Making an ACTUAL HoverBIKE in Tears of the Kingdom

I've been fiddling with fans and steering sticks since day 1, and while there are many flying machine's out there faster and deadlier, this one, which I call a Skeeter, is my masterpiece.

How are we this far along in this game’s lifespan and we still don’t know the stake is the best perch to use when building anything? I joke I joke, but really using a stake makes building anything extremely easy! This is quite amazing. I really like this!

[@2CPhoenix]

Not me literally forgetting the stake is used as anything besides a musical instrument…

[@808zhu]

Try using the large rectangular stone slab. I feel like it's superior to the stake.

[@ericwindsor339]

its annoying when you have to manoeuvre around it so it doesn't get stuck in your autobuild lol

[@zammich3649]

the problem with the stake is you have to remove it afterwards, and autobuild only seems to remember when you ADD stuff. so whatever you're building has to have at least 1 component that can be added with precision AFTER removing the stake if you want the autobuild to work right

[@Cheese18372]

I like stakes but I don’t like them in my auto build lol

[@alex2217]

2:19 "wheely neely" is a fantastic play on words

[@Tekkerue]

My dad made a hover bike that slides across the ground with the physics broken railing. To find it on youtube, the video is called TOTK Hover Bike ++ w/ Rail (Ground Slider) by Trekrider. Because of the railing's low gravity it only requires two fans and you can transport Koroks. Your design has a couple advantages of better traversing through water and easier maneuvering through tight spaces, but my dad's works on both sand and snow since it's essentially a sled with fans and uses less battery with only two fans. The two designs seem to compliment each other very well and I'm definitely going to add this one to my autobuild too.

[@7xphos]

i literally just watched that and got here from it

[@galelululu]

ok mine’s a little unbalanced but this is just what I needed! Unfortunately I already finished all the caves and depths but being close to the ground but highly maneuverable is exactly what I need to keep searching for the wells. a dragon piece counterweight might help with the balance & keep it from respawning

[@gabu2199]

i just made it and can't stop using it, you have changed the way i'm playing the game from now on, thank you so much!!

[@curtomatic]

This design is GENIUS! I will definitely be using this. Great video!

[@wouterW24]

It's a interesting design, might try it, especially since it handles cliffs. There's a glitched rail you can obtain that allows flying machines that can fly stable close to the ground without flipping, but it's a bit broader and the lack of cliff scaling persists. I really miss the master cycle, it was just so polished with controls, being able to steer without accel on, being able to realign while standing still, having that little hop, being able to fall great heights, and especially summoning it on a whim and hopping on it before it's even fully formed. The wheels can do none of those, and especially with the summoning it's just part of your moveset. You don't ever have to protect it or drag with you since it's always in front of you when you need it, so on the rare occasions you do need to get off to jump or scale something you can just do so, preferably mid air driving off cliffs full speed. The zonai devices are magic with coding but they are all intentionally a bit clunky and improvised to use. At least flight is awesome.

[@2CPhoenix]

Don’t worry everyone, next video we go back to Game Break Down, just had to get this out of my system!

[@theddguy775]

So no lie I have the perfect machine for this. I’m not too online so I don’t have a video but would love to share if someone could tell me how!

[@theddguy775]

Land sea and air

[@Wormhole_content]

I enjoyed this more can we mix it up

[@Erifire]

Honestly, you put into words EXACTLY how I feel about the easy flying machines, and this is an amazing fix to it!

[@darklyo3784]

If you use the skateboard instead of the one wheel would you save on weight and power and get a relatively similar performance?

[@Ethan_24754]

I'll try that, thanks 👍

[@alan0285]

I tried with the sled and the results are great; you can slide on the ground or surf on the water and it really takes off with ease and it's very stable. The only downside is that you have to add an extra fan.

[@darklyo3784]

@@alan0285 three fans that still significantly less power than four fans and a wheel

[@justyourfriendlyneighborho903]

Thanks, this type of thing is exactly what I needed. I'm doing korok hunting and needed something that can go low along the ground so the koroks are actually in range of the korok mask, but also something that can fly anywhere and carry a load if needed.

[@moeschmoshow]

This video is so well done, def gonna use this design

[@m00nb0y]

I just build this and it is super fun to navigate around with! Awesome build!

[@12fishcake]

Given all this zonai tech, it's criminal we don't have a lategame mastercycle equivalent tbh, unless they're saving it for dlcc of course

[@cyclingsafely]

Amazing. You are so good at this!

[@Punchable-Face]

A Hudson Sign 3 fans, control stick. Very easy to attach the fans at the right angles, cheaper, smaller, perfectly balanced, and enough space for Koroks...

