Unbelievable! Fan Creates Mind-Blowing, Working Hover Bike from Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Highlights

The fan's meticulous attention to detail and accurate portrayal of the hoverbike design impressed other fans of Tears of the Kingdom. Qshyj, the creator of the miniature hoverbike, skillfully utilized a UV curing light box, spray painter, and precise tools to flawlessly execute the paintwork and assemble the model. As a final touch, they added a broken Master Sword.

Inspired by the hoverbike featured in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a dedicated fan has successfully brought the hoverbike to life in a miniature replica. Documenting the entire creative process in a video, this fan's creation quickly gained popularity on social media. Fellow Tears of the Kingdom enthusiasts praised the creator's exceptional attention to detail and contribution to the fandom.

Ever since its release in May, the latest installment of The Legend of Zelda series has ignited the imagination of gamers, offering them new avenues to showcase their creativity. Consequently, players of Tears of the Kingdom have designed a multitude of weapons and vehicles, including various iterations of the hoverbike for Link to utilize during his adventures across the kingdom of Hyrule. However, one Zelda player took it a step further by bringing their creative prowess to reality and proudly sharing it with other fans.

On YouTube, a Japanese Zelda enthusiast named qshyj expertly recorded and uploaded a video lasting just over four and a half minutes. Within the video, qshyj skillfully utilized her MacBook to create a replica of the iconic hoverbike design from Tears of the Kingdom. This design was then transferred to a Creality resin 3D printer to produce accurately shaped pieces, resembling a model kit. After delicately separating the pieces from the resin slab, qshyj proceeded to place them in a UV curing light box for further preparation. Subsequently, she meticulously smoothed out any imperfections by hand and utilized a spray painter to skillfully coat each piece with a vibrant shade of green paint. In addition, qshyj displayed exceptional attention to detail as she hand-painted a control stick, two large fans, and intricately designed fan blades. Skillfully assembling the fan blades and securing them with adhesive, qshyj then snapped the fans and control stick into their respective positions.

To add the final finishing touch, qshyj ingeniously employed multipurpose adhesive as a substitute for Link's Ultrahand ability. Two pieces of adhesive were affixed to attach the control stick to each fan, emulating the process depicted in Tears of the Kingdom. The video concluded with qshyj impressively "fusing" a miniature model of the broken Master Sword to one of the fans. As of writing this, qshyj's YouTube video has amassed over 83k views and has received over 280 comments within the initial three days. The comments overflowed with admiration from fellow Zelda enthusiasts, commending qshyj for her exceptional camera work, meticulous attention to detail in replicating Tears of the Kingdom's Zonai devices, and innovative use of adhesive as a substitute for the Ultrahand ability.

Although weapon replicas have been created by Zelda enthusiasts previously, the miniature model crafted by qshyj stands out as a rare and appreciated creation. It remains to be seen whether qshyj's remarkable work will attract a larger following on YouTube in the coming days.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can now be found on the Nintendo Switch platform.
