The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand ability allows players to build some truly tremendous contraptions, some of which are capable of completely altering the ways in which they traverse Hyrule. One such contraption is known as the "hoverbike," and players who want to make exploration easier should definitely consider building one. This guide is here to assist with that endeavor, and it will help fans put together the best hoverbikes in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Alignment is very important when constructing a hoverbike in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , as properly aligned vehicles fly much straighter than those that are not. Players are thus advised to disable "aim with motion controls" before starting their builds and avoid using their joysticks (instead favoring the d-pad) whenever possible. Fans should also make sure to build on flat ground , as uneven terrain can certainly contribute to improper alignment.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Best Hoverbike Builds

Standard

Players who are looking to create a straightforward hoverbike are strongly advised to use this build, which utilizes two Fans and one Steering Stick. While fans can find those components in many of the Zonai Device Dispensers in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it is recommended that they use the machine at the Hudson Construction Site (west of Tarrey Town). This recommendation is due to the fact there are flat platforms at the construction site, and those are great surfaces upon which to assemble the hoverbike.

1.

Take out a Fan.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Rotate it down twice.
  • Rotate it clockwise once.
  • Hold up on the d-pad to push it forward.
  • Release it.

2.

Take out a Fan.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Rotate it down twice.
  • Raise it carefully.
  • Hold up on the d-pad to push it above the first Fan.
  • Attach it.

3.

Take out a Steering Stick.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Raise it carefully.
  • Hold up on the d-pad to push it above the Fan stack.
  • Attach it.

4.

Approach the stack.

  • Jump.
  • Take control of the device.
  • Quickly press B to end control

5.

Grab the top fan with Ultrahand, and gently move the right joystick to unstick the components.

6.

Control the Steering Stick (to reset the camera).

  • Release control.
  • Perform a backflip (hold ZL and press down on left joystick + jump).

7.

Grab the Steering Stick with Ultrahand.

  • Hold down on the d-pad until it is as close to Link as possible.
  • Rotate it down once.
  • Hold down on the d-pad again.
  • Attach it.

8.

Grab the Steering Stick with Ultrahand.

  • Rotate the two attached components up once.
  • Hold up on the d-pad to push them forward.
  • Rotate them down once.

9.

Press up or down on the d-pad to find the maximum distance that will allow the two attached components to attach to the remaining fan, and then attach them.

Modified

While the standard hoverbike that is detailed in the preceding section may be enough for most players, it is possible to improve the maneuverability of the machine by incorporating an elevator rail into the build. For the uninitiated, elevator rails in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have some unique properties, and here are details about how to gain access to one:

  1. Travel to the Right Leg Depot in the Depths, and locate an elevator.
  2. Remove all fans from the elevator.
  3. Take out two Stabilizers, and attach them to the elevator rail so that they are perpendicular.
  4. Strike the Stabilizers to activate them and release the rail from the elevator.

With the elevator rail released, players should follow these steps to create the modified hoverbike:

1.

Take out a Fan.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Rotate it down twice.
  • Release it.

2.

Take out a Steering Stick.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Rotate it down once.
  • Attach its front edge to the Fan.

3.

Take out a Fan.

  • Grab it with Ultrahand.
  • Rotate it up once.
  • Position it between Link and one of the elevator rail's long sides.
  • Attach its front edge to the middle of the elevator rail's long side.

4.

Grab the Steering Stick with Ultrahand.

  • Position TotK's Link on the side of the elevator rail with the attached fan.
  • Push the Steering Stick just past the elevator rail.
  • Attach the back edge of the Steering Stick to the middle of the elevator rail's other long side.

Players should make sure to favorite this construction within the Autobuild menu, as creating it from scratch always requires a trip to Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 's Depths in order to secure elevator rails.
