Hey, so there’s this wild invention in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — someone came up with a flying machine that doesn’t need any juice at all. Yeah, you heard me right. I mean, vehicles in the game usually run out of battery like, super quick, but this dude found a loophole. Ingenious, right?
Oh, and get this, even though the game just hit its second anniversary (wow, time flies), people are still hooked because they can make all sorts of quirky gadgets and whatnot. Nintendo even spruced up the game recently with some snazzy updates for the Switch 2. It’s like the game’s got a new lease on life or something.
Anyway, I stumbled across this post from a guy called scalhoun03. He built this contraption using two big springs slapped onto a Wing Device. You can find these Wings all over Hyrule from Zonai Device Dispensers. So basically, this rig can cruise around the map indefinitely, no energy worries. Ever thought of flying forever? Yeah, now you can.
Ah, so where was I? Right, wing designs! Not the first time someone’s mixed springs with Wings in the game. People were tinkering with this idea since 2023. But this one’s clean — no weapons weighing it down, just pure spring action. You don’t need those Zonai Batteries at all. Though, some folks suggest arming it for battles, which might burn some energy, but hey, small price to pay for a battlin’ bird.
Players are also building other spring-loaded antics, like catapults to fling Link across the map. It’s a wild ride…but maybe not as smooth as the Wings. Feels like a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for, if you ask me.
Anyway — wait, was I going somewhere with this? Oh, the series. Tears of the Kingdom just keeps thriving, and it’s cool to see how creative everyone’s getting. It’s like a never-ending toy box of surprises.
And now my mind’s full of images of Link zooming through the air — the clicks and clanks of those springs echoing like an old rusty trampoline. Weirdly musical. But hey, that’s Zelda for you. Who knew springs could be so… enchanting!
