Tears of the Kingdom Player Makes a Vehicle Powered By Frozen Meat

We’ve seen plenty of cool Zonai-powered vehicles in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and we’ve even seen incredible devices run with electricity. But what about a vehicle powered by…meat?

Reddit user u/Superruub61 posted on the Hyrule Engineering subreddit today what they referred to as a “new breakthrough in highly-advanced, super futuristic technology no one would have ever thought was possible.” Attached is a 23-second video of Link riding a cart made of four platforms Ultrahanded together in a triangle shape, with pieces of “Icy Meat” attached to the bottom. When Link strikes the side of the cart, the force propels it forward, and the frozen meats attached to the bottom allow it to keep sliding for longer distances.

The frozen meat cart isn’t especially steerable, unfortunately, as it doesn’t include wheels or a steering stick, but it is an extremely simple contraption that seems capable of moving across flat terrain at an acceptable speed. Most important, though, is its total lack of Zonai or electric power use. You don’t need a single battery or a fancy electric motor to make this frozen meatmobile run forever.

No-power vehicles may be the next big thing for the Tears of the Kingdom community – u/bozokartoffl3 has previously posted an interesting no-power raft that can move across water at decent speeds, albeit with some similar steering struggles to the meat cart. But what’s making both these vehicles possible is a very specific building material: railings. Found only in a very specific place in Tears of the Kingdom, these extremely lightweight platforms have unusual properties such as slower falling speed, unusual buoyancy, and permanence even if brought into existence via Autobuild, meaning they’re ideal for weird building experiments.

Icy Meat has other uses as well, as some fans on Twitter have discovered.

Tears of the Kingdom players have really come a long way from just making bridges of greater and greater length to solve their problems. We’ve seen helicopters that can fly infinitely, and even got the Kerbal Space Program 2 developers to launch some Koroks into orbit with us.
