Tears of the Kingdom Player’s Jet With Movable Wings
One of these recentTears of the Kingdomcreations was shared by a Reddit user known as KGXuan-Athlete-7976 in a video. Impressively, the player created a jet that resembled an F-14 TOMCAT, featuring a sleek, angular design. As seen in the video, the airplane could fly thanks to rocket propulsion and had a steering stick for Link located behind where the cockpit of the aircraft would normally be located. While the overall design of the jet was notable, the wings particularly stood out. KGXuan-Athlete-7976 managed to build the machine so that the wings could fold and unfold, mimicking what a variable sweep-wing fighter could do.

So far, the post has earned a couple of hundred upvotes, with many comments highlighting the movable wings. It is worth noting that KGXuan-Athlete-7976 is a prolific builder, sharing manyuniqueTears of the Kingdombuilds, including land and air designs, on the game’s subreddit.
Besides KGXuan-Athlete-7976, many other gamers continue to show off creations despite the game being more than two years old, evidencing the creative possibilities of Ultrahand. For example, one player recently recreatedBatman’s Tumbler inTears of the Kingdom, pulling off a striking design.
