Revolutionary One-Wheeled Vehicle Unveiled in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Highlights

A creative player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has built a unique single-wheeled vehicle using Zonai devices and a giant yellow ball.

In a video posted by Reddit user wazike, a vehicle with small wheels and stabilizers is presented. This unique design forms a three-pronged structure with the ball positioned in the center. By enabling the ball to detach automatically, this design offers the ability to traverse both land and water, offering potential for enhanced customization and improvements.

A resourceful player of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has ingeniously combined Zonai devices with an unexpected in-game item to construct a distinctive single-wheeled vehicle. This improvised mode of transportation can be utilized on both land and certain aqueous environments.

When the creators of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom initially incorporated Zonai devices into the game, it is reasonable to assume that they anticipated the emergence of remarkable vehicles crafted by players and shared online. However, it is unlikely that even the developers could have foreseen players fashioning impressive vehicles using unconventional materials, such as the player who fashioned a low rider from wooden planks and sleds. Additionally, the inclusion of the colossal yellow floating balls discovered in the Jonsau Shrine as a component for a vehicle was likely unexpected but has been ingeniously employed by a creative enthusiast as an impromptu wheel.

A Reddit user named wazike shared a video on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit featuring their innovative single-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle utilizes a large floating ball and showcases Link operating a three-pronged structure constructed from small wheels, stabilizers, and various helpful Zonai devices from Tears of the Kingdom. The remarkable speed and maneuverability of this unique vehicle are demonstrated as it effortlessly glides through both grassy and wetter terrains. The video also exhibits Link's ability to construct this vehicle autonomously.

The key to this creation lies in the wheel threads, which allow the Jonsau Shrine ball to autonomously detach from the other Zonai devices. This ensures that the entire build remains intact as one cohesive unit, eliminating the need for additional assembly or fusion after the auto-building process. Moreover, using a floating ball instead of heavier metal ones provides the advantage of maneuvering this vehicle effectively even in deeper bodies of water.

Pseudo-Sadhu, a Reddit user, served as the inspiration for this build. They had previously created a similar construction, but utilized a different Zonai device from Tears of the Kingdom to secure the ball - cooking pots. Wazike, however, substituted the pots with small wheels, resulting in a cohesive creation. Sharing their design on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit, Wazike anticipated that others would further enhance it, deeming this single-wheeled vehicle a "proof of concept." Interestingly, one commenter has already proposed the addition of cannons, in an attempt to fashion a Brute Chopper-like vehicle from Halo. Nintendo Switch users can enjoy The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