[@pbxellos9747]

this is a very neat build next time im playing it, i shall try this out.

[@GOICOBA]

Awesome build, thanks man

[@wildiconphotography3979]

This is an awesome build!

[@MinkDaddy]

THIS. THING. IS. AWESOME! Thank you! I'll take control over speed any day. Many of the other hoverbikes drive me crazy.

[@ocarinaoftime4116]

I made this today and it makes so much fun to ride it. Thanks for the video!

[@eligamerman]

Gotta respect the insane creativity this game offers, love it ;)

[@pastabenda2415]

I love this design I‘m gonna use it from now on

[@neurathal0n534]

Great design, and great video!

[@YouLousyKids]

FYI: I tested this out in my first run-through back when I commented three months ago. I managed to balance it without doing the middle fan thing. It was a lot of fun, especially since by that point I had two full layers of battery energy. Since then, I've started a new show called my "Glory Run" which is me doing a second run-through benefitting from what I learned the first time. I've been looking forward to doing this bike but it is such a battery hog that I'm only able to get to it now. I rewatched the video today to refresh my memory of the build. I'm hoping to test it out on my April 1 show (on my channel, if anyone cares) and save it to autobuild. At least with this design, it can be ground based so you can rest and recover without your vehicle needing reorientation with Ultrahand, and that's a nice selling point.

[@jordanbriton]

LOVE IT! Super handy - great video

[@Itinerant_Explorer]

Dude! What a great vehicle. I love it! Thanks

[@808zhu]

I'd be curious to do a build like this with icy meat instead of the small wheel 🙂

[@half_chub]

ill definitely be adding this to my favorites. ive already gotten the pair koroks but this will be useful when moving things around for sure

[@MelMario]

This is EXACTLY the sort of vehicle ive been lookin to make! And for the same reasons!!

[@frogwizard5477]

300 views? I was expecting this to have much more. You deserve it

[@lukeshioshio]

It has 10k views now, you were too early lol

[@Octobeann]

one aspect I really like about this is that it's also way easier to keep a consistent height while in flight, since returning the stick to neutral results in a near perfectly flat flight path, only going VERY slightly downwards.

[@fablecouvrette5334]

I like to stick some monster part skids on the front of a regular hoverbike, I think white linel sabers worked best, aligned like the skids on a skidoo- they have super low friction and keep it from flipping

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

Ive been trying to build something for this exact role for an embarassingly long amount of time. Happy to see someone else figured it out.

You could add battery performance - enhancement use recommendations on this build's video part 2. That's the other important thing when it comes to zonnai designs. This one is amazing.

[@EricIzabelle]

whenever there is a straightforward trip to be done, the stabilizer on the standard hoverbike (2.x) works wonders.. it also works on most vehicles ;-)

[@ken-vo]

The urge to swoop my vehicle as close to the ground without touching it is a human universal.

[@Alex-1776]

looks very practical

[@SilentVinyl]

Skeeter looks amazing

[@artisdmb]

This is a really cool build! Legit might replace my vanilla hover bike with this one ✌️

[@zammich3649]

i hear your Xenoblade X ost 👍 the design is pretty elegant and charming without being exorbitant. in general, i simply popped back and forth between an air trike and a small wheel buggy (then a two big wheel & stabilizer candy roller for steep terrain), but if ever get back into the game im gonna try this out because it looks relaxing and smooth.

[@edwardnedharvey8019]

Actually, you've convinced me. I really like that a lot.

[@calebmon]

I love it great idea! Thanks for making it and making this video this is exactly what I want

[@polyhex]

The opening line for this video is legendary

[@sixthdragoness9874]

Oooh I'm definitely gonna need to build one of these!

[@starlightpastel279]

1 this is amazing 2 heres a handy guide on making a highly effective weaponized version of this that also covers some neat building tricks along the way - First attach two extra fans to the top snapping point to increase its carrying capacity - Next attach a dragon part between the two back fans (horn fits into that space best but any will work) both to improve balance and massively increase the distance you can move away before it will despawn preventing zonite waste - Now add two lights on the back fans facing forward also for balance (i chose lights for added utility but anything of a similar weight will work) - Now its time to make an omni directional pulse laser (easier than it sounds) just attach a construct head head (head first) to another construct head at a 45 degree angle so that they face eachother then attach a laser to the EYE of the top construct head, if you've done it right the laser will fire in bursts only with enemies around not constantly - Finally attach your turret to the front of the wheel at an angle so it points out and up and now you have a crazy effective weaponized version PS for some context if anyone didn't know making the laser pulse fire makes it literally 10-15x more effective because when it hits an enemy that enemy gains temporary immunity to that beam for a few seconds but when it pulses on and off that immunity is reset each time allowing for a single beam to do the work of 10

[@DaimonAnimations]

I tested it, its pretty awesome design! Thanks!

