As one of the top-selling releases of 2023, Tears of the Kingdom has allowed players to use their imaginations to create an assortment of devices and vehicles to make both travel and fighting a breeze. From vehicles capable of flight to weaponized monstrosities on four wheels, players' creativity has allowed Tears of the Kingdom to be considered for multiple end-of-year awards.

With the awards season continuing apace, a Tears of the Kingdom player showed others their latest, damage-dealing device.
7-Year-Old Demolishes Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Ganondorf Using Only Flurry Rushes
A young Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom player displays impressive skill by taking down Ganondorf using only Flurry Rushes and without taking a hit.
On Reddit, a user named chesepuf showed off their "lawnmower" made of various Zonai devices on the r/HyruleEngineering subreddit. This four-wheeled device was subsequently titled the "Lawn Order" as a pun on the term "law and order" and for its intended purposes of cutting grass and mowing down enemies with its assorted weapons. In a seven-minute video, the OP showed other users how to build the "Lawn Order" and how it took down a Black Hinox. As one of the most notorious field bosses in Tears of the Kingdom that players will encounter, the fact that the Hinox was defeated in 24 seconds was a testament to the potency of the "Lawn Order" vehicle.
By using a gloomdredger as a base, the OP attached two suspension-locked wheels to the front and two large wheels in the rear with some snap devices to provide extra clearance. For the weapons, the OP then attached eight laser turrets plus a shock emitter to a motor axle. A water globule from the Water Temple above Hyrule was also utilized to make future uses of Autobuild easier to manage. While other vehicles were built for aerial combat in Tears of the Kingdom, the "Lawn Order" was able to climb moderate slopes with ease, though rocks remained a challenge. In the comments, other users pointed out how the OP can use non-yellow chuchu jellies to make the build easier to manage.
Thanks to the wild imaginations of players, it is no surprise why Tears of the Kingdom is one of the top open-world games on the Switch. It remains to be seen what players will build in the future.
