5-Year-Old Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Impressive Tank

Highlights

• Tears of the Kingdom allows players of all ages to use spare materials to build unique contraptions, including a fully functional tank with a laser on top.
• The laser tank, built by a 5 year old, consists of four wheels, two beam emitters, a steering stick, and four carts that protect Link from nearby enemies.
• Zonai devices play a key role in building these contraptions, with each device having its own unique strength, such as lifting objects with balloons or creating powerful explosions with time bombs.

A Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player’s five-year-old kid managed to build a functional tank with a laser on top of it. Tears of the Kingdom encourages players of all ages to make contraptions out of spare materials, such as planks and stone slabs, which can be found all over Hyrule. The game not only features quite a few Zonai devices with different functions but also gives Link ancient abilities, some of which lead to the emergence of wild builds.

With Tears of the Kingdom‘s new set of abilities, players can make various contraptions that can be used in combat and exploration. Using Ultrahand, they can mix Zonai devices and other construction materials to craft combat gadgets. Players are also given the Fuse ability, which allows them to attach inanimate objects to weapons and armor to make them sturdier. One thing to note is that these powers are discovered after completing some shrines in Hyrule.

One Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player known as huns2531 on Reddit showed a laser tank that their five-year-old child created using Zonai devices. The vehicle consists of four wheels, two beam emitters, a steering stick, and four carts that protect Link from nearby enemies. In terms of speed and maneuverability, it’s better than many other vehicles that have been shared within the Zelda community over the past months. This deadly machine has a long range, allowing the player to kill mobs of enemies without taking any damage. On the Reddit thread, Tears of the Kingdom fans praised the kid for making a fully functional tank, with the original poster claiming that they will post more builds in the future.

The main component of the laser tank is the beam emitter, which locks onto enemies when combined with the construct head. Although it drains more battery than many other Zonai devices, the beam emitter is capable of dealing massive damage. This build also involves carts and small wheels that Tears of the Kingdom players can find in device dispensers.

Tears of the Kingdom players can have multiple Zonai parts in their inventory and use them for combat or exploration. Each Zonai device has a unique strength; for example, balloons lift objects up into the air, while time bombs create powerful explosions and deal AoE damage. With Tears of the Kingdom‘s Ultrahand ability, players can merge them together to build hilarious contraptions. Aside from gachapon machines in the Sky Islands, Zonai parts are obtained from chests scattered all over Hyrule.
