A remarkably creative Tears of the Kingdom player has engineered a fully functional Zonai cruiser. The game's robust building system, allowing players to combine planks, Zonai devices, and shrine-acquired items, has already spawned a wide array of creations, from simple rafts to sophisticated aircraft. Now, players are pushing the boundaries even further, crafting impressive war machines.
Building a vehicle in Tears of the Kingdom is highly recommended once the necessary components are obtained. Traversing Hyrule on horseback can be incredibly time-consuming, while a custom plane or car drastically speeds up exploration, both on land and in the air. Given the significantly expanded map, encompassing the Depths and numerous Sky Islands, efficient travel is practically essential.
Reddit user ryt1314059 has showcased their impressive creation: a high-speed, highly maneuverable cruiser. This warship boasts two automatically targeting Zonai cannons, and its impressive agility allows for swift directional changes even at its considerable size. The design cleverly utilizes planks, cannons, fans, homing carts, a battery, and railings – all readily sourced near the Construct Factory.

The cruiser's design incorporates railings connecting cannons and planks, enhancing maneuverability and torque for smoother coastal exploration. Zonai fans positioned between planks act as propellers, providing wind-powered thrust. Most of these components are conveniently available from Zonai device dispensers.
Tears of the Kingdom offers a vast array of Zonai devices—fans, hover stones, steering sticks, and more—each providing unique functionality to player-built vehicles. These devices are not only essential for vehicle construction but also crucial for solving puzzles scattered throughout Hyrule. They are most easily acquired by spending Zonai charges at gachapon machines frequently found on Sky Islands.
Beyond Zonai devices and shrine items, powerful abilities like Ultrahand, Recall, and Fuse are key to creating intricate structures and attaching items to weapons and shields. These abilities, unlocked by completing shrines, are instrumental in building complex contraptions.
