One The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has built one of the tallest vehicles in the game, which can travel over rough terrain. Tears of the Kingdom is known for its sandbox nature, which allows players to do whatever they want in a massive world filled with floating archipelagos, ancient ruins, villages, and vicious creatures. Players can either build their dream vehicle or craft a military weapon to beat hordes of enemies. The biggest difference from previous Zelda games is that Link is able to explore the skies above Hyrule's land, where he can find Zonai items, chests, and puzzles.

Tears of the Kingdom retains almost all gameplay elements from Breath of the Wild, and it offers a less contained experience thanks to the inclusion of Zonai devices and Link's new abilities, which increase the depth of creativity players can unlock within the game's world. Zonai devices are beneficial materials that can be installed into a functional vehicle, weapon, or home. Each device provides the build with a different effect, including firepower, speed, and maneuverability. Tears of the Kingdom also gives Link five new abilities that allow the character to manipulate objects, fuse them together, pass through objects, and recreate schematics.

Zelda fans offer their opinions on the best characters in Tears of the Kingdom as part of a survey about the latest game in the series.

A Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player known on Reddit as ReelDeadOne showcased their incredibly tall vehicle that can travel over every type of terrain. This unusual build consists of Zonai devices, including wheels, a steering stick, railings, and a stabilizer. It allows the player to observe the area as they're traversing and tread the seas. The only downside to the vehicle is that they have to climb all the way up to the cockpit, which is nearly at the same height as mountain peaks. Players who want to try it must collect at least 30 railings, practical items that can be obtained from Tears of the Kingdom's Right Leg Depot dungeon.

It's an arduous task to get a Zonai-based build set up and ready, as players must spend a lot of Zonai charges to purchase enough devices. They are found in several terminals scattered throughout the Sky Islands. One of the best ways to farm charges is to defeat Tears of the Kingdom's Flux Constructs, formidable enemies that appear in the Depths.

Tears of the Kingdom players need to grasp all the nuances of Ultrahand, which is unlocked upon entering the Ukouh Shrine, to build vehicles. Part of the Ultrahand ability is Magnesis from Breath of the Wild which allows players to manipulate all kinds of objects and bolt them together. With the help of Fuse and other ancient powers, they can make as many weird contraptions as possible.
