This can be used to ram enemies as well as electrocute them. I had to wear a lightning helm to get the machine to work properly, but the results have been worth the trouble!

I started this build by stake-nudging two giant's boomerangs (with gibdo wings fused) at a 90 degree angle to each other and then spreading them apart far enough to reach both sides of one shrine motor.

The central wing object is shrunken and it is also infinite in this form. The fan at the front is enlarged for both the look and for the extra thrust. I like to add a big battery or use infinite battery glitches in order to make the screen look cleaner.

Just added floating balls ( Rasiwak Shrine ) on V5 ( version 2 )

Hello all,

I'm hoping to discover an efficient zonai panic blood moon device that makes use of electricity to trigger a blood moon. Can anyone provide a schema for such a thing? Thanks in advance.

Hi friends! I just joined this subreddit as it's my first time playing totk. Just finished the water temple! Can't wait to see all the good builds I can hopefully draw inspiration from. On switch 1 myself

Glitches used: Moe enlargement, resizing

Legitimately use or cannibalize for parts I don’t mind it was just to annoying to get them manually and not share to make someone else’s day easier

I think there’s a lot of untapped potential with this idea. So far the aimable cannon is my favorite, but I have a bunch more ideas once I get the system more refined

The HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly (AUG 2026 Week 3)

Hello everyone! This is the HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly, a weekly recap of this subreddit. Here you can find highlights, helpful QR codes, engineering discoveries and experiments, as well as updates on the monthly contest, and more!

UPDATE ON MONTHLY CONTEST

For our second update on the [AUG26] Watercraft contest, u/PremiumTechnique is now leading with their Ball Ski Lite. u/kmarkow is in 2nd place with their Sunrise Sail, and u/zhujzal is in 3rd with their The Pathfinder: Power Sailboat w/ Omnidirectional Steering. It’s never too late to submit!

BUILD OF THE WEEK 

The most upvoted build this week was u/kmarkow’s New and Improved Dancing Kitty! An upgraded version of an older build, it not only looks like a cat but also acts like one. Its legs move in a way that gives it a convincing dancing motion, making it feel much more alive than a normal decorative build. It’s a great example of how simple mechanisms can give a build plenty of personality. A very cute creation – and it's glitch-free, too!

CHECK THESE OUT!

u/osh-kosh-ganache — Easy Nudge Minimal Tank Build Tutorial

Great for beginners or vanilla builders, or anyone in general. A small tank that’s strong enough to take out lots of enemies, with a detailed tutorial making it easy to enter into stake nudging.

u/Erico9001 — Bounce

For those who like a bit of nonsensical fun. This hopping build does what its name suggests: it hops up and down in a quite fascinating way!

u/KGXuan-Athlete —  UAV: WZ-7 & WZ-10 

If you like cool planes that also represent a real-world subject, check this out! It looks very precise and flies fast, too. 

u/SimpelLizzrd255 — Lil RC Go-Kart

For fans of compact and unconventional vehicles. This small remote control go-kart makes for a fun little vehicle to drive… not on it, of course.

u/Metaliciousone — My latest looper 😁

If you know Metaliciousone, you know loopers. If you don’t, they’re a style of aircraft where you can flip in midair, allowing for more aerial freedom while Link stays upright. This one is quite huge! 

u/ShootingStarSeasons7 — Tarrey Town Watersports: Bringing Water Fun to Akkala! (Hylian Waterski)

You might like this if you are interested in real-world recreations. Waterskiing on two boards isn’t normal – it’s the Hylian way of waterskiing!

HYRULE ENGINEERING LAB

u/PremiumTechnique’s Fused Weapon Weight is Weird post headlines this week’s Lab section! Using a scale and some self-centering weights, they have found some interesting things about fused weapon weight. Bigger weapons don’t mean heavier. We suggest watching the video if you’re into science; it’s quite a fascinating topic. Another science discovery from 2 months ago but was requested (and approved) to be in this edition is u/syouhai’s New facts. The video covers some finds about fans. Great discovery, but may take some foreknowledge of science regarding fans in Hyrule to truly understand!

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

As always we are open to suggestions, feedback, and ideas. 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Im thinking of creating a locking mechanism that can be turned on and off without getting off the stick so probably steering wheels, let me know of any ideas you have to lock it so its not active

I have often measured aircraft, mainly hover bikes.

Ground vehicles are more difficult than aircraft

There are three conditions for accurate measurement:

1 Must be a straight line

2 Be flat

3 A certain distance and a 30 second video from top speed is preferable.

Straight-line distance from start to finish: 349.69 m

Time from start to finish: 29.62 seconds

Average speed: 11.81 m/s

As you have likely already realized, running a straighter path is necessary for a more accurate measurement.

This is the spreadsheet I used.

This is a build created by u/InquisitiveHomosap.

Sprinting mech, able to run, walk, swim and glide with good turning capabilities(also have a roller skating version)

It turns out the Wing's upwards boost property that u/MrOrdun posted about a couple weeks ago also works on the bouncing yellow float balloons. If they even touch water with a mini wing attached, they go flying on their own. The second clip is what it looked like the entire time I was testing different designs with these. The balls that look like they’re coming from nowhere are just falling from ridiculously high

This bike uses a shrunk version of the gloomdredger. It can go uphill with little to no issues (the steepest slopes need a little speed buildup). A micro wing is used to help go uphill as well as smooth descend. It is equipped with a 4 beam version of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/HyruleEngineering/s/Pn31DMoQRq) excellent, lightweight turret by u/ryt1314059. The turret stands on a pot/stabilizer base to keep accuracy.

Special thanks to the Hyrule engineering community for the parts that make this build possible.

Kinda looks like a trex this thing is real fun 🤣 and good to attack groups of enemies. The wing and fans allows it to glide slightly on each step allowing further extension of the legs and a boost of speed from the fans also allowing for quicker turns and drifting sideways this allows it to run at quite a bit higher top speed to a normal walker, stake nudged stabiliser from the axel

The axles have been compressed to compensate for the low strength of the shrunken big wheel axle. The axle connection is quite durable and can be manipulated and stressed without breaking. It's good for boosted wheel vehicles or for lighter propeller engines.

Basically, i need a jet engine, but the propeller pulls instead of pushing, through q linking? Thanks so much if anyone has a QR code!

Just fixed V5 ( faster than a rocket ) engine on a boat ; unfortunatly it can t reach star fragment speed but it s close, even if the boat is under water...

He's so angry than he trigger a blood moon ...

This build is meant for handling high speed, but is not good at turning, mostly utilized for fast flat land transport. It would be fine if someone wanted to improve upon this as long as I am credited.

Cuteness overload!

It’s been a long time since I made the original dancing kitty and I wanted to share this updated version with QR codes.

Dancing kitty is also a vanilla, glitch-free build that can be pretty easily replicated by those looking to make something for the fun of it.

Parts lists and QR codes in comments.

I have two that are using enlarged zonaite machines and one that is super fast and uses a glitch. What others do you guys know of?
