Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Unusual Vehicle Out of a Bridge

gamerant.com:

One inventive player has recently devised a way to drive a bridge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Their engineering ingenuity later made the rounds online, illustrating the never-ending creativity of the Tears of the Kingdom fandom.

The ability to create structures and vehicles has long been advertised as one of the key selling points of the latest Zelda game. And although Tears of the Kingdom's Ultrahand ability can indeed be used with pretty much anything that's not nailed to the ground (and even some objects that are), the building materials that are available to Link at any given time don't normally include bridge parts.

Reddit user Bunyan_24 did manage to discover one notable exception to this rule, having realized that the broken stone bridge pieces near Zelda's study in Tears of the Kingdom can be manipulated with Ultrahand. Armed with that knowledge and some engineering chops, the player first reassembled what was left of the bridge, and then transformed the resulting structure into a vehicle.

Although Bunyan_24 described the contraption as a «car,» it is much more akin to a tank, with the sheer size of its giant stone body allowing it to tower over the ground. Turning this design into an actual piece of mobile artillery would be challenging, but not impossible, as the unusual-looking «bridge car» consists of 19 pieces in total. Meaning the vehicle could incorporate two more components—e.g., a turret and auto-aiming Construct Head—before it starts falling apart, as is the case with all Tears of the Kingdom Ultrahand creations.

Reflecting on their imposing machine, Bunyan_24 explained that they had decided to put together a drivable bridge because they were «bored.» And while this may be the first attempt at driving a bridge that the game's fandom has shared to date, the fact that the stone pieces near Zelda's Study interact with Ultrahand has already been known to some players. In fact, Ultrahand is not the only one of Link's powers that can be
