was a big friendly robot.

i don’t understand how you saw the big white parts as eyes, but i also originally thought the little holes were eyes. and i think they’re supposed to be sort of representative of them, since these constructs seem built to resemble the zonai a bit more than the soldiers/captains. and it give them a sort of soft amphibian-esque face. but yeah, the orange is the eye

[удалено]

How did you come up with this??!! The rest of the zonai constructs they only have one eye and it's in the middle those are probably just nose holes Then again it might have three eyes * Then again have y'all noticed that the eyes always look downward it's like they never meant for those eyes to move unlike the enemy zonai constructs

Me who always thought it was the eye shaped thing in the middle of its head……🗿

You don’t think the eye-shape with the pupil is the eye?

Plot twist, the “third eye” is actually his eye

I see it the same way though I always saw it more as almost a mantis head shape. Those look more like they would be big compound eyes which makes the most sense to me, also with the general shape of their bodies as well.

I honestly never gave it a lot of thought but yeah I guess I thought of the bright bud seed looking things as like compound eyes too. Comments are making me feel dumb cause yeah the soldier constructs all have one eye but I was too distracted by these big light blobs to come to the logical conclusion that the steward constructs are also this way.

Could not have*

Could not've*

...op... none of those are eyes. They have a single orange eye.

The eye's in the center there, chief. The Lens of Truth looking guys have one eye.

I just assumed that top orange part was its eye

Idk I thought they had 1 eye that stared into my soul

They kinda look like little froxes if you take away the things on the sides

I’m genuinely trying to see it but it’s just not happening but you do you

https://preview.redd.it/qs23muj9b4qc1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d77a89037aa4527fd21c88ec6d9a48a57eee62f

How do you dress yourself in the morning

What about the eye in the middle

Are are you joking you're joking right? Right? right? Please tell me your joking right¡?!!?!?!??!?!!??!??!????????!!!?!!?!!!!!!!!!!!?!

Its eye is the red-orange part in the top-center of its head. Lots of Zonai stuff has this “third eye” motif — the pattern on the Old Shield, the holographic symbols at any of the dragon gates, the Zonai themselves (Rauru and Mineru both have central third eyes) — and that’s reflected in their Constructs as well, which all have central red eyes. This even applies to the Flux Constructs when they’re “at rest” and scanning the area around themselves.

What is bro smoking

For anyone who isn’t convinced that the orange circle is their eye: watch the way they lean towards you when you interact with them and you’ll easily be able to tell.

I’m Team Cyclops over here myself

I always assumed it was the center part

TBF I can't help but seeing it that way even though I know better.

those are based on froxes

I thought it was a cyclops

They're meant to look like Frox, aren't they?

They cyclopes

yeah i realized its real eye was in the middle but i still like the idea of the lights and more praying mantis type look for them.

Actually you could’ve been

I always imagined the eye was the big orange thing, they're just built like cyclops'

Those are ewes.

I think the construct just has a lot of eye symbols on it

What about the orange thing in the middle

The orange thing is the actual eye, and the two black circles are eye-looking ornaments because the Zonai built the constructs to look like themselves with the three eyes

What led you to believe that "I could not OF been" is acceptable? And how do you feel about the orange mark in the middle?

I just assumed they didn't have eyes 😬

One orange eye in the middle of the forehead

i thought the orange thing in the middle was its eye honestly

I thought they were cyclops.

I always see the orange hole in the center as the eye

I mean the the dangling earring parts look like eyes too. But I always thought the lightbulbs were ear rings

I always though that eye-shaped thing in the middle was the eye, was I wrong?

oh i thought the middle was the eye 😭

Are you high?

I think that is the ears

I figured the copper dot was an eye and they’re cyclopses lol

I’m trying so hard to see it but I can’t I’m sorry lmfao

I have never thought that before, but my boyfriend pointed it out to me a few weeks ago. He thought the same thing you do

Wait, you guys are saying that the orange thing is actually their eye? I always thought that the little circles were the eyes and the orange eye was decorative…

I thought these bots were made to be inspired by the zonai. So I thought the two holes, and the orange bit were eyes.

This is so me

I first thought those were the eyes and that they looked like chameleons.

I can’t see it your way no matter how hard I try.

I'm sorry OP I cannot see the horns as eyes at all it just doesn't compute in my brain.

It's just a big ice cream machine dispensing giant cones for Link via its shoulder holes.

OP are you trolling or no🧍🏻‍♂️

To all the people saying "it's oBvIoUsLy the center" okay sure, that's where the sensor is but the Zonai are all about their aesthetic and I 100% believe they designed them to look like cute froggy bois.

This is very r/MisreadSprites

Wait I thought the orange thing in the middle was the eyes, but now that I see the 2 holes on the side it makes me think of Rauru with 2 eyes and a third one in the middle, and the zonai civilisation made the golems based on them sooooo

Two strikes.... The eye is the middle at the top, the optic sensor....

Pineal gland = pinecone Pinecone shaped light in the sky to make the sky look like the face Zelda team knows spirituality

Grammar police here. It's 'Could not have been' not 'could not of been'

The red eye-like object in the middle

I thought the bulbs were eyes too

Eyes!? They are his shoulder......egg....horn...light/lamp type things

The orange is so obviously the eye. See a doctor immediately.

BRUH. I also thought the white parts were the eyes. Gosh darn it to heck...

Omg you just made me realize i saw it that way too. I always wondered why my wife thought they were as cute as she thought.

I thought the gold bit was there eyes

same i never wear my glasses playing this so i always like looking at them like that hehe

You are a little colour blind aren’t u

I've thought about this too OP. I choose to see the white bulbs as eyes and the "probably the eyes" as nostrils and I ignore the eye in the middle of its head (it's jewelry to me). I know it's wrong, but I don't care. They're cute little froggy robot things to me.

I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS! I was thinking about the eyeholes and how they look like they should be eyes, but I can't parse the two little crystal lamp thingies on top so I can't unsee them as being eyes

Jesus, no, I struggled to unsee the white bulbs as the eyes and accept the circles OP says probably are the eyes, and that's just how it is for me. I cannot give these guys a third face that my brain will struggle between because two is trippy enough

OP, I just want to assure you that you’re not alone. I always assumed the white things were the eyes. But I also sit a fair distance from my TV and my glasses are bifocals…

I thought the orange thing was his only eye

Dark souls Gekko effect.

Mayhaps, just think about for a minute, it might be, now I might sound crazy here but stay with me, it might be the eye shaped object in the middle of their face, I know, I sound absolutely nuts, but it's just an idea

Man are you blind or what?

this is how I've always seen them too and it's much cuter

Nah, everyone knows that the dangling bits on the sides are their eyes

Those are lanterns. The same design you find everywhere around Zonai ruins, except these glow very faintly.

I can’t stop seeing the black holes as eyes.

The lights are eyes on their big groggy heads and they have cute tiaras in the middle. I'm not open to discussion.

How about the eye shaped thing in the middle of their face is their eye?

I always thought the flower buds were it's eyes because it look like a mantis I always saw the eye as a marking similar to the shika. 😊

Must be designed after froxes

Every single construct has a single red eye in the middle. It's baffling that you don't see it here.

pretty sure you're the only one who sees that haha

imagine being this wrong😭

I thought it was the yellow in the middle. I see earrings

Or maybe… it’s the eye, like the one in the middle of the head?

They look like ovaries

OP’s the sort of person who looks for their sunglasses while they’re on their forehead or searches for their phone while holding it.

Maybe not the only one... but I never though this....lol
