A rather creativeThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer has built a vehicle of death and destruction so ridiculous that it would make theSpider-Manvillain Big Wheel proud.Tears of the Kingdomhas been a hotbed of ludicrous creativity for its players who are having the time of their lives using the game’s mechanics to build some truly wild machines.
Since its release,Tears of the Kingdomhas allowed millions of players to be the unhinged engineers they’ve always wanted to be. From horrifying Korok torture machines to supremely cool flying devices that canbring some death-defying fun to the skies inTears of the Kingdom, there seemingly is no limit to the kinds of absurd devices players can make.

ATears of the Kingdomplayerwho goes by the name ClearFlat on the game’s subreddit is an example of that ethos, and in the process made a vehicle that looks like it’s about to attempt to kill Spider-Man. Big Wheel is one of Spidey’s more obscure and absurd villains. He is a former businessman-turned-supervillain who rides around in a one-man Ferris wheel outfitted with guns. ClearFlat is clearly trying to upstage Big Wheel, that, or they are auditioning to become his sidekick. Either way, they’ve built something Big Wheel would love: a big vehicle intended to kill but winds up being mostly just silly.
ClearFlat appears to have usedLink’s Ultrahand abilityto attach the center of a concrete column to a large Zonai wheel and then connected a Zonai steering device to the wheel as well. Both ends of the column are attached to a series of Zonai sleds that have spike barriers attached to their outer sides. The resulting machine is a drivable wheel of death that ClearFlat uses to squish everything from wild horses to Boboklins that happen to be in their path.
ClearFlat’s killer wheel may not be replacingLink’s stable of horsesanytime soon, but members of theTears of the Kingdomsubreddit who left comments on the post are comparing ClearFlat’s infernal machine to all sorts of circular pop-cultural death vehicles. A couple of examples include General Grievous’ TSMEU-6 Wheel Bike as seen inStar Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sithand the Phoenix Whirlwind, aka the Wheel of Fortune, driven by Jack Atlas inYu-Gi-Oh!.ClearFlat’s machine is right up there with some iconic rides.But, of course, comic book fans who love deep-cut D-list supervillains know that the true point of comparison here is Big Wheel. Sadly, and strangely enough, aZeldagame may be the closest we ever get to seeing Big Wheel on screen.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available now on Switch.
