The University of Maryland is offering a course called "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to Machine Design" where students are graded on their engineering skills using the game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The course utilizes the game's physics system and mechanics to teach students about design, prototyping, and testing. Teams compete in an in-class race to complete challenges, with the fastest team earning an A+. The course has gained significant interest, with a waitlist double the original capacity.
