A Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has managed to combine various known tricks and glitches to create a cannon that Link can fire remotely. Just like Breath of the Wild before it, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives players a vast, open-world version of Hyrule to explore and perform various side activities to distract themselves from the game’s primary quest. An extra wrinkle in this is brought about through Tears of the Kingdom’s new crafting mechanics, which allow creative players to scrape together vehicles, weapons, and even shelters to help Link save the kingdom from Ganondorf and his dark forces.
This Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom made a functional airship that doesn’t require energy cells

Something that always stuns me are the ways dedicated players find ways to push the limits of the games they play. Whether it’s Animal Crossing designers who know the perfect way to line up buildings to fake certain perspectives, or a Tears of the Kingdom player who created an ultra-fast flying machine by holding the fan up in a particular way, I’ve always appreciated the commitment and creativity that goes into pushing a game to its limit. I was doing the rounds on Reddit when I saw something that truly astounded me: Reddit user Scalhoun03 created a completely wind-powered airship in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The airship requires no energy to fly — meaning no Zonai charges or energy cells are needed to run it. It can fly through the air and sustain sustain flight at high altitudes seemingly indefinitely. The original post shows the ship flying through the skies of Hyrule with no input or energy. It’s only interrupted at the end when Scalhoun03 said they accidentally bumped the control stick. You can see a video of the build in action below.
The contraption appears to defy the laws of (Zelda) physics itself. Energy cells are a crucial and foundational aspect to building machines in the game. If you want to use Zonai devices like a fan or flame emitter, you have to increase Link’s maximum energy cell capacity. This is why you see so many of the top builders with big, long rows of tiny battery icons as they run their massive machines.
So how does a ship fly with no Zonai charges or any energy elements? According to its creator, its propulsion relies upon a twisting forced generating by its steering stick. “Basically it uses the steering stick’s energy to power the props. When you move the steering stick it puts a twisting force on the entire build. This force is transfered to the wagon wheel axles thus running the [propellors],” Scalhoun03 said via Reddit DMs.
Getting the materials required a journey of its own across Hyrule. Scalhoun03 scrounged up propellers from Gemimik Shrine in the Akkala Highlands region and journeyed to the Depths to collect the raft and rails. Then came the actual building.
“The hardest part was finding the balance to keep the props spinning without interfering. The props have to be in the right positions or they hit each other. When building with auto built parts you have to be careful about how you break them off or they disappear. The raft is an auto built part and if the props are in the wrong places you risk breaking your raft.”
Scalhoun03 emphasized how important the Hyrule Engineering subreddit and larger community was in the process of building the ship. Throughout its design, others contributed their own innovations that helped the builder hone in

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Apollo 11 Ship
One The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has built the Apollo 11 ship using railings and Zonai devices. Along with making one-of-a-kind vehicles, Tears of the Kingdom players have been recreating all types of things from other franchises, including Armored Core mechs and Star Wars ships. Some take inspiration from real-life engineering marvels, pushing the limits of the Zonai technology to build a helicopter or a plane from scratch, or in this case, a recreation of the American spacecraft that let astronauts walk on the moon.

Can You Keep Playing After Beating Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
With how much there is to do and explore in , it's only natural that some players may wonder whether it's possible to continue the game after beating it. The events of the newest entry are quite dire, and it would make sense for Link to accomplish his mission as fast as possible — but it can be unclear whether doing so poses the risk of having to start from scratch, should he want to return to the Kingdom of Hyrule afterward.
