In order to explore new locations in Hyrule, you will need to know the best flying vehicles in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. There are many various aircraft that you can find or create with your Ultrahand.

We are going to tell you about the best flying vehicles that you can fly through the sky in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Each of them serves a different purpose and you will need to choose the right one based on the task at hand

What are the best flying vehicles in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

There are a few ways to make an aircraft in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. However, each of these methods works differently, and gives your vehicle some unique parameters. So, let’s take a look at three of the best aircraft you can build in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Zonai Fans and Steering Sticks

There are two key elements that you will need to use to make such an aircraft. These are Zonai Fans and Steering Sticks.

Zonai Fans are special devices that can blow in a certain direction. Of course, such a thing can be used to lift your aircraft into the air and even make it fly through the sky.

The Zonai Steering Stick looks like a scooter steering wheel that can be used to turn your aircraft in different directions. If you combine a couple of Fans mounted at a 45-degree angle and a Steering Stick, you will get a fast and easy-to-control aircraft. The only downside is that it cannot fly for long, and requires you to have a huge energy cell.

You can attach two Zonai Fans directly to the Steering Stick or use a wooden plank to make a flying platform. In any case, you will get an effective aircraft that can work like a small plane or even a boat.

Zonai Wings

There is a glider-like item you'll often fid called the Zonai Wing. This device can be used to create a huge aircraft that is able to glide over long distances. Such a thing can be launched with the help of your Ultrahand or a special hand fan.

Once the Wing is in the air, you can control it. Here is a short guide on how to fly the Zonai Wing in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom:

  • Move your character to the back of the wing to make it glide upwards.
  • Move your character to the front of the wing to make it glide downwards.
  • Move your character to the left wing to make the glider fly to the left.
  • Move your character to the right wing to make the glider fly to the right.

It’s not the most comfortable aircraft, but it doesn’t consume your energy cells. So, you can use it to fly long distances, provided there's enough wind to keep it afloat.

Zonai Balloon

The final flying vehicle on this list is a hot air balloon. This thing works perfectly when you need to get up in the air quickly, but not in a specific direction. Simply put a Zonai Balloon on a wooden plank and use any source of fire to turn this structure into a hot air balloon. It moves up really fast and allows you to comfortably reach high places.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a game of possibilities, where you can use various features to craft or create different things. Hopefully, this guide will help you get some fresh ideas for your future aircraft!
