A remarkably creative Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has engineered a fully functional cruiser using Zonai devices. The game's building system, allowing players to combine planks, Zonai devices, and shrine items, has inspired a wide array of creations, from simple rafts to sophisticated aircraft. Players are constantly pushing the boundaries, even attempting to create functional war machines.

Early vehicle construction is highly recommended in Tears of the Kingdom, as traversing Hyrule on horseback can be incredibly time-consuming. Planes and land vehicles dramatically enhance exploration, especially considering the expanded map encompassing the Depths and Sky Islands. Efficient exploration of Hyrule's vast landscape is practically impossible without a custom-built vehicle.

Reddit user ryt1314059 showcased their impressive creation: a high-speed, highly maneuverable cruiser. This warship boasts two automatically targeting Zonai cannons, and exhibits exceptional agility in water, despite its size. The build utilizes planks, cannons, fans, homing carts, a battery, and railings, all readily available near the Construct Factory.

The cruiser's design cleverly incorporates railings connecting cannons and planks, enhancing maneuverability and torque for coastal exploration. Zonai fans act as propellers, providing thrust via wind power. Most components are readily obtainable from device dispensers, with the exception of the railings.

Tears of the Kingdom offers a diverse array of Zonai devices, including fans, hover stones, and steering sticks, which significantly expand the possibilities for vehicle construction. Each device serves a unique purpose, enabling Link to build highly specialized vehicles. These devices are also crucial for solving many of the game's intricate puzzles. Gachapon machines, frequently found on Sky Islands, provide a convenient way to acquire Zonai charges for these devices.

Beyond Zonai devices and shrine items, the game's powerful abilities – Ultrahand, Recall, and Fuse – allow for complex item combinations and construction. These abilities, unlocked through shrine completion, are essential for creating intricate structures and attaching objects to weapons and shields.
