Ingenious Tears of the Kingdom vehicle utilizes 3 control levers

A resourceful player of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom recently shared a brilliant land vehicle design online, utilizing three equivalent steering wheels. Their inspiring creation is a testament to how much the building meta of Tears of the Kingdom has evolved since the release of the latest Zelda game in May.

Among all the Zonai devices that Tears of the Kingdom offers to players, the control lever is the universally most useful component of the game. As the sole module that enables Link to operate his customized apparatuses, this device has proven to be an integral part of practically every car, ship, airplane, and mech constructed by the fan community to date.

While its core functionality makes it an indispensable component of every Tears of the Kingdom vehicle, the control lever has much more to offer. This was recently illustrated by Reddit user rshotmaker, who developed a five-wheeled ride called the "RumbleBreaker," presumably due to its ability to consistently navigate through enraged crowds. Their three-minute video demonstration of the apparatus showcases this in a rather amusing manner, but the playful style of the clip should not distract from the fact that the RumbleBreaker is a serious technological marvel.

The car itself consists of five Zonai clef wheels, a portable pot, and three control levers. The bulk of the engineering work is handled by this trio of equivalent steering wheels, arranged into a cockpit. The immediate advantage of this configuration is that it provides Link with immense protection against damages, as control levers happen to be among the sturdiest Zonai devices in Tears of the Kingdom. Furthermore, the rearmost lever is positioned outward to prevent enemies from entering the blind spot of the construction-head shield that the player mounts on the spacious modular bonnet of the car.

Finally, the front control lever completes the cradle-shaped structure of the vehicle, designed to restrict the movement of components and allow the pot beneath the improvised chassis to serve as a rudimentary form of suspension. As a result, the RumbleBreaker exhibits impressive maneuverability even on the most rugged terrains. Considering that its impressive range of functions requires just nine parts, this newly shared ride is nothing short of a masterclass in utilizing Tears of the Kingdom's Zonai devices.

Although the creator positioned some modules using "Stake Nudging," a trick in Tears of the Kingdom that can create invisible connections between objects, they emphasized that this is entirely optional and provides only minor performance benefits. Regardless of how the RumbleBreaker is constructed, the inventor concluded that its modest parts list, impressive maneuverability, and outstanding battery efficiency make it a vehicle that is "as good as small wheels allow."

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for Nintendo Switch.