[@fugdemaster]

First video and I had to sub. I love out of the box thinking 😸

[@EricRuskoski]

I'm doing that, that looks awesome! Nice Job!

[@ShuckfacedShank]

Took me a while to get it right but my god this is awesome! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

[@hardyjoe4278]

I made the airbike(The usual steering stick with two fans), and added two more fans, one on each side. So far it provides protection when I want Link to land. Sometimes he comes off the bike while still in the static standing pose. These are some crazy ideas.

[@36OLink]

When I clicked on this video, I didn't look at the views thinking it had at least 200 000 views. Now, after I watched the whole video and was about to like on this video I noticed and realised how underrated you are. I hope you're going to be a successful youtuber some day. 🔥🔥🔥

[@oldb-1kenobi]

I just made it!! OMG, it's so great and the best thing is no more crash landings! Thank you!

[@Claego]

Thanks, I'm gonna try it!

[@alchemysaga3745]

0:39 Idk why I find it so funny, but it makes me laugh that after the beyblade monstrosity hurt Link, Link drew his sword and turned around to stare at it. Just real, "Betrayal! Mutiny! Treachery!" vibes

[@ksemanr]

you probably already know, but if you attach a dragon scale to you vehicle, it will extend the range it exists without de-spawning to large enough to park outside any cave without losing it. You can auto-build fake dragon scales and it still works

[@TheNightmareAngelYT]

I followed your guide and it’s going pretty well so far. Zelda and Purah have taken note.

[@richardmahn7589]

Take note smote...did you take them for a ride?

[@richardmahn7589]

This video makes a good opening point that the Master Cycle Zero wouldn't be as good as useful in the game if they somehow allowed it to be back. Too many high places to get to, from cliffs and hills to floating islands.

[@PlutoniumBoss]

This needs a signal boost, I can't wait to get one of these into the depths.

[@myleswithay1362]

I'm currently working on a fan-made Tears of the Kingdom project, intended for second playthroughs to extend the life of the game, and one of the features included would be finding schematics featuring player-made vehicles. Would you mind if I include this build? Also please pardon me not being more specific. Considering the developer of this game I'm sure you can read between the lines and understand.

[@JHTC]

that's so brilliant!!

[@moss6235]

Sweet design!

[@dinomaster420]

God, i love this design

[@pabailon8799]

3:33 killing the power then into Recall to take out all momentum and go into direct downward drop.

[@RoseIsWrong]

Definitely had a bad first playthrough just because I never gave up the two fanned hover monster, but actually traversing the land (horse/car/walking) has made it feel more like an adventure, very much recommend

[@aspiringwayfarer]

Lmao at “wheely-neely” 😂

[@thinkingfubuki]

You mention the vehicle despawning as a possible concern and one of the advantages of being able to use the vehicle as you travel through caves, which is a valid concern, but did you know that by attaching a dragon part to a build, the entire build inherits the dragon part's massive "do not despawn this item" radius? This is why my Autobuild of the basic hoverbike has a light dragon scale poking out from the front edge of the front fan, because this doesn't affect the balance too much and makes it so my hoverbike is still there even if I venture pretty deep into a cave after parking it To clarify, it doesn't need to be a real dragon part; even a fake dragon part created through Autobuild will give the build the massive despawn radius, at the cost of 3 more Zonaite for each summon The best part is that if I don't want to have the dragon part on it and/or don't want to spend the extra 3 Zonaite, I can simply pull out the dragon part from my inventory and drop it on the ground, do the Autobuild, and pick up the dragon part to remove it from the build, kinda making it like a "summon material", in a way It adds an extra step per summon, but having the option to decide whether or not you want that extra functionality is worth that slight hassle, in my eyes I'll definitely be adding a dragon scale to the Skeeter when I build it for myself :P

[@Awoken_YKW_Fan9001]

Something like the build at 1:38 to 1:51 would also be a good land-air vehicle and if you put more fans on it, you could add weapons to it. You would just need to do the Infinite Wing glitch and use that for the build. The new infinite battery glitch could also help if that's too energy inefficient for you. (Edit:Actually, I might try this in a while...)

