Summary
- Tears of the Kingdom players have been creating impressive vehicles, including an 18-wheeled bike, to navigate the game's vast maps.
- The bike uses a stabilizer device to keep the wheels upright and allows for a simple build. However, it has difficulty turning and is best suited for open areas.
- Players can only fuse together up to 21 objects at once, so creating something like a 40-wheeleris not possible.
A creative Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player fused together a makeshift motorcycle with 18 wheels. The hilarious clip showcasing the outrageous bike might just be the most impressive bike created in Tears of the Kingdom.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there are three separate maps for players to traverse: the islands in the sky, Hyrule, and the Depths. With so much space to cover during the 60-hour adventure, it’s only natural for players to use Link’s new abilities to create vehicles to get around. There are tons of videos online of different cars, planes, and boats that players have fused together, not to mention more original vehicles such as hovercrafts and air bikes. Most of these forms of transportation are for practical use, but sometimes players make vehicles that work poorly and simply look cool.
Reddit user Oohslaghe posted a video of one of the coolest-looking bikes made in Tears of the Kingdom. The video starts off with a close-up shot of what looks like Link riding a regular bike through Hyrule. The camera then pulls back and swings around to a bird’s eye view, showcasing the 18-wheeler in all its glory. It’s obvious that the bike makes little sense, but as the camera pushes in on Link, it becomes apparent how cool he looks riding it.
It may seem like the bike should tip over instantly, but the true hero here is the stabilizer. A stabilizer in Tears of the Kingdom is a Zonai device that stands upright when activated and is capable of lifting other objects as it tips upward. A stabilizer, when attached to a wheel, will keep it standing upright, which allowed Oohslaghe to attach all 18 wheels. With a steering stick attached to the top of the stabilizer, the bike is complete, making this build a simple one. Also, players who wish to build this bike themselves should remember that only 21 objects can be fused together at one time. So it’s not possible to make a 40-wheeler, for example.
When it comes the practicality of this vehicle in Tears of the Kingdom, Oohslaghe mentioned in a comment that the bike has a difficult time turning. Holding the control stick in one direction for a few seconds only turns the bike about five degrees. This means it’s only possible to use this bike in wide open areas, ensuring it is designed purely to look impressive.
