Summary
ALegend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer has discovered that it’s possible to create horizontal momentum with several springs and a wagon wheel. Over the past months,Tears of the Kingdomplayers have discovered new features, dialogues, and Easter eggs after hours of playtime. Recently, one has found a way to make music by combiningTears of the Kingdom’s Zonai devices, while another discovered a new crop that can be used to create dishes.
Some members of theZelda: Tears of the Kingdomcommunityhave been pushing the usual limits of the game to do experiments. Their results have impressed many players and showedTears of the Kingdomlines up with the basic rules of physics. One of these experiments has proved that players can build a tensegrity structure in the game by combining metal hooks and wooden slabs. The self-tensioning device exemplifiesTears of the Kingdom’s limitless creative potential. It will be interesting to see if players do more experiments based on physics and Zonai devices.

AZelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer has shared the result of their physics experiment on Reddit, discovering that the combination of springs and a wagon wheel can produce angular momentum. The player seems to have attached Zonai springs to a large wheel stacked to the ground. When they hit the compressed spring with an arrow, it extends to create a horizontal momentum and returns to its initial position. It looks like springs' elastic potential can be used to slingshot Link across Hyrule. On the Reddit thread, fellow players were impressed by this discovery, with the original poster adding that the angular velocity increases when the distance from the axis shrinks.
Players who want to see this strange phenomenon related to the game’s physics must obtain springs and wheels from the device dispensers found inTears of the Kingdom’s Sky Islands. These magical items can be used to create both vertical propulsion and horizontal movement. Besides, players can fuse springs with their equipment to jump higher and push enemies away from them.
There are a variety of experiments players have to try inTears of the Kingdom, such as building flying resorts, sending Koroks to the Sky Islands with balloons, and creating a laser wrestling ring. Many of these experiments require players to manipulate objects withLink’s Ultrahand ability. Luckily, they will unlock this ancient power in the early phase of the game to start building everything from scratch.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available now on Nintendo Switch.
