Orbital Satellite Strike Cannon

The first build that I had a blast with, quite literally, was this Canon. This community’s favorite orbital satellite laser cannon obliterates the three-headed dragon in less than a minute. Link can activate the gimmick for this design and project it at Gleeok while the laser does all the main attack and heavy lifting.

All Link needs to do is dodge the boss’s attacks while the cannon rains destruction from above. You can achieve this incredible build by using a bunch of Zonai items like a Hover Stone, a sled, a shield, ten beam emitters, and a rocket.

A Controllable Mech

The whole thing was shared on TikTok by a creator known as ‘soulbanana0.’ In the clip, we witnessed Link utilizing his brand-new Ultrahand and Fuse abilities to cleverly piece together different objects like wheels, laser cannons, and bits of wood, forming a badass mech inspired by Gundam.

With the help of the Ascend ability, Link then climbs onto his ingenious creation and takes control of it. This makeshift machine is quite the force to be reckoned with. The burning question on everyone’s mind is: How did this player get their hands on so many energy cells in Hyrule? 

Energy-Saving Big Wheel

This Twitter user, Liz, presented her masterpiece, the ‘BIG WHEEL.’ This thing is massive and takes the crown for awesomeness!

Liz managed to construct this gigantic wheel using just a single Zonai device. That means we don’t have to worry about draining battery power.

But that’s not all! This monster wheel can conquer any terrain, even bodies of water, like a boss and zoom through them at lightning-fast speeds. 

Hoverbike MKII

There is no need to overcomplicate things when this build proves simplicity can be a winning build in Tears of the Kingdom. YouTuber Nassi dropped a game-changer by designing a simple yet highly functional creation. This HoverBike can traverse through every corner of the game with absolute ease. It’s a resource-efficient vehicle like no other.

I immediately decided to craft one when I first learned of this bike. It completely changed the rest of my campaign. This build falls into the coveted category of resource usefulness.

It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a game-winning strategy. You won’t believe how this creation maximizes every resource at its disposal.

Constructing this badass hover bike requires nine Zonaites. But here’s the deal: this hover bike allows you to discover more valuable Zonaites. So, fear not. Those initial nine Zonaites you invested in will be compensated, and then some!

Multi-Stage Space Rocket

The awe-inspiring creation by Reddit user Bishlo in Tears of the Kingdom accurately depicts craftsmanship. We’re talking about a multi-stage space rocket!

As this rocket propels upwards, it goes through four stages during its launch phase. This excellent build reaches an apex of at least a hundred feet. Just imagine reaching this soaring height!

As much as we’d love to see new creations for epic ventures, there’s a tiny setback. The Zonai devices in the game have a limited charge. But let’s not lose hope just yet. We can’t deny what the fans are doing! They’re developing these fantastic devices and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Pro-skater

Pro-skater in Tears of the Kingdom may not be as epic as other best creations on this list, but it helps to move around and explore the land of Hyrule like a boss.

Since most shields have lower durability and tend to break more often, it proves helpful when riding the minecart rails like a pro – all thanks to the fusion ability. The same goes for skating around open fields, dungeons—anywhere you stumble upon a set of wheels.

I added this nifty trick’s simplicity because more people can slide down slopes.

The Korok Rotisserie Machine

Is it funny, or is it straight-up horrifying? That’s a tough call. But check this out: one clever Zelda player created a horrible torture machine that’s equally awful and hilarious. That’s the Korok rotisserie machine.

They only needed a few sections of wood, some sticks, four fires, and…five innocent, unsuspecting Koroks.

What Would I Recommend?

Tears of the Kingdom features excellent building mechanics that take the player’s creativity up. The ability to pick up any two things and fuse them was some of my most fun. Even more so, testing out community builds made the experience truly one of a kind.

My favorite out of all of these was the Mech. This vast creation is a testament to this mechanic, and the infinite possibilities of builds players have. Therefore, I recommend players test some community creations and build something unique.
