Beginning with a long-distance wide shot, the player’s machine powers up and possesses rotating blades most similar to a futuristic helicopter. As it flies across Tears of the Kingdom’s beautiful landscape, it wreaks havoc on the environment and enemies, blowing them to smithereens.

The creator explained that it was difficult to accumulate all the batteries they needed for the machine, saying they had to “Liberate the depths of its Zonaite reserves”. Specifically, they traded their acquired Zoanite for Crystallized Charges before converting those into batteries.
