Zelda: Functional Cruiser Built by Player

A remarkably creative Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has engineered a fully functional cruiser using only Zonai devices. The game's building system, allowing players to combine planks, Zonai devices, and shrine-acquired items, has inspired a wide array of creations, from simple rafts to remote-controlled aircraft. Players are constantly pushing the boundaries, transforming their vehicles into impressive war machines.

For efficient exploration of Hyrule's expansive landscape (significantly larger than Breath of the Wild's due to the addition of the Depths and Sky Islands), crafting a vehicle is highly recommended. The time-consuming alternative of traversing Hyrule on horseback is easily surpassed by the speed and versatility of player-built planes and land vehicles.

Reddit user ryt1314059 showcased their impressive creation: a highly maneuverable and swift cruiser. This warship boasts two automatically-targeting Zonai cannons, enabling effective combat. Its agility in water is astonishing, allowing for rapid directional changes despite its size. Construction utilizes readily available materials: planks, cannons, fans, homing carts, a battery, and railings, all sourced near the Construct Factory.

This ingenious warship's design incorporates railings connecting cannons and planks, enhancing maneuverability and torque for effortless coastal exploration. Zonai fans, acting as propellers, provide wind-powered thrust between the planks. These components, excluding railings, are readily available from the game's device dispensers.

The vast array of Zonai items—fans, hover stones, steering sticks, etc.—offer limitless customization options for player-built contraptions. Each device contributes unique functionality, enabling the construction of diverse vehicles and solving puzzles scattered across Hyrule. These items are most efficiently acquired by using Zonai charges at the gachapon machines frequently found on Sky Islands.

Beyond Zonai devices and shrine rewards, Tears of the Kingdom provides powerful abilities like Ultrahand, Recall, and Fuse, facilitating item combination and complex structure building. These abilities, unlocked through shrine completion, allow for attaching objects to shields and weapons, further enhancing gameplay possibilities.
