An industrious The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has created a functional flyboard, which has left fans impressed due to its simplicity. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom encourages players to craft makeshift vehicles from Zonai devices scattered throughout the world of Hyrule, while also allowing them to move freely between the Sky Islands and the Depths, strike down majestic creatures, and build complex contraptions.

Even after months of the game's launch, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players are still sharing their mind-boggling contraptions with the community, demonstrating the creative potential of the Ultrahand ability. Recently, some have taken advantage of Zonai devices to craft deadly weapons, while others have utilized Link's Ultrahand to plunk their bases in urban areas. It's a safe bet that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fans will witness the birth of more engineering marvels in the future.

One insightful Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player, who goes by Wise_Mulberry1065 on Reddit, has combined several Zonai devices to craft a functional flyboard. Despite being nearly the same size as Link, this makeshift vehicle allows the player to travel in the air at high speed. Furthermore, the flyboard operates on land, providing versatile transportation options, unlike many other community creations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The flyboard seems to be composed of a Zonai fan and a sled, which can be found inside the gachapon machines in the Sky Islands. The biggest advantage of this vehicle is that it has no battery, meaning the player can use it as long as they want.

Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand Leads to the Emergence of Intricate Builds

As with Magnessis from Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand allows players to move objects in lateral directions, making it easier to solve puzzles and build impressive contraptions. Additionally, it lets players rotate objects and detach them from each other. Although the controls for Ultrahand are clunky, this ancient power leads to the creation of pretty wild things, including vehicles and weapons. If Tears of the Kingdom players want to unlock it, they must first find and complete the Ukouh Shrine.

Aside from the Ultrahand ability, Tears of the Kingdom provides players with Zonai devices, which serve as building blocks for custom creations. They are arguably one of the best additions to the game, allowing Link to craft funky new contraptions. Each Zonai device has its own unique function, with some even altering the game's environment. For example, Zonai lights illuminate dark places on the map, while homing carts automatically target nearby enemies.
