Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is Truck Simulator for some players

If you’ve listened to any country music, you know there’s nothing better than a cold beer and a big truck. (Not together!) Link’s pleasures are not to be denied. Tears of the Kingdom: The Legend of Zelda?

Social media shows that many players have taken to Tears of Kingdom like it’s Truck Simulator, building out all sorts of equipment for the long haul. Want a semi truck? You’ve got it! What about a Ford pickup? A ford pickup? What about a tractor to haul logs? Yes — and you can choose whether it’s horse-drawn or powered by Zonai wheels.

Truck Simulator, for the uninitiated, is exactly what it sounds like — a simulation series where you drive trucks. There are all kinds of trucks. There’s American Truck SimulatorAlso, Euro Truck SimulatorThere may well be Hyrule Truck Simulator. Truck Simulator, despite the jokes, is a game that truly focuses on journeys, taking the player across North America and Europe. It’s possible to describe it as a “road trip”. Tears of KingdomHyrule can also be used in the same manner. Tears of KingdomNintendo’s Game-Breaking Tools allow players to create their own stories.

Most of the time, you can easily get by. Tears of KingdomJust fine without a pickup truck. But the pure joy of Link’s hair whipping in the wind while hauling Koroks across a rickety bridge? Priceless.

Driving my DIY cars is really a pain. And yet, there’s nothing more exciting than the idea of loading up my semi with Koroks.

Why not haul logs? Who knows when you’ll need it?

Want a spot for your Zonai? It works with a truck!

Look, you don’t even need a steering wheel. Play some music and hit the pedal. Hyrule doesn’t have many roads, though, so I’d suggest Zonai wheels over the wagon ones. It’s easy to make your own: you can find wood planks in Hyrule. Wheels, also important, can be found in gumball machines on the Surface Island and Sky Islands.