[@christopherruiz7842]

i wish you the best

[@higurashikai09]

This is awesome

[@CardboardBox8]

Land, air AND water?! Okay, screw hoverbikes, this is what I use now.

[@BMD-nn8wc]

3 fans, 1 cart, 1 stear stick. Using a "Y" setup.

[@MydnyteRaven]

People in the comments sticking meat to their vehicles like it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to come up with blow my mind. Fantastic video! Everything you do is so thought-through and well edited.

[@enel7754]

I use 2 rails and 1 fan, can fly, glide on land and water

[@michiro3639]

Really great ❤

[@UniqueVagueHope]

I just made a tri fan with the front raised at angle n its gotten me everywhere

[@Jociaoftrades]

Yeah. I got annoyed because my flying bike would fall into the water. So after finding the hovercraft down in the depths, I decided to crest a flying hovercraft instead. So it goes air land and water for me. And if I do fall off and it lands in the water, it will just float right back up. And I even have an easy time using recall in the air with it and standing in it. Honestly not the cheapest design, especially since I use 6 fans, but since I can still dupe with ease, I have no problem with a costly design. To the point I have a big launch craft I use under my hovercraft to get to further distances faster.

[@Otis-pd7ls]

Now I have to think of something different because this one exists online

[@timothymiller5539]

This is my favorite game. 🦅🍻

[@krzy1709]

Loved the video! Always wanted a low flying machine bc i love collecting loot off of every mob lol Not really relevant but thank you for welcoming nb peeps in your into, made me intsasub 😄

[@aspiringwayfarer]

Would the newly-found side-rail piece from the Depths Construct Factory that is super super light add any benefit to this design?

[@Wildicon19]

This puts my War Hawk™ to shame! I like it! It conquers Land sea and air!

[@Tazerboy_10]

😲- This is very interesting!

[@StefawnVan]

hey man I just successfully made this! it's great! thank you!

[@cristhof16]

Awesome!!

[@mr.e7005]

I kinda achieved this by slaping 4 fans on a cart, and for starters, it's much more energy efficient and lighter, but it can't wallclimb surfaces like this design, the cart would get stuck on a small outcrop and flip over throwing me off, otherwise it was my bread and butter for getting around

[@taliadx]

Same! Three fans on a sled and three fans on a cart are my two main vehicles, and they do the air-to-ground-to-air thing well enough. This vehicle looks fun though 👀

[@michaelmercury1297]

I'm kind of surprised Nintendo didn't put the Master Cycle in TOTK.

[@pixelpunchyt]

this would've been useful when I was clearing the Depths map instead of the cursed plane with detachable launch gear and landing gear that I built

[@apolloniakageaki1711]

This is so cool :D

[@mrkdgaming23]

Hey! its amazing! ✌️🤘

[@nathanielquetel2018]

I missed the master cycle quite a bit. A zonai cart placed just off the ground between two small wheels is decent enough. No wheelies though 😞

[@palicat8008]

xenoblade X music was very appropriate, totk transport reminds me a lot of skells

[@user-oz7fm4tq5x]

Exelent!!! Multi porpuse 😮

[@CoCofi8103]

I ended up trying to do this by instead using the bigoron sword as a base then attaching 2 fans on the hilts and one to the tip all facing back What ended up happening was it was close to the ground but was very stiff if i tryed to take off id have to pull up att the way it only went slightly up and turning whilse flying was practically impossible

[@Nen_niN]

I'll be adding this to my favourites, if for no other reason than to transport electric motors to the racing site faster

[@eternalcountelliott3225]

Seems more like a hover quad to me though you could easily make a low riding "hoverboard". Those that remember those will understand.

[@skinnyteeth1968]

We need a sand/snow one

[@RebellisSpiritus]

You forgot to add a dragon shard so it does not despawn till you go 2km away

[@rockkaleb3235]

Honestly if we can actually make something HOVER and not FLY holy god it would be fun

[@Xvicity101]

I know. I really want that too. However, due to the physics of tears if the kingdom, that would not be possible. I'm order for something like that to work, there would need to be a system in the physics where, the higher you are relative to the ground below you, the harder it is to gain lift. Using these physics, we would be able to make something that has just enough weight so that the flying machine can't go higher than a few meters off the ground, but not too much weight that it can't lift up at all. Unfortunately, the game doesn't work like that, so it's likely not possible.

[@djsgaminglife6397]

Helped to make a step by step guide on how to build the Skeeter for those that might have questions or need help. (answers questions like how to keep vehicle and fans straight, where to build the vehicle, what to take note of when saving autobuilds, etc.) :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPdeqmGocZ6aaM
