AZelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer known on Reddit as MadeGuy1762 showed a unique podracer that consists of various Zonai devices, including fans and balloons. Interestingly, this functional podracer utilizes the thrust force of balloons to glide through the sky, and it travels faster than many other Ultrahand creations. The player seems to have put a Zonai fan and two batteries on the back of a sled to build the frame. Then, they glued two balloons to wooden logs and combined them with the Zonai sled.

The main components of this build are Zonai balloons, with which players can make flying contraptions to get to high-up locations in Hyrule. When filled with hot air, they carry Link over mountains and the Sky Islands. It’s safe to assume that players will spend a lot of Zonaite inTears of the Kingdom’s device dispensersto craft this wiggly podracer, given that they will need wagon wheels, a steering stick, batteries, a sled, wooden logs, and a Zonai fan apart from balloons.

Tears of the Kingdom’s Ultrahand abilityis brilliant at encouraging players to build their vehicle and home from scratch. It serves as a creative tool that manipulates almost every object on the ground. Using Ultrahand, Link can easily pick up, move, and glue materials to construct rudimentary structures in minutes. Its sticking functionality changes the way players explore Hyrule and allows them to make all kinds of deadly weapons, including military bunkers. Moreover, this valuable asset works in sync with the Autobuild ability, which makes it possible to rebuild previous creations automatically.
