Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Impressive Remote Control Truck (2024)

One Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player recently crafted an incredible remote control truck using a fairly uncommon glitch. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was a major hit, selling over 20 million units in less than a year, and spawning several popular videos of people making weird or amazing creations using abilities such as Fuse and Ultrahand.

Creating vehicles in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be one of the most fun parts of the game. Countless players have crafted unique vehicles so far, ranging from powerful tanks to planes or even mechanical aberrations such as Korok-torturing devices.

Now, a Tears of the Kingdom player called Blue_boy6996 shared their latest creation: a remote-controlled truck inspired by the real-life Ford F150 4W4 model. In the 20-second clip shared by Blue_boy6996 on r/HyruleEngineering, it’s possible to see the truck in action as Link remotely controls it from afar. This only works due to the “fuse entanglement glitch,” a bug in which the game thinks that an object is fused to Link’s shield even when it’s not. To trigger the glitch, a gamer needs to have an item that can be fused to Link’s shield and then press a sequence of buttons with exact timing to trick the game into believing the connection is there. Unfortunately, the glitch has been already patched by Nintendo after the 1.1.2 version of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so gamers would need an unpatched game to emulate Blue_boy6996’s work.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player's Remote Control Truck

Ever since the glitch was discovered, remote-controlled vehicles have become popular among the most skilled players. Last year, a Zelda player created a remotely controlled tank, for instance, which worked using the same glitch.

Different players have built all sorts of vehicles when playing the most recent Zelda, though, ranging from pretty conventional cars to complex airplanes. Earlier this week, one Tears of the Kingdom player created an amazing biplane that looked very realistic. The gamer shared some videos of flying the plane over Hyrule, surprising the community with how detailed the plane looked.

While some vehicle creations in the game are realistic, others are very strange. An example of that could be seen a few months ago when a Zelda player created a huge mechanical horse. Named “Diamond Ears” by its creator, this device was very weird, as it resembled a huge horse with some of its parts floating in the air, and a comically long neck and legs.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the sequel to the beloved open-world adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This installment once again sees Link and Zelda battling to protect Hyrule from falling to Ganondorf. This new adventure takes place in the same land of Hyrule as Breath of the Wild but sees something called the Upheaval, which allows link to travel to Sky Islands, as well as deep into the Depths beneath Hyrule. Players can use special abilities to fuse together weapons, and build items to help them progress through the release.
