Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Trick is Easy Way to Get a Lot of Rupees

gamerant.com:

One Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has found a simple way for players to farm rupees by using a common Zonai device found all through Hyrule. Zonai devices in Tears of the Kingdom help players build almost any vehicle or structure to help Link navigate through Nintendo’s open world.

Since Nintendo released the latest entry in the iconic franchise, gamers have been building interesting vehicles in Tears of the Kingdom. While fans are excited to share what they have created during their time with Link, one player has noticed that one of the tools can be used in a much simpler fashion to earn a lot of in-game money.

One Reddit user by the username Nayfunn has posted a short clip of Branli and Mimo’s Test Flight minigame on Eventide Island, showing the use of the steering stick device can earn a lot of rupees. The post explains that once the player is in flight, players can attach the steering stick and guide the glider to the center goal with greater accuracy. Usually, if gamers land in the center ring they’ll be rewarded with 100 rupees, but if Link manages to land within 1 meter of the exact center, Branli and Mimo will reward the player a Gold Rupee worth 300 rupees for an initial 20 rupee investment.

Nayfunn does note that the steering stick trick only works once the glider is in the air, but at the time of writing, the post has received 1.4k upvotes, with most players responding positively to this new tip. Many seem to have assumed that the developers would have programmed the game to not allow the use of additional items, but it seems this is not the case with Branli and Mimo’s Test Flight. This exploit can certainly come in handy when it comes to spending money, as Tears of the Kingdom has a costly armor upgrade
