One crafty The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has built a tensegrity device in the game. Since the game's release in May, a number of Ultrahand creations have set the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom community abuzz, with one being an autonomous combat drone that can kill hordes of enemies from a distance. Some players have a better imagination than others, utilizing the fuse entanglement glitch to create quantum vehicles whose main components are invisible. More inventive builds are likely to make the rounds online in the future.
Tears of the Kingdom earned rave reviews upon its launch, becoming one of Nintendo's most-selling games of all time. A portion of Zelda fans think the best aspect of Tears of the Kingdom is its enhanced gameplay mechanics that allow players to create wacky contraptions. One such mechanic is Ultrahand, with which players can combine almost everything they can think of, including giant jet turbines, star fragments, railings, and planks of wood.
In a video submitted to the game's subreddit, an imaginative Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player showed how to craft a tensegrity structure in the game. They appear to have attached a few large hooks and wooden slabs together to construct a self-tensioning device, which is remarkably stable thanks to a counterweight. According to the original poster, the upper part of the structure is held up by the tension on the hooks. It's fair to say that the player came up with an ingenious idea to use Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand ability.
Many Tears of the Kingdom fans in the comments section praised this fan-made concept, with some claiming that it makes them want some sort of rope or chain as a device. The original poster admitted that the build looks ugly, and they would like to see a more aesthetically pleasing version of it. However, even though the device may not look all that pretty doesn't prevent it from pushing the limits of physical laws.
To unlock the Ultrahand ability permanently, players will head to the Great Sky Island and complete Tears of the Kingdom's Ukouh Shrine. This shrine will allow players to come to grips with Ultrahand before they start using it in the wild. They will attach stone slabs together to create a makeshift bridge and combine them with a metal hook to travel in the air. These metal hooks are useful materials that can be used to glide down the rail when attached to a wooden slab.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Switch.
