Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Incredible Race Car
A slick new race car is the latest creation to come from fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Known for its simple to learn yet difficult to master crafting mechanic, Tears of the Kingdom encourages players to fit all sorts of items together to see what happens.
One of Link's new tools in Tears of the Kingdom is a special ability known as Ultrahand that has a myriad of uses, like manipulating objects and sticking them together to build new items, including vehicles.

GentleJoh's fellow Hyrule Engineers seemed to be enthralled with the spring-top design, and some compared the look of the car to the real-life Datsun 240z (minus the spring). Others compared it to the legendary Mach 5 from Speed Racer. Many commenters are hoping for a build guide to make their own cars and perhaps outfit it with the appropriate weaponry.
